Summary:

Epistemology has become one of the fastest moving disciplines in philosophy, as different answers are developed to classical problems, and logic, probability theory and computability are used for applications outside traditional epistemology. In this volume, up-and-coming scholars explore current trends and discuss prospects for future development.
