Epistemological particularism

In the modern world, Epistemological particularism has become increasingly relevant. Whether on a personal, professional, political or cultural level, Epistemological particularism has acquired an importance that cannot be overlooked. In this article, we will explore in depth the various aspects related to Epistemological particularism, from its impact on our daily lives to its influence on society as a whole. We will analyze the challenges and opportunities that Epistemological particularism presents, as well as possible solutions and strategies to address them. With a multidisciplinary approach, this article seeks to offer a comprehensive vision of Epistemological particularism and its role in the contemporary world.

Epistemological particularism is the view that one can know something without knowing how one knows it. By this view, one's knowledge is justified before one knows how such belief could be justified. Taking this as a philosophical approach, one would ask the question "What do we know?" before asking "How do we know?" The term appears in Roderick Chisholm's "The Problem of the Criterion", and in the work of his student, Ernest Sosa ("The Raft and the Pyramid: Coherence versus Foundations in the Theory of Knowledge"). Particularism is contrasted with methodism, which answers the latter question before the former. Since the question "What do we know" implies that we know, particularism is considered[by whom?] fundamentally anti-skeptical, and was ridiculed by Kant in the Prolegomena.[citation needed]
