Description

In this important new work, Haack develops an original theory of empirical evidence or justification, and argues its appropriateness to the goals of inquiry.

In so doing, she provides detailed critical case studies of Lewis's foundationalism; Davidson's and Bonjour's coherentism; Popper's 'epistemology without a knowing subject'; Quine's naturalism; Goldman's reliabilism; and Rorty's, Stich's, and the Churchlands' recent obituaries of epistemology.

Evidence and Inquiry is an essential read for those interested in understanding the nuances and debates surrounding theories of evidence and justification.

Susan Haack's Evidence and Inquiry is highly regarded in philosophical circles for its vibrant and insightful exploration of epistemology. The book is praised for offering a substantial critique of traditional epistemological theories, providing a synthesis that combines elements of foundationalism and coherentism into Haack's own "foundherentism." It is described as both an engaging and rigorous analysis, noted for its clear arguments and witty critiques against contemporary philosophical trends.
