Philosophy long sought to set knowledge on a firm foundation, through derivation of indubitable truths by infallible rules. This work argues for a reconception that takes reflective equilibrium as the standard of rational acceptability. It contends that metaphor, fiction, and exemplification often advance understanding in science and in art.
