Book Description
Being Known is a response to a philosophical challenge which arises for every area of thought: to reconcile a plausible account of what is involved in the truth of statements in a given area with a credible account of how we can know those statements. Christopher Peacocke presents a framework for addressing the challenge, a framework which links both the theory of knowledge and the theory of truth with the theory of concept-possession.
Review
"A significant contribution to a challenging area of philosophy" -- Jose Luis Bermudez, Philosophical Psychology
`Peacocke's book deserves admiration both for its bold architectonic and for its subtle treatments of numerous special topics.' -- Mind, vol. 110, no. 440
`impressively crafted forays into metaphysics, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of logic. This kind of work, however, inevitably invites different readers to pick different fruits. There are many nourishing fruits here that are ripe for picking, not just this season but for many seasons to come.' -- Mind, vol. 110, no. 440
