 In Creer, saber, conocer, a book that belongs to the analytical tradition, Villoro develops an epistemology that eliminates truth from the definition of knowledge in order to make sense of the historical and political dimensions of epistemology in practice. For Villoro, “to know p” is “to believe p with sufficiently objective reasons”. And one’s reasons for believing that p are sufficiently objective if they are conclusive, complete, and coherent, regardless of who sustains p.  However, one’s reasons can be sufficiently objective in one epistemic community but not another. This leads to an epistemic relativism accepted by Villoro as the only way to respond to the challenge of skepticism (see related entry on  epistemology in Latin America).  In “Filosofía y dominación” (1978), he sustained that philosophy must always critique inherited and imposed beliefs by exercising the independent use of reason, that is, without becoming ideological.
