Questioning Knowledge: At the Fringes of Reason

 

International Conference of Philosophy with special quest prof. Michel Weber, founder of the Centre for Philosophical Practice in Brussels

 

 

 

 

 

At the end of the past millennium natural science emerged as a paradigm of human knowledge in general. The rigor of its evidential standards, the elegance of its mathematical structure, the internal coherence of its received theories, and the predictive success of its experimental corroborations are viewed as an ideal which all other forms of knowledge should strive to achieve. This suggests that it is of utmost importance to explore systematically the various known attempts to question the function of knowledge and to access its relevance, to weight its grounds, and, last but not least, to explain its ostensible attractiveness in different cultural contexts. The present interdisciplinary workshop shall strive to sketch the possible answers of these questions.
