Abstract

The aim of the paper is to draw attention to some possibilities how the methods of formal epistemology can be used in the reflection of social sciences. First of all it is the theory of relativizations and the theory of re-codings and the related methods of the reconstruction of the potentialities and formal aspects of language. In the paper we further try to address some critical comments of Markéta Patáková formulated in her paper Predictions in Kvasz's Formal Epistemology in the Perspective of the Historical Method of Michel Foucault.
