Descrizione del libro

Jonathan Kvanvig argues that epistemology cannot ignore the question of the value of knowledge and questions the assumption that knowledge is always more valuable than the value of its subparts. Clearly written and well argued, this 2003 book will appeal to students and professionals in epistemology.
