Natural Kinds and Classification in Scientific Practice Quotes

“Knowledge and adjudication of methods of investigation (whether epistemological, metaphysical, or valuative) are the result of loops of reflectiveness that – in a multi-agent system – construct the grounds for objective knowledge through intersubjective judgements. Simply put, evaluations rely on what people think, what they do, how they do it, and how they communicate it to others. These evaluations are dependent on the epistemic capabilities of individuals and are multiply instantiated within systems of practice.”
