Systematic Knowledge Research. Rethinking Epistemology
Abstract
Abstract: Systematic Knowledge Research is the approach used to (i) describe the peculiar profiles of various forms of knowledge (such as, e.g., conceptual and non-conceptual knowledge; explicit and implicit knowledge; knowing-how and knowing-that). It (ii) investigates the points of overlap between the various kinds of knowledge forms, and it (iii) elucidates the mechanisms of interpenetration between those forms. Systematic Knowledge Research (iv) grasps the dynamic of various forms of knowledge and their interplay, and (v) describes the practices and the manifestations of knowledge. Knowledge Research provides analyses and suggestions for modeling each of the five fields as well as their interconnections. These objectives make a difference between Systematic Knowledge Research on the one hand, and traditional theory of knowledge and varieties of science studies on the other. Knowledge Research meets the current desideratum to systematically broaden and revise the house of epistemology.

La ricerca sistematica sul sapere. Ripensare l’epistemologia
Riassunto: Systematic Knowledge Research è il nome di un approccio adottato per (i) descrivere il profilo caratteristico di varie forme di sapere (per esempio, tra gli altri, il sapere concettuale e non-concettuale; il sapere esplicito e implicito; il sapere-come e il sapere-che). Questo approccio (ii) indaga le sovrapposizioni tra le diverse tipologie di forme del sapere e (iii) chiarifica i meccanismi della loro compenetrazione. La Systematic Knowledge Research (iv) coglie le dinamiche di varie forme di sapere, la loro cooperazione, (v) descrivendo le pratiche e i modi di manifestazione del sapere. La Knowledge Research propone analisi e suggerimenti per modellare ognuno dei cinque campi d’indagine sopra menzionati, unitamente alle loro interconnessioni. Perseguire questi obiettivi segna la diversità tra l’approccio della Systematic Knowledge Research da una parte e quello della teoria della conoscenza tradizionale e dei diversi tipi di Science Studies dall’altra. La Knowledge Research viene incontro all’aspettativa contemporanea tesa all’ampliamento e alla revisione sistematica del territorio dell’epistemologia.
