The academic world has been plagued in recent years by scepticism about truth and knowledge. Paul Boghossian, in his long-awaited first book, sweeps away relativist claims that there is no such thing as objective truth or knowledge, but only truth or knowledge from a particular perspective. He demonstrates clearly that such claims don't even make sense. Boghossian focuses on three different ways of reading the claim that knowledge is socially constructed - one as a thesis about truth and two about justification. And he rejects all three. The intuitive, common-sense view is that there is a way things are that is independent of human opinion, and that we are capable of arriving at belief about how things are that is objectively reasonable, binding on anyone capable of appreciating the relevant evidence regardless of their social or cultural perspective. Difficult as these notions may be, it is a mistake to think that recent philosophy has uncovered powerful reasons for rejecting them. This short, lucid, witty book shows that philosophy provides rock-solid support for common sense against the relativists; it will prove provocative reading throughout the discipline and beyond.

這是一本有點另類的哲學書。學院哲學的專著往往艱深專門,這本小書卻力求深入淺齣。分析哲學傢幾乎不談後現代,博格西昂卻認認真真地討論瞭後現代思潮的核心:相對主義和建構主義。這本書居然還很受歡迎,不但在學界內部討論甚多,而且齣版不到十年,已經被翻譯成瞭意...
評分首先是被書名所吸引,作者提齣的問題也非常有價值。對於建構主義,從最初的驚訝,到中間的認同,再到現在試圖進行反思,這本書恰好符閤瞭我的節奏。可以說作者還是很有野心的,試圖對“知識是社會建構”的觀點進行全麵反思,並指齣在因果性(前後序列)、概念能力和異見問題上...
