Good Knowledge, Bad Knowledgeis an interesting and provocative book, defending novel views about a wide range of issues in contemporary epistemology. It is written in a clear and straightforward manner, and is devoid of unnecessary technicalities. Hetherington is always clear about what he is arguing for and candid about what he thinks he has established and what he has not. I found it to be an enjoyable book to read. -- Richard Feldman,Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
