Abstract
For Quine epistemology as it is traditionally approached in philosophy is mistaken because it is based on the untenable concept of foundationalism. However, Quine’s contribution to epistemology is not merely a destructive one; he comes up with a new theory. Anyone assessing this theory, naturalised epistemology, ultimately wants to know whether it provides an answer to the central questions of epistemology. In this paper it is discussed whether naturalised epistemology is bound to leave some of these questions unanswered.
