Description:
Hyners (philosophy, Dalhousie U., Halifax, Nova Scotia) denies that such concepts as knowledge and truth are legitimate objects for theoretical philosophical investigation. That practice, he argues, creates the problems rather than the solutions to such questions as how people can have knowledge of the world and other minds and cultures. The neuroses, he claims, are most clear in metaphysical realism, relativism, and causal theories of reference.
