This opus puts the finger on aspects that are little or never mentioned, such as epistemological paradigms, epistemological theories and epistemological concepts. It also introduces little-known epistemological methods such as formal analysis and mathematical analysis. But it does not break with epistemological tradition, as it revisits epistemological classics such as the origin, objects and analytical tools of epistemology. All the major authors in the field are included. The book has a pedagogical ambition in view of its target audience, namely African students.
