{"product_id":"the-necessity-of-errors-9781844677399","title":"The Necessity of Errors","description":"Truth and error are interdependent; claims to truth can be made only in the light of previous error. In \u003ci\u003eThe Necessity of Errors\u003c\/i\u003e, John Roberts explores how, up to Hegel, emphasis was placed on error as something that dissolves truth and needs to be eradicated. Drawing on the fragmented corpus of writing on error, from Locke to Luxemburg, Adorno to Vaneigem, and covering five key areas from philosophy to political praxis, this wide-ranging account explores how we learn from error, under what conditions, and with what means. Errors, Roberts finds, are productive, but not in any uniform sense or under all circumstances--a theory of errors needs a dialectics of error.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844677399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52715462918325,"sku":"9781844677399","price":29.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-necessity-of-errors-9781844677399","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
