Resumen

En este artículo se establece una panorámica histórica contemporánea entre la topología y filosofía, y los conceptos que unen a las dos áreas. Asimismo, se examinan limitaciones formales y problemas filosóficos de la semántica de mundos posibles. Posteriormente se examinan los trabajos de filósofos de la ciencia: Daniel Kostić y Thommas Mormann, ellos revindican el uso de la topología en la filosofía, específicamente en la epistemología y metafísica. Finalmente, se propone a través del texto una tesis reivindicativa del uso de la topología en la filosofía.
