FROM EPISTEMOLOGY TO CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF HISTORY - MARTA PLES-BĘBEN

Discover a fascinating journey through the philosophy of Leon Brunschvicg, a once influential and now somewhat forgotten figure on the French philosophical scene. This book is an attempt to synthetically capture his thought, combining epistemological reflection with historiosophical reflection. Immerse yourself in the analysis of his concept, from epistemological assumptions to application in research on the history of Western culture.

• Synthetic approach to Leon Brunschvicg's philosophy
• Combination of epistemology and philosophy of history

• Critical reflection on the history of human thought

This book is a key to understanding the relationship between the various elements of Brunschvicg's philosophical conception. The works from different periods of his work, seemingly distant from each other, are in fact the next stages of the implementation of a single project. This project, based on a critical reflection on the history of human thought, is intended to enable reflection on cognition and reason that manifests itself in the history of knowledge. In this way, in Brunschvicg's philosophy, transcendentalism combines with the study of the history of reason.
