Lesson 7 - Areas of knowledge
|
This first lesson of the second semester again addresses some of the issues central to the study of epistemology or the theory of knowledge, but this time we look through the perspective of five areas of knowledge: natural science, maths, human science, art and history. How do each of these subjects create knowledge? On what basis do these subjects make claims to know? |
We begin by comparing scientific knowledge to other kinds of knowledge.
