Recenzii
beautifully written, cogently argued, and addresses a bundle of important topics in epistemology
[The books] virtues are manifold, but most noteworthy is the penetrating nature of the arguments she deploys against the views she opposes. Even if the reader is not fully convinced, there is no question that one's understanding of each issue is deepened in the process of attending to her discussion.
Epistemologists will get a great deal out of engaging with this book. It's clearly written, and it offers a number of interesting and persuasive arguments on a range of topics at the centre of contemporary epistemology, in particular the relations between knowledge, justification, evidence, and action, scepticism and the epistemology of defeat. Anyone interested in these issues - so anyone interested in the core concerns of contemporary analytic epistemology - will find engaging with Brown's timely and welcome contribution rewarding.
