Quotes edit

  • The principal way that cognitive science can contribute to epistemology, I claim, is to identify basic belief-forming, or problem-solving processes. Once identified, these processes would be examined by primary epistemology according to the evaluative dimensions and standards adduced in Part I.
    • Alvin Goldman (1986), Epistemology and Cognition. p. 81
