The epistemic circumstances of democracy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Does political decision-making require experts or can a democracy be trusted to make correct decisions? Critics of democracy tend to argue that democracy cannot be trusted in this way while advocates tend to argue that it can. Both camps agree that it is

The Epistemic Divide [PDF]

open access: yesThe Southern Journal of Philosophy, 2001
A partir de la dividision metaphysique entre l'esprit et le corps chez Descartes, l'A. examine le phenomene d'insecurite epistemique qui en resulte a l'egard du monde exterieur, dont la connaissance indirecte requiert la justification et l'observation, d'une part, et montre que l'asymetrie entre l'esprit et les faits engendre une division epistemique ...

Trophic Diversity in Duckweed: Mixotrophy, More Than the Sum of its Extremes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In the context of rising DOC in aquatic environments, mixotrophic duckweed may impact carbon cycling by acting as either a carbon sink, as they absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, or a carbon source, as they release CO2 through respiration of absorbed DOC, which depends on DOC concentration, light availability, temperature, and other environmental ...

The importance of epistemic cognition in student-centred learning

open access: yes, 2004
To infer the sophistication of epistemic thinking in a sample of undergraduate students, 25 participants completed a free-response task in which they were asked to give reasons for their agreement or disagreement with a small number of beliefs about the ...

Epistemic Tools and Epistemic Agents in Scientonomy

open access: yesScientonomy: Journal for the Science of Science, 2019
The only subtype of epistemic agent currently recognized within scientonomy is community. The place of both individuals and epistemic tools in the scientonomic ontology is yet to be clarified. This paper extends the scientonomic ontology to include epistemic agents and epistemic tools as well as their relationship to one another.

Dictionary‐based weak‐form training for noise‐robust series hybrid models with multiplicative unknowns

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hybrid modeling combines first‐principles equations with a data‐driven subcomponent. Training for the data‐driven part is sensitive to measurement noise when training targets are constructed using pointwise time derivatives. Beyond differentiation errors, hybrid models involve solving an inverse problem to estimate the data‐driven term, which ...

Epistemic Norms, A Priority, and Self-Knowledge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This thesis is primarily focussed on developing a novel characterisation of the distinction between a priori and a posteriori justification. My working hypothesis is that we can make a surprising amount of progress in this field by paying attention to ...

Epistemic Ensembles

open access: yes, 2022
AbstractAn ensemble consists of a set of computing entities which collaborate to reach common goals. We introduce epistemic ensembles that use shared knowledge for collaboration between agents. Collaboration is achieved by different kinds of knowledge announcements.
