 The claim for a Latin American science, guided by regional interests and ideological views, is in resonance with those philosophical and sociological studies, like that of Enrique Dussel (1995) which denounces the Eurocentric “myth of modernity” that justifies the superiority of European culture over Native American cultures. In turn, the need to contextualize scientific knowledge in the framework of social needs of a particular community also appears in the works of Rolando García (1981) under the concept of interdisciplinary research, that is, a research that combines different theoretical approaches in the search for solving localized social requirements.
