Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 2010. xii, 274pp. Some rubbing to top of unclipped dust jacket spine. Both the book and unclipped dust jacket are otherwise in excellent condition with no inscriptions, and all contents are tight and clean. "The Nature and Value of Knowledge is an excellent book for those interested in either topic mentioned in the title. As one would expect, the issues of the nature and value of knowledge are deeply intertwined, and all three investigations undertaken in the book respect this fact. Indeed, each author has much original to say about both. What makes this book truly unique is that it is focused on two closely related topics, yet at the same time it encompasses a multiplicity of perspectives, in terms of philosophical method, substance and style. Anyone interested specifically in the issue of the value of knowledge would do well to read it. It's an added bonus that there are worthy contributions to the much larger literature on the nature of knowledge as well.". Seller Inventory # Phil119

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This volume comprises three distinct investigations into the relationship between the nature and the value of knowledge. Each is written by one of the authors in consultation with the other two. 'Knowledge and Understanding' (by Duncan Pritchard) critically examines virtue-theoretic responses to the problem of the value of knowledge, and argues that the finally valuable cognitive state is not knowledge but understanding. 'Knowledge and Recognition' (by Alan Millar)develops an account of knowledge in which the idea of a recognitional ability plays a prominent role, and argues that this account enables us better to understand knowledge and its value. 'Knowledgeand Action' (by Adrian Haddock) argues for an account of knowledge and justification which explains why knowledge is valuable, and enables us to make sense of the knowledge we have of our intentional actions. This volume comprises three distinct investigations into the relationship between the nature and the value of knowledge. The three sections look at 'Knowledge and Understanding', 'Knowledge and Recognition', and 'Knowledge and Action'. Each section is written by one of the authors in consultation with the other two.
