Project Aristotelian Science

The project Aristotelian Science aims to reconstruct Aristotle’s philosophy of science and its medieval counterpart (1250-1330) from a socio-epistemological perspective - science understood as the production and transmission of scientific knowledge by means of social methods and pieces of evidence. One of the aims of the project is to clarify the methodological role that dialectic plays in Aristotle’s conception of science and how this role was interpreted and revised in commentaries on Aristotle’s Topics and Posterior Analytics from the medieval period (1250-1330). Aristotelian Science is the continuation of the Topica project and is also linked to a Wallenberg Fellowship, prolongation grant, by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
