Understand epistemology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is an excellent anthology of primary sources in epistemology for an undergraduate or first year graduate level course. It is also a nice reference source for those who specialize in other areas of philosophy. Moser's introductions to each cluster of readings is of just the right length and depth (short but insightful). Although the lay reader will probably not be able to just plough through this book unless she has an unusually strong interest in the subject, it does its job of providing an historical overview and topical introduction to epistemology. The only shortcoming of the book, perhaps, is its omission of the internalism/externalism debate.
