Bøger af Jack S. Crumley II

Offers an engaging survey of central metaphysical topics, including truth, universals, the nature of mind, personal identity, free will, time, and the existence of God. The book is pitched at an intermediate undergraduate level and is suitable for students without background knowledge in these areas.

Metaphysics and the theory of knowledge lie at the heart of the Western philosophical tradition, and yet they are notoriously tricky subjects to engage. In this book, Jack Crumley makes those difficult topics intelligible, not only introducing the central issues and arguments but also explaining their broader significance, thereby connecting abstract themes to more familiar concerns.

Shows not only how philosophers such as Descartes, Hume, Locke, Berkeley, and Kant foreground the contemporary debates, but also why they deserve consideration on their own terms. This book provides an introduction to the central topics in epistemology. It is suitable for undergraduate students taking their first course in epistemology.
