Knowledge by Jennifer Nagel
A Very Short Introduction
A concise introduction to epistemology that explores what it means to know, how knowledge differs from belief, and why classic challenges like skepticism and Gettier cases matter. It surveys key sources of knowledge—perception, memory, introspection, and testimony—while comparing internalist and externalist approaches, including reliabilism and virtue-theoretic views. Using everyday examples and insights from cognitive science, it explains how humans form and attribute knowledge, the social dimensions of knowing and disagreement, and offers a measured response to radical skepticism.
