Bertrand Russell famously distinguished between 'knowledge by
acquaintance' and 'knowledge by description'. For much of the
latter half of the twentieth century, many philosophers viewed the
notion of acquaintance with suspicion, associating it with
Russellian ideas that they would wish to reject. However in the
past decade or two the concept has undergone a striking revival in
mainstream 'analytic' philosophy-acquaintance is, it seems,
respectable again. This volume showcases the great variety of
topics in philosophy of mind, epistemology, and philosophy of
language for which philosophers are currently employing the notion
of acquaintance. It is the first collection of new essays devoted
to the topic of acquaintance, featuring chapters from many of the
world's leading experts in this area. Opening with an extensive
introductory essay, which provides some historical background and
summarizes the main debates and issues concerning acquaintance, the
remaining thirteen contributions are grouped thematically into four
sections: phenomenal consciousness, perceptual experience,
reference, and epistemology.
