| Long abstract | This chapter sets out the primary argument that knowledge is interest-relative. It describes a simple kind of game, and argues that orthodox philosophical approaches to knowledge are committed to judging clearly irrational ways to play the game to be rational. It also sets out more carefully just what the interest-relative view is, and what the orthodox view it seeks to overturn is, as well as describe two other alternatives (to both interest-relativity and orthodoxy) that should be considered. |
