John Hyman (Oxford The Queen's College)

Action, Knowledge, and Will

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

John Hyman explores central problems in philosophy of action and the theory of knowledge, and connects these areas of enquiry in a new way. His approach to the dimensions of human action culminates in an original analysis of the relation between knowledge and rational behaviour, which provides the foundation for a new theory of knowledge itself.
