Isi artikel

This articletries to show that epistemology as a philosophical reflection on human knowledge is still necessary. to do so, in the first part of this article Richard Rorty's main arguments for the demise of epistemology will be presented and critically assessed. central to his arguments is his view of epistemology as a strict foundational effort to give a rational justification for any knowledge whatsoever. However, epistemology should not be understood in such a narrow sense. If epistemology is understood in a wider sense, as a critical reflection on human knowledge, then Rorty's own critique is it self an epistemological enterprise. Before showing the contemporary relevance of epistemology, the second part of the article tries to give some reasons why knowledge is so important for human life. Since there is an increasing awareness of the social and cultural dimensions of human knowledge, and therefore their importance in a philosophical reflection on human knowledge, the last part of the article is an attempt to show the importance of social epistemology.
