Epistemology
What it is and Why You Should Care This book is an introduction to epistemology written with the student foremost in mind. It provides an overview of basic concepts and problems in the theory of knowledge and directly addresses a question that is often foremost in the minds of students: "Who Cares?" Epistemology: What it is and Why You Should Care tackles the question undergraduates often ask when they first confront any subject: âWho cares?!â Michael Veber argues that epistemologyâlike water to fishâis often invisible yet essential to our lives. He shows how controversial assumptions about knowledge and inquiry are fundamental and pervasive, shaping even our simplest efforts to understand the world. Geared to those with no background in epistemology or philosophy, the book's accessible, conversational style brings epistemology to life through vivid examples, including murder mysteries, FBI surveillance operations, Nazis, and flat Earthers. By the final chapter, students will grasp the most fundamental problems and concepts in epistemology and see how their own thinking fits within them. And they will have fun doing it. Ideal for a wide range of students, this book speaks to anyone curious about the nature, limits, and value of knowledge.
