报告人简介
Stephen Grimm,美国Fordham大学哲学系教授,曾任南京大学哲学系刘伯明讲座教授。主要研究知识论和科学哲学,旁涉宗教哲学和康德研究。他是研究理解的最有影响的当代哲学家之一(据Google scholar,自2006以来,他有5篇论文的论文被引超过100次,最高一篇被引350多次)。他作为首席专家(Principal Investigator)主持的关于理解的跨学科研究项目获得多个机构累计450多万美元的资助。近年来他提倡作为生活方式的哲学(philosophy as a way of life),是牛津大学出版社Guides to the Good Life系列丛书主编。此外,他关于康德之根本恶(radical evil)理论的研究也成了这个小领域的重要文献之一。
报告摘要
I argue that epistemic accomplishments such as understanding, know-how, and wisdom are best thought of as types or species of knowledge. Following Edward Craig, I claim that knowers are people who reliably get it right in various domains, and the particular accomplishments of understanding, know-how, and wisdom correspond to those domains. I clarify what those domains are like, and argue that approaching epistemology in this way gives a unified account of our epistemic appraisals.
