Teaching Theory of Knowledge

PREFACE

 

     This document grew out of the work of the 1986 Summer Institute on Theory of Knowledge, sponsored by the Council for Philosophical Studies and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Many individuals and institutions contributed to the success of this Summer Institute, but the Council's main debt of gratitude is owed Alvin Goldman and Keith Lehrer for their intellectual and organizational leadership. I want to express my personal appreciation for a job well done and for the exceptionally cooperative attitude they brought to the solving of sometimes complex administrative problems. The Council also appreciates the contributions of the other staff members of the Institute

      The Council wishes to gratefully acknowledge the contribution of the staff and participants to the production of this document, which will allow us to disseminate the results of the Institute to a much larger audience. A very special acknowledgement is due Marjorie Clay, who not only edited the volume but also produced the camera-ready copy.

      The Council wishes to acknowledge with gratitude the continuing support of Council projects provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities. This particular project was funded under grant number EH20572-85.

      This document is provided without charge so the work of the Institute on Theory of Knowledge will be available to a wider audience. Those receiving the document are encouraged to share it with their colleagues. Additional copies may be obtained by writing to the Council, 203 Dodd Hall, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306. Jules Coleman is the new Executive Secretary of the Council and he should be contacted regarding any other Council matters at the School of Law, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520.
