The society of knowledge has shifted from learning from an ideal of value to learning from an ideal of efficiency. The problem that this brings is that education is no longer viewed as an emancipation process, but is now based on how mathematical theory defines information and portrays the question of meaning. Education researchers tend to not question the fundamentals of cybernetic science. The objective of this article is to discuss Wilhelm Dilthey's concept of lived experience and apply it to education as an alternative to Warren Weaver, Claude Shannon, and Norbert Weiner's mathematical theory point of view.

In western history, from Socrates and Plato to the foundation of the modern public arena, it has been a constant answer to the attempts for balance in community life. In its contemporary form, knowledge has attended the imperatives of the so-called information society, occasion in which it encounters new contingencies-among them, maybe one of the most significant, is the progressive unencumbering of human understanding with the logical appraisals that involve its production. Increasingly submitted to a type of accounting rationale, production of knowledge is drained by artificial intelligence devices, Midiatização e o entendimento desonerado Mediatization and unencumbered understanding Mediatización y comprensión desobligada

We argue that, on one hand, the new organizational dimension of communication, mediatization, based on information hybridism (Sodré, 2014), turns communication into a form of knowledge that is decisive for societal functioning. Yet, on the other hand, insofar as it integrates communication within information regimes-in particular, speed flows-mediatization seems to challenge the constitution of epistemological otherness within this field of knowledge. As a space in which synergy among different social fields is created, mediatization not only amplifies the discursive contiguity of knowledge-production and professional spheres, but also establishes the absence of duration as a common institutional premise. This phenomenon points to the retreat of time as a space of difference. Within the new regime of temporality, based on the virtual acceleration of time, a significant portion of communication theories seem to appear without any type of virtuality. In epistemological terms, one of the most acute consequences of dismantling time, as a space of intelligibility, is the constriction of the principle of autonomy that, at one time, more thoroughly grounded different fields of knowledge, especially within the humanities. Hence, the hermeneutic horizon becomes crucial to the development of social sciences. As a residual condition of discursive autonomy, hermeneutic resources shape an alignment of time and knowledge. In the end, understanding continues to constitute an existential quality.
