History of Epistemological Thought
Below are links to my posts on the history of epistemological thought. This series of posts is a work in progress. I will try to update this Post Guide as often as possible, but there may be new epistemology posts I haven't yet added to this page. Any such posts can be found on the top of my Epistemology Tag Page.
I introduce the series in the following posts:
I am currently discussing the epistemological thought of the ancient Greek poet Hesiod.
The following six posts summarize his mythological and cosmological poem the Theogony.
And the next three posts search for an implied epistemology in the Theogony.
I also have two short posts discussing the epistemology of Hesiod's other great work, the Works and Days.
And here are two posts discussing, respectively, Homer and Thales.
The next three posts characterize three distinct ancient worldviews.
I discuss the common inductive epistemology of the above three worldviews in Induction in Ancient Greek Thought.
I discuss the advent of ontology, which had a profound effect on epistemology, in The Ontological Revolution: The Proto-Skepticism of Heraclitus.
I discuss the advent of rationalism in The Ontological Counterrevolution: Parmenides, the First Extreme Rationalist.
