As notions of postmodernism and deconstruction have become exceedingly fashionable, scholars have attempted to remake epistemology as a subjectivist enterprise. This book deplores this state of affairs and attempts to correct it by reviving rational metaphysics as well as some of the ideas of the Vienna circle.

Recent scholars have attempted to remake epistemology as a purely subjectivist enterprise. Elie Zahar argues convincingly that rational metaphysics is both relevant and crucial to scientific research and discovery, and presents case studies on the development of the atomic theory and Einstein’s philosophy of science to support his contention.
