Practice-dependence and epistemic uncertainty

Journal of Global Ethics, 2017
ABSTRACTA shared presumption among practice-dependent theorists is that a principle of justice is dependent on the function or aim of the practice to which it is supposed to be applied. In recent contributions to this debate, the condition of epistemic uncertainty plays a significant role for motivating and justifying a practice-dependent view.

Epistemic constraints on practical normativity

Synthese, 2010
What is the relation between what we ought to do, on the one hand, and our epistemic access to the ought-giving facts, on the other?

Philosophia, 2006
It is not unusual for epistemologists to argue that ordinary epistemic practice is a setting within which (infallibilist) scepticism will not arise. Such scepticism is deemed to be an alien invader, impugning such epistemic practice entirely from without.

Such justification, on the proposed account, depends mainly on the proportioning of “inner epistemic virtue” to the “outer risks ...

Epistemic practices in hacking communities

Epistemic Practices and Scientific Practices in Science Education

2017
There is a growing consensus in considering that learning science involves students’ participation in the epistemic goals of science (Duschl, 2008; Kelly, 2008) or that, as Duschl (2008) proposes, science education should balance conceptual, epistemic and social learning goals.
