Asks one of the key questions in philosophy: what is the contribution of experience of knowledge? The author uses tools from philosophical logic to show that a natural account of experience is available using the interdependence of views and perceptual judgements. He argues for a reformed empiricism that embraces experience as conditional.
Anil Gupta asks one of the key questions in philosophy: what is the contribution of experience of knowledge? Gupta develops an account of experience that allows it to inform knowledge while respecting two constraints - the contribution of experience to knowledge must be both rational and substantial. He says that these constraints cannot be met if we make the assumption that experience only aquaints us with partial truth about the world. Instead he uses tools from philosophical logic, specifically the logic of interdependent concepts, to show that a natural account of experience is available using the interdependence of views and perceptual judgements. In essence he argues for a reformed empiricism that embraces experience as conditional.
