PHRE 370 - Epistemology


What do you know, and what is reasonable to believe? Can we reasonably believe certain things in the absence of evidence? What exactly is knowledge and reasonable belief, and how do we acquire either of them? In addition to addressing these questions, we see what kinds of responses we can give to the skeptic who challenges the reasonableness of our beliefs. We also investigate the character and epistemological standing of perceptual beliefs, beliefs about the future, belief in certain “self-evident” truths, and scientific beliefs.
