Title from title screen.Title from website (viewed Jan. 20, 2006).Reasoning about knowledge--particularly the knowledge of agents who reason about the world and each other's knowledge--was once the exclusive province of philosophers and puzzle solvers.

Real natures and familiar objects
"A Bradford book."In Real Natures and Familiar Objects Crawford Elder defends, with qualifications, the ontology of common sense. He argues that we exist--that no gloss is necessary for the statement "human beings exist" to show that it is true of the world as it really is--and that we are surrounded by many of the medium-sized objects in which common sense believes. He argues further that thes…

Without justification
"A Bradford book."In the contentious debate among contemporary epistemologists and philosophers regarding justification, there is one consensus: justification is distinct from knowledge; there are justified beliefs that do not amount to knowledge, even if all instances of knowledge are instances of justified belief. In Without Justification, Jonathan Sutton forcefully opposes this claim. He pro…

Interpreting Art
How do people make sense of works of art? And how do they write to make others see the same way? There are many guides to looking at art, histories of art history and art criticism, and accounts of various ‘theories’ and ‘methods’, but this book offers something very unlike the normal search for difference and division: it examines the general and largely unspoken norms shared by interp…
