Paperback. Condition: New. Co-authored by three philosophers, this ground-breaking book explores a range of new and classic questions concerning the humanities. For example, do the humanities (like the sciences) really make progress? Is there anything that unifies scholarship in the humanities, across fields as diverse as history, literary studies, philosophy, and musicology?

Does this interfere with "objective" scholarship or not?In many ways this book is the first of its kind, considering new topics such as the value of replication studies in the humanities, and deference to other humanities scholars.

Paperback. Condition: New. What does it mean to understand something? What types of understanding can be distinguished? Is understanding always provided by explanations?
