Fear of knowledge, against relativism and constructivism – by Paul Artin Boghossian
Dialectica 63 (3):357-360 (2009)
Abstract
My review of Boghossian's book, Fear of Knowledge, is generally sympathetic toward his rejection of epistemic relativism and turns toward an examination of "constructivist" themes in light of an anti-nominalist perspective. In general terms, this is a fine little book, tightly argued, and well worth considerable attention--especially from the friends of relativism and those supporting versions of constructivism. (Constructivism + radical nominalism = relativism.).Author's Profile
