Introduction to historical and social epistemology
Part A) Introduction to historical epistemology
In first part of the course I will introduce the main epistemological debates of the XX century such as: continuity vs discontinuity, internalism vs externalism, unity of science vs plurality of sciences. Furthermore, I will discuss the main protagonists of these debates.
Part B) Science, Technology, Society and problems of scientific communications
In the second part of the course, I will introduce the research field of Social Studies of Science and its major epistemological consequences. This will be carry out through the analysis of case studies of technoscientific controversies involving scientists (or experts) and their public. These discussions will allow as to clarify the relations between scientific knowledge and scientific information and the distinction between bad and good forms of scientific popularization.
