What's the Point of Knowledge?: A Function-First Epistemology
Hannon, Michael (Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, University of Nottingham)
This book is about knowledge and its value. The central hypothesis is that humans think and speak of knowing in order to identify reliable informants, which is vital for human survival, cooperation, and flourishing. This simple idea is used to answer an array of complex and consequential philosophical questions.
