Beschreibung
Roush defends a new theory of knowledge and evidence, based on the idea of 'tracking' the truth, as the best approach to a wide range of questions about knowledge-related phenomena. She provides a unification of the concepts of knowledge and evidence, and argues against traditional realist and anti-realist positions about scientific theories.
