Within the intellectual framework of contemporary philosophy: from paradigm to epistemology

Abstract

The concept of ideology represents one of the ambiguous concepts, and despite philosophy’s claims to exclude illusion and the importance of remaining an open question to various possibilities for an answer, its reality indicates that it constantly falls into the trap of dogmatic judgments, and the various sects and followers of philosophers remain undeniable evidence. There is no ambiguity regarding the presence of ideology and its significant impact in shaping the form of philosophy in the end.

These papers discuss two of the most prominent concepts that undermined traditional perceptions, whether about reading the history of science, in the case of Thomas Kuhn, or about the structure of scientific revolutions. The concept of epistemology, according to Michel Foucault, occupies a problematic position that has essentially invaded philosophical studies. To spread in all types of knowledge and studies, whether scientific, linguistic, religious, or political, the concept was developed and invented by Michel Foucault until it became a milestone in contemporary studies in the field of human sciences and pure sciences in the case of Thomas Kuhn
