Knowledge and Its Place in Nature

by Hilary Kornblith

Book Overview

Hilary Kornblith argues for a naturalistic approach to investigating knowledge. Knowledge, he explains, is a feature of the natural world, and so should be investigated using scientific methods. He offers an account of knowledge derived from the science of animal behavior, and defends this
against its philosophical rivals. This controversial and refreshingly original book offers philosophers a new way to do epistemology.
