Originally published in 1986. The clash between orthodox empiricism and a pragmatism inspired by Wittgenstein, William James, Thomas Kuhn and John Wisdom forms the background to the argument in this book. It shows how the theory of knowledge can be shaped around our actions without sacrificing reason's control over our beliefs.
