Publisher's Synopsis
In Volume IV of the Nature of Inquiry, the author turns from a narrow concentration on theoretical knowledge to to other forms of knowledge that are largely non-discursive in character. In particular, inchoate knowledge of concepts and of persons, both in their particularity and with regard to their group behavior, are explored. In the process, conceptual analysis, our knowledge of other minds, personalistic explanation, and the philosophical foundations of the social sciences are investigated in relation to theoretical inquiry.
