Humanities and discussions about its role in the 20th century

The pragmatist approach broke the traditional understanding of truth, because it believed that the veracity of any theory lies in its "capacity for work", that is, in how good it is in personal experience. But the most popular was the philosophy of science and technology, which put at the forefront the global problems generated by the scientific and technological revolution. The stumbling block between different schools of thought has become the humanities. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01
