La circularitat epistèmica
Example: La circularitat epistèmica complica l'anàlisi de la justificació del coneixement.
Definition
"La circularitat epistèmica" refers to a philosophical concept where the justification of knowledge relies on assumptions that themselves depend on the knowledge being justified, creating a circular reasoning pattern that complicates the analysis of epistemic justification.
Etymology
The term "la circularitat epistèmica" combines 'circularitat,' from Latin 'circularis,' meaning circular or round, indicating a cycle or loop, and 'epistèmica,' derived from Greek 'epistēmē,' meaning knowledge or understanding. This phrase captures the idea of knowledge justification looping back on itself.
