Human society has undergone unprecedented changes, driven by the sudden increase in communicating technological devices that surround us, keeping traces of a large amount of our daily activities. This extremely rapid evolution is associated with a fast adaptive dynamics that induces changes in our everyday practices and has consequences for the nature of human social relations. The rapidl…

We aim in this research project to investigate possible epistemological developments of the massive insertion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the dynamics of belief fixation. Starting from a Semiotic and Pragmaticist analysis, with emphasis on the philosophy of Charles Sanders Peirce, we will analyze questions about the sign relations existing between users of digit…
The aim of this project is to investigate possible epistemological implications of applying massive amount of data, known as Big Data, to the process of scientific discovery. The central problem that guides our investigation can be formulated as follows: What are the possible epistemological implications of employing Big Data analytics in the process of scientific discovery? From this cen…

The objective of this project is to investigate the epistemological implications of the use of massive amounts of data in the process of scientific discovery by serendipity. The concept of serendipity describes processes of scientific discovery by chance and sagacity when knowledge is produced unexpectedly. Emphasis will be given to analysis of the heuristic potential of open science prac…
The aim of this work, undertaken as part of a Master´s degree research project entitled "Information and Abduction in the Process of Scientific Discovery", is to deepen analysis of the concept of abduction. We will analyze the structure of abductive reasoning and its interdependence with inductive and deductive reasoning, explaining the heuristic exclusivity of abduction. Two central ques…
