    Science and the Common People
    (Punta de Lanza Foundation, Bogota, Colombia, 1980) Fals-Borda, Orlando
    This document explores the interplay between people’s science, societal crises, and knowledge production. It delves into the moral, ideological, and structural breakdowns in contemporary scientific practices, proposing an approach to revalue and rearticulate repressed knowledges. The concept of “common science” or “popular science” is presented as a constructive alternative to dominant paradigms, emphasizing the integration of cultural, social, and practical dimensions into knowledge systems. Through critical analysis, it challenges established scientific norms and highlights the potential of grassroots knowledge for societal transformation.
