Understanding Knowledge (Michael Huemer)

Why it’s on the list: Huemer’s introduction to epistemology — what knowledge is, where it comes from, and what to do about peer disagreement.

Where I saw it: A reply to @SpencrGreenberg’s question on X, June 5, 2025 — “What non-fiction book taught you the most about how the world really works?” — recovered from that thread and saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Books To Read”. Thread: https://x.com/spencrgreenberg/status/1930639380424577198

Suffixed with the author because the bare title is generic. Page count not verified — the field is omitted.
