Abstract

This article puts into dialogue the reflections of the German philosopher Klaus Heinrich about the Free University of Berlin with the reflections about the Central American University in San Salvador of the Spanish Salvadorian philosopher and theologian Ignacio Ellacuría. It shows how both reactualize creatively biblical intuitions to gain an integral concept of knowing which is at the same time theoretical and practical, affective, critical and liberating. In the current context this holistic concept can serve as a starting point to criticize the predominance of the neoliberal university and its unidimensional understanding of knowledge.
