The Veritistic And Social Dimension's Of Cognitiving

Alvin L.Goldman,(1938-)is a well-known contemporary philosopher in the United States. On contemporary epistemology field, Alvin L. Goldman s process reliabilism is the most predominant on the approach of justified. He take for the Social epistemics has two dimensions that Social Dimension and Veritistic Dimension. By reason of social dimension, because by the traditional path to acquire knowledge, the path leading to the socialization of knowledge is more important. Social epistemology is not to limit its own individual alone, it is often focused on particular social groups or organizations, social epistemology full account of the nature of a collective or a cooperative entity; reason with realistic dimensions, because Goldman's appears that the social practice of epistemology is the truth value of the subject. As the truth of epistemology, both concerned with the knowledge concern as its opposite error and ignorance. Epistemological truth main question is:Compared with the errors and ignorance, which practice knowledge has a relatively positive effect? The individual seeking of epistemology is the concept of the individual, and the social practice, and the social problem of epistemology is the realistic social practice problems. Social epistemology is seeking to Veritistic the dimensions according to specific social practice activity.Goldman's Social epistemics bring forth abundant theory production of epistemology, his epistemology, whether or Veritistic dimension of social dimensions, are reliable and of course with his link. As he thought, our perception is generally true faith, because faith in the process of perception produced is generally reliable, it is a typical external theories. According to this understanding of belief on the perception of his doctrine to attempt to secure this idea to other cognitive processes, such as introspection, memory and rational intuition and other areas of the inner doctrine, or even trying to internal and external in the theory On to reconcile the dispute. Indeed, whether external or internal doctrine of Marxism, or less an expression of our knowledge and intuitive understanding of some of the defense. Goldman began to stress the reliability of the theory of confirmation from the "real" the external conditions, and finally turned to psychology to explain the progressive pattern within such a doctrine into the road, so he's reliable on the subject of criticism for the inherent, Goldman also use different ways to revise and improve the social reliable theory, he. Regardless of how we define the knowledge or external defense concept, no matter how much we analyze those concepts in specific field application, as long as they get results may not from first-person view, then the result can only be closed forever. This is an improved reliable socialist must face the problem.The Social epistemics of Goldman, whether the contribution or the limitations of the study are valuable assets of contemporary epistemology. At the last part, the paper analyzes some contemporary philosopher of epistemology, and the latest research-oriented. This paper also tries to put forward a new approach of epistemology.
