Books by Albert (Professor of Philosophy Casullo

The past twenty-five years have seen a major renewal of interest in the topic of a priori knowledge. In the sixteen essays collected here, which span this entire period, philosopher Albert Casullo documents the complex set of issues motivating the renewed interest, identifies the central epistemological questions, and provides the leading ideas of a unified response to them.

The topic of a priori knowledge is central to analytic philosophy. It was introduced by Kant in his seminal work "Critique of Pure Reason" and vigorously dismissed by Quine in "Two Dogmas of Empiricism", resulting in an epistemological controversy. This work addresses questions that have, since Kant, formed the core of the debate.
