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. Daniel Greco. Also Issued In Print: 2023. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
How can epistemological theories remain valid and useful despite the inherent necessity of idealization in their construction? Daniel Greco, a philosopher specializing in epistemology, posits that the practice of theorizing about knowledge is fundamentally an act of model-building. He argues that by acknowledging these idealizations, we can reconcile our cognitive limitations with the reality that we possess certain knowledge about a wide variety of facts.
