BLANCO ILARI, Juan Ignacio. The principle of “external” knowledge and the discredit of experience. Enfoques [online]. 2015, vol.27, n.1, pp.29-50. ISSN 1669-2721.

The present work shows the difficult relationship that objectifying knowledge has with the experience of common sense. Articulates the objectivist paradigm (such as “external” knowledge) and shows a paradox (the paradox of change the subjet) adhered to the pattern of cognitivism. In this way, it tries to argue for a pluralism of views without hierarchy of one. That is, trying to restore experience to the place lost in the canon of knowledge. To this end, the tension between internal knowledge-external knowledge is developed and shows the scope and limits of the second.
