PHIL 220 - Epistemology: The Theory of Knowledge


Credits: 4
What do you really know, and how can you justify your claims to know? This course examines the ways in which philosophers have attempted to answer these questions. It considers skepticism about the possibility of any certain knowledge, presents analysis of reasonable and unreasonable uses and interpretations of the term “truth,” and explores recent failed attempts to provide foundations for knowledge in empirical evidence.
