This program travels from Plato's cave to Gettier's papier-mâché barns while addressing, along the way, questions such as: What does it mean to really know something? How can one know that one knows it? And is seeing the same thing as believing? Deconstructing the principles of epistemology are Rutgers University's Alvin Goldman and Peter Klein and Princeton University's Alexander Nehamas and Daniel Garber. Their insights, in combination with incisive excerpts from Aristotle's De Anima, Descartes's Meditations on First Philosophy, Locke's An Essay on Human Understanding, Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature, and Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, illuminate the complexity of 2truth
