ISBN: 0847689182 ISBN-13: 9780847689187 Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers OUR PRICE: $145.35 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: May 1998 Annotation: Modern epistemology has run into several paradoxes in its efforts to explain how knowledge acquisition can be both socially based (and thus apparently context-relative) and still able to determine objective facts about the world. In this important book, Richmond Campbell attempts to dispel some of these paradoxes, to show how they are ultimately just "illusions of paradox", by developing ideas central to two of the most promising currents in epistemology: feminist epistemology and naturalized epistemology. Campbell's aim is to construct a coherent theory of knowing that is feminist and "naturalized". Illusions of Paradox will be valuable for students and scholars of epistemology and women's studies. |
