And epistemic pragmatism accordingly focuses on the utility of our devices and practices in relation to the aims and purposes of the cognitive enterprise-answering questions, resolving puzzlement, guiding action. The present book revolves around this theme. All papers in this book bear on epistemological topics which have preoccupied Nicholas Rescher for many years. Much as with the thematic structure of this book, this interest expanded from an initial concern with the exact sciences, to encompass the epistemology of the human sciences, and ultimately the epistemology of philosophy itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Epistemic Pragmatism  Chapter 2: Linguistic Pragmatism  Chapter 3: On Cognitive Finitude and Limitations  Chapter 4: On Cognitive Economics  Chapter 5: The Uneasy Union of Ideality and Pragmatism in Inquiry  Chapter 6: On Inconsistency and Provisional Acceptance  Chapter 7: On Realism and the Problem of Transparent Facts  Chapter 8: On Fallacies of Aggregation  Chapter 9: Leibniz and the Conditions of Identity  Chapter 10: Worldly Woes: The Trouble with Possible Worlds  Chapter 11: Trigraphs: A Resource for Illustration In Philosophy  Chapter 12: Fragmentation and Disintegration in Philosophy  (Its Grounds and it Implications)","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516475466071,"sku":"9783110318920","price":87.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/epistemic-pragmatism-and-other-studies-in-the-theory-of-knowledge-9783110318920","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
