SOBRE LOS CAMBIOS DE PERSPECTIVA EN EL CONOCIMIENTO by LUZ MARINA BARRETO

“…El propósito de este artículo es explorar el significado y los alcances de los cambios de perspectiva que a veces ocurren cuando vemos las cosas desde el punto de vista teórico, al producirse un cambio de paradigma en el conocimiento, o, si las vemos desde el uso práctico de la razón, cuando se produce un cambio en la personalidad o una "conversión". La mera cuestión sobre la posibilidad de un cambio radical de perspectiva es filosófica en un sentido profundo: sugiere la existencia de un campo de conocimiento metafísico que sería "libre" respecto de las proyecciones categoriales específicas y determinaciones que descansan en el sujeto de conocimiento, de manera que sería posible ver las cosas desde un punto de vista radicalmente diferente, uno que no sería posible sino al interior de un paradigma. …”
