CHAPTER 2 KIM™S CRITIQUE OF QUINE™S …
33 CHAPTER 2 KIM S CRITIQUE OF QUINE S NATURALIZED EPISTEMOLOGY Numerous critics of Quine s essay Epistemology Naturalized treat Quine s proposal to make epistemology a CHAPTER of psychology as a proposal for abandoning normative epistemology (Quine 1969a). One of the most prominent critics making this contention is Jaegwon Kim. Kim objects that by merely describing the causal relationship between cognitive input and output, Quine s naturalism abandons the normative concept of justification, the normative element of the concept of knowledge , and therefore genuine epistemology (Kim 1988). Kim also urges that aside from the concept of justification, even the concept of belief has a normative dimension, and that any epistemology wishing to dispense with normativity must also dispense with belief a seemingly absurd consequence for naturalists who otherwise seem to be enamored of discussing reliable belief-forming processes.
38 The finew settingfl of epistemology is psychology. Quine thinks epistemology is ficontainedfl in natural science, given that the subject of epistemological study is a physical, human one.
