In this chapter, author begin with a certain temerity on an autobiographical note, sketching some of the reasons that prompted him/her to write a book called Epistemic Responsibility in the 1980s, after completing a PhD with a dissertation titled 'Knowledge and Subjectivity'. In writing Epistemic Responsibility, the author was attempting to fill a gap he/she could neither name nor describe - a gap where evaluative and interpretive judgments could find no place, seemingly because they could not 'boil down' to simple true-or-false empirical propositional claims, nor did they admit of evaluation - say, of nuance or relevance. The difficulty in bringing matters of responsible epistemic conduct into the then-going (late 1980s) conceptual frame is thus consequent upon the conception of subjectivity that has silently sustained the 'instituted' Anglo-American epistemic imaginary. Social epistemology involves more than adding a concept, or another variation, to a conceptual orthodoxy.
