Descripción
Sumario:This work proposes a series of philosophical and epistemic arguments that encourage citizen participation based on epistemic practices and the argumentative model proposed by Stephen Toulmin. In the first part, the notion of knowledge is elucidated and how it is based on objectively sufficient reasons from the epistemic communities. Later, the concept of practice is developed as an epistemic argument to strengthen citizen participation. Finally, relying on the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the COVID-19 disease, we return to elements of Toulmin’s argumentative model to demonstrate that an epistemological and philosophical basis is essential to establish legitimate citizen participation for the development of societies. based on knowledge.
