Dr. Patrick Grim, Dr. Nicholas Rescher

Gebundenes Buch

Theory of Categories

Key Instruments of Human Understanding

Beschreibung

This book offers a revisionist approach to categories, arguing that the standard philosophical approach is substantially correct in some respects, but markedly mistaken in others. The result is a distinctly pragmatic approach to categories and categorization, with implications regarding philosophical problematic and paradox in philosophy of mind, epistemology and metaphysics, philosophy of science, social philosophy and ethics.

Autor

Patrick Grim is known for wide-ranging research both within philosophy and beyond. This is his third collaborative volume with Nicholas Rescher. Nicholas Rescher, philosopher and polymath, is well known for a prodigious publishing career. A consistent focus in Rescher's work is the dialectical tension between our synoptic aspirations for useful knowledge and our human limitations as finite inquirers.
