This course is
problem-oriented, and critically examines contemporary answers to questions
which include: "What is knowledge?”, "What are the limitations of knowledge?”,
"What is belief?” The course also examines the status and extent of our
knowledge of the world, of ourselves, and other people. Problems about the
nature of knowledge, the justification of claims of knowledge, the relationship
of knowledge to belief and truth, perception, and the viability of scepticism
will be discussed. We will also explore knowledge issues in the Caribbean/Africana
context.
