Description for Aiming at Truth
Paperback. An original treatment of the question: to what extent is it either desirable or possible for what we think and say to be true? Num Pages: 258 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPCF5; HPK; HPL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
This book argues that it is not obvious what we means by saying our beliefs and assertions are 'truth-directed'. Do we weaken our notion of a belief if we deal with radical scepticism without surrendering to idealism? This book defends a radically new 'ecological' model of knowledge, examining what might happen if we abandoned genuine belief.
