What is knowledge? How does it differ from mere belief? Can we know that the outer world is real and not a dream? Epistemology is the branch of philosophy devoted to answering questions like these. This Very Short Introduction explores classical and contemporary epistemology, covering topics from ancient relativism and scepticism to the trustworthiness on internet sources. Using intuitive examples and ideas from linguistics and psychology, as well as philosophy, Jennifer Nagel explains what we now know about knowledge.
