{"product_id":"essays-in-ancient-epistemology-9780198746768","title":"Essays in Ancient Epistemology","description":"Focusing primarily on Plato, Aristotle, and the Pyrrhonian skeptics, Fine discusses the following questions, among others: does Socrates, in the \u003cem\u003eApology\u003c\/em\u003e, claim to know that he knows nothing? How do Plato and Aristotle conceive of \u003cem\u003edoxa\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eepistêmê\u003c\/em\u003e? Are \u003cem\u003edoxa\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eepistêmê\u003c\/em\u003e belief and knowledge as we conceive of them nowadays? Do Plato and Aristotle allow us to have \u003cem\u003edoxa\u003c\/em\u003e of everything about which we can have \u003cem\u003eepistêmê\u003c\/em\u003e? How does Plato conceive of perception in the \u003cem\u003ePhaedo\u003c\/em\u003e and in \u003cem\u003eTheaetetus\u003c\/em\u003e 184-6? How should we understand his theory of recollection in the \u003cem\u003ePhaedo\u003c\/em\u003e? Do the Pyrrhonian skeptics disavow all beliefs? Do they have a conception of purely subjective experience? Do they take anything to be subjective? Are they external world skeptics? How do their views of subjectivity and skepticism compare with Descartes'? Taken as a whole, the essays explain why ancient epistemology is instructive and illuminating for us today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gail Fine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198746768","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45463123886217,"sku":"9780198746768","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_9fa01fa8-6f54-478c-a388-593004258d31.jpg?v=1774997524","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/essays-in-ancient-epistemology-9780198746768","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
