[edit] Meta-epistemology

Meta-epistemology (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article was nominated for AfD without giving any explanation. I slightly suspect this may be original research (no source has been given), but don't know for sure. Tizio 17:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Merge with epistemology unless it's proven to be a hoax. YechielMan 18:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
    Generally, things are deleted unless proven to be true, not the other way around. Tizio 23:20, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. No sources. --C56C 19:05, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. There are sources, although it's such an abstruse subject there aren't very many of them. For example "Epistemology Futures" published by Oxford University Press contains a chapter with the delightful title of "What's epistemology for? The case for neopragmatism in normative metaepistemology" [1]. andy 12:36, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Legitimate area of philosophical study. Could stand a complete rewrite, though, and should be tagged as such if kept. Heather 14:29, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Ok, so you two confirm that what's written in this article is not original research, don't you? Tizio 14:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Definitely (btw I read Philosophy at Cambridge). It's just a clumsily written definition of the subject. andy 16:22, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Agreed. (And I studied Philosophy at Purdue.) Heather 17:14, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
