Description
Introduction to Plausible Reasoning by Douglas McManaman provides an accessible introduction to the theory of plausible reasoning according to Nicholas Rescher's thought. This book explores the evolutionary nature of knowledge acquisition, the limitations of human knowing, and the reasons why achieving knowledge is not as easy as often believed. It aims to offer a logical basis for approaching knowledge claims with a reasonable degree of epistemic humility. Suitable for those interested in plausibility theory and its implications for knowledge, this book offers a concise and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of knowledge and how it can be acquired.
