Knowing and Seeing: Groundwork for a New Empiricism
Oxford, United Kingdom: Oxford University Press (2019)
Abstract
What is knowledge? What, if anything, can we know? Michael Ayers initiates a fresh approach to these questions by recovering the insight in the distinction between 'knowledge' and 'belief' that was common philosophical currency for two millennia after Plato. He argues that knowledge comes only with direct cognitive contact with reality or truth.
