UW Philosophers at Work

Gale VandeBerg Auditorium at the Pyle Center
@ 7:00 pm

This year, Professor Michael Titelbaum will present “Ways of Knowing” at 7 pm CDT on Wednesday, October 29, 2024.

How do we come to know about the world?  Can different, conflicting ways of knowing be equally valid?  If two people draw different conclusions from the same evidence, did one of them make a mistake?  Must knowledge be obtained by objective means—and what is objectivity, anyway?  Is knowledge based on numerical data necessarily superior?

This event is free and open to the public.
