Though the question “is learning possible?” seems preposterous, it is critical to note that at the beginning of philosophy, for reasons that continue to plague modern epistemologists, Plato insists that the answer to this question is “no.” We should note that this paradoxical claim follows from Plato’s narrow conception of knowledge. As we shall se...
Taking as its starting point the issues that Plato raises, the question of what can and cannot be learned through experience has constituted a major debate in modern epistemology and is at the heart of the disagreement between the rationalists (Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz) and the empiricists (Locke, Berkeley, and Hume).

Issues concerning a prioriknowledge place limits on learning by claiming that we have in our possession knowledge that cannot be learned through experience. However, there are also important theoretical considerations regarding the boundaries of a learning event. That is, there are important considerations concerning which changes in behavior are l...
The fourth question that ought to frame a philosophy of learning concerns the categorization of various knowledge kinds. After all, the learning process and the knowledge that results from that process presumably have an intimate connection. As such, the kind of knowledge that we possess may tell us something about the kind of learning that is requ...
In order to develop an adequate account of learning, we must examine the requirements that the systems and processes that perform learning have to fulfill. As such, we must ask about the nature of systems that are responsible for the input, processing, storage, and output stages of learning. In this entry, we focus on the problem of representation ...
