Normatividad epistémica y capacidad metarrepresentacional

Publicado 2002-05-01

Resumo

Sorne recent forms of reliabilism, and mainly the epistemic virtues theory, postulate a compromise between reflectivity and informational reliability. In this paper we present a model of epistemic normativity that makes compatible the reflective instance with the physical process of information gathering. The hard core of this proposal is a concept of metarepresentation that allows to represent both the content and the process of belief formation. This new concept is provided by the Recanati's Principie of Iconicity. We propose this principie as a basis for a more robust knowledge relationship than the considered ones in the clasical forms of reliabilism.
