This course is dedicated to the analysis and discussion of the statute and of the relationships that subsist among the 'tools', 'methods' and 'objects' of the scientific research in the humanities. Since these are the three interrelated poles around which today's academic practice takes place, they deserve careful and critical scrutiny.
Understanding the correlations that bind together the 'tools', the 'methods' and the 'objects' of research.
No prerequisites are required.
