Summary:
This landmark collection of essays by six renowned philosophers
explores the implications of the contentious realism/antirealism
debate for epistemology. The essays examine issues such as whether
epistemology needs to be realist, the bearing of a realist conception
of truth on epistemology, and realism and antirealism in terms of a
pragmatist conception of epistemic justification. Richard Rorty's
essay provides a critical commentary on the other five.
Notes:
"The papers in this volume stem from a conference, 'The implications
of realism and antirealism for epistemology' held at Santa Clara
University in February 1993"--Acknowledgments.
