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.
