The acquisition of knowledge is not a single unrelated occasion but rather an adaptive process in which past acquisitions modify present and future ones. In Part I of this essay in epistemology it is argued that coping with knowledge is not a passive affair but dynamic and active, involving its continuance into the stages of assimilation and deployment. In Part II a number of specific issues are raised and discussed in order to explore the dimensions and the depths of the workings of adaptive knowing. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Activity as A Source of Knowledge first appeared in Tulane Studies in PhilosoPhy, XII, 1963; Knowing, Doing and Being in Ratio, VI, 1964; On Beliefs and Believing in Tulane Studies, XV, 1966; Absent Objects in Tulane Studies, XVII, 1968; The Reality Game in Tulane Studies, XVIII, 1969; Adaptive Responses and The Ecosys- tem in Tulane Studies, XVIII, 1969; The Mind-Body Problem in the Philosophical Journal, VII, 1970; and The Knowledge of The Known in the International Logic Review, I, 1970. PART I COPING WITH KNOWLEDGE CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM OF KNOWLEDGE 1. THE CHOSEN APPROACH You are about to read a study of epistemology, one which has been made from a realistic standpoint.
