What is knowledge? In what sense is the environment of a cognitive system more than a mere source of information? What are the roles of relevance and indifference for a characterisation of knowledge? How are knowledge and action related? These issues are considered and discussed in this book. Although it does not offer an account of knowledge, this work addresses a diverse range of important topics concerning that notion, seeking to connect them in a unifying way.

Esteban Céspedes obtained his PhD in Philosophy at the Goethe Univesity of Frankfurt, Germany, and works as an associate researcher at the Valparaíso Complex Systems Institute, located in Valparaíso, Chile. His main interests lie in the field of epistemology.
