A cognitive subject – whose individuality is based on dependence on other individualities – clarifies the notion of knowledge through an ecological model, where the environment is not only understood as a physical environment, but rather as a complex network of social, historical, material, geographic, cultural, institutional relationships. The cognitive subject is immersed in this network, along with his epistemic attempts, his aspirations and his cognitive ways. Epistemic activity is assessed on the basis of the success in promoting ecosystems committed to promoting a continuous increase in collective individual knowledge. Furthermore, epistemic activity is evaluated on the basis of success in promoting true and justified beliefs (This is the key point for a discussion on creativity of sentients). Cognitive subjects are not self-sufficient epistemic because they need interactions with other subjects.
