Overview

In relation to the problems faced today, in contemplation and in practical affairs, philosophers must confront the question ""What is knowledge?"", and consider whether knowledge has lost its object. The 17 papers derived from the lectures and discussions at the Ankara seminar deal with problems of: knowing and believing; the kinds and criteria of knowledge; truth and fallibility; and the cultural, as well as individual factors, in cognition. The authors include GuidoKung, L. Jonathan Cohen, Ernest Sosa, Arda Denkel, Venant Cauchy, David Evans, Gurol Irzik, Ioanna Kucuradi, Evandro Agazzi, Richard T. DeGeorge, Kwasi Wiredu, Teo Grunberg, H. Odera Oruka, Jindrich Zeleny, V.A. Keltorsky, Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and Francisco Miro Quesada.
