“…The idea to appeal to the Applied Philosophy as a whole is determined by the purpose of disseminating philosophical studies that have a direct practical dimension, address topics and issues in different areas of social life: economics, law, science, politics, medicine, education, etc. An example of this is The Routledge Handbook of Applied Epistemology, 2019 [10].…”

Focusing on the substantiation of the process of modernization of the model of philosophical education, the study aims to represent the turn to applied philosophy as a new educational and professional program for training the philosopher. The theoretical basis of the study consists of two main points: the economic position of social epistemology, within which the emphasis is on understanding the social process of knowledge production and distribution of cognitive work, which requires a basis of interdisciplinarity. As well as practical application of a competent approach to philosophical education, which requires its modernization in the context of the requests and practices of today. Scientific novelty is to justify a turn to applied philosophy in the training of professionals, which enables practice in real-world situations and contexts beyond the realm of philosophy. The normative content of the preparation of the Master of Applied Philosophy, which is provided with a complex of competencies, is first formulated in the main learning outcomes as a methodology, moderation, performance. Practical significance. New techniques introduced in the program of applied philosophy, aimed at the organization and presentation of applied philosophical and scientific project, the purpose of which is to make their own intellectual inquiry in the chosen practical and applied fields. The transition from a rigid academicism to the reinforced practical aspect of teaching philosophy is fully explained in order for a new understanding of the role of university education to be understood. Namely: to ensure that the student's knowledge does not remain misconstrued or misused.

La concepción epistemológica de las prácticas sociales de alfabetización inicial (PSAI) encierra las creencias y preferencias con respecto a la enseñanza del lenguaje escrito, por lo que un análisis detallado de esta llevaría a un entendimiento de los enfoques de enseñanza puestos en práctica. Con esto en mente, se condujo una investigación de corte documental que partió de la revisión de los referentes filosóficos que rigen las PSAI en Venezuela, así como los planteamientos de diferentes autores entre otros, con respecto a los principales enfoques epistemológicos; todo esto con el objetivo de comprender las prácticas sociales enmarcadas en la alfabetización inicial en el país. Como resultado principal se puede señalar que el enfoque introspectivo-vivencial es el camino por el que transitan las PSAI, arropadas por los postulados filosóficos de Simón Bolívar, Simón Rodríguez, Ezequiel Zamora, Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa y Belén Sanjuán.

“…Hence there has been some shift in the psychological literature away from asking why some people believe conspiracy theories to asking why some people suffer from conspiracism or conspiratorial ideation, where this is understood as a disposition to be overly willing to believe in conspiracies. I have spilt some ink debunking this literature elsewhere (Coady, 2019). Here I will confine myself to pointing out a few of the problems with it, before arguing that there is good reason to think these problems can't be fixed.…”

Conspiracy theory as heresy

Ever since the term 'conspiracy theory' was first popularised by the philosopher Sir Karl Popper in the 1950s, conspiracy theories have had a bad reputation. To call a theory 'a conspiracy theory' is to imply that it is false, and that the people who believe it or who would like to investigate it (i.e. 'conspiracy theorists') are irrational. Conspiracy theories are widely held to be not only false and the products of irrationality, but also to be particularly harmful; hence they are widely thought of as a problem, which might be solved, or at least mitigated, through the intervention of social scientists, psychologists, and even philosophers. The problem is typically thought of as being of quite recent origin, or at any rate, one which has recently been getting worse, especially in the age of COVID-19 when conspiracy theories are routinely spoken of as a threat to public safety and even to democracy itself.I think all of this is mistaken. Conspiracy theories are not a new or growing problem. In fact, conspiracy theories, as such, are not a problem at all. Contrary to conventional wisdom we do not have a problem with conspiracy theories; we do, however, have a problem with the term 'conspiracy theory', along with related terms, such as 'conspiracy theorist', 'conspiracism', and 'conspiracist ideation', and this problem really is quite new and increasingly widespread. The emergence and spread of a term has been conflated with the emergence and spread of a phenomenon to which that term putatively refers. As a society we have made a use-mention error; the spread of a piece of language has wrongly been taken for the spread of something corresponding to it in the world.The bad reputation of conspiracy theories is puzzling. After all, people do conspire. That is, they engage in secretive collective behaviour which is illegal or morally questionable. Conspiracies are common in all societies throughout history, and have always been particularly common in politics. Most people conspire some of the time, and some people (e.g. spies) conspire almost all the time. Since people conspire, there can't be anything wrong with believing they conspire, hence there can't be anything wrong with believing conspiracy theories. Thinking of conspiracy theories as characteristically false and irrational is like thinking of scientific theories in this way. It is as if we thought of phrenology as a paradigm of a scientific theory. Conspiracy theories, like scientific theories, and virtually any other category of theory, are sometimes true, sometimes false, sometimes believed on rational grounds, sometimes not.It will be objected at this point that I am assuming that a conspiracy theory is simply a theory according to which a conspiracy has taken place. While this may be the most straightforward way of understanding the term 'conspiracy theory', it is not the only way. In fact the literature contains a wide array of mutually contradictory definitions. I have considered many of these alternative definitions elsewhere and concluded that none of...
