This project aims to develop a solution to the problem of the social knowledge, which is comprehended as a set of different entities (such as shared ideas, symbolizations) with a semantic basis that intends to explain both material and social reality and that depends on others sharing in order to exist. The problem of social knowledge may be analytically divided in the problem of its natu…
