In the past thirty years, epistemology has been one of the fastest moving disciplines in philosophy. The reason for the rapid advancements is partly due to the fact that various schools and movements inside epistemology have developed different answers to classical epistemological problems, and partly due to the fact that formal methods from logic, probability theory, and computability have been utilized to deal with many of the same issues and used for applications outside traditional epistemology. "New Waves in Epistemology" reflects this fast development, letting a new generation of scholars both describe the current trends in mainstream and formal epistemology and discuss the prospects of epistemology in the decades to come.
