Because of the importance of the issue, it is worth adding a further and more general argument for the necessity for considcring the genesis of knowledge. This argument is based on the reality of knowledge growledge growth. As history illustrates, knowledge is basperpetually in a state of change in every discipline, including mathematics. Epistemology is not accounting adequately for knowledge if it concentrates only on a single static formulation, and ignores the dynamics of knowledge growth.It is like reviewing a film on the basis of a detailed scrutiny of asingle key frame! Thus epistemology must concern itself with the basis of knowing, with the underpins the dynamics of knowledge growth, as well as with the specific body of knowledge accepted at any one time.
