Description

Book Synopsis
A new analysis of the occurrence, causality, and consequences of error in human thought, action, and evaluation. Defines three main categories of error, and provides a historical perspective on error from Greek to modern philosophy.

Trade Review
Rescher's style is very straightforward and focuses closely on the [philosophical] arguments. There is no question that this author defends theses that are both clear and metaphysically solid. Reading this book is a real pleasure. - Estudios Filisoficos ""This book offers an interesting new interpretation and synthesis of familiar and disparate material about error. I know of no other work like it. It will interest not just specialists, but also general readers."" - Alan Musgrave, University of Otago ""A fascinating and challenging book. Rescher has taken a much neglected and overlooked idea and placed it at the heart of cognition."" - Frederick Rosen, University College London
