Described by Hilary Putnam as "both a fine introduction and a
significant contribution"
to epistemology, and by Anthony Quinton as "at once comprehensive
... and judicious," Evidence and Inquiry is unique both in its
scope and in its originality. C. I. Lewis's foundationalism,
BonJour's and Davidson's coherentism, Popper's critical
rationalism, Quine's naturalism, and Rorty's, Stich's, and
Churchland's anti-epistemological neopragmatism all come under
Haack's uniquely thorough critical scrutiny. Core epistemological
questions about the nature of belief, the character and structure
of evidence, the determinants of evidential quality, the relation
of justification, probability, and truth, among others, are given
refreshingly novel, and reasonable, answers.
Most books in epistemology are written only for other
epistemologists. But Evidence and Inquiry has proven of interest
not only to specialists but also to many other readers, from
thoughtful scientists to thoughtful scholars of law and literature.
This new, expanded edition--with a substantial new foreword and
several additional papers on topics ranging from feminist
epistemology to Peirce's critique of the adversarial legal system
and Bentham's critique of exclusionary rules of evidence--should
attract longtime readers and newcomers alike.
