Publisher's Summary:
It is made clear what knowledge is and how we acquire it. It is also explained how we can have knowledge of the future, the past, the possible, the imperceptible, and the non-existent. The Gettier problem is solved, and it is proved that we have a prior knowledge, as well as knowledge of non-trivial but purely analytic truths.

Confusing!
I bought this book so I would hopefully get a better understanding of epistemology. I am driving to work and thought that I would be able to drive to work and listen to this book. I am so confused by the first chapter. I am not even sure if the person that is talking is real. The Voice came over as automated. It did not come across as real and I thought that it was an epistemology crash course. I stopped listening at chapter 2. I will however continue to read or listen to the rest of this book, but I felt the need to convey how I felt about this book.
Huh?
I was completely lost from the very first sentence. Not at all easy to follow. More confused than before listening.
