Social appropriation of knowledge

Societies develop better if properly manage their collective intelligence. The generation of collective intelligence is mediated by the application of institutional facts directed towards the production, distribution, dissemination and use of knowledge. Among the facts that enable social appropriation of knowledge stand the management, academic, communicative and educational kind. People and institutions that manage these types of acts contribute to the creation of more open and just societies. Any process of social transformation mediated by knowledge management; it is anchored to an ethic that requires minimally two things: First understand that the knowledge and wisdom of humanity are the patrimony of all and, second, that the duty to disclose and democratize knowledge and knowledge is also everybody's business. Methodology: critical rationalism (Popper) and hermeneutics (Gadamer).
