No stickers or labels visible. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA landmark work in the philosophy of knowledge, The Knower and the Known presents a rigorous and penetrating critique of the reductionist traditions that have long dominated Western epistemology. Marjorie Grene argues compellingly against the mechanistic and Cartesian frameworks that have shaped modern science and philosophy, instead championing a richer, more biologically and phenomenologically grounded understanding of human knowing. Drawing on the thought of figures such as Michael Polanyi, Aristotle, and Merleau-Ponty, the work illustrates how knowledge is always rooted in the embodied, situated perspective of a living knower rather than a detached, abstract mind. Written with intellectual rigour and philosophical depth, this text remains an essential contribution to epistemology, the philosophy of science, and the ongoing dialogue between continental and Anglo-American traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956327461083,"sku":"2026200008300-SECONDHAND","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5a7ce694-9834-409b-8dbf-8b14118cb408.png?v=1783499733","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008300-secondhand-the-knower-and-the-known","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
