FEAFN1101 Foundations of Knowledge
The study of knowledge has traditionally focussed on how individuals can justify their claims to know the world. Recent breakthroughs in the field of social knowledge challenge individualist assumptions by exploring the collective ways in which knowledge is discovered, developed, justified, and challenged across time, place, languages, and cultures. This unit introduces students to this exciting new field, exploring its critical potentials and applications to multiple disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. The unit aims to inform and power professional practice in the 21st century by familiarising students with a broad range of disciplinary perspectives on knowledge.
