This module concentrates on issues in epistemology in the last ten years. It attempts to answer the following questions: What arguments can the sceptic produce that knowledge, justified belief and understanding are impossible? To what extent should we accept these arguments? What is the correct definition of knowledge? What constitutes adequate justification for beliefs? Is this justification to be found in the form of fundamental beliefs about sense-experience? Or is our picture of the world justified by its degree of internal coherence? What is truth? Can there be knowledge of the future? Can perception, memory and induction give us knowledge?
