Epistemology and Analysis of Language Practices

Two approaches to epistemological research are considered in the paper. The first one is based on positive consideration of language practices. Cognition is discussed as a kind of language activity. Hence epistemological research is possible as a part of some complex interdisciplinary project which also includes linguistic, sociological, psychological and other researches. The second approach is based on a consideration of the above interdisciplinary project as a kind of cognition. This means that any positive research is in its turn an object of epistemology. The latter cannot so be a part of any positive research, but turns to be specific philosophical discipline. An object of this discipline is cognition in general.
