CG 4329: Epistemological Issues for Theology

What is the difference between knowledge & mere belief or opinion? What do we really know & how do we know it? Epistemology, the study of knowledge, is a branch of philosophy concerned with such questions. Although this course will explore a range of epistemological issues through an examination of some of the important contributions to the field (Plato, Descartes, Hume), the concentration will be on the realist (that is, Thomist) philosophy of knowledge.
