Political Epistemology Class

Aule San Sebastiano

This class aims at articulating a critical philosophy of science based on
concrete historical cases taken from the history of science in a long-term and
cross-cultural perspective. The range of case studies will be from Mesopotamia,
India, China, and Europe. This is essential to reflect on the dynamics of
scientific developments, in order to critically construct a non-reductionist
theory of science. The political focus will consist in looking at science in relation
to its contexts of practice and material production, its societal dimensions and
its cultural politics.
The course will be arranged around three basic categories of science
as a cultural phenomenon:
1. Abstraction: the process of codification of knowledge considered in relation
to alienation;
2. Orientation: the ambivalent uses of science for exploration, political power
and transformation;
3. Valuation: the ideals of science as a contested political field.
The course will be taught by a collective of historians and philosophers of
science from Germany, India and Italy.
