Description

Epistemetrics is not as yet a scholarly discipline. With regard to scientific information there is the discipline of scientometrics. Science, however, does not have a monopoly on knowledge. While scientometrics is a centerpiece of epistemetrics, it is not the whole of it. Nicholas Reschers endeavor to quantify knowledge is not only of interest in itself, but is also instructive in bringing into sharper relief the nature of the limits that confront our efforts to advance the frontiers of knowledge.
