Pengantar Filsafat Epistemologi

by Brian C. Barnett (Editor), Taufiqurrahman (Translator)

Epistemologi tradisional bermula dari analisis atas pengetahuan, sehingga melahirkan isu-isu turunan seperti soal justifikasi epistemik, sumber pengetahuan, dan skeptisisme. Ketika analisis tradisional itu selalu menemui jalan buntu, terutama sejak terbitna artikel tiga halaman Edmund Gettier pada 1963, wajah epistemologi mulai banyak berbah. Ia mengalami beberapa balikan, mulai dari balikan nilai, balikan formal, hinga balikan sosial. Balikan pertama melahirkan epistemologi keutamaan, balikan kedua melahirkan epistemologi probabilitas dengan kernagka bertingkat, dan balikan terakhir melahirkan epistemologi sosial dan juga feminis. Semua isu tersebut diulas dengan sangat baik dalam buku pengantar ini.

It's my book, so my rating is admittedly biased :)

I had read two Introductions to epistemology in my native tongue before I read this book so the idea was not to learn new concepts but to get introduced to the English Terminology of Epistemology. Social and Feminist Epistemologies are rarely discussed in Modern Arabic Philosophy so it was a new topic for me. I liked that the book is full of names in some historical order which helps to grasp the content of concepts beside its growth in Economic/Political contexts. Very recommended for beginners but take care of the postmodern leftist bias.
