What is a Digital Publication?
Abstract
Over the past forty years Nicholas Rescher has carried on a series of investigations on epistemology which have issued in some dozen books ranging from Hypothetical Reasoning (1964) to Epistemetrics (2006)—as well as various articles on particular issues and problems. Ten of these are gathered together in the present volume, and combine to provide a panoramic overview of the methods and results of his work in the field.
