Media Reviews
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 A distinguished contributor to the field guides newcomers with characteristically clear and distinct thought and discourse. An excellent introduction. Ernest Sosa, Brown University 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. Laurence BonJour, University of Washington In lively and accessible prose, Fumerton presents rival positions fairly and sympathetically while not hiding his own influential views. Richard Feldman, University of Rochester
