Abstract

The naturalistic epistemology of individual knowledge should follow the procedure usual in the epistemology of science: generalize from succesfull cognitive practices! In the case of naturalistic epistemology the data base - the cogitive practices it is supposed to generalize, are practices based on cognitive skills, like perceptual cognition, language acquisition and use and inference. This would then make cognitive psychology a guide for epistemology.
