Information-based epistemology, ecological epistemology and epistemology naturalized
Synthese, 1987Only a very short time after the formal birth of information theory in 1948 (Wiener, Shannon) its potential value in psychology began to be realized (Miller and Frick, 1949). Quine's influential suggestion (1968) that epistemology be naturalized, i.e., be viewed as a branch of psychology, might have been expected to bring information theory into ...

Normative epistemology and naturalized epistemology∗
Inquiry, 1988A number of philosophers have argued that a naturalized epistemology cannot be normative, and thus that the norms that govern science cannot themselves be established empirically. Three arguments for this conclusion are here developed and then responded to on behalf of naturalized epistemology. The response is developed in three stages.

Synthese, 1983
By examining the general conditions in which a structure could come to represent another state of affairs, it is argued that beliefs, a special class of representations, have their contents limited by the sort of information the system in which they occur can pick up and process.

Current Opinion in Psychology
Salient social identities have long appeared to shape what we believe and know. But do social identities also shape how we know? This essay argues that performances of "lay epistemology" by populist leaders may shape group norms in ways that encourage supporters to orient to their worlds more through intuition and emotion and less through evidence and ...

Psychopathology, 2012
In historical and epistemological terms, psychiatry is a new discipline born during the 19th century. Rooted in both the natural and social sciences, psychiatric objects of inquiry, namely mental symptoms and mental disorders, are hybrid, constituted by the blending of components arising from disparate sources of knowledge ranging from the biological ...

Synthese, 1960
A. Church in his justified criticism 1) of A. Koyre’s analysis of antinomies without using the logistic method, and A. N. Prior in his rigorous treatment 2) of the Epimenides paradox, concur in stressing that the point in this paradox is not the supposed emergence of contradictory conclusions but the apparent possibility of settling an epistemological ...

Virtue Epistemology and the Epistemology of Virtue
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, 2000The ancient Greeks almost universally accepted the thesis that virtues are skills. Skills have an underlying intellectual structure (logos), and having a particular skill entails understanding the relevant logos, possessing a general ability to diagnose and solve problems (phronesis), as well as having appropriate experience.

Probability is sometimes regarded as a universal panacea for epistemology. It has been supposed that the rationality of belief is almost entirely a matter of probabilities. Unfortunately, those philosophers who have thought about this most extensively have tended to be probability theorists first, and epistemologists only secondarily. In my estimation,

This paper is an attempt to clarify why Ludwig Boltzmann from about 1895 to 1905 seemed to adopt a series of extreme epistemological positions, ranging from phenomenalism to pragmatism, while emphatically rejecting what he called ‘metaphysics’ (by which he meant all traditional philosophy).
