Reunifying Epistemology
Advisory Editor: Peter Hare, Buffalo
In recent years epistemological inquiry has gone in a bewildering variety of directions. This issue of The Monist will address the question whether these myriad inquiries can be unified. How far are the many types of epistemology trying to solve the same problems? In so far as the same questions are being addressed, how far are the answers given compatible, how far are they complementary? What sense can we make of the entire epistemological scene? What lessons can be drawn of use in future inquiry? Papers submitted should focus on specific problems or issues concerning relations between different types of epistemology.
