  • Epistemic Ecology

    Open AccessCatherine Z ElginBOOKEpistemic Ecology2025

    An ecological epistemology arguing that epistemic agents, communities, and environments adapt to one another to generate evolving understandings of the world. Mainstream epistemology focuses on static states. In Epistemic Ecology, Catherine Elgin adopts a dynamic stance, viewing epistemic subjects as agents rather than onlookers. She examines how, individually and collectively, we construct our epistemic practices, policies, principles, and proce…

  • Beyond the Information Given

    Catherine Z ElginARTICLEPhilosophical Topics2021

    Teaching is not testimony. Although both convey information, they have different uptake requirements. Testimony aims to impart information and typically succeeds if the recipient believes that informationon account of having been told by a reliable informant. Teaching aims to equip learners to go beyond the information given—to leverage that information to broaden, deepen, and critique their current understanding of a topic. Teaching fails if the…

    Catherine Z ElginBOOKConsidered Judgment1996Citada por: 60

    Philosophy long sought to set knowledge on a firm foundation, through derivation of indubitable truths by infallible rules. For want of such truths and rules, the enterprise foundered. Nevertheless, foundationalism's heirs continue their forbears' quest, seeking security against epistemic misfortune, while their detractors typically espouse unbridled coherentism or facile relativism. Maintaining that neither stance is tenable, Catherine Elgin dev…

    Catherine Z ElginARTICLEPhilosophy and Phenomenological…1987

    It's hard to know what realism is any more. In 'Concepts and Correspondence',' Scott Shalkowski construes it as a matter of a non-linguistic, non-psychological correspondence between language and the world.' Although he maintains that Goodman's arguments do not undermine realism, what he shows is that they do not refute it a weaker thesis that is readily conceded. 'Any statement can be held true come what may if we make drastic enough adjustments…
