Description

Most current work in epistemology deals with the evaluation and justification of information already acquired. In this book, Jaakko Hintikka instead discusses the more important problem of how knowledge is acquired in the first place. His model of information-seeking is the old Socratic method of questioning, which has been generalized and brought up-to-date through the logical theory of questions and answers that he has developed. Hintikka also argues that philosophers’ quest for a definition of knowledge is ill-conceived and that the entire notion of knowledge should be replaced by the concept of information. He offers an analysis of the different meanings of the concept of information and of their interrelations. The result is a new and illuminating approach to the field of epistemology.

⭐excellent text and quick service!

⭐Ce livre de Jaakko Hintikka (1929-2015) est la dernière monographie de l’auteur. L’outil mixte constitué de GTS et de la logique IF sert d’arrière-plan (à travers la notion d’indépendance informationnelle), mais est moins présent que dans d’autres livres. Le fil directeur en est la tentative de construire une logique de la découverte, au sens des principes de la connaissance ampliative. Il traite donc de problèmes épistémologiques à partir d’une théorie de l’Enquête, thème bien connu des anglo-saxons. Il s’agit comme souvent chez Hintikka d’un recueil d’articles déjà publiés sous une première version, ou inédits.
