"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 ) "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.
