Michael Esfeld on Epistemic/ontologic - Dictionary of Arguments
I 379 Epistemic/ontological/Esfeld: epistemic: we cannot distinguish a part of our knowledge from a part that is contributed by nature. Ontological: we, ourselves are a part of nature, it is not a construction of us - the circle closes, if we start from epistemology to come to an ontological statement how knowledge is possible - and from ontology to an epistemological explanation of how ontology is possible. >Recognition, >Knowledge, >Theory of knowledge, >Ontology._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
