Epistemology has been recognized as a useful conceptual tool to explore how knowledge produced and/or reproduced in higher education research and its linkages hidden global geopolitics historical forces. The topic attracted considerable attention the literature, particularly that of scholars Global South (Canagarajah, 2008; Chen, 2010; Kenway & Fahey, Rizvi, 2006a, 2006b; Santos, 2014). Equally...

The attempts to clarify (purify) the conceptual foundations of family therapy by means of "epistemology" have bred excitement, boredom, irritation and confusion. In the belief that at least the confusion can be alleviated, the present paper is offered as a study guide and something of a Rosetta Stone for translating the work of Gregory Bateson and Humberto R.

We use an interactive epistemology framework to provide a systematic analysis of some solution concepts for games with asymmetric information. We characterize solution concepts using expressible epistemic assumptions, represented as events in the canonical space generated by primitive uncertainty about the payoff relevant state, payoff irrelevant information, and actions. In most of the paper, ...

There is a long tradition in formal epistemology and in the psychology of reasoning to investigate indicative conditionals. In psychology, the propositional calculus was taken for granted to be the normative standard of reference. Experimental tasks, evaluation of the participants’ responses and psychological model building, were inspired by the semantics of the material conditional. Recent emp...

The history of epistemology, however, can in large part be read as a history of trying to establish that there is a necessary connection between the answers to these two questions. A traditional view is that justified beliefs are ones arrived at using an appropriate methodology and that use of an appropriate methodology produces knowledge. Descartes, for example, argued that one is justified in...
