Abstract

The proposals of paradigmatic change, originating from postmodernistic tendencies, bring to light a new conception of reality, different from a euro-anthropocentric philosophical background, although they lack the ontological fundaments that hold the key to a world without asymmetries. Thus, they still become functional to the system, which, to preserve itself, makes more flexible it´s rigid positivistic epistemology pretending to fuse subject and object, while maintaining a reality which resides “outside” the observer, reaffirming the anthropocentric dichotomy nature/culture. To facilitate a world that lacks antagonisms and hierarchies, the ontology of unity formulates a human being that contains reality, proper to it´s own essence and form, different though similar, without anthropocentrisms, to that of any other being. Ergo, cosmo-knowledge is the process of re-apprehending oneself –since oneself is reality or totality–, using not only reason, but all the potentialities of an integral human being, which is human, natural, cosmic and whole.
