The acquisition of knowledge is not a single unrelated occasion but
rather an adaptive process in which past acquisitions modify
present and future ones. In Part I of this essay in epistemology it
is argued that coping with knowledge is not a passive affair but
dynamic and active, involving its continuance into the stages of
assimilation and deployment. In Part II a number of specific issues
are raised and discussed in order to explore the dimensions and the
depths of the workings of adaptive knowing. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
