History and Method in the Philosophy of Science of the 20th Century

History and Method in the Philosophy of Science of the twentieth century - In collecting the nineteenth-century legacy steeped in positivism and conventionalism, the twentieth century elaborates a vast epistemological critique that can be framed in two great traditions. The first line continues on the one hand the inductivism of Bacon, Hume, Mill, to insert the calculation of probabilities and the theories of confirmation; The second line, born in part as a reaction to the first, aims above all to enhance the historical sense of the scientific enterprise, distancing itself from the analytical approaches of the Anglo-American brand and from codified methodologies.
