Oxford Studies in Epistemology is a biennial publication which offers a regular snapshot of state-of-the-art work in this important field. Under the guidance of a distinguished editorial board composed of leading philosophers in North America, Europe, and Australasia, it publishes exemplary papers in epistemology, broadly construed. Topics include traditional questions concerning the nature of belief, justification, and knowledge, the status of scepticism, and the nature of the a priori, as well as newer developments such as naturalized epistemology, feminist epistemology, social epistemology, and virtue epistemology. It also covers foundational questions in decision theory, confirmation theory, and related areas of philosophy of science, along with connections to cognitive science, psychology, and other disciplines. Anyone wanting to understand the latest developments at the leading edge of epistemology can start here.
