Publisher Synopsis
"The book on Susan Haack's philosophy is a welcome achievement in a grand tradition, as in the series of volumes of 'The Library of Living Philosophers.' Here, too, the multifaceted contributions by a distinguished philosopher are analyzed in turn by nearly a score of feisty scholars, each of whom then is answered by Susan Haack's illuminating reply. Altogether, a feast."<br>GERALD HOLTON<br>Mallinckrodt Research Professor of Physics<br>Research Professor of History of Science, Harvard University<br>Author of Thematic Origins of Scientific Thought: Kepler to Einstein<br>and Science and Anti-Science<br><br>"As is well known, Susan Haack combines the fullest technical professionalism in philosophy with a commitment to vigorous participation in debate on large public issues. Her special gift is her ability to bring the former to bear on the latter. This well-conceived collection brings out the force and energy of her thinking."<br>LORD ANTHONY QUINTON<br>Former President of Trinity College, Oxford<br>Former Chairman of the British Library Board and the author of Hume Read more...
