Theories of Knowledge, Absolutism, Pragmatism, Realism

By Leslie Joseph Walker

Book Overview

Walker examines three different theories of knowledge: absolutism, which holds that knowledge is objective and universal; pragmatism, which holds that knowledge is based on practical experience and subject to revision; and realism, which holds that knowledge is a combination of objective and subjective factors. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from Plato to William James, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the major theories of knowledge.
