Evidence And Inquiry by Susan Haack

Towards Reconstruction in Epistemology

"Evidence and Inquiry" explores the philosophy of science and epistemology, particularly focusing on the concept of evidence and how it supports inquiry and knowledge. The book critiques the existing models of justification and truth, such as foundationalism and coherentism, and introduces the author's own theory, known as foundherentism, which attempts to synthesize elements of the previous models into a more cohesive framework. This theory posits that knowledge is both coherent and founded on empirical evidence, thus aiming to bridge the gap between rationalist and empiricist theories of knowledge. The work challenges traditional views by proposing a more dynamic and integrative approach to understanding how evidence functions in scientific inquiry and everyday knowledge acquisition.
