Description: "Philosophers have often thought that concepts such as "knowledge" and "truth" are appropriate objects for theoretical investigation. In a discussion which ranges widely over recent analytical philosophy and radical theory, Philosophy and its Epistemic Neuroses takes issue with this assumption, arguing that such theoreticism is not the solution but the source of traditional problems in epistemology (How can we have knowledge of the world around us? How can we have knowledge of other minds and cultures?

How can we have knowledge of ourselves?) and in the philosophy of language (How can we know what our words refer to?)."--BOOK JACKET.
