What is Traditional Epistemology? Traditional Epistemology is the branch of Epistemology that assumes that human beings share a vast common knowledge that can be translated into propositional or ‘rational’ form. That is knowledge of the type that can be understood as knowing that in opposition to knowing how. The consequence of such definition is that no knowledge form either than the propositional one is given the status of knowledge. Mainstream epistemologists also ignore the identity of the knower. That means that traditional epistemology assumes a commonality amongst knowers be them a five-year-old child or a university professor. Traditional Epistemologist therefore argues for the existence of a universal knower. The consequence of considering this universal knower is that the responsibility over which knowledge goes into AI systems is taken away from its builders creating the illusion that the knowledge contained in AI comes from nowhere.
