Even though important developments within 20th and 21st century
philosophy have widened the scope of epistemology, this has not yet
resulted in a systematic meta-epistemological debate about
epistemology's aims, methods, and criteria of success. Ideas such
as the methodology of reflective equilibrium, the proposal to
"naturalize" epistemology, constructivist impulses fuelling the
"sociology of scientific knowledge", pragmatist calls for taking
into account the practical point of epistemic evaluations, as well
as feminist criticism of the abstract and individualist assumptions
built into traditional epistemology are widely discussed, but they
have not typically resulted in the call for, let alone the
construction of, a suitable meta-epistemological framework. This
book motivates and elaborates such a new meta-epistemology. It
provides a pragmatist, social and functionalist account of
epistemic states that offers the conceptual space for revised or
even replaced epistemic concepts. This is what it means to
"refurbish epistemology": The book assesses conceptual tools in
relation to epistemology's functionally defined conceptual space,
responsive to both intra-epistemic considerations and political and
moral values.
