| Naturalized epistemology: is an expression by W.V. O. Quine (Quine, Willard (2004), "Epistemology Naturalized." In E. Sosa & J. Kim, Epistemology An Anthology, Malden, MA, pp. 292-300). It proposes abandoning traditional epistemology in favor of scientific procedures. The starting point for this consideration is Quine's insight from “Two Dogmas” (Quine, Willard (1994), "Two Dogmas of Empiricism. From a Logical Point of View”, Cambridge, MA pp. 20-46) according to which the distinction between analytic and synthetic sentences cannot be traced back to individual present sentences. This is the reason why theories must be considered as a whole. See also analyticity/syntheticity, epistemology._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Naturalized Epistemology/Quine: no "Prima Philosophia", no upstream philosophy, which is to regulate the knowledge. Actually, there is no distinction between describing and justifying. Philosophy should confine itself to explain how we come to knowledge. I (d) 66 Quine: We have what is dictated to us by science and enlightened comon sense, and we have to accept it without an attempt of justification. >Justification, >Verification, >Verificationism, >Science._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
