The maker's knowledge tradition and his relationship between skepticism

Abstract

The text discusses the existence of a philosophical tradition known as the "maker´s knowledge tradition" asserting that to know implies creating or producing what is known. This conception underwent a significant shift in the 17th century. The identity between truth and making, which characterized God's knowledge during the Middle Ages, becomes the hallmark of human knowledge. Danilo Marcondes places this tradition within the skeptical issues of Modernity. The aim of the work is to analyze whether this perspective is merely one of the many possible variants or if it adequately represents the contextualization of the tradition as a pure expression of modern skepticism.
