Considering how much it costs to buy this book, the rental price is amazing. The book is well worn and kind of moldy/spotty but does the job.

mandatory text book. Boring as hell.
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2016
I received it earlier than expected although the front was not as neatly smooth as I thought.
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2006
Here is a volume that contains dozens of essays and articles on epistemology, ranging from classical times to the modern age. This anthology will act as an introduction to Epistemology, while it also presents material that is more comprehensive and authoritative, as it shifts from the basic to the specific. Pojman's third edition is a valuable philosophical sourcebook that should not be overlooked.
