As an example for those in the group who are unsure of how epistemology works, I will try to give an example below.
In 1969, my family and I moved to a new location. On the route to town was a totally creepy, eerie house, not unlike that on the opening credits of Scooby Doo. On the pane of glass above the front door, the words "Bonkers House" was etched. From this, my siblings and I, assumed all the inhabitants inside had to be "bonkers" or mad, delusional people; and so it got spread from us to our friends etc etc. Now, if this is true, and the correct epistemology (town documents photos etc can validate) there will be no other evidence earlier than 1969, on Bonkers meaning madness and delusional behaviour. If, however, there is validatable evidence earlier than 1969 then, that, of course, will be the true epistemological evidence and meaning for the association of delusional mad people as Bonkers. Do we all understand, how it works now?? -------------------------------------------------- From: "einseele" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 08, 2009 2:10 PM To: "Epistemology" <[email protected]> Subject: [epistemology 10607] Re: Is there a moderator for this group? > > And who is going to tell us what is or is not epistemology, and how > incomprehensible that something is > Would that person be you.
