PHIL 405 - Epistemology

Institution:

Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Philosophy

Description:

Takes a deep dive into the theory of knowledge, a core subfield of philosophy since Plato. Examines why knowledge is valuable to have at all, why we should care about it, the nature or definition of knowledge, and how we can get it. Considers whether knowledge precludes getting the truth by luck and whether we have obligations to have evidence-based beliefs, and looks at radical skepticism.
