This book provides an account of what is to know what things are,
focusing on kinds, both natural (such as water) and social (such as
marriage). It brings tools from an area that has received much
attention in recent years, the epistemology of inquiry. The
knowledge of what things are is to be understood as resulting from
successful inquiries directed at questions of the form 'What is
x?', where x stands for a given kind of thing. The book also
addresses knowledge-wh in general (which includes knowledge-who and
knowledge-where), as well as the phenomenon of ignorance regarding
what things are and our obligations in respect to knowing what
things are. It also brings to light new avenues of research for
those interested in the relation between the knowledge of what
things are and concept possession and amelioration. 'Knowing What
Things Are' should be of interest to researchers in Epistemology,
Philosophy of Language, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Mind, Social
Philosophy and Linguistics.
