One major area focused on the limits of scientific knowledge, represented by Luis Villoro’s 1982 critique of scientism in Creer, Saber, Conocer, where he advocates a revaluation of “wisdom” (characterized as knowledge drawn from lived experiences), which in Villoro’s view is richly found in the “wise men” of traditional cultures; in this book he explores how human reason has operated throughout history and the extent to which it has led to situations of domination and/or emancipation from subjection.
