Abstract

Our age is one in which we hope to preserve “reason” without overexaggerated “rationalism. ” Our epistemic stances are related to a particular social and historical context and community; the community shares this context through the functioning of a common spoken and written language and other public systems of representation and communication, such as the use of numbers, diagrams, pictures, gestures, and so on. In these are encoded the horizons of real and possible facts, networks of facts, circumstances, outcomes, and practices relevant to the “world”/ “lifeworld” and the goals of the community in question. Earlier chapters in the book have set out the biological, social, psychological, neural, and philosophical perplexities. The running theme is a sense of philosophy being continuous with science without pernicious scientism.
