Description
On Certainty continues Rescher’s longstanding practice of publishing occasional studies that form part of a wider program of investigation concerning the scope and limits of rational inquiry in the pursuit of understanding. Pragmatism forms a sub-textual leitmotif of these essays, seeing that the linking idea at work throughout is that knowledge is a tool for the management of our theoretical and practical affairs, and that what we ask of it is serviceability for the uses we have in view.
