Sumario:How do ordinary people come to know or believe what they do? We need an account of this process to help explain why people act as they do. You might think I am acting irrationally--against my interest or my purpose--until you realize that what you know and what I know differ significantly.

That is the focus of this book. Russell Hardin supposes that people are not usually going to act knowingly against their interests or other.
