Quine's Epistemology

Just as he challenged the dominant analytic-synthetic distinction, 
Quine also took aim at traditional normative epistemology. According 
to Quine, normative epistemology is the trend that assigns ought 
claims to conditions of knowledge. This approach, he argued, has 
failed to give us any real understanding of the necessary and 
sufficient conditions for knowledge. Quine recommended that, as an 
alternative, we look to natural sciences like psychology for a full 
explanation of knowledge. Thus, we must totally replace our entire 
epistemological paradigm. Quine's proposal is extremely controversial 
among contemporary philosphers and has several important critics, 
with Jaegwon Kim the most prominent among them.[3]
