Paul Feyerabend's \u003ci\u003eThree Dialogues on Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e resurrects the form to provide an astonishingly flexible and invigorating analysis of epistemological, ethical and metaphysical problems. He uses literary strategies - of irony, voice and distance - to make profoundly philosophical points about the epistemic, existential and political aspects of common sense and scientific knowledge. He writes about ancient and modern relativism; the authority of science; the ignorance of scientists; the nature of being; and true and false enlightenment. \u003cp\u003eThroughout \u003ci\u003eThree Dialogues on Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e is provocative, controversial and inspiring. It is, unlike most current philosophical writing, written for readers with a keen sense of what matters and why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eFirst Dialogue (1990). \u003cp\u003eSecond Dialogue (1976).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThird Dialogue (1989).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePostscript.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52511113707800,"sku":"9780631179184","price":24.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780631179184.jpg?v=1786582649","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/three-dialogues-on-knowledge-paperback-softback-9780631179184","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
