The goal of inquiry is to acquire knowledge of truths about the world. In this book, Jason Stanley argues that knowing how to do something amounts to knowing a truth about the world. When you learned how to swim, what happened is that you learned some truths about swimming. Knowledge of these truths is what gave you knowledge of how to swim. Something similar occurred with every other activity that you now know how to do, such as riding a bicy...

Ebreo americano, figlio di rifugiati europei scampati alla Seconda guerra mondiale, Jason Stanley parte da uno spunto autobiografico per porsi una domanda cruciale: perché la logica del «Noi contro Loro», alla base di tutti gli autoritarismi, è diventata non soltanto il segno distintivo della politica dei fascismi europei degli anni Trenta, ma anche un concetto così seducente nelle democrazie liberali in ogni parte del mondo?

It is our success as inquirers that explains our capacity for skilful engagement with the world.

Jason Stanley presents a startling and provocative claim about knowledge: that whether or not someone knows a proposition at a given time is in part determined by his or her practical interests, i.e. by how much is at stake for that person at that time.
