Knowledge: A Very Short Introduction

What is knowledge? How does it differ from mere belief? Do you need to be able to justify a claim in order to count as knowing it? How can we know that the outer world is real and not a dream?Questions like these are ancient ones, and the branch of philosophy dedicated to answering them - epistemology - has been active for thousands of years. In this thought-provoking Very Short Introduction, Jennifer Nagel considers these classic questions alongside new puzzles arising from recent discoveries about humanity, language, and the mind. Nagel explains the formation of major historical theories of knowledge, and shows how contemporary philosophers have developed new ways of understanding knowledge, using ideas from logic, linguistics, and psychology. Covering topics ranging from relativism and the problem of scepticism to the trustworthiness of internet sources, Nagel examines how progress has been made in understanding knowledge, using everyday examples to explain the key issues and debates ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Very nice
Color: Green
It’s such a cute backpack! I’d get the beige color if using for work. The olive green can look a bit flashy in a corporate environment :( old people don’t know how to have fun

Great Backpack
Color: Green
I love this backpack which can carry laptop for work. Before I always carried two bags when I went to work. Now, I only need to carry this backpack which is enough for me everyday. The color is great too. Even though I carried a lot of stuff, I did not feel that heavy at all.

Nice but a bit small
Color: Dusty Pink
I like it. The color is great and it looks like the picture. You won't be tricked when you get it. However, it's a bit small. If you commute on the bus or train, this wouldn't work. It doesn't hold enough for that type of trip. But overall, it's nice just small.

Perfect Beis Dupe
Color: Dusty Pink, Color: Dusty Pink
The best Beis dupe. Matches my atlas pink suitcase perfectly. Good quality and fits my 16.5” laptop! I am thrilled. After ordering another brand and getting scammed I am over the moon with this travelers choice bag. Don’t waste your time trying cheaper versions. THIS is the one to buy!
