Abstract
The article is a book review of "Epistemology of the Human Sciences: Restoring an Evolutionary Approach to Biology, Economics, Psychology and Philosophy" by Walter B. Weimer. The reviewer expresses initial excitement about the book's approach to epistemology and its rejection of traditional views of knowledge as justified true belief. However, the reviewer criticizes Weimer's arguments and lack of engagement with contemporary philosophy. The reviewer also highlights the book's focus on the differences between physical sciences and human sciences. Overall, the reviewer finds the book to be lacking in sophistication and unlikely to have a significant impact on philosophical research. [Extracted from the article]
