Epistemic Principles: A Primer of the Theory of Knowledge' presents a compact account
of the basic principles of the theory of knowledge. In doing this, Nicholas Rescher
aims to fill the current gap in contemporary philosophical theory of knowledge with
a comprehensive analysis of epistemological fundamentals. The book is not a mere inventory
of such rules and principles, but rather interweaves them into a continuous exposition
of basic issues. Written at a user-friendly and accessible level, 'Epistemic Principles'
is an essential addition for both advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in epistemology
