The fi rst ones are a body of selected theories that requires to be contrasted to its subsequent application, while the experiential ones are necessary to articulate the productive social relations since they are linked to the social, spatial, and temporal context references that determine relations of man, society, nature and spirituality. The objective to certify the experiential knowledge is to create a comprehensive, effective, solid and legitimate, cognitive structure that will improve the quality of life of the society. The methodology used is argumentative and documentary by using the theoretical analysis and a matrix of double input as an instrument of information acquisition. There is a high infl uence of the political criterion and social control in the certifi cation of knowledge.esExperiential knowledgeArgumentativeExperiential learningContext (archaeology)SociologyEpistemologyPoliticsSocial knowledgeSocial psychologyPsychologybook-chapter
