The Biological and Social Dimensions of Human Knowledge

More about the book

The book challenges the traditional view of epistemology as a normative discipline focused on defining the conditions for acceptable knowledge. It argues that this perspective fails to account for the broader understanding of knowledge, as many intuitive examples from both humans and non-human animals do not exhibit the normative features typically sought by philosophers. This exploration reveals the limitations of conceptual analysis in fully capturing the nature of knowledge and suggests a need for a more inclusive approach.
