The direction concerns the philosophical foundations of scientific knowledge: epistemology, methodology, the relation between science and philosophy and the cosmological questions of knowledge. The centre’s statute lists the philosophy of the sciences (including the philosophy of the sciences of linguistics) among the applied research directions.
