Title: The Currents in Analytic Epistemology
Product review: This book will definitely give one a good idea as to what the current debates in contemporary analytic epistemology are. Basic introductions to the topics debated are not always given, so it might be best to pair this book with a text that provides basic information about the major topics and themes in epistemology.Some of the pairings in this book are fantastic (I particularly enjoyed BonJour and Devitt discussing a priori justificaiton). Others are less than ideal, but still interesting.The structure of the book: Two philosophers write on a common topic. Each will write an essay of around ten pages. Most of the time, the philosopher will address the essay to her or his opponent. In some cases, the two essays will be followed by one or more replies.
