Description

First published in 1978 and reissued by Routledge, this seminal philosophical work by Professor Putnam challenges conventional boundaries between knowledge and non-knowledge. Putnam argues that ethics, practical knowledge, and non-mathematical aspects of social sciences deserve equal standing with traditional sciences, rejecting the notion that adherence to 'the scientific method' alone distinguishes knowledge from non-knowledge. Based on his John Locke lectures delivered at the University of Oxford in 1976, this book provides a detailed examination of knowledge's nature and scope. It remains a foundational text for philosophers, academics, and students interested in the philosophy of science, ethics, and the epistemological status of the social sciences. The Routledge Revivals edition makes this influential work accessible to contemporary readers exploring the intersection of moral reasoning and scientific inquiry.
