Our intuition consists in consolidating the theoretical-epistêmic systematization resulting from a social theory that is built in the interfaces of a Dialogue of Knowledge between the different subjects and the different roots that give theoretical-epistêmic and methodological support to a Latin-American and Caribbean Social Thought.
