Philosophy: metaScience & Technology

Hardcover. How can human beings, who are liable to error, possess knowledge, since the grounds on which we believe do not rule out that we are wrong? Andrea Kern argues that we can disarm this skeptical doubt by conceiving knowledge as an act of a ratio-nal capacity. In this book, she develops a metaphysics of the mind as existing through knowledge of itself. Num Pages: 280 pages. BIC Classification: HPJ; HPK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 166 x 244 x 27. Weight in Grams: 586.
