Bøger af Robert Almeder

In Global Warming: The Skeptic's Brief, Dr. Robert Almeder refutes the arguments of those who believe we are in a state of unprecedented global warming caused by human activities and escalating catastrophically into the next century and beyond. Analyzing the most compelling and respected research in the scientific community, Almeder shows that the extreme global warming movement lacks sufficient evidence to justify any of its central claims.

Robert Almeder provides a comprehensive discussion and definitive refutation of our common conception of truth as a necessary condition for knowledge of the world, and to defend in detail an epistemic conception of truth without falling into the usual epistemological relativism or classical idealism in which all properties of the world turn out to be linguistic in nature and origin. There is no other book available that clearly and thoroughly defends the case for an epistemic conception of truth and also claims success in avoiding idealism or epistemological relativism.

Scientific naturalism, or scientism, is the theory that science has all the answers. This book argues that not all philosophical explanations can be reduced to scientific ones. Refuting support for scientism, it suggests that reliabilist and causal theories of epistemic justification are unsound.
