"In this book I begin by taking the question of what is meant by knowledge as an example of a philosophical enquiry. Having maintained that to say one knows a fact is to claim the right to be sure of it. I show how such claims may be disputed on philosophical grounds ... The attempt to meet these objections supplies the main subject-matter for what is called the theory of knowledge; and different philosophical standpoints are characterized by the acceptance of denial of different stages in the sceptic's argument ... I also make some observations about philosophical method, the dimensions of time, causality, and personal identity."--Preface. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams.
