Blind Realism: An Essay on Human Knowledge and Natural Science

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers (1991)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Blind Realism originated in the deeply felt conviction that the widespread acceptance of Gettier-type counterexamples to the classical definition of knowledge rests in a demonstrably erroneous understanding of the nature of human knowledge. In seeking to defend that conviction, Robert F. Almeder offers a fairly detailed and systematic picture of the nature and limits of human factual knowledge
