This obligation to \"know well\" is what philosophers have termed \"epistemic responsibility.\" In this innovative and eclectic study, Lorraine Code explores the possibilities inherent in this concept as a basis for understanding human attempts to know and understand the world and for discerning the nature of intellectual virtue. By focusing on the idea that knowing is a creative process guided by imperatives of epistemic responsibility, Code provides a fresh perspective on the theory of knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom this new perspective, Code poses questions about knowledge that have a different focus from those traditionally raised in the two leading epistemological theories, foundationalism and coherentism. While not rejecting these approaches, this new position moves away from a primary concentration on determinate products and towards an examination of ever-changing processes. Arguing that knowledge never exists as an ungrounded abstraction but rather emerges through dialogue between variously authoritative \"knowers\" situated within particular social and historical contexts, she draws extensively on examples from lived social experience to illustrate the ways in which human beings have long tried to recognize and meet their epistemic responsibilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition of \u003ci\u003eEpistemic Responsibility\u003c\/i\u003e includes a new preface from Lorraine Code.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLorraine Code\u003c\/b\u003e is Distinguished Research Professor Emerita of Philosophy at York University, Canada.
