Resumen
GANDARILLA SALGADO, José Guadalupe. The university entering the XXI century: By the labyrinth of complexity. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2010, vol.32, n.127, pp.130-143. ISSN 0185-2698.
The author proposes to review the philosophic and epistemology fundamentals on which modern scientific knowledge is based. The objective is to explore the way in which occidental thinking has built a kind of science through the concepts of logos and episteme in opposition to myth and doxa. Later, a review is provided on how these concepts operate in the organization of dominant knowledge by means of a construction of academic disciplines, separated in the physic-natural and humanist traditions in the center of a modern University. In its contemporaneous form, it considers the way capitalism works in such an institution; this is done on the framework of tension for the possible instrumentalization of all knowledge. The paper promotes an alternative proposal that tries to get out of disciplinary framework with the main objective of building a critical way of approaching reality through the recognition of its complexity.
