CONTRIBUTIONS TO ALTERNATIVE CONCEPTS OF KNOWLE...

In the past  the European social sciences labelled and discredited knowledge that did not
follow the definition for scientific knowledge as applied by the European social sciences as an
alternative concept of knowledge  as indigenous knowledge. Perception has changed with time:
Not only has indigenous knowledge become an entrance ticket to the European social science
world  but the indigenization of European theories is seen by some as the contribution of
peripheral social sciences to join the theories of the centers. This book offers contributions
to the discourses about alternative concepts of knowledge  inviting the reader to decide if
they are alternative  indigenous  or European types of knowledge. However  in order to make
this decision  the reader must know what the nature of the European concepts of science and of
scientific knowledge is  this might be a motivation to read a book that presents thoughts
claiming to be alternative concepts of knowledge  alternative to the European concept of
science.
