Description

These essays by a major epistemologist reconfigure philosophical projects across a wide spectrum, from mind to metaphysics, from epistemology to social power.

Several of Goldman's classic essays are included along with many newer writings.

Together these trace and continue the development of the author's unique blend of naturalism and reliabilism.

Part I defends the simulation approach to mentalistic ascription and explores the psychological mechanisms of ontological individuation.

Part II shows why epistemology needs help from cognitive science - not only to evaluate cognitive agents but also to illuminate the practices of epistemic evaluators.

Parts III and IV explain how philosophical projects can be reshaped through interchange with social science.

An epistemological study of scientific activity exploits the economic paradigm, and philosophical tools are applied to analyze power in society.
