Una meditación de la ciencia

this article, which consists of three parts, intends to call attention to the need to review our concept of science from the inter-cultural horizon of an honest dialog among humanity？s different epistemological sources. the first part explains why it is not enough to just ？think？ science, but it is necessary to go farther and ？meditate？ on its meaning. the second part is dedicated to specifying the modern western concept of science as far as it represents the paradigmatic model of science imposed worldwide. over the background of what has been explained, the third part centers on criticism of the principles that characterize modern western science and sketches some perspectives for an intercultural overcoming of this hegemonic concept of science.
