One was that, although in both periods this school maintains on the same questions and a same concept, during the sensualist period the Experimental Philosophy was conformed by the Ideology, General and Logical Grammar; and its method was the rational method; whereas in the positivist period it was conformed by the Logic, Psychology, Biology and Sociology; and its method was the experimental method.The journal Memoria y Sociedad is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
