by Giano Rocca
Biography:
Giano Rocca was born in a village of the Langhe, called Roccaverano. He moved to Turin at the age of 18, he attended the University of this city, a pupil of Norberto Bobbio, of which he especially enjoyed the ability to give up totally to own beliefs, when these have proved fallacious, which is, moreover, the principle basic of the scientific method, which she led him to accept of the Socratic principle: “I know that i do not know”. If philosophy demonstrates, as well, of be able to recognize its failure, in the absence of the adoption of scientific method systematically, it is evident that, in the absence of a philosophy of history, based on scientific methods, the study of history and of the so-called “social sciences” it is totally useless and misleading, as it comes to studies based on ideological criteria or knowledge, without the fundamental basis of demonstrability or, alternatively, of the falsifiability.
This study responds to the need, felt as urgently, of lay the foundations of a genuine science of society, because able to base own hypotheses and theories on fully verifiable factors and can, therefore, be an element of progress of knowledge, if these assumptions and theories will be corroborated by comparison with the reality of the socio-economic events.
