The epistemological dimension revisited
Résumé
Epistemology and networking was discussed in the last CERME working group on theory. This paper aims to continue the discussion. I reflect on epistemological analysis and the cultural dimension of knowing and present examples which demonstrate how the changes in the cultural context influence the epistemological analysis. Then, I reconsider the epistemological dimension and the networking of theories. In some cases, the epistemological dimension permits the networking. In other cases, we notice how by means of networking, strong epistemological concerns in one theory might be integrated in another theory in a way that reinforces the underlying assumptions of this other theory. I end the paper with an example of networking that demonstrates how the social dimension might influence the epistemological analysis.
