This volume contains contributions to the "systematic study of knowledge." They suggest both an extension and a new path for classical epistemology. The topics in the second volume are the following: variants of skepticism; knowledge of the first, second, and third person; practical knowledge and the structure of action; knowledge and the problem of dualism; and disjunctivism concerning experience and perception.

This volume contains contributions to the "systematic study of knowledge." They suggest both an extension and a new path for classical epistemology. The topics in the first volume are the following: concepts and forms of knowledge, epistemic perspectivism, knowledge and world-views, perceptual knowledge, scientific knowledge, models in science, distributed and integrated knowledge, interaction of forms of knowledge, and relation between forms of knowledge and forms of representation.

Nietzsche s philosophical analysis of our culture has had more consequences than most others. In these writings Nietzsche focused his attention particularly on the validity and effect of scientific endeavour. Science in its classical sense encompassing natural and social sciences, philosophy and the arts is seen as a cultural discipline central to modern human life, but one that is problematic and has far-reaching consequences. This volume is the first to bring together Nietzsche scholars and philosophers of science from all over the world to focus upon the problem of science."

Ever since the onset of the modern era, the relationships between knowledge, the sciences, technology, and the life world have continually increased in importance. Authors from various disciplines (philosophy, history of science and technology) address topics from knowledge and sciences, basic patterns of thought from the early modern period through German idealism, and modern technologies. Tracing the historical developments involved, they reveal the challenges humans must grapple with today.
