Is knowledge produced by rational individuals struggling mightily to unearth the objective facts? Or is it a wholly social product, reflecting interests and social structures, divorced from the world? It is a bit of each-but the trick is to integrate the rational and the social into a seamless whole. This splendid volume goes a very long way in generating a unified outlook. -- James Robert Brown, University of Toronto
The topic is novel and important, the set of authors outstanding, the collection coherent. An excellent book. -- Ernest Sosa, Brown University
Superb editing and an unusual number of high-quality contributions make this an excellent introduction to the subject. I enthusiastically recommend it. -- Andrew P. Norman * Ethics: An International Journal of Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy *
. . . this is a very useful volume, filling a gap in epistemological analysis . . . the articles go considerable distance in suggesting lines of inquiry for gaining a fuller understanding of knowledge as having both individual and social aspects. * International Studies in the Philosophy of Science *
This collection points to many new research areas in epistemology and will give the reader a feel for the excitement surrounding epistemology in its new naturalistic guise. * CHOICE *
