Expression and Self-Knowledge
Provides a timely and original contribution to the debate surrounding privileged self-knowledge. Contemporary epistemologists and philosophers of mind continue to find puzzling the nature and source of privileged self-knowledge: the ordinary and effortless ‘first-person’ knowledge we have of our own sensations, moods, emotions, beliefs, desires, and hopes. In Expression and Self-Knowledge, Dorit Bar-On and Crispin Wright articulate their joint dissatisfaction...Paperback$5299Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -

Epistemic Justification
Ever since Plato, it has been thought that one has knowledge only if one has belief, one's belief hits the mark of truth, and does so with adequate justification.

BonJour defends a traditional,...Paperback$8399Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -

Independently, Judith Jarvis Thomson examines what she...Paperback$8399Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
