Historical transformation and epistemological discontinuity

Starting from recent formulas of EU bureaucracy for subordinating\udscientific and educational apparatuses to the needs of the capital and\udto the requests of its political representatives, the article analyses the interconnection\udbetween the historical transformation of the ideological state\udapparatuses (universities, higher education institutions, research institutes\udetc.) and the epistemological discontinuity provoked by the triumph of technosciences.\udThe hypothesis to be tested is the following: While the crisis of\udWest European-North American capitalism requires an ever tighter submission\udof ideological state apparatuses, and especially of scientific and academic\udapparatuses to the needs of the capital, theoretical practices in the humanities\udand social sciences have come to the point where they entered into\udan open conflict with the domination of the capital and have, as a consequence,\udstarted to subvert their own institutional supports in the ideological\udapparatuses of the capitalist state. For this purpose, the article reconsiders\udsocial sciences as a compromise formation and, eventually, reassesses the\udhistorical materialism as a non-Cartesian modern science
