摘要：The text is divided into two parts, the first one opens the discussion of truth with the Theory of Scientific Knowledge, identifying internal limits to the modern pretension. The knowledge construction perspective through modernity brought tremendous benefits to the mankind. On the other side, it brought the growing omnipotent pretension of the human reason, that seeks in science the answers to all the questions of the human being. It is a model of knowledge construction that is claiming the status of a model par excellence in knowledge construction, taken as a result of an objectifying act of thinking. The second part discusses that criticism has grown contemporaneously in such a way to relate itself to knowledge, that seeks in the post-cartesian notion of knowledge the omnipotent rational subject, who wants to have the primacy of thought, as exclusive, in the production of knowledge. The criticism that arises is precisely in this contradiction, in realizing that such a model cannot respond for its assumptions, this is, the realm of reason on the totality of knowledge. Thus, conditions arise to reflect on a new knowledge, based on the question of the tradition appropriation that in an educational context refers to the expectation of overcoming such limits.
