It brings tools from an area that has received much attention in recent years, the epistemology of inquiry. The knowledge of what things are is to be understood as resulting from successful inquiries directed at questions of the form What is x?, where x stands for a given kind of thing. The book also addresses knowledge-wh in general (which includes knowledge-who and knowledge-where), as well as the phenomenon of ignorance regarding what things are and our obligations in respect to knowing what things are. It also brings to light new avenues of research for those interested in the relation between the knowledge of what things are and concept possession and amelioration. Knowing What Things Are should be of interest to researchers in Epistemology, Philosophy of Language, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Mind, Social Philosophy and Linguistics. 001448715 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 19, 2022). 001448715 650_0 $$aKnowledge, Theory of. 001448715 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001448715 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031073649$$z9783031073649$$w(OCoLC)1313386023 001448715 830_0 $$aSynthese library ;$$vv. 466. 001448715 852__ $$bebk 001448715 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-07365-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001448715 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1448715$$pGLOBAL_SET 001448715 980__ $$aBIB 001448715 980__ $$aEBOOK 001448715 982__ $$aEbook 001448715 983__ $$aOnline 001448715 994__ $$a92$$bISE
