Epistemology is the philosophical study of knowledge.
It addresses questions such as:
- What kinds of knowledge there are?
- Where knowledge comes from?
- Whether there are things that we cannot know?
- How we can know what we do not know and look for it?
Clearly such issues are strongly related, for example: to the study of science and how science progresses. A great deal of epistemological research has been aimed at confounding scepticism.
Plato was the first epistemologist of any note; a list of greats would include:
- Aristotle
- Descartes
- Spinoza
- Leibniz
- Locke
- Berkeley
- Hume
- Kant
- J.S Mill
- Bertrand Russell
- W.V.O. Quine.
Important writers who have made contributions working currently include:
- Donald Davidson
- Alvin Goldman
- Susan Haack
- Jurgën Habermas
- Robert Nozick
- Richard Rorty
- Timothy Williamson
