    Abstract
    "This book is at once a fine introduction and a significant contribution to contemporary epistemology. In addition to elaborating and persuasively defending a position of her own which adroitly steers between the Scylla of apriorism and the Charybdis of scientism, Susan Haack discusses and makes powerful and highly detailed criticism of the views of a range of contemporary philosophers - Sir Karl Popper, W.V.O. Quine, Richard Rorty, Alvin Goldman, and Paula and Patricia Churchland, among others - criticism to which these philosophers and their numerous admirers will have to reply"
