Epistemology

1. Abstract

The philosophical theory of knowledge: concerned aspects

  • what constitutes a knowledge claim
  • how can knowledge be acquired or produced
  • how the extent of knowledge's transferability can be assessed

1.1. Types

1.1.1. Objectivist

  • a true reality (the object) outside the observer (the subject) exists and is not dependent on the existence and state of the observer
    • this can be said to be most closely related to Ontology

1.1.2. Constructionist

  • the objects interpretation is dependent on the subject's interaction with reality and objective reality doesn't exist independently

1.1.3. Subjectivist

  • all reality is dependent on the perception of the subject and can be mended according to the subject's experiences

  • Delving into the idea of Epistemological Cartography.
  • Cartography usually refers mapping landscapes and terrains physically. I find the idea of mapping the abstract knowledge landscape.
  • might allow me to do some interesting things
    • abstractly map journeys between domains
    • define closeness and interrelatedness between domains
  • it might just have to be a math in itself
  • the physical world we experience is 4 dimensional (time + location): but I can explicitly see that I'll need to work in an indefinite number of abstract dimensions when working with an epistemological landscape.
  • I think the idea is mature enough to create it's own node : see Epistemological Cartography

  • I index this personally as the philosophical theory of knowledge (which is vague).
  • Diving deeper so that I can start to formalize this via some representation (NIL) in my works.
