Source cover or paper first page: Epistemic Friction: An Essay on Knowledge, Truth, and Logic

Gila Sher argues that knowledge requires both constraints from reality and active intellectual participation.

She calls these complementary requirements epistemic friction and epistemic freedom.

Her foundational holism seeks to ground knowledge in both the world and the mind.

The book develops an integrated account of knowledge, truth, and logic.

It defends substantive correspondence while questioning overly simple views of how truth works.
