This is a terrific book, combining encyclopedic knowledge of the developmental psychology of cognition with a deep grasp of fundamental epistemological issues. Clear, unpretentious, systematic and witty, it offers a much needed framework for understanding epistemic cognition. An important contribution. --Harvey Siegel, Professor of Philosophy, University of Miami, FL, USA David Moshman's book is a comprehensive and eloquent analysis of the construct of epistemic cognition.
