Frank D. Schubert

A Modest Certainty

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Schubert squarely addresses the question of whether there is a single standard of certainty that can be applied to such disparate areas as logic, mathematics, politics, religion, familial/tribal commitments, and science. The result is a new "philosophy in a grand manner" and a powerful ethical proposal for our time.
