EVIDENCE AND INQUIRY

One of the most prestigious living philosophers, Haack (philosophy and law, U. o
f Miami) challenges the rivalry between foundationalism and coherentism as simpl
y one more epistemological dualism, and suggests an intermediate approach to epi
stemology that recognizes a less-than-absolute contribution of both individual e
xperience and mutual support in constructing and verifying knowledge. She has co
rrected but not substantially revised the 1993 first edition, though in her pref
ace she does explain some of the references that she thought were pan-anglophone
but turned out to be British.
