Evolutionary Epistemology

Evolutionary Epistemology approaches the growth of knowledge, especially scientific knowledge, in terms of evolutionary mechanisms. In other words, just as biological organisms evolve, so do the natural sciences and their practice and knowledge.

What this means is that the foundation we have today is bad, as it is the best that we know today, but our knowledge will continue to grow and the foundations from which we build, going forward, will continue to get better.
