Empirische Evidenz und epistemische Praxis
Vorschlag einer pragmatischen Synthese von Realismus, Pluralismus und Relativismus in der Wissenschaftstheorie
One of the main questions of philosophy of science is the problem of the status of scientific knowledge as epistemically justified. In this book recent debates about the justification problem and related consequences are re-accessed from a perspective of empirical evidence and epistemic praxis. However severe, debates between realism, empiricism, and relativism in the twentieth and early twenty-first century point to a synthetic solution of the justification problem. This way of argumentation is already presented by John Dewey’s pragmatism but has been ignored in most debates of the past decades. Here, Dewey’s pragmatic stance is used to formulate a synthetic solution of the justification problem based on recent debates.
