Nicholas Rescher addresses issues that are under-examined in the present state of discussion, their inherent interest notwithstanding. The linking thread of these investigations is their pragmatic dimension, inherent in the idea that rational inquiry is itself a practice - albeit one that functions in the ideationally cognitive rather than physically manipulative realm. As a practice, it has its aims and functions that in their turn provide for the standards of adequacy and efficacy that establish the criteriological norms of our cognitive proceedings.
