Epistemology Quotes

John Polkinghorne quote: "Epistemology models ontology."
Epistemology models ontology. John Polkinghorne

Epistemology is the study of knowledge. By what conduit do we know what we know? Theodore Bikel
Physical objects are conceptually imported into the situation as convenient intermediaries not by definition in terms of experience, but simply as irreducible posits comparable, epistemologically, to the gods of Homer . . . For my part I do, qua lay physicist, believe in physical objects and not in Homer's gods; and I consider it a scientific error to believe otherwise. But in point of epistemological footing, the physical objects and the gods differ only in degree and not in kind. Both sorts... Willard Van Orman Quine
Indeed, this epistemological theory of the relation between theory and experiment differs sharply from the epistemological theory of naive falsificationism. Imre Lakatos
In order to live, man must act; in order to act, he must make choices; in order to make choices, he must define a code of values; in order to define a code of values, he must know what he is and where he is? i. e. he must know his own nature (including his means of knowledge) and the nature of the universe in which he acts? i. e. he needs metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, which means: philosophy.

It is characteristic of the epistemological tradition to present us with partial scenarios and then to demand whole or categorical answers as it were. Avrum Stroll
John Polkinghorne quote: "It is the faithfulness of God that allows epistemology to..."
It is the faithfulness of God that allows epistemology to model ontology. John Polkinghorne

Jean Piaget quote: "In genetic epistemology, as in developmental psychology, too,..."
In genetic epistemology, as in developmental psychology, too, there is never an absolute beginning. Jean Piaget
Logical positivists have never taken psychology into account in their epistemology, but they affirm that logical beings and mathematical beings are nothing but linguistic structures. Jean Piaget
Imre Lakatos quote: "The clash between Popper and Kuhn is not about a mere..."
The clash between Popper and Kuhn is not about a mere technical point in epistemology. Imre Lakatos
If somebody is going to try to paste a person's view on epistemology to me, then give me Thomas Aquinas. Don't give me Ayn Rand. Paul Ryan
But epistemology is always and inevitably personal. The point of the probe is always in the heart of the explorer: What is my answer to the question of the nature of knowing? Gregory Bateson
