Abstract
PEREZ RUIZ, Maya Lorena and ARGUETA VILLAMAR, Arturo. Saberes indígenas y dialogo intercultural. Cultura representaciones soc [online]. 2011, vol.5, n.10, pp.31-56. ISSN 2007-8110.
Indigenous knowledge and intercultural dialogue. We approach the discussion about the way in which science has faced the knowledge that is considered "not scientific", and even though certain disciplines have carried out great contributions by showing the process of ideology of sciences and by playing down the western science, it has not still been recognized that indigenous knowledge is a type and method of knowledge through which it is possible to talk in a horizontal way, without being the so called scientific disciplines the ones that impose the methods of validation and selection of knowledge. The debate moves, then, towards the epistemological status of the so called indigenous, traditional or local knowledge, opposite to the statute of scientific and rationality that protects the set of knowledge generated from the different disciplines validated as scientific.
