Descrizione del libro

Can we justify our most basic beliefs about the nature of the world? Can there be a objective way of choosing between alternative world-views? Dr Trigg shows how philosophical analysis is relevant to these questions and criticizes the tendency to emphasize notions of commitment and convention at the expense of truth and reason.
