Prof. Rizzi defends the notion that we know things about the world prior to doing science in the modern sense, and that this primary knowledge is the continuing presupposition of doing science or anything else. This course aims to place modern science in the wider context of human knowledge from which it can only escape by way of forgetfulness.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
