Key thinkers:
Lyotard
Foucault
Gadamer
Kuhn
Main texts used:
The Post Modern Condition
Truth And Method
The Scientific Revolution
The Archaeology Of Knowledge
Other texts used:
The Philosophy Of Science
Theology And Scientific Knowledge
The Passion Of The Western Mind
I have used these texts and studied these thinkers in order to explore the concepts of truth and knowledge. Lyotard has given me an insight into the way science and technology function in the post modern condition and Kuhn has shown the alternative possibilities for the development of science. I have studied Foucault to understand the nature of power and how it relates to knowledge.
