Paul Boghossian

This book provides a clear argument against the most extreme forms of social constructivism, but it might be good to have some prior knowledge of this debate. I liked the book but I was a bit disappointed in the author's apparent belief that everything in the world can be studied objectively. He embraces a naive objectivism just as fanatically as his opponents embrace a naive constructivism.

Frika prej dijes" ka fituar një Choice Award si libri më i mirë akademik i vitit 2006. Boghossian demonstron qartë se skepticizmi dhe mohimi relativist i së vërtetës objektive dhe dijes është i pakuptimtë, se filozofia ofron një logjikë të shëndoshë kundër pretendimit relativist që dija e arsyeja janë të bazuara në kulturat përkatëse apo që ato janë subjektive.

The purpose of this book is to present arguments against different forms of relativism and constructivism, which I believe the author does a good job in doing. The book is written for someone with some background in understanding philosophical arguments.

Questions:
1. Can a stake be placed in the heart of naturalized epistemology?
2. Would that not be gratifying?
3. Exactly how gratifying, with respect to normative judgments, would that be?
