Sinopsis
What can I know? Explore the big questions that shape every decision
This thoughtful inquiry invites readers to examine how knowledge fits into daily life and personal growth. It outlines four central questions—what can I know, what ought I to do, what should I believe, and what may I hope—and explains how each one connects to practical life, ethics, and even our hopes and beliefs about reality. The book argues that thinking clearly about knowledge is a lifelong project, woven through our environment, choices, and inner will.
- Understand how personal ability, will, and environment influence what we can know
- See how knowledge unfolds from everyday questions to larger philosophical problems
- Learn why constant reflection and cautious judgment matter in science, religion, and daily life
- Discover how much of what we “know” rests on experience, habit, and shared human wisdom
Ideal for readers who want a clear, grounded look at epistemology and its relevance to living with integrity, curiosity, and responsibility.
This edition speaks to curious minds across disciplines, helping you navigate the limits and possibilities of human knowledge.

Excerpt from What Can I Know?: An Inquiry Into Truth, Its Nature, the Means of Its Attainment, and Its Relations to the Practical Life
The asking of questions, and the conscious, persistent, and deliberate search for their answers, is characteristically human. Even in the quest for the gratification of his appetites, the intellect, volitions, and tastes of man are involved in a quite different way from that which is the case with any of the lower animals. Only man makes a problem demanding thought and exciting anxiety out of the questions: "What shall I eat?" or, "What shall I drink?" or, "What shall I put on?" In answering these and all similar inquiries, he defers to customs that have established themselves, not merely in considerations of physical necessity, but also of propriety, aesthetieal gratification, find moral obligation. And these considerations are themselves the fruits of reflection, if not on the part of the individual, at least on the part of the clan, tribe, or race, to which the individual belongs.
But what is for our present purpose more important to notice, is this: It is characteristic of human reason to ask and pursue the answer of yet more abstract and deeply hidden questions.
