Summary

Oxford Studies in Epistemology is a periodical publication which offers a regular snapshot of state-of-the-art work in this important field. Under the guidance of a distinguished editorial board composed of leading philosophers in North America, Europe, and Australasia, it publishes exemplary papers in epistemology, broadly construed. Topics within its purview include:

- traditional epistemological questions concerning the nature of belief, justification, and knowledge, the status of scepticism, the nature of the a priori, etc;
- new developments in epistemology, including movements such as naturalized epistemology, feminist epistemology, social epistemology, and virtue epistemology, and approaches such as contextualism;
- foundational questions in decision-theory;
- confirmation theory and other branches of philosophy of science that bear on traditional issues in epistemology;
- topics in the philosophy of perception relevant to epistemology;
- topics in cognitive science, computer science, developmental, cognitive, and social psychology that bear directly on traditional epistemological questions;
- work that examines connections between epistemology and other branches of philosophy, including work on testimony and the ethics of belief.
