Review: There's a wonderful 'Further Reading' section at the end that gives sources ... - I picked up Nagel's book as a little refresher of epistemology. It is well-written, clear, and Nagel explains the basics of epistemology. Given it is a very short introduction, Nagel just scratches the surface. There's a wonderful 'Further Reading' section at the end that gives sources for further study.
Review: A well written introduction - This book gives a very clear introduction to epistemology. It leaves one with the impression that epistemology mostly deals with simplistic artificial cases. I’d like to have seen more recognition of scientific methods and results.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ S knows that p? Maybe!
*by R***T on December 12, 2014*

I bought this book for supplemental reading while taking a upper division course in epistemology. I referred to it while writing papers. The essay regarding Nozick's tracking theory was very helpful in one of my papers. After completing my course, I re-read the book. Following is my review. Prima facie the book gets a five start rating. However, the book has some short comings along with the content that is very good. It would be a very difficult task to write a short introduction of any subject that has its origins and roots tied to Plato (Theaetetus). It would be especially difficult since the subject matter has an on going debate to this day thanks to Gettier. My epistemology class was a ten week term meeting three times a week. That was thirty hours of study and lecture by a PhD philosopher. Our course content only hit the high notes of well known philosophers (Plato to Quine). So based on the scope and nature of A Short Introduction it gets five out of five stars. Not having a chapter on “The problem of Induction” and not mentioning David Hume is the only major short coming of this book.
