Rethinking Epistemology

Der Band umfasst Beiträge zur "systematischen Wissensforschung". Zugleich wird eine Erweiterung und Neuausrichtung der klassischen Epistemologie vorgeschlagen. Themenfelder im zweiten der beiden Teilbände sind: Varianten des Skeptizismus; Wechselwirkungen der Wissensformen (begriffliches und nicht-begriffliches Wissen, implizites und explizites Wissen, knowing-how und knowing-that); Wissen der ersten, zweiten und dritten Person; Praktisches Wissen und die Struktur von Handlungen; Wissen und das Problem des Dualismus; Disjunktivismus bezüglich Erfahrung und Wahrnehmung.

The Berlin Studies in Knowledge Research (BSKR) series aims to foster systematic research into the variety of forms of knowledge as well as to uncover aspects of their underlying unity. The conception of the discipline of epistemology it seeks to promote is a generous-one which encompasses a study of the full variety of forms, practices and dynamics of knowledge, as well as their mutually interacting points of contact and their respective mechanisms of interpenetration. It seeks thereby to bring about a reorientation of the discipline of epistemology, undoing artificial restrictions in its scope and achieving a greater appreciation of the heterogeneity of different forms of knowledge.

The series BSKR is associated with the Innovationszentrum Wissensforschung (IZW) / Center for Knowledge Research at the TU Berlin, Germany.

This volume contains contributions to the “systematic study of knowledge.” They suggest both an extension and a new path for classical epistemology. The topics in the second volume are the following: variants of skepticism; knowledge of the first, second, and third person; practical knowledge and the structure of action; knowledge and the problem of dualism; and disjunctivism concerning experience and perception.
