Re-Engineering Philosophy for Limited Beings
Piecewise Approximations to Reality
William C. Wimsatt
"Re-Engineering Philosophy for Limited Beings" by William C. Wimsatt is an intellectual tour of essays spanning thirty years, offering a philosophy for error-prone humans trying to understand messy systems in the real world. Wimsatt argues that our philosophy should be rooted in heuristics and models that work in practice, not only in principle, and offers new perspectives to deal with emerging natural and social complexities. This book offers a refreshing alternative to simplistic reductionism, demonstrating how to recalibrate our reductionistic and analytic methodologies for a transfigured philosophy."
