Robert Pasnau
Reviews and Awards
"[Pasnau's] command of the historical literature--primary and secondary--is extremely impressive, especially with regards to his specialty: the medieval period. The notes in particular offer a wealth of information and provide enough substance for me to heartily recommend this book." -- Kevin Meeker, Mind
"After Certainty is two excellent epistemology books in one. This book is both an elegant argument for--and potential corrective to--that regrettable truth." -- Stephen Hetherington, Australasian Journal of Philosophy
"a stimulating, readable synopsis of more than two millennia of epistemological thought . ... [I] wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the history of epistemology" --Sydney Penner, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
