Publisher's Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Gained through expertise, experiences, education or practical understanding, knowledge is the concept of known facts and information. Plato believed in knowledge as "justified true belief" and other philosophers had varying views, however no single definition or theory of knowledge has been agreed upon. This book explores the concept and theories of knowledge, and knowledge acquisition through perception, learning, and reasoning. Included are the concepts of priori and posteriori knowledge, scientific methods for obtaining knowledge, genetic epistemology and the origins of knowledge, as well as the certainty of perfect knowledge. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
