Abstract

The conscience of a person is a condensation of the social conscience of the historical moment of his/her constitution. The conscience is formed with referents that derive from diverse manners of appropriation of the real, which turn into a condition of incorporating new referents, which are translated into its logic of operation. The conscience is dialectical as dialectical is the reality that represents. The mutability of the real and of its representation in the conscience, places critical dialectics in a relation of correspondence to the real with thinking and postulates the possibility of social knowledge for the intentional empowerment of the real.
