In this part of his Introduction to Philosophy, Leo Stan overviews the topic of knowledge, i.e., the distinct philosophical field of epistemology.

Concrete, easy-to-understand examples are offered for the illustration of each theory. Third, he offers some tentative answers to the questions: why does epistemology matter and who is it for?
