內容簡介
A companion volume to "On Understanding Understanding", this second edition incorporates corrections to the previous text and includes new readings. The works collected in this volume are mainly from the British Empiricists. The breadth of the selection is not so diverse that the pieces cannot be readily understood by a newcomer to Epistemology, they have a logical progression of development (from Locke to Berkeley to Hume), and all of the philosophers whose work is represented have had considerable influence on contemporary Anglo-American philosophy. In the introduction, Potter sets the selections in their historical context and urges the reader to form their own viewpoint in terms of the period's contribution to the advancement of culture, politics, and society. He gives a concise summary of the Enlightenment period, demonstrating how and why Rationalism and Empiricism came about, and challenges the reader not to simply note the points of disparity between the two schools, but to notice the similarities of their common assumptions - both substantive and methodological. "Readings in Epistemlogy" aims to be a useful classroom tool. A biographical note on the philosopher, and list of suggested books for further study, heads each of the readings. Study questions, designed to stimulate discussion, are at the end of each piece.
簡譯：作為“理解理解”的配套卷，第二版包含了對先前文本的更正，並包含了新的閱讀材料。本卷所收作品主要來自英國經驗主義者。選擇的廣度並不是如此多樣化，以至於認識論的新人無法輕易理解這些作品，它們有一個邏輯的發展過程（從洛克到伯克利再到休謨），所有代表其作品的哲學家都對當代英美哲學產生了相當大的影響。在引言中，波特將這些選擇置於其歷史背景中，並敦促讀者就這一時期對文化、政治和社會進步的貢獻形成自己的觀點。他簡要總結了啟蒙時期，展示了理性主義和經驗主義是如何產生的以及為什麼產生的，並挑戰讀者不要簡單地注意到這兩個學派之間的差異點，而是要注意到它們共同假設的相似性——無論是實質性的還是方法性的。“認識論讀物”旨在成為一種有用的課堂工具。每本書的標題都是關於這位哲學家的傳記，以及建議進一步研究的書籍清單。研究問題，旨在激發討論，在每一篇文章的末尾。
