This book presents a nonstandard approach to epistemology. Where
standard epistemology generally focuses on the certain knowledge
the Greeks called episteme, the present focus is on some less
assured modes of information. Its deliberations will focus on such
cognitively suboptimal processes as conjecture, guesswork, and
plausible supposition. This shift of focus has implications for
virtually every sector of information management, and the book's
instigations presented here will explore some of them. Throughout
the rule of pragmatic considerations stand in the foreground.As the
book's deliberations set out in detail, the nature of our knowledge
of reality is inherently conditioned by the fact of its beings the
product of what is, at best and at most, a matter of rational
guesswork. And so as regards our knowledge, we had best adopt the
pragmatic optimism of expecting-and hoping-that our best is good
enough.
