Abstract

In this paper I seek to clarify Paul H. Hirst's concept of reason, which is ex pressed only implicitly in his theory of forms of knowledge. Hirst's view of the temporal nature of knowledge is explicated as a prerequisite to the analysis of his key concepts of objectivity, judgement, the given, and facts, all of which are entailed by and necessary to his concept of reason.
