Is knowledge produced by rational individuals struggling mightily to unearth the objective facts? Or is it a wholly social product, reflecting interests and social structures, divorced from the world? It is a bit of each-but the trick is to integrate the rational and the social into a seamless whole. This splendid volume goes a very long way in generating a unified outlook.

James Robert Brown, University of Toronto

The topic is novel and important, the set of authors outstanding, the collection coherent. An excellent book.

Ernest Sosa, Brown University

Superb editing and an unusual number of high-quality contributions make this an excellent introduction to the subject. I enthusiastically recommend it.

Andrew P. Norman, Ethics: An International Journal of Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy

. . . this is a very useful volume, filling a gap in epistemological analysis . . . the articles go considerable distance in suggesting lines of inquiry for gaining a fuller understanding of knowledge as having both individual and social aspects.

International Studies in the Philosophy of Science

This collection points to many new research areas in epistemology and will give the reader a feel for the excitement surrounding epistemology in its new naturalistic guise.
