PRODUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE FOR THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL JUSTICE

Abstract

The text proposes the analysis of the text the relation between the production of knowledge and the practice of social justice. It can be seen that the epistemology of science today, based on modern reason, as it distances itself from the world of life, culture, tradition, religious expression, does not recognize as rational the knowledge produced as strategies for survival. This occurs not only in relation to the parameters of truth, but especially in relation to the method, associating science with technical truth, with weight in measurement. In practice, "injustice" in the process of knowledge production can be related specifically to the method and to the non-recognition of rationality of the singular knowledge produced in the practice of life production, benefiting some social segments in detriment of others.
