The post-obscurantism or the naturalization of the control towards the thought in the century XXI

Abstract

The present paper proposes to question some perspectives of the western culture, representative of the “knowledge” in the digital era. This tendency usess certain mechanisms to reproduces archaic ideas: they appear “animality”, “wild” or “primitive”. These ideas place man in a pristine and naive state, identified and determined to a wilderness, desert, peasant or rural, which motivates a lacerating social problem. Thus, the ideas remain to justify and reproduce a particular socioeconomic order that enhances scientific knowledge with the eurocentric model as “only true path”, but with the purpose of discrediting the knowledge and ethnic plurality of the world.
