Abstract

In this section I would like to show how we can use some of the extant conceptual resources within the human — and social sciences — primarily Ludwick Fleck's epistemology, Empedocles's theory of perception and Peter Gärdenfors's cognitive science — in developing a doxology for our times. More specifically I would like to show how these resources may provide a possible explanation of the scientists' non-seeing of the images in the caves.
