The Reliability of the Cognitive Mechanism: A Mechanist Account of Empirical Justification
Routledge (1990)
Abstract
Originally published in 1990. Examining epistemic justification, truth and logic, this book works towards a holistic theory of knowledge. It discusses evidence, belief, reliability and many philosophical theories surrounding the nature of true knowledge. A thorough Preface updates the main work from when it was written in 1976 to include theories ascendant in the ‘80s.Author's Profile
