This course focuses on issues in epistemology with the aim of providing a survey of contemporary work. The course begins with a close reading of Descartes's first three Meditations. These should help us set some of the problems that figure in more recent work and provide an introduction to certain fundamental epistemological concepts. No particular background is assumed, but participants are expected to come to class prepared to discuss topics at an advanced level. Readings are taken from original sources and can be challenging. Although most assignments are reasonably short, you should allow time for careful reading and re-reading. Prerequisite: one 100- or 200-level course in philosophy, or permission of instructor.
