Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In this article, the author highlights the crucial importance of contemporary epistemology-as articulated by Robert Blanché-for structuring philosophical education in Algeria.Building on Dr. M. Yaqoubi's work, the paper emphasizes his project of translating and introducing Blanché's foundational texts into Arabic to equip Algerian students and instructors with rigorous conceptual tools.The primary aim is twofold: first, to map out the major strands of modern theory of knowledge in Blanché's work (the interplay between formal logic and natural thought, dynamic mathematical rationality, and the construction of relational models); second, to show how Yaqoubi integrated these strands into an -epistemological lesson design,‖ meaning the precise planning of key notions and the enrichment of philosophical vocabulary in Arabic.The results demonstrate that, through his careful translations and pedagogical method, Yaqoubi not only clarified the concept of epistemology for a Franco-Arabophone audience but also laid the groundwork for a coherent, contextually adapted epistemological curriculum in Algeriapaving the way for philosophical inquiry more deeply rooted in local scientific and cultural realities.Citation
