Rationalism, Empiricism and Pragmatism: An Introduction

by Bruce Aune

An insightful introduction to the three main currents of modern epistemology. He presents the standard arguments for each school, considers the criticisms lodge against them and how (and if) these were resolved. He definitely favors pragmatism over the other two schools but he gives Rationalism and Empiricism a good showing and has appended helpful reading lists for further study. Highly recommended.
