EPISTEMOLOGY

Epistemology is the theory of knowledge


In epistemology I have written on the definition of the concept of knowledge in light of the Gettier problem, and on the problem of the criterion or diallelus. I have also published on Plato’s anamnesis theory of knowledge, and the sophist’s skeptical dilemma in Plato’s dialogue, the Meno.


Listed here are publications specifically about epistemology:
