| 520 | 0 | |a Knowledge for Humans is a textbook aimed at introducing students to fundamental questions about knowledge and skepticism. Many topics often covered in epistemology textbooks are also covered here, such as radical Cartesian skepticism, phenomenalism, externalism, and naturalism.

It’s written in an easy-going style with clear examples and funny diagrams. | |
