Comparative epistemology is the discipline that tries to assess, in
a critical manner, the relative validity and value of various forms
of knowledge. We tend to identify real knowledge of nature with
science. Yet, science is not the only route to understanding and
unlocking the truth about nature. Literature based on careful,
true-to-life observations can also tell us much about nature as
well.This volume presents a series of case studies in comparative
epistemology, critically comparing the works of prominent
representatives of the life sciences, such as Aristotle, Darwin,
and Mendel, with the writings of literary masters, such as
Andersen, Melville, Verne, and Ibsen. The author shows how both
scientific and literary disciplines make valid contributions to our
understanding of nature.
