Epistemic logic and doxastic logic in the nature-community relationship of life. Bioculturality, between hegemonic discourse and other sentiment.

Abstract

In this work, I am going to refer to the consideration of man-nature as a reference of the basic relationship of the human being with what surrounds him. Initially, it can be pointed out that the different manifestations of this relationship can be seen from the civilizational proposals in different times and spaces.

Among the most relevant manifestations are the indigenous, those of Caribbean, Eastern and African cultures, in addition and very peculiarly the West. Precisely referring to the latter, in its own etymology we find its design, from the root, kad (cas, cis) which marks the idea of "fall" (cadere: to fall), "occidens", being the present participle of "occidere" (to fall to the ground, to perish, to set).

Referring to the relationship between Nature and the Community of Life becomes a reconversion of thought towards epistemic justice or justice in the generation of knowledge from the dialogue of knowledge. The epistemic logic that has prevailed from the man-nature binomial, especially from the "West", has exposed the unreasonableness of the mechanisms of exploitation of the former over the latter. On the other hand, from a doxastic logic that contemplates the living and feeling of an individual or a collectivity, it brings us closer to the other possibilities of thinking and sowing knowledge, as well as the methodological paths to access the transformation of the near and distant environment.

Thus, the notion of Bioculturality will have to be reviewed from its origin and applicability. From a doxastic logic, the bios is then proposed as life in its broadest conception and not only referred to ecology; culturality, on the other hand, is assumed as the quality of what implies a transformation from the anthropic and not only the set of practices on certain processes related to the ways of life of a community.

This anthropic transformation is today co-opted by an epistemic logic that continues to seek, even separately, the role of man in nature and not the consideration of the community of life as part of Pachamama, of Mother Earth, of Nature.
