This is a pretty quick and easy introduction to Epistemology, the philosophy of knowledge. It gives a short overview about the questions the field is concerned with and why it's relevant. It's mostly rather objective in tone, but some of the opinions of the author shine through.
Most of this short book focuses on explaining the difference between Skepticism (the denial of possibility of all knowledge) and Fallibilism (there is no certain knowledge), which I found very illuminating.
I'm not sure how readable the book is for someone with no background in analytical philosophy, but I felt the author tries his best to keep it accessible.

Interessante Gedankenspiele über die Bedeutung von Wahrheit und Wissen und deren Konsequenzen für unsere Art Erkenntnisse zu erlangen. Da wir Wissen aufgrund unserer Fehlbarkeit nicht auf dem Ausschluss aller Irrtumsquellen fundieren können, bleibt uns scheinbar wenig übrig, als der fallibilistischen These nachzugeben und unsere Kriterien für Wahrheit und Wissen immer wieder feinmaschig und transparent abzustimmen und zu überprüfen.
