Description

Epistemic Evaluation aims to explore and apply a particular methodology in epistemology. The methodology is to consider the point(s) or purpose(s) of our epistemic evaluations, and to pursue epistemological theory in light of such matters.

Call this purposeful epistemology. The idea is that considerations about the point and purpose of epistemic evaluation might fruitfully constrain epistemological theory and yield insights for epistemologicalreflection. Several contributions to this volume explicitly address this general methodology, or some version of it.

Others focus on advancing some application of the methodology rather than on theorizing about it.

The papers go on to explore the idea that purposes allow one to understand the conceptual demands onknowing, examine how purposeful epistemology might shed light on the debate between internalist and externalist epistemologies, and further develop the idea of purposeful epistemology.
