Mr.Savik
Arlene Wilson gave this book a terrible review and all of her points for doing so are misguided for a few reasons, First, Arlene does not understand that this is not a general survey text for an introduction class in philosophy. This text is specific to epistemology. Secondly, Wilson does not understand that this book is an anthology of papers written by philosophers dating back to the ancients. That being said, this is not an instructional textbook. It is a reader and the authors do a great job of presenting an overview of the major ideas contained in each section. The instruction she seeks is supposed to come from someone trained in philosophy. It is possible to learn from the papers contained in the text, but only under the presupposition that one has already studied somewhat extensively in philosophy; otherwise, confusion, such as that experienced by Wilson is sure to follow.

I am a professor at City College of San Francisco, and I use this text for my class PHIL4: Knowledge because it contains all of the major historical treatises on epistemology and many seminal contemporary works. Furthermore, the book is organized in such a way that there are often main articles and responses to those articles. For example, the Gettier paper on the insufficiency of the JTB account of knowledge includes two enlightening responses. Lastly, all of the papers in the text are fairly non-technical. In other words, one does not need knowledge of advanced predicate calculus to understand the content, so intro students can grasp what's at stake with each topic, with the guidance of an instructor, of course.

A philosopher's handbook!

Can I give a half star?? This has to be one of the worst written and presented books on philosophy-- ever!

It tries to give a chronological ordering of various theories and philosophers-- without a strong foundational companion book, guide, CD, DVD, pamphlet, or website. Multiple reviews of the book add no further insight, and only accomplish bringing on sinus headaches, migraines and elevated blood pressure.

Of the many difficult text books I have used, I have learned that time gives one better insight and perspective on its usefulness.

It has been two years-- the book is still awful.

In fact, it is so awful that I would recommend the following:

1. Buy the book to carry to class; make sure it has a dust jacket so you can get full value when you sell it back to the store

2. Don't buy the book-- ask the book seller to reccommend another text that provides a GOOD overview of the various branches of philosophy, and they relate to each other. That way you actually learn something, because if you are depending on this book for a good grade, its not happening....
