EVIDENCE AND
INQUIRY
Towards Reconstruction in Epistemology
SUSAN HAACK
"Students of literature stand to learn a great deal from Haack's superb book, which
should be read carefully by anyone with a serious interest in any aspect of
epistemology....Haack has a gift for clarity, concision, and rigor....Her work stands
in sharp contrast to the bombast and carelessness characteristic of postmodernist
treatments of similar topics."
--MLN (Modern Language Notes)
"Particularly impressive is the way Haack is able efficiently to organize and insightfully
to discuss extremely complex and rich material that encompasses almost all
contemporary theories of knowledge. This alone would make her book a significant
contribution to contemporary epistemology. However, Haack proceeds further,
persuasively articulating and defending her theory, foundherentism, which no doubt
will soon spark fruitful discussion under new ground rules in epistemology."
