Teoria cunoștinței: Angajamentele epistemologice tacite ale lui Nicolae Bagdasar

Abstract

Through the filter of his specific two steps method in approaching theories of knowledge, Bagdasar seems to invite his interpreter to consider solely the systematic level. In the following study, I interpret Bagdasar’s conception of knowledge from a perspective that he did not explicitly assume. This approach gives an oppor­tunity to discover not only the methodology of Bagdasar’s epistemological re­search, or a possible methodology for any “epistemological research”, but even Bag­dasar’s own (non-explicit) position in relation to what and how knowledge might be. Of these three main points of my research, a special attention will be paid to Bagdasar’s so called “systematic approach”, in order to reveal the non-explicit com­mitments on which he built his own conception of knowledge. The pragmatic analysis of the results obtained by Bagdasar in his Theory of knowledge allows the uncovering of some tacit assumptions that seem to contradict the position of neutrality he explicitly assumed.
