How to Know

Some key aspects of contemporary epistemology deserve to be challenged, and <i>How to Know</i> does just that. This book argues that several long-standing presumptions at the heart of the standard analytic conception of knowledge are false, and defends an alternative, a practicalist conception of knowledge. <ul type=”disc”> <li>Presents a philosophically original conception of knowledge, at odds with some central tenets of analytic epistemology</li> <li>Offers a dissolution of epistemology’s infamous Gettier problem — explaining why the supposed problem was never really a problem in the first place.</li> <li>Defends an unorthodox conception of the relationship between knowledge-that and knowledge-how, understanding knowledge-that as a <i>kind</i> of knowledge-how.</li> </ul>
