Epistemology is the study of knowledge. Epistemological questions include questions about the nature of knowledge, the difference between knowledge and true belief, the nature of justification, and the structure of our knowledge about the world. Epistemology is also centrally concerned with understanding and responding to arguments for skepticism, the view that we do not know anything about the world around us. The aim of this course is to introduce students to the some of the main problems of epistemology and to investigate some of their solutions.
