Sumario:The prime intent of this work is one of innovation. Nicholas Rescher addresses issues that are under-examined in the present state of discussion, their inherent interest notwithstanding. The linking thread of these investigations is their pragmatic dimension, inherent in the idea that rational inquiry is itself a practice - albeit one that functions in the ideationally cognitive rather than physically manipulative realm. As a practice, it has its aims and functions that in their turn provide for the standards of adequacy and efficacy that establish the criteriological norms of our cognitive proceedings. Written for students and scholars of philosophy and of information theory.
