- Summary:
- Timothy Williamson's 2000 book Knowledge and Its Limits is perhaps the most important work of philosophy of this decade. Sixteen leading philosophers have joined forces to give a critical assessment of ideas and arguments in this work, and the impact it has had on contemporary philosophy. They discuss epistemological issues concerning evidence, defeasibility, scepticism, testimony, assertion, and perception, and debate Williamson's central claim that knowledge is a mental state. The book concludes with Williamson's responses to each contributor.
