This work provides an introduction to contemporary epistemology. Haack discusses and criticizes the views of a range of contemporary philosophers - Sir Karl Popper, W.V.O. Quine, Richard Rorty, Alvin Goldman, and Paul and Patricia Churchland, among others. Haack proposes original solutions to the problems of epistemology, examining the failures of traditional foundationalist and coherence accounts and setting out to achieve a satisfying synthesis of the legitimate elements in both.
