Ancient Epistemology Naturalized

This book contains both a theoretical frame and a historical picture of the Erkenntnisproblem in ancient philosophy from the Presocratics to Plotinus. The theoretical frame opens and closes the book by discussing, at the beginning (Chapter 1), the difference between ancient epistemology and the modern ‘Standard Analysis’ of knowledge as justified true belief, and, at the end (Chapter 8), the difference between ancient epistemology and various brands of contemporary naturalized epis- temology from Quine to Williamson. G. ambitiously presents ancient epistemology as ‘a third approach’ (p. 1) to epistemology, an alternative to both the two main contemporary accounts of knowledge, Standard Analysis and naturalism.
