Being Known is a response to a philosophical challenge which arises
for every area of thought. The challenge is one of reconciling our
conception of truth in an area with the means by which we think we
come to know truth about that area. Meeting the challenge may
require a revision of our conception of truth in that area; or a
revision of our theory of knowledge for that area; or a revision in
our conception of the relations between the two. Christopher
Peacocke presents a framework for addressing the challenge, a
framework which links both the theory of knowledge and the theory
of truth with the theory of concept-possession. It formulates a set
of constraints and a general form of solution for a wide range of
topics. He goes on to propose specific solutions within this
general form for a series of classically problematic subjects: the
past; metaphysical necessity; the intentional contents of our own
mental states; the self; and freedom of the will. Being Known will
interest anyone concerned with those individual topics, as well as
those concerned more generally with meaning and understanding,
metaphysics and epistemology, and their interrelations.
