Information Theory and Knowledge
Journal of Applied Physics, 1954Distinction between data transmission from one person (or point) to another and the inception of new knowledge is analyzed in relation to information theory. The customary measure H = −∑ipi logpi applies essentially to the former case, and after discussing the requirements appropriate to a yardstick for new knowledge an elementary measure for this ...

‘Theory of Mind’ I: a theory of knowledge?
Australasian Psychiatry, 2012Objective: ‘Theory of mind’ is a cognitive notion introduced by Simon Baron-Cohen and colleagues to explain certain deficits in autistic disorders. It has, however, been extended beyond this, and applied more broadly. It proposes a means of knowing the mind of others, and suggests that this means fails in autism.

This chapter concerns demonstrative certainty in the sciences of mathematics, which contain necessary a priori truths, and the natural sciences, which are based on the senses

In this paper, I present some of the basic questions of Epistemology and try to come to some answers. My central claim, all along this paper, is that what is real is real even without being known; what is known is known even without being justified; what is true is true even without being justified; what is justified is justified only with the best ...

Foundations of Physics, 1984
In order to make reliable predictions in any region of human activity, it is necessary to distinguish clearly what is based on experience and what is a construction of intellect. The theory of knowledge developed in the present paper is an attempt to devise a set of axioms that demarcate experience, as the only source of our knowledge of the external ...

Aquinas does not build his philosophical system around a theory of knowledge. In fact the reverse is true: he builds his epistemology on the basis provided by other parts of his system, in particular, his metaphysics and psychology. To examine what we can recognize as a distinct and systematic theory of knowledge, then, we need to extract his strictly ...
