Julián Serna Arango invites academia to periodically sacrifice its dogmas, no matter how consolidated they may be in its pedagogical practices and lexicon. Through an analysis that connects philosophy with a science that has outgrown its bounds, the author explores elusive concepts such as freedom and time, offering the reader a path to keep the future open in the face of instrumental rationality and the selfish behavior of our reptilian heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work starts from the premise that knowledge and established certainties must be questioned periodically so as not to stagnate. Julián Serna Arango compares this process to initiation rituals, where academia must sacrifice its truths, even those enthroned in its pedagogical practices and habitual lexicon. The author maintains that it is imperative to keep the future open, challenging basic and selfish behavior of a reptilian strain, fueled by an instrumental rationality that limits our capacity for evolution. Drawing on hints offered by a science that has outgrown its bounds, the book delves into reflections on increasingly elusive concepts, such as freedom and time, demonstrating that the universe is, in short, counterintuitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe need to unlearn and update academic certainties.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe critique of instrumental rationality and inherited selfish behavior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe philosophy of science and its relationship with elusive concepts such as freedom and time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe renewal of pedagogical practices and academic lexicon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOpening the future to face established dogmas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at philosophers, educators, students of social sciences and humanities, and all those interested in the theory of knowledge and the philosophy of science.
