In Error, Nicholas Rescher presents a fresh analysis of the occurrence, causality, and consequences of error in human thought, action, and evaluation. Rescher maintains that erroravoidance and truthachievement are distinct but equally important factors for rational inquiry, and that error is inherent in the human cognitive process (to err is human). He defines three main categories of error: cognitive (failure to realize truths); practical (failure related to the objective of an action); and axiological (failure in evaluation), and articulates the factors that contribute to each. His discussion also provides a historical perspective on the treatment of error in Greek philosophy, and by later thinkers such as Aquinas, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, James, Royce, Moore, and Russell.Error is an important reexamination of the significance of error to the fields of philosophical anthropology, epistemology, ontology, and theology. As Reschers study argues, truth and error are inexorably intertwinedone cannot exist without the other. Error is an unavoidable occurrence in the cognitive processwithout missteps on the path to truth, truth itself cannot be attained. The risk of error is inherent in the quest for truth.
