  • Goldman and Siegel on the Epistemic Aims of Education
    Goldman and Siegel on the epistemic aims of education Alessia Marabini & Luca Moretti [email protected] [email protected] First Draft (April 25, 2018) ABSTRACT Philosophers have claimed that education aims at fostering disparate epistemic goals––for instance: knowledge, true belief, understanding, epistemic character, critical thinking. In this paper we focus on an important segment of the debate involving conversation between Alvin Goldman and Harvey Siegel. Goldman claims that education is essentially aimed at producing true beliefs. Siegel contends that education is essentially aimed at fostering both true beliefs and, independently, rational beliefs. We summarize and criticize the arguments from both sides. We find Siegel’s position intuitively more plausible than Goldman’s, but we also find Siege’s defence of it wanting. We suggest a novel argumentative strategy on Siegel’s behalf that goes from general epistemology to epistemology of education. (shrink) KEYWORDS: epistemic aims of education, epistemic aims, epistemic rationality, critical thinking, testimony, deontological justification, Alvin Goldman, Harvey Siegel 1. What we do in the paper The debate on the epistemic aims or goals of education is very hot and on-going. Philosophers have claimed that education aims at fostering disparate epistemic goals––for instance: knowledge, true belief, understanding, epistemic character, critical thinking (for an introduction see Carter and Kotzee 2015: §6). In this paper we focus on an important segment of the debate involving conversation between Alvin Goldman and Harvey Siegel. Goldman claims that education is essentially aimed at producing true beliefs. Siegel contends that education is essentially aimed at fostering both true beliefs and, independently, rational beliefs.

Without following the principle that scientific methods must be public, scientific communities risk epistemic divergence. I explicate the notion of public method and argue that, to avoid the risk of epistemic divergence, scientific communities should (and do) apply only methods that are public. 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

  • Knowledge and Its Limits Professor Wesley Holliday MWF 10-11 UC Berkeley, Spring 2013 101 Barker
    PHIL 4 - Knowledge and Its Limits Professor Wesley Holliday MWF 10-11 UC Berkeley, Spring 2013 101 Barker Syllabus Description In this course, we will investigate questions about the nature and limits of knowledge: Is knowledge compatible with the possibility of human error? Is the structure of our knowledge like a building that rests on a foundation or like a web held together by its connections? What are the requirements for knowledge? Can one know by accident? How can we acquire knowledge and avoid misinformation from others? Whom can we trust? Prerequisites There are no official prerequisites for this course. Success in the course will require the patience to carefully read, re-read, and think about difficult philosophical texts, as well as the willingness to work on developing your skills for clear and rigorous analytical writing. Readings There is a reader for the course sold by Copy Central. Versions of most readings are hyperlinked from this syllabus or bSpace, but the official versions are in the reader. Requirements { Section participation (including Piazza) and quizzes (10% of grade) { In-class exam on February 22 (15% of grade) { 3-5 page paper due on bSpace by March 17, 5pm (20% of grade) { 3-5 page paper due on bSpace by April 14, 5pm (25% of grade) { In-class final exam on May 14, 3-6pm (30% of grade) In-class participation will be taken into account in cases of borderline grades. (CDC recommendation: if you are sick, stay home until 24 hours after symptoms stop.) Sections All enrolled students must attend a weekly discussion section.

  • REVIEW ARTICLE on the Philosophical
    REVIEW ARTICLE On the philosophical applications of Cognitive Science Alvin Goldman (ed), Readings in Philosophy and Cognitive Science. Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 1993. Goldman collected thirty-eight papers in Philosophy and in Cognitive Science that are of interest to people from both disciplines. In the following I describe the motivation behind Readings in Philosophy and Cognitive Science (henceforth RPCS), and review its structure. I also point to recent selections, probably less familiar to the potential reader, but certainly worth noticing. I then discuss the bounds of the philosophical applications of Cognitive Science. 1. General overview The very first reaction to RPCS is to wonder why we need another anthology for the philosophy of cognitive science. RPCS, however, is different from Block (1980), Lycan (1990) and many other anthologies. Unlike the others, whose focus is the so-called philosophical foundations of cognitive science, RPCS focuses on the applications of cognitive science to philosophy. As such, most of the papers in RPCS make explicit the connection between empirical findings and significant philosophical theses. Another distinctive feature of RPCS is that half of the papers in it were written by cognitive scientists. These essays describe important empirical work in social psychology, developmental psychology, computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, decision-making theory, vision and neuroscience. Some of the papers, such as Chomsky’s "On the Nature, Use, and Acquisition of Language", and Tversky and Kahneman's "Probabilistic Reasoning" are already very familiar to philosophers and have had their impact on the philosophical literature. Many other papers report or summarize more recent empirical findings. An explicit goal of Goldman in RPCS is to show “how cognitive science bears on most of the major branches in philosophy” (p.

Traditionally, skeptics as well as their opponents have agreed that in order to know that p one must be able, by some preferred means, to rule out all the alternatives to p. Recently, however, some philosophers have attempted to avert skepticism not (merely) by weakening the preferred means but rather by articulating a subset of the alternatives to p - the so-called relevant alternatives - and insisting that knowledge that p requires only that we be able (by the preferred means) to rule out members of the set. In this paper I argue that a precise formulation of this new approach reveals it inadequate as a solution to skepticism.
