This volume presents a series of essays on the nature of intellectual inquiry: what its aims are and how it operates. Isaac Levi draws upon the work of the American Pragmatists C. S. Peirce and John Dewey to investigate what justifies change in belief.
This book will be of particular interest to discussion theorists, epistemologists, philosophers of science, computer scientists and cognitive psychologists.
This book explores the consequences of denying the assumption and develops a general approach to decision making under unresolved conflict. Professor Levi discusses conflicts of value in several domains--those arising in moral dilemmas, the drawing of scientific inferences, decisions taken under uncertainty, and social choice.
