HISTORY OF CONTEMPORARY EPISTEMOLOGY

The course aims to outline the main currents and schools of epistemology in the ’900, with particular attention on the human sciences and psychology, in order to provide students with a better understanding of the debate on the scientific status of the various disciplines.

The course is divided into a general and monographic part. The general part will be devoted to a presentation of historical epistemology between between the ages of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The monographic section will be devoted to the epistemology of complexity.
