Broadly speaking, this is a book about truth and the criteria
thereof. Thus it is, in a sense, a book about justification and
rationality. But it does not purport to be about the notion of
justification or the notion of rationality. For the assumption that
there is just one notion of justification, or just one notion of
rationality, is, as the book explains, very misleading.
Justification and rationality come in various kinds. And to that
extent, at least, we should recognize a variety of notions of
justification and rationality. This, at any rate, is one of the
morals of Chapter VI. This book, in Chapters I-V, is mainly
concerned with the kind of justification and rationality
characteristic of a truth-seeker, specifically a seeker of truth
about the world impinging upon the senses: the so-called empirical
world. Hence the book's title. But since the prominent contemporary
approaches to empirical justification are many and varied, so also
are the epistemological issues taken up in the following chapters.
For instance, there will be questions about so-called coherence and
its role, if any, in empirical justification. And there will be
questions about social consensus (whatever it is) and its
significance, or the lack thereof, to empirical justification.
Furthermore, the perennial question of whether, and if so how,
empirical knowledge has so-called founda tions will be given
special attention."
