Idealization in Epistemology

A Modest Modeling Approach

Beschreibung

Daniel Greco argues that the landscape of epistemology looks quite different when viewed through the lens of idealization and model-building. We should accept that theorizing in epistemological terms is inescapably idealized, and that we can know a wide variety of facts with certainty despite our cognitive limitations.
