Knowledge and Its Limits
2000 philosophical essay by Timothy Williamson
9780191598678 Knowledge and Its Limits, a 2000 book by philosopher Timothy Williamson,[1] argues that the concept of knowledge cannot be analyzed into a set of other concepts; instead, it is sui generis. Thus, though knowledge requires justification, truth, and belief, the word "knowledge" cannot be accurately regarded as simply shorthand for "justified true belief". It initiated a new approach to epistemology, generally referred to as knowledge-first epistemology.[2]
