The course thereby builds on the first year course Knowledge, Justification and Doubt and the second year course Theory of Knowledge, though neither course is a pre-requisite since the first three weeks, or six lectures, give a general introduction to epistemology. Thereafter each week focuses on an influential article in epistemology; the first lecture outlines the background to the article and second gives a detailed account of the article, and the week concludes with a seminar discussing the article and its place in epistemological theory.
