Written by an international assembly of leading philosophers, this volume presents seventeen newly commissioned full-length survey articles on the central topics of epistemology.

Topics included are skepticism, realism, contextualism, moral epistemology, religious epistemology, internalism and externalism, naturalized epistemology, rationality, foundationalism and coherentism, feminist epistemology, post-modernism and epistemology on the continent, and social epistemology.

Each essay in the guide incorporates both background information clarifying the history and logic of the relevant topic and new material by a leading author in the field. As a result, a valuable resource has been created for a broad range of scholars and students, including experts in epistemology.
