Synopses & Reviews
What is knowledge? How hard is it for a person to have knowledge? Good Knowledge, Bad Knowledge confronts contemporary philosophical attempts to answer those classic questions, offering a theory of knowledge that is unique in conceiving of knowledge in a non-absolutist way.
Review
"Good Knowledge, Bad Knowledge is an interesting and provocative book, defending novel views about a wide range of issues in contemporary epistemology. It is written in a clear and straightforward manner, and is devoid of unnecessary technicalities. Hetherington is always clear about what he is arguing for and candid about what he thinks he has established and what he has not. I found it to be an enjoyable book to read."-- Richard Feldman, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
