PHL 317 Knowledge

This course offers a detailed examination of contemporary analytic epistemology, or the study of knowledge. Knowledge and related epistemic concepts such as belief, justification, truth, and probability are integral to the ways in which we understand the world. Before we can make substantive claims about anything, we must consider the conditions under which we can know something. To that end, this course may cover topics such as:  theories of knowledge, justification, and probability, skepticism, and issues at the intersection of ethics and epistemology such as testimonial injustice and moral encroachment.
