Vine Deloria Jr.,

Vine Deloria, Jr. (1933-2005) es considerado uno de los pensadores indígenas más influyentes en Norte América. Deloria realizó aportes importantes en campos como la filosofía de la ciencia, la Teología, el Derecho, y al movimiento indígena en Norte América. Deloria Jr. desarrolló su carrera académica en Western Washington State College, la Universidad de Arizona, y la Universidad de Colorado Boulder.
Entre sus libros más destacados se encuentran: Custer Died For Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto, (Macmillan,
1969) The Metaphysics of Modern Existence, (Harper & Row, 1979) y Evolution, Creationism, and Other Modern
Myths, (Fulcrum Pub, 2002).


This article criticizes the prevailing reductionism present in modern scientific and technological rationality. In contemporary society, the articulation between such reductionism and the modern mechanistic cosmological model has led to an objectivizing absolutism that simplifies the complexity of reality. In this regard, the high-level training project for indigenous peoples should avoid such reductionism. It is suggested that indigenous scientific and technological practices be revalued as valid sources for an intercultural dialogue. In this context, local goals have a privileged place.
