Abstract	"Epistemology: What it is and Why You Should Care is an introduction to epistemology written with the student foremost in mind. It provides an overview of basic concepts and problems in the theory of knowledge and directly addresses a question that is often foremost in the minds of students: "Who Cares?" Author Michael Veber first identifies where epistemology is, locating it within the larger field of philosophy, as well other areas of study and life in general. He explains how controversial assumptions about knowledge and inquiry are so fundamental and pervasive they can be invisible. Yet they are also unavoidable in life and in any effort to figure things out. The book explains how even the harshest critics of philosophy make assumptions about knowledge-and thus must care about epistemology. This leads to a discussion of the roles of reason and observation in knowledge. That is followed by a discussion of the nature and purpose of inquiry. Along the way, abstract issues are brought to life with concrete examples and historical context. By the final chapter, readers will understand the key concepts professional philosophers debate-and recognize how one's own thinking fits within these conversations. This book is perfect for a broad range of students and anyone else who is curious about the nature and limits of knowledge and the value of philosophy. Michael Veber is Associate Professor of Philosophy at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, USA. He is the author of Tell Me Something I Don't Know: Dialogues in Epistemology (2019)"-- Provided by publisher.
