Timothy Williamson: Knowledge and its Limits

The book takes the simple distinction between knowledge and ignorance as a staring point from which to explain other things, not as something itself to be explained. In that sense the book reverses the direction of explanation predominant in the history of epistemology. It never offers a full-blown reductive analysis in the traditional way, but moves swiftly to applications of the new 'theory' to the philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, philosophy of language, decision theory ; from novel replies to scepticism, to the dispute between realism and anti-realism and paradoxes of game theory.
