El olvido de los presupuestos de la ciencia y de la filosofía
Journal Title: Scientia et Fides - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The neglect of the presuppositions of science and philosophy This paper is based on the suggestion of Professor Artigas in order to bring to light the epistemological and ontological assumptions of scientific activity, warning about forgetting them. We focus particularly on an assumption of scientific knowledge: that the subject itself is known immediately. This fact reveals a kind of knowledge different from the framework subject-object. This knowledge is also at the origin of the philosophy, although it is often forgotten by philosophers. Finally we suggest a widening of the usual theory of truth, to incorporate every kind of knowledge and to be able to dialogue among very different kinds of truth and languages.
