Introduction to Critical Thinking [2492]
This course provides an introduction to critical thinking through the study of epistemology, or the philosophy of knowledge.

Introduction to critical thinking. Part II
The modern epistemological problem has two aspects:
1. The opposition between science and philosophy or truth and error. We find this basically in Descartes and Kant.
2. The conflict between science and science or that of contemporary and classic physics and not an opposition between science and philosophy or truth and error.
