The epistemology does?

No, epistemology asks questions about the nature of knowledge, where does knowledge come from etc... You can make all sorts of claims about the world, the epistemological question is how do you know your claims are correct. I've got $20 in my wallet. How do I know that...

Yes, thank you. I know what epistemology is. This was why I was asking how it can also be ontology. Never mind. Clearly some wires crossed. This is the epistemology I am referring to.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02691728.2013.782585 …

That's exactly why you shouldn't use the term. I know that piece, and hundreds of others like it. By using it that way you're stepping into their universe and giving them the high ground and following their confusion. It's a category error.

No, I don't think so. I think we can show the problem with epistemologies like faith and standpoint theory as epistemologies without giving them any kind of highground.

No you have to examine the ontological claims they make, and deal with each in terms of the epistemological grounds they rest on. Just trying to help and I've been doing this for a long time in published debates with the key postmoderns in my field and beyond. It's a trap...

I am not sure why you think I disagree with you on this. I suggest arguing with someone who does.

Helen Pluckrose @HPluckroseThis is why I am beginning to think we need to stop saying 'postmodernism' which is too broad & easily confused and find a term just for this epistemology which works on a perception of society dominated by discourses of power in which knowledge & ethics are positional & relativeShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Yes. We must criticise this epistemology based on standpoint theory but we shouldn't call it 'postmodernism' which is much broader. Why does this make you think you need to tell me postmodernism is not an epistemology?

We need a term *just* for this epistemology because postmodernism is not just this epistemology. I had thought that was clear but you have shown me it can somehow be read as 'postmodernism is just this epistemology'. Fair enough. No point insisting I think that & shouldn't tho.
