Resumo: Criticism of any concept necessarily involves the ability to understand its origins and scope. Perhaps one of the saddest legacies of post-modernity is denial, when it is understood that it is part of a strategy of domination based on a declared war on Science and Reason. The main scope of this essay is, therefore, to put some basic questions about the origin of scientific denial on the table, even though for them there are no definitive answers. For example, to what extent is it part of a process of valuing fanaticism and individualism? Can the lack of institutionalized scientific dissemination be considered a cause of the current negationism in our country? Is negationism related to the general problem of education? Is there a way to identify its pillars in contemporary society? These are some questions that are discussed in this paper, to which it is urgent to find answers if we are to avoid a huge sociocultural setback.

Quizás uno de los legados más tristes de la posmodernidad sea la negación, cuando se entiende que forma parte de una estrategia de dominación basada en una guerra declarada a la Ciencia y la Razón. El objetivo principal de este ensayo es, por tanto, poner sobre la mesa algunas cuestiones básicas sobre el origen de la negación científica, aunque para ellas no existen respuestas definitivas. Por ejemplo, ¿en qué medida forma parte de un proceso de valoración del fanatismo y el individualismo? ¿La negación está relacionada con el problema general de la educación? ¿Existe alguna forma de identificar sus pilares en la sociedad contemporánea? Estas son algunas preguntas que si discutirá en este artículo, a las que es urgente encontrar respuestas si queremos evitar un gran revés sociocultural.A crítica de qualquer conceito passa necessariamente pela capacidade de se compreender suas origens e sua esfera de alcance. Talvez um dos legados mais tristes da pós-modernidade seja o negacionismo, quando se compreende que ele faz parte de uma estratégia de dominação a partir de uma guerra declarada à Ciência e à Razão. O escopo principal desse ensaio é, portanto, colocar algumas questões básicas sobre a origem do negacionismo científico na mesa, ainda que para elas não se tenham respostas definitivas. Por exemplo, em que medida ele se insere num processo de valorização do fanatismo e do individualismo? A falta de uma divulgação científica institucionalizada pode ser considerada uma causa do negacionismo vigente em nosso país? Está o negacionismo relacionado ao problema geral da educação? Há como identificar seus pilares na sociedade contemporânea? Essas são algumas perguntas que serão discutidas aqui, para as quais é urgente que se encontrem respostas, se desejamos evitar um enorme retrocesso sociocultural.Research, Society and Development2021-08-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1953810.33448/rsd-v10i11.19538Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 11; e82101119538Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 11; e82101119538Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 11; e821011195382525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/19538/17290Copyright (c) 2021 Francisco Caruso; Adílio Jorge Marqueshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCaruso, FranciscoMarques, Adílio Jorge2021-10-23T19:01:11Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/19538Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:39:24.448042Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
