Epistemology
"A distinguished contributor to the field guides newcomers with characteristically clear and distinct thought and discourse. An excellent introduction." "Fumerton’s new book is a concise and tightly argued introduction to both the most central issues of epistemology and the leading recent views and arguments pertaining to those issues." "In lively and accessible prose, Fumerton presents rival positions fairly and sympathetically while not hiding his own influential views."

“This book will interest those who teach undergraduate or graduate epistemology, like the idea of using a single-author text, but are unsatisfied with the current options.” (Philosophy In Review) “This book is an accessible introduction from the perspective of a leading epistemologist. It efficiently surveys and appraises recent work in epistemology. Principal positions are fairly presented. The criticism is crisp. Fumerton’s position has considerable force, as this book brings out.” (Review of Metaphysics)
Epistemology is an accessible and indispensable volume for undergraduates studying philosophy.
