Abstract

FORNET-BETANCOURT, Raúl. From the theoretical contemplative knowledge to the domineering and destructive knowledge. Valenciana [online]. 2018, vol.11, n.21, pp.323-346. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v0i21.361.

In this article, we raise the issue of an epistemological rupture within European intellectual history. The passage from a theoretical contemplative knowledge, to a dominating technical knowledge. Change that had implications not only in the field of science, but also in economics and politics. The reflection on the change of orientation is made in the light of an intercultural dialogue, that proposes the recovery of experiential knowledge as alternative wisdom present in many cultures.

Keywords : Theoretical knowledge; Technical knowledge; Epistemological rupture; Intercultural dialogue.
