Product Description
Review
"Gilbert Harman argues stoutly that 'there is no clearly significant way in which logic is specialty relevant to reasoning' . . . . This is an immensely sharp-witted book."- Martin Hollis, "Times Literary Supplement"
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Change in View offers an entirely original approach to the philosophical study of reasoning by identifying principles of reasoning with principles for revising one's beliefs and intentions and not with principles of logic.

Worth reading, but there are good alternatives...
3 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback
Change in View is generally recorded as the exemplary expression of the explanatory coherence theory of justification. It is a fine book, though perhaps other explanatory coherentist texts are more worthy of this title. In terms of clarity and effectiveness of writing, I prefer Lycan's Judgement and Justification; rigor, Jay Rosenberg's One World and Our Knowledge of It; applicability to science, Paul Thagard's Conceptual Revolutions. Harman is a first rate philosopher, though perhaps the least engaging writer of those just mentioned, all of whom are also first rate philosophers. If Harman's book has an advantage over these other texts, it is perhaps that it manages to be slightly more rigorous than Lycan's book, but more accessible than Rosenberg's. In general, I would recommend any of these books only to those fairly well-read in epistemology.
