One of the most firmly entrenched beliefs of contemporary
philosophy is that the only way to analyze a concept is to state
its truth conditions. In epistemology this has led to the search
for reductive analyses, to phenomenalism, behaviorism, and their
analogues in other areas of knowledge. Arguing that these attempts
at reductive analysis have invariably failed, John L. Pollock
defends an alternative theory of conceptual analysis in this book.
The author suggests that concepts should be analyzed in terms of
their justification conditions rather than their truth conditions.
After laying a theoretical foundation for this alternative scheme
of analysis, Professor Pollock applies his theory in proposing
solutions to a number of traditional epistemological problems.
Among the areas of knowledge discussed are perception, knowledge of
the past, induction, knowledge of other minds, and a priori
knowledge. Originally published in 1975. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
