Abstract

This work reflects on how the conceptions of the knowledgement are one of the roots of the modern man’s difficulties, it raises upon his resistances for the other’s acceptance, and the other is known like a threat, the different thoughts are projected as a danger. The companionship becomes conflictive and the collective projects are difficult. However, if an epistemologic conception doesn’t believe that the knowledgement is a representation of the real neither reveals the universal truths or essences, but considered as a human construction, developed by men to be situated in the world with relative security, depending on the histories of life, so one could develop an opened subjectivity and a good acceptance of the others, and admit the particular ways of seeing the real with the pleasure of living together.
