Evolutionary epistemology

Abstract

The relationship between individual knowledge gain and evolution is considered; the notion of Kant's a prioris is reconsidered in the light of the notion that individual learning is itself an adaptation that is constrained by the main evolutionary programme; the possibility that at least some forms of learning may occur by way of selecton processes is then reviewed and the chapter ends with wider epistemological schemes, notably that of Donald Campbell.
