2216A Philosopher in the Lab. Carl Stumpf on Philosophy and Experimental SciencesPhilosophia Scientiae 19 (19-3): 23-43. 2015.This essay addresses the interrelations between philosophy and experimental sciences that lie at the heart of Carl Stumpf’s epistemology. Following a biographical exposé demonstrating how Stumpf succeeded in acquiring a dual competence in both philosophical and scientific fields, we examine the vast array of academic disciplines encompassed by his research.

Il problema antropologico è al centro di un vivace ed aspro dibattito …Read more
