Alston taken from a body of work spanning almost two decades. They represent the gradual development of Alston's thought in epistemology.

More important, he develops and defends his own distinctive epistemic view throughout the volume. Notably, he argues for an account of justification that combines both internalist and externalist features. In addition, he discusses various forms of foundationalism and supports a moderate form.

This collection is long overdue."—Richard Foley, University of Notre Dame 08 "William P. Alston is one of a handful of people who have helped define the field of epistemology over the past decade or more. Nobody working in the field ca afford to ignore his views."—George S.
