Violence and Generosity: An Epistemic Approach
Keywords:
epistemic, principle of charity, generosity, phenomenology, pragmatism, cultural diversityAbstract
This paper represents an attempt to show how it would be possible to lay the moral structures of human action on the epistemic structures of knowledge. To do so, a critical-phenomenological stance will be adopted, incidentally referring to the Italian philosophical tradition. At the end, the principle of charity will be presented as a basic epistemic feature, that allows our immediate experience to be brought onto a rational universality that only makes interaction possible.
