Epistemic Pragmatism and Other Studies in the Theory of Knowledge

Focusing on functional efficacy, the book explores epistemic pragmatism and its utility in cognitive endeavors, such as answering questions and guiding actions. It features a collection of papers addressing various epistemological topics that have engaged Nicholas Rescher over the years. The discussion evolves from the exact sciences to the human sciences and culminates in the epistemology of philosophy itself, reflecting a comprehensive examination of how our practices serve our intellectual goals.
