الوصف:Introduction. Traditionally, types of knowledge have been categorized as popular, religious, and scientific; however, their construction is a complex phenomenon that depends on the interaction between the subject and their environment. Currently, the most evident type is that which arises in higher education institutions, favoring useful and rapid knowledge, as well as the quantity of knowledge produced, often limiting critical reflection. Objective. To analyze the construction of knowledge from its philosophical, social, political, and ethical dimensions, as well as the challenges it faces in the current context. Discussion. The text questions the production and use of knowledge in today's university, enslaved by market logics, losing the critical, profound, and ethical sense of knowledge, subjected to speed and profitability. It hints at the risk of transforming subjects into mere consumers of information. Conclusions. It is concluded that Knowledge must regain its ethical and transformative dimension, moving away from the positivist logic of the market, in such a way as to respond to current social challenges and contribute to integral human development.
