The Empty Mind and Clear Heart Part 3
The article discusses the concept of "epistemic rupture," which refers to the separation or disconnection between different stages and categories of knowledge—particularly between precise scientific knowledge and prevalent popular knowledge—and the evolution of thought throughout history. It explains that this gap has led to the emergence of knowledge voids that allow superstitious and fundamentalist religious ideas to take hold. Additionally, it has contributed to weakening the relationship between humans and their historical roots, leading to the perception of humans as beings without clear origins. The philosopher Michel Foucault is highlighted as a prominent figure who addressed this rupture, clarifying that Western knowledge has experienced crises that necessitate creating gaps to reshape it. He also pointed out that humans themselves do not constitute a fixed origin but are beings whose origins are lost and who are isolated within a void of time. The article emphasizes that understanding humans and their history requires moving beyond traditional approaches and that contemporary knowledge is increasingly drawn from unconventional sources—such as books by charlatans or unreliable references—to reflect distortions in the trajectory of knowledge pursuit.
