Distinguishing Necessary and Contingent Knowledge.
Becker, Joe
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n89 p63-76 Fall 2000
Examines the distinctions and interrelations between necessary and contingent knowledge and relates these concepts to the distinction between scientific and empirical validity. Considers how these distinctions can be applied to an understanding of morality, arguing for a relational rather than absolutist approach to questions of necessity. (JPB)
