{"product_id":"tracking-truth-sherrilyn-roush-9780199274734","title":"Tracking Truth: Knowledge, Evidence, and Science","description":"Sherrilyn Roush defends a new theory of knowledge and evidence, based on the idea of \"tracking\" the truth, as the best approach to a wide range of questions about knowledge-related phenomena. The theory explains, for example, why scepticism is frustrating, why knowledge is power, and why better evidence makes you more likely to have knowledge. \u003cem\u003eTracking Truth\u003c\/em\u003e provides a unification of the concepts of knowledge and evidence, and argues against traditional epistemological realist and anti-realist positions about scientific theories and for a piecemeal approach based on a criterion of evidence, a position Roush calls \"real anti-realism.\" Epistemologists and philosophers of science will recognize this as a significant original contribution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sherrilyn Roush\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199274738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199274734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.40w x 0.78d","brand":"Sherrilyn Roush","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47304752922879,"sku":"9780199274734","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1eb4e0f-edc1-491d-a86f-3c367fdd7765.jpg?v=1758829065","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tracking-truth-sherrilyn-roush-9780199274734","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
