N. Unwin 
Aiming at Truth 

This book argues that it is not obvious what we means by saying our beliefs and assertions are ‘truth-directed’. Do we weaken our notion of a belief if we deal with radical scepticism without surrendering to idealism? This book defends a radically new ‘ecological’ model of knowledge, examining what might happen if we abandoned genuine belief.
