Preferred term

evolutionary epistemology  

Definition

  • Evolutionary epistemology considers the scientific processes and bounds of knowledge, with an emphasis on natural selection as the crucial source of sensate cognition by which organisms adapt to their environments. This mode of naturalistic epistemology contrasts significantly with the traditional transcendantformulation, which presupposes no particular format of knowledge.
