Epistemology: What We Can Know
This program travels
from Plato’s cave to Gettier’s papier-mâché barns while addressing, along
the way, questions such as: What does it mean to really know something? How
can one know that one knows it? And is seeing the same thing as believing?
Deconstructing the principles of epistemology are Rutgers University’s Alvin
Goldman and Peter Klein and Princeton University’s Alexander Nehamas and
Daniel Garber. Their insights, in combination with incisive excerpts from
Aristotle’s De Anima, Descartes’s Meditations on First Philosophy,
Locke’s An Essay on Human Understanding, Hume’s A Treatise of
Human Nature, and Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason, illuminate the
complexity of “truth.” (46 minutes) The DVD version has on-demand English
subtitles and can be viewed using a DVD player or computer DVD-ROM drive.
