    La novedad del conocimiento humano: fuente perenne de toda innovación
    (Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, 2012) Irizar, Liliana Beatriz
    This article approaches a much studied subject from several disciplines. But it does so from under a less explored aspect: the characterization of human knowledge as an act of the spirit and, therefore, open to empirical and metaempirical –or immaterial- realities. The main objective of this essay is to demonstrate the fact that research and innovation, which are highly boosted and potentialized in several institutional spaces, cannot be separated from a vision of the intellectual knowledge that understands them within their genuine dimension, which is an act of the spirit, open to the whole reality and characterized by its immediacy, immateriality and intentionality. At the same time, the essay intends to remark that research and innovation are inextricably united to freedom and to the admiration foran intelligence that is free of the impositions of the techno system. To meet the objectives, the exposition consists of two parts: The first is about the nature or the essence of human knowledge and the second refers to freedom and admiration as conditions for research and innovation. The demonstrative argumentation of the philosophical speech is used all over the development of the subject.

    Lo que el dinero no puede comprar… ni la cienciometría medir. Una propuesta humanista del conocimiento frente al mercantilismo cienciométrico
    (Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, 2015-08-24) Irizar, Liliana Beatriz; Estupiñán Achury, Liliana; Noguera Pardo, Camilo; González Camargo, Javier; Barragán, Laura Camila
    The aim of this article is to show how the market triumphalism, denounced by Michael Sandel in his book What Money Can’t Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets, has also reached the research activity. Researchers are now ruthlessly crushed by a global system for quantification of research and knowledge whose background is a pragmatic and mercantilist view of science, conceived and designed according to technocratic-scientometric standards. This situation requires resetting and academically rigorous rethinking the human sense of research conceived as a social practice provided with a telos or an end in itself. In order to meet this goal, this paper is divided into four parts. The first reflects on the human sense of research. The second performs a diagnosis of the state of research particularly in Colombia with particular reference to the social sciences and humanities, analyzing the specific case of law and philosophy. In the third part the ideological background underlying scientometric standards is exposed. Finally, the fourth part examines the role of universities to meet the challenge of returning to research its true meaning.
