We show a lot of respect for science today. To back up our claims, we tend to appeal to scientific methods. It seems that we all agree that these methods are effective for gaining the truth. We can ask why science has its special status as a supplier of knowledge about our external world and our bodies. Of course, one should not always trust what scientists say. Nonetheless, epistemological jus...

As concrete examples, dyslexia and nonverbal thinking are discussed, and concrete steps to remove the barriers caused by ...

It is hardly ever spelled out what"adequate statistical knowledge"would be, if we had it, and how adequate statistical kn...

Despite progress in interdisciplinary research, difficulties remain. In this paper, we argue that scholars, educators, and practitioners need to critically rethink the ways in which interdisciplinary research and training are conducted. We present epistemological pluralism as an approach for conducting innovative, collaborative research and study. Epistemological pluralism recognizes that, in a...

Steganography has been studied extensively in the light of information, complexity, probability and signal processing theory. This paper adds epistemology to the list and argues that Simmon’s seminal prisoner’s problem has an empirical dimension, which cannot be ignored (or defined away) without simplifying the problem substantially. An introduction to the epistemological perspective on stegano...
