Gila Sher offers an original view of knowledge from the perspective of our basic human epistemic situation, as limited yet resourceful beings, trying to understand the world in all its complexity. She develops an integrated theory of knowledge, truth, and logic, centred on the idea of epistemic friction: knowledge must be constrained by the world.

Gila Sher received her B.A. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and her PhD from Columbia University (1989). She is a philosophy professor at the University of California San Diego. Her research centers on foundational issues in epistemology, the theory of truth, and the philosophy of logic. Her book, The Bounds of Logic (MIT, 1991) investigates the nature of logic through the nature of logical constants. She advocates a substantivist approach to philosophy and is interested in new perspectives on classical philosophical problems. She has published papers in leading academic journals, and is currently working on books on truth and epistemic freedom.
