The difficulty, inconvenience or contrariety on the origin of the human knowledge is an epistemological problem which can have more of an intention of solution.  This inconvenience is sought to remedy or amend-with knowledge or ignorance of the fact-using different philosophical assumptions (rationalism, empiricism, intellectualism or Apriorismo).  These assumptions, estimations or epistemological conjectures depend – in turn-of the faculty or faculties (the reason and/or the senses) that the subject cognoscente put in practice when it pretends to know certain phenomenon. The faculty or faculties (reason and/or senses) that the subject puts into play, when it pretends to problematize an object of study, will depend or depend, in turn, on the ontological interests of the investigator.  Such interests, haves or benefits refer-in the ontological, existing or real field-to seek to put order in the context, situation or environment (rationalism), Chaos (empiricism) or intermittent states between Order and chaos (intellectualism or Apriorismo).
