The volume develops themes ranging from theories of knowledge and understanding to trust, intellectual motivation, and the source of epistemic good. It also addresses religious epistemology, including virtues of mind, phronesis, and religious trust. Further chapters examine intellectual autonomy and authority, and confront skepticism through discussions of Gettier problems, regress issues, and arguments against skepticism.","Epistemic Values  \nEpistemic Values  \nCollected Papers in Epistemology  \nLINDA TRINK AUS ZAGZEBSKI  \n3  \nOxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford.

The papers themselves owe a tremendous amount to the many philosophers mentioned in these chapters and to many more whose work has inspired me over the decades. I am dedicating the volume to the memory of Bill Alston, who became a mentor and friend from the first time I gave a public talk in philosophy in 1984.","cbCaiiuyXcQRpOa0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiuyXcQRpOa0","pdf",3160170,3,1,375,"English","en",105,"# Acknowledgements\n# Introduction\n# Knowledge and Understanding\n## What Is Knowledge?\n##
