In Defense of Pure Reason

A Rationalist Account of a Priori Justification
Herausgeber: Sosa, Ernest

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is concerned with the alleged capacity of the human mind to arrive at beliefs and knowledge about the world on the basis of pure reason without any dependence on sensory experience. Most recent philosophers reject the view and argue that all substantive knowledge must be sensory in origin. Author Laurence Bonjour reopens this provocative debate.
