⭐Bueno

⭐A reasonably well balanced textbook containing 17 articles and an introduction from the editor. Editors have done a good job, as most the authors of articles have actually read other articles and thus they actually complement each other — thing rarely seen in this kind of publications. Of course some articles are better than others, but most of them stay rather well on the subject and are well written.Traditional problems of epistemology are reasonably well discussed and problems of scepticism are well covered. Some of the current trends are not so throug and though dealt with, but that is more than acceptable when it comes to a rather general textbook. There are 4 chapters on current trends including the required chapter on feminist epistemology (I presume it is not possible, at least anymore, to write a textbook without saying something about feminist viewpoint too).Some basic information about epistemology is required. Although there is an introcution, it’s only a summary of contents of chapters, so you should at least have some idea what scepticism, externalism, internalism and other related philosophical jargon means. That said, I think this book is suitable for a philosophy student at undergraduate or graduate level.Book is well worth it’s price, but there are negative sides too. As usual, binding is very poor quality and not suitable for library use: pages will fall out very soon. Some proofreading work should have been done too, the book is full of somewhat annoying spelling and typing mistakes, for example ‘the’ instead of ‘that’ etc.

⭐Excellent for A Level Philosophy
