    W.V.O. Quine’s naturalistic approach to epistemology
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2007-12-01) Kabadayı, Talip
    The purpose of this paper is to make the reader be familiar with the naturalized epistemology of Quine, that is, Quine’s scientific approach to epistemology. Quine looks on philosophy mainly as epistemology, which is best seen as an enterprise within natural science. What Quine refutes, by putting forth his conception of natural epistemology against traditional epistemology, is not only Cartesian foundationalism and Carnapian reductionism, but also any epistemological program that puts atomic verificationist semantics at the foundation of its linguistic-factual distinction of individual sentences. In this paper, Quine’s naturalistic approach to the theory of knowledge or epistemology is investigated.
