Abstract

Reprints some well-known articles, some new translations and some hitherto unprinted articles by F. H. Parker and Y. Simon. In all, 22 contemporary authors are presented in a way which manages to cover most of the problems in epistemology. The selection tends to favor realism, but other views are ably represented by such authors as Perry, Wisdom, Lewis and Cassirer. This book could be used as a text in courses on knowledge theory or as an introduction to contemporary philosophy.-- D. D. O.
