Abstract
Mediante los procesos coloniales y neocoloniales, Occidente ha sabido imponer unahegemonía epistemológica a todo el mundo; lo cual repercute en los estándares académicos del saber, títulos, procedimientos y contenidos. En el presente artículo, el autor somete esta supuesta monocultura epistemológica a una deconstrucción intercultural. Las universidades europeas y latinoamericanas deben mucho a las anteriores, de la China, la India y las del ámbito árabe. Por otro lado, Abya Yala (nombre indígena de América) tenía antes de la Conquista ya una rica tradición epistemológica con instituciones del saber. La interculturación de la epistemología permite incluir en el conocimiento humano saberes muy distintos, entre ellos los saberes indígenas de los Andes.

In the present article, the author analyzes this supposed epistemological monoculture critically by means of intercultural deconstruction. European and Latin American universities owe much to the previous ones in China, India and the Arab world. On the other hand, Abya Yala (such is the indigenous name for “America”) already had a rich epistemological tradition with institutions of knowledge before the Conquest. The interculturation of epistemology makes it possible to include very different types of knowledge, including the indigenous knowledge of the Andes.
