About this title

Synopsis

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.

About the Author

Robert F. Almeder, Professor of Philosophy at Georgia State University, has written widely on epistemology and philosophy of science, including The Philosophy of Charles S. Peirce: A Critical Introduction (Rowman & Littlefield, 1980).
