This course aims to introduce students, from a historical and systematic perspective, to the main issues in the Philosophy of Knowledge, providing them with conceptual tools for critical reflection on its most important authors and schools of thought.

Competencies:
1. Identify the most relevant themes and problems of the epistemological theories under analysis and take a critical stance through historical contextualization.
2. Express personal positions through oral and written contributions in class and through the preparation of assignments.
3. Understand the transition from the ontological and objectivist paradigm of Antiquity and the Middle Ages to the epistemological and subjectivist paradigm of Modernity in the movements of rationalism, empiricism, and idealism.
4. Recognize contemporary philosophies of hermeneutics and phenomenology as paths to a metaphysical knowledge that presents itself as an alternative to the absolute positions of skepticism and dogmatism.
