Temario para el Curso Propedéutico de Epistemología del Posgrado en Filosofía de la Ciencia

Objetivo general: Ofrecer una visión amplia y un entendimiento detallado de algunos distintos debates que han dado forma a la teoría del conocimiento a través de su historia, y de los argumentos centrales en esos debates. Se busca que el curso proporcione una visión amplia e incluyente de esta disciplina, de manera que los alumnos entiendan a profundidad distintos temas centrales en la teoría del conocimiento. Esto dará a los estudiantes una visión panorámica de los distintos temas y metodologías disponibles para estudiar la epistemología.

Objetivos particulares: El curso expondrá a los alumnos a una variedad de temas centrales selectos en la epistemología desde la antigüedad hasta nuestros días. Se estudiarán con detalle los textos asignados y se desarrollarán en clase los principales argumentos. También se fomentará la discusión crítica de esos argumentos en clase. En todo este proceso se buscará que los alumnos participen activamente en el análisis y escrutinio de las posturas a discutir. Se cubrirán los siguientes temas: preocupaciones sobre el conocimiento en la Filosofía Griega antigua, el problema del escepticismo en la Filosofía Moderna, el problema de Gettier y su recepción en la Epistemología del siglo XX, y nuevas tendencias en Epistemología.

Evaluación: Los alumnos tendrán que elaborar respuestas cortas (no más de 500 palabras) a una pregunta concisa algunos de los temas discutidos en clase. Cada una tendrá un valor de 20%, para un total del 40%. La primera respuesta se entregará el 13 de marzo; la segunda, el 8 de mayo. El restante 60% será evaluado con un trabajo final (con una extensión de 3500 palabras) sobre un tema a elegir por el alumno. El trabajo final debe entregarse el 29 de mayo. Los criterios de evaluación para el trabajo final serán distribuidos en la primera semana de clase.
