Part IV: Epistemology
Further reading in Epistemology
Some useful textbooks
Pritchard, D. H. (2009). Knowledge. Palgrave Macmillan. [A more advanced – and, note, opinionated – overview of the core themes in epistemology than offered by the same author in What Is This Thing Called Knowledge?. It is also worth noting that a second, expanded edition of this textbook is due out shortly.]
Pritchard, D. H. (2013). What Is This Thing Called Knowledge? 3rd Edition. Routledge. [A very accessible introduction to the core themes in epistemology, which presupposes no background in philosophy.]
Some useful readers
Neta, R. and Pritchard, D. H. (2008). Arguing about Knowledge. Routledge. [An accessible, and in some places quite quirky, selection of readings in epistemology, covering a wide variety of topics.]
Sosa, E., Kim, J., Fantl, J.and McGrath, M. (2008). Epistemology: An Anthology. 2nd Edition. Blackwell. [Still the best general anthology of central readings in epistemology available.]
Some useful encyclopaedias/dictionaries
Bernecker, S. and Pritchard, D. H. (2010). The Routledge Companion to Epistemology. Routledge. [This is the most comprehensive companion to epistemology available, covering all the major topics in considerable detail. Note that it is quite advanced in places.]
Blaauw, M. and Pritchard, D. H. (2005). Epistemology A–Z. Edinburgh University Press. [This is perhaps a bit dated now, but it is very concise, so may be useful if you can get it cheaply.]
Dancy, J., Sosa, E.and Steup, M. (2010). The Blackwell Companion to Epistemology. 2nd Edition. Blackwell. [Still the best companion to epistemology available, particularly now that we have the revised second edition.]
