L'épistémologie : une enquête indépendante ? À propos du texte de P.-H. Castel Psychanalyse et épistémologie : comment s'extraire de l'impasse actuelle ?

This commentary on Castel's epistemological proposal (2018) is intended to be a complement developed around two main arguments: (1) the necessary independent position required by the epistemological approach of psychoanalysis and (2) the use of scientific holism (confirmation holism and semantic holism) as the foundation of psychoanalytic knowledge of scientific nature. These two axes of reflection are proposed as conditions of access to a legitimate epistemology.
