Abstract

The epistemological dependence existing in the knowledge that integrates the current academic, scientific and socio-cultural work towards the different ways of knowing in the West, has resulted in a fragmentation and epistemic discrimination between experimental scientific knowledge, human sciences and ancestral and cultural knowledge. The present article "dialogue of knowledge in the human sciences", aims to investigate the imaginaries about the different types of knowledge that integrate the academic, scientific and sociocultural work in order to diagnose the current state of science for its revaluation. In order to fulfill this purpose, the problem of the fragmentation of knowledge in contemporary academic and scientific work is approached through a bibliographic and hermeneutic study of philosophers' texts on the subject as well as the analysis of the data obtained from the survey specially elaborated for this work. The problem addressed is related to the current academic tendency to consider as scientific knowledge only that which can be experimentally proven; thus evidencing a clear fragmentation and epistemic discrimination between experimental scientific knowledge, human sciences and ancestral cultural knowledge.
