Drawing on insights from the epistemological work of the Jaina philosophers of classical India, I argue in defense of epistemic pluralism, the view that there are different but equally valid ways of knowing the world. The version of epistemic pluralism I defend is stance pluralism, a pluralism about epistemic stances or perspectives, understood to be policies or stratagems of knowing. I reject the view that the correct way to characterize epistemic pluralism is as consisting in a pluralism about epistemic systems.

认知多元主义：从系统到立场

借鉴古典印度耆那教哲学家认识论著作的见解，我为认识多元论辩护，认为存在不同但同样有效的认识世界的方式。我所捍卫的认知多元主义版本是立场多元主义，一种关于认知立场或观点的多元主义，被理解为认知政策或策略。我反对这样一种观点，即刻画认知多元主义的正确方法在于认知系统的多元主义。
