Notions of Naturalized Epistemology

As Primarily Concerned With Prescriptive Norms:

Strong Replacement Theory:

There is no legitimate normative question "How ought one arrive at one's beliefs?"

Weak "Replacement" Theory:

There is no answering "How ought one to arrive at one's beliefs?" cannot be answered independently of answering "How does one arrive at one's beliefs?"

As Primarily Concerned With Understanding Knowledge:

Conceptual Reduction:

Normative epistemic concepts like "justification" and "knowledge" can be translated in a strict sense into naturalistic language.

Conceptual Consistency:

One can describe in naturalistic language conditions under which concepts like "knowledge" and "justification" hold.

Ontological Contextualism :

Questions concerning the nature of knowledge, its extent, etc. are appropriately asked only within the more limited ontological context of our physical world. The answers given, are, in some sense conditional on the presumed ontological context, but nevertheless describe what it is to know, how much one can know, etc. within that context.
