Description:
In The Cognitivity Paradox, John Lange—Associate Professor of Philosophy at Queens College (CUNY)—grapples with one of philosophy’s most enduring questions: can philosophy truly yield knowledge? With incisive analysis, Lange examines philosophical theses, disagreement, and the paradox at the heart of philosophy’s claim to cognition.Praised by Walter Kaufmann for its “sharp and interesting criticisms of widely held views,” this book presents a refreshingly unorthodox style, free of unnecessary padding, and challenges assumptions about truth, knowledge, and philosophical inquiry.
Published as part of the prestigious Princeton Paperbacks series, this first edition remains a sought-after work in philosophy of knowledge and analytic philosophy. A must-have for collectors of mid-century philosophy, epistemology, or Princeton University Press classics.
