Externalism, Self-Knowledge, and Skepticism

Sanford C. Goldberg is Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at Northwestern University, Illinois. His publications include Anti-Individualism (Cambridge, 2007), Relying on Others: An Essay in Epistemology (2010), and Assertion: On the Philosophical Significance of Assertoric Speech (2015).

'This is a truly exciting collection of essays on a fundamental topic lying at the intersection of philosophy of mind and epistemology. The essays are of uniformly high quality, and Goldberg's introduction sets out the critical issues in a wonderfully clear and succinct manner.' Richard Fumerton, University of Iowa
