Context 

Epistemology, as a complementary branch of the metaphysics of science, within the philosophy of science, offers us a demonstrative approach and a rigorous framework for assessing the truth values of scientific productions, both today and in the past. Beyond the sciences, the principles of epistemology can be applied to any system based on formal logic, enabling us to determine and prioritize the truth values of production in the humanities and social sciences, as well as in law.

The Full or Associate Professor will be placed under the supervision of the two co-directors of the ACPPS Research Center, Professor Ali BENMAKHLOUF and Assistant Professor Abdelouahab RGOUD.
