Epistemology of Civility
Abstract
This is an extended abstract of the book "Epistemology of Civility", written by Alejandro Vaillant Valdes, and originally published in 2024. The book proposes an epistemology of civility grounded in the possibilities offered by incompleteness, contradiction, and subjectivity. It critiques post-truth culture and the institutional normalization of psychological disorders within power structures. By analyzing contemporary social crises as both systemic failures and expressions of subjective disorder, the work offers insights on how to achieve a stage of social development capable of creating the conditions for sustainable coexistence.The PDF also includes the book's table of contents and bibliographic references. This record provides a DOI for permanent citation.
