The Definition and Method of Philosophy of Knowledge

Philosophy is the effort to understand the life deeply and make sense of what is happening in his/her own way. It requires questioning and investigation. It is the art of looking at the universe in unity, combining the pieces and synthesizing. At the same time, it is a product of critical minds, persistent attitude toward research and passion for knowing the truth. Epistemology is explaining the science by philosophy, in another word, the examination of science from the perspective of philosophy. As epistemology deals with general structure of scientific thought, it also searches for criticism of the truth. In this study, the examination of knowledge from the point of philosophy has been targeted. Epistemology has been discussed from its various aspects. For this purpose, the concepts of knowledge, philosophy and epistemology have been studied. Key Words: Knowledge, Philosophy, Epistemology

Filosofija. Sociologija

The article analyses the problems and possibilities of forming a general methodological paradigm for the study, explanation and forecasting of social processes – in the context of the philosophical concepts of G. Hegel and F. Nietzsche. In particular, a fundamental possibility for forming a general methodological paradigm based on a dynamic balance of not optimal, but possible is analysed. The paper outlines the positive and negative aspects of the methodological paradigms of rationalism and irrationalism (postmodernism); points out the possibility of terminological discourse in determining the content of concepts and categories; emphasises the efficiency of the methodological paradigm of rationalism on the example of the analysis and implementation of the philosophical category ‘measure’; substantiates the need for improvement of the spiritual priorities of various groups of the population – with a special emphasis on the layer of politicians.

Abstract. An essential aspect of scientific knowledge is the problem of meaning. But how accede to significance? Starting with Frege’s theory there are three major perspectives on the significance: a) inferential perspective; b) communicational perspective; c) performative perspective. The solution of the present study is a practical holism of significance in Wittgenstein – Dummett line, to reappraise inferential perspective. Keywords: inferential significance; communicational significance; performative significance; holism

THE IDEA OF KNOWLEDGE AND ITS EVOLUTION IN MODERN DISCOURSE, 2019

This study conducts an epistemological and contextual discourse analysis of the idea of knowledge in the philosophy of the 20th century. The main key stones of this work are as follows: the identification of the essential characteristics indicating the ontological genesis of the existing crisis of epistemological and ethical foundations; consideration of the main distinctive features of knowledge interpretation in epistemology and contextualism as a possible knowledge production instrument; study of the possibility of restoring an integral picture of the world based on phenomenological ontologies; study of possibilities in the language domain from a hermeneutical point of view in the light of the resolution of epistemological contradictions. For all people interested in modern philosophy.

Some aspects of knowledge, 2020

The philosophical account of epistemological and ontological issues in creating, recording, sharing and using principal scientific and engineering concepts. The notion and structure of the knowledge will be disused, a variety of misinforming trends identified, examples of ambiguous concepts presented, and the improved definitions are developed. The author criticised the existing and proposed the new definitions for the concepts such as definition, philosophy, ontology, and expanded on the importance of philosophical hypotheses for advances in sciences.

Humans have always struggled with fundamental questions regarding knowledge. In order for modern knowledge seekers to understand knowledge, they must look to several philosophical approaches. Just one approach cannot unveil the complexities of the notion of knowledge. What knowledge is and the value of knowledge is a constantly evolving concept that will never remain static.

This paper initiates a research project about the diversity of concepts of learning and knowledge and the variety of ideas about definitions. It studies the meaning of Socratic methods in the knowledge society and analyses some examples of knowledge creation from Plato and Dewey. With these examples and the notion of knowledge as proven true beliefs, the paper justifies an approach on learning and knowledge creation, based on reflection, reasoning and judgement. With this purpose, further research will focus on seven arts of reasoning and rhetoric of inquiry from the point of view of learning and knowledge.
