«Introdução à Teoria do Conhecimento» is Dan O'Brien's introduction to epistemology, published by Gradiva in paperback (379 pages, in Portuguese).
Dan O'Brien approaches epistemology as a central discipline of philosophy and asks what it means to know, what the sources of beliefs are, and how to justify them. Using examples from film and literature, he presents positions such as empiricism, rationalism, and scepticism, and links Plato, Descartes, Hume, and Kant with current philosophy.
«Introdução à Teoria do Conhecimento» belongs to Gradiva's Filosofia Aberta collection (no. 24); the Portuguese edition was published in 2013.
An accessible work for philosophy students and teachers, as well as for anyone interested in debates about knowledge, even without prior philosophical training.
Daniel Hosler O'Brien is an American author, wildlife biologist, and rancher.
