In this clear and up-to-date introduction, Thomas D. Senor lays the philosophical foundation needed to understand the justification of memory belief. This book explores traditional accounts of the justification of memory belief and examines the resources that prominent positions in contemporary epistemology have to offer theories of the memorial justification. Along the way, epistemic conservatism, evidentialism, foundationalism, phenomenal conservatism, reliabilism, and preservationism all feature.

Study Questions and annotated Further Reading guides at the end of each chapter make this book ideal for classroom use and independent study. Written in very clear prose, A Critical Introduction to the Epistemology of Memory is a valuable resource for students approaching epistemology for the first time or those looking to advance their understanding of a core area of philosophy.

Industry Reviews

This is a must-read for everyone with an interest in the epistemology of memory. Employing admirably clear prose, Senor does a masterful job of presenting the leading accounts of the justification of memory belief in an accessible manner. The book is an important contribution to the philosophy of memory and will undoubtedly shape teaching and research in the area for many years to come. * Kourken Michaelian, Professor of Philosophy, Universite Grenoble Alpes, France *
Thomas Senor advances epistemology with a subtle but lucidly defended treatment of the nature of justified belief, centered on memory's role in belief formation and preservation. He pinpoints key problems, confronting such views as epistemic conservativism, foundationalism, and evidentialism, and finally pinpoints process reliabilism as the most defensible approach. * Alvin Goldman, Board of Governors Professor of Philosophy, Rutgers University, USA *
