How Do We Know?

James K. Dew Jr. and Mark W. Foreman, How Do We Know?: An Introduction to Epistemology (InterVarsity Press, 2020)

Summary: Very carefully and patiently argued—point by point, assertion by assertion, inference by inference. Highly readable, concise, and very well organized.

Key Quote: “It is one thing for us to have limitations in our ability to grasp fully the details and nature of reality. It is quite another thing, however, to say that we cannot make any true statements about reality and that nothing is objectively true.” - p. 38

Bottom Line: Read this book if you know things but might have trouble explaining what it means to know anything.
