Resumen:
Sumario:For a long time, as a political form, knowledge has bound itself to polis’ activities. In western history, from Socrates and Plato to the foundation of the modern public arena, it has been a constant answer to the attempts for balance in community life. In its contemporary form, knowledge has attended the imperatives of the so-called information society, occasion in which it encounters new contingencies – among them, maybe one of the most significant, is the progressive unencumbering of human understanding with the logical appraisals that involve its production. Increasingly submitted to a type of accounting rationale, production of knowledge is drained by artificial intelligence devices, which provide for the declared production of measured results. In summary, in favoring the increase of data commutation and its respective internal intelligibility mechanisms, the appraisal logic promotes the unencumbering of understanding as political expression, which assessment of value would express the specifics of each scientific field. As a working hypothesis, a retraction of the human immanence (Sodré, 2014) is proposed in the constitution of contemporary human knowledge.
