How to Know : A Practicalist Conception of Knowledge Hardback
by Stephen (University of New South Wales, Australia) Hetherington
Hardback
Description
Some key aspects of contemporary epistemology deserve to be challenged, and How to Know does just that.
This book argues that several long-standing presumptions at the heart of the standard analytic conception of knowledge are false, and defends an alternative, a practicalist conception of knowledge. Presents a philosophically original conception of knowledge, at odds with some central tenets of analytic epistemologyOffers a dissolution of epistemology's infamous Gettier problem - explaining why the supposed problem was never really a problem in the first place. Defends an unorthodox conception of the relationship between knowledge-that and knowledge-how, understanding knowledge-that as a kind of knowledge-how.
