Un conocimiento innovador

Abstract

Knowledge’s nature has been a pivotal problem since the beginning of the history of thought. One of the clearest and reliable examples of knowledge is that produced by science and technology. Science and technology allows us to understand and transform the world. Since the origins of the Scientific Revolution in the seventeenth century, the idea of scientific knowledge has been related to ideas of economic and social progress that could have the power of transforming and modifying the world. One of themost revolutionaryconcepts of the twentieth centuryisthe notion of“gender”. The introduction of gender in different areas of knowledge has facilitated the comprehension that the controlled access to resources and opportunities are socially determined by behaviours, values, and attitudes that have nothing to do with biological sex.
