Abstract

Evolutionary epistemology has been developed in various historical stages that responds to different approaches, namely, adaptationism, non-adaptationism and interactionism. This paper gives an account of three approaches in terms of the hot debate on confirming the mechanism of biological evolution and elucidates why these approaches have been developed in different contexts. It is suggested that the development of evolutionary epistemology should be of implications on the studies of epistemology.
