Bücher der Reihe Studies in Epistemology and Cognitive Theory

This updated edition includes analyses of the recent literature in epistemology. In addtion, a case is made for the strong connection between epistemology and artificial intelligence.

This work originated in the deeply-felt conviction that the widespread acceptance of Gettier-type counterexamples to the classical definition of knowledge rests in a demonstrably erroneous understanding of the nature of human knowledge.
