History of Epistemological Thought

Lilburne — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:56:00 GMT

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 Inspiration of Hesiod introduces the poet.

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.

Political Philosophy

Lilburne — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 18:21:00 GMT

I present my theory of the state as a symbiosis of violent criminals (magistrates) and propagandizing intellectuals (clerics, journalists, academics, etc) in the following posts.

I further analyze the nature of the state in the following.

And my political philosophy suffuses my posts on History.

Ethics

Lilburne — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 18:17:00 GMT

I establish my basic theory of ethics in For a New Libertarian Ethics

Economics

Lilburne — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 18:15:00 GMT

The following five articles attack economic crackpots, past and present. Versions of each article has been published on the Mises Institute web and can be found in my LvMI Author's Archive.

Krugman's Intellectual Waterloo (about Paul Krugman)
Krugman's Rearguard Apologists
The Second Coming of Keynes (about both John Maynard Keynes and Krugman)
Ben Bernanke Was Wrong
The 19th Century Bernanke (about Nicholas Biddle)

If you would like to learn about the most fundamental concepts underlying sound economics (otherwise known as the Austrian School of Economics), please read my extensive series of posts discussing the hugely important book Principles of Economics by Carl Menger.

I also offer my own take on the underlying praxeological principles of economics in Action, Goals, and Goods.

I also have five posts discussing the business cycle

Sound Money is the Only Solution applies the Austrian Business Cycle Theory (ABCT) to the current financial crisis.

The ABCT Shadowed Forth calls attention to a passage written by Austrian economist Eugen von Bohm-Bawerk in the late 19th century which seems to anticipate the Mises/Hayek business cycle theory.

And the following three posts present my own revisionist (though still completely Austrian in approach) theory of the business cycle.

The following posts specifically discuss the history of economic thought:
