Being Known is a response to a philosophical challenge which arises for every area of thought: to reconcile a plausible account of what is involved in the truth of statements in a given area with a credible account of how we can know those statements. Christopher Peacocke presents a framework for addressing the challenge, a framework which links both the theory of knowledge and the theory of truth with the theory of concept-possession.
How can a coherent theory of truth be reconciled with a credible account of human knowledge across diverse areas of thought? Christopher Peacocke, a prominent philosopher of mind and language, addresses this fundamental epistemological challenge by constructing a unified framework. He argues that the theory of knowledge and the theory of truth are inextricably linked through the theory of concept-possession, providing a systematic approach to understanding how subjects grasp and verify truths.
