Epistemological scopes of the social and humanistic sciences and their problems for the approach to reality

The epistemological problematic of the study of the social and humanistic sciences is assumed; its approaches to the nature of knowledge, its formation and risks or limitations. It also looks at critical aspects of the concepts of truth, knowledge and science from the approaches of F. Nietzsche and M. Foucault. They question positivist reductionism and point out the difficulties of neutrality in science due to the external influences of power relations and other existing interests. However, we believe it is important to develop a holistic and interdisciplinary view of science in order to prevent reductionism and to achieve a broader, humanistic but rigorous knowledge.
