Read for my "theory of knowledge" class.

Imagine you see princess Diana is London and are like "woah! that's princess Diana" but unbeknownst to you there is a princess Diana impersonator contest in so there are thousands of princess Diana look alikes flooding the streets of London. What is even crazier is that you saw the real princess Diana. Is your belief that you saw princess Diana knowledge? <- why would anybody ever ask something this stupid and dumb 💃🦹‍♂️🕺🤸😡😡🤸😡🕺💃🕺🦹‍♂️

This made my brain hurt. The blurb on the back states it's for those new to philosophy but the writer did introduce concepts that were a little alien to anyone who had not read any philosophy before. It was a good book but one I will have to reread several times.

كتاب يتحدث عن علم الابستيمولوجيا او المعرفة.....علم معقد جدا وفلسفي الى ابعد الحدود.....علم جديد بالنسبة الي ولانه اول كتاب اقراه في هذا المجال كان المشوار صعب قليلا هههههه
ولكن اطلاعاتي البسيطة في الفلسفة واللغة التربوية المستخدمة في الكتاب سهلة الكثير علي.....حيث ان الكتاب موجه لطلاب اول سنة جامعة في الفلسفة
علم المعرفة حسب فهمي من الكتاب هو فرز ومناقشت كل ايمان او معتقد يعتقد به الشخص...
Belief evaluation
هذا هو المحور الرايسي في هذا العلم وفي هذا الكتاب....قريب جدا الى مفهوم المنطق....نضريات عديدة جدا من مدارس فلسفية يناقشهة الكاتب من منضورات عدة....مدارس متعددة :
Empiricisim
Skepticism
Externicism
Fallibilism
Bayesianism
بدون الدخول في التفاصيل المعقدة.....لم استوعب كل الموجود في الكتاب لاني لم ادقق ولكن تقريبا ٨٠% كان استيعابي....اللغة البسيطة ايضا ساعدة كثيرا في هذا الشيئ....لان الكتاب موجه لطلاب الجامعات...

Holy crap this guy is clear! This would make an excellent adjunct reading for an undergraduate survey of epistemology.
