Cognitive Relativism and Social Science
Modern epistomology has been dominated by an empiricist theory of knowledge that assumes a direct individualistic relationship between the knowing subject and the object of knowledge. Truth is held to be universal, and non-individualistic social and cultural factors are considered sources of distortion of true knowledge.

These essays have given rise to the so-called `Zilsel Thesis', which holds that modern science came into being…

However the editors changed their plan and asked me to write a short commentary. I agreed to this change of plan so what follows is basically an expanded version of my initial remarks. (Parenthetically, I belief this format is far better than the old fashioned style refer…
