The book came in the described condition but took almost as long as the shipping said it would. Came on day 12 of 15.

Epistemology: A Sourcebook

Here is a volume that contains dozens of essays and articles on epistemology, ranging from classical times to the modern age. This anthology will act as an introduction to Epistemology, while it also presents material that is more comprehensive and authoritative, as it shifts from the basic to the specific. Pojman's third edition is a valuable philosophical sourcebook that should not be overlooked.

Epistemology

My thoughts are: This is a book worth buying in hardback. Save your money. It is comprehensive in its scope of the subject and it is also well organized. Perennial edition. A superb place to pick-up the subject. The articles are short and sweetly picked. All articles are complete reprints, not abridgements. Some of the essays include The Goodman article on "grue", The Gettier problem, Kripke, A.J.Ayer "The apriori" kant, Stawson, Plato and Stace. Easily the best catalogue of articles bound together on this subject so far. Yes, it's expensive. But for your money you get prime articles in a well typset book. Easy on the eye. It just saves time, and puts you in the spotlight of contemporary discussion on epistemology. Pity no radical or mystical aspects.
