El “coto vedado” como sustento de la seguridad humana desde la teoría del conocimiento

In this paper, the theory of the “prohibited limits” and the concept of “human security” are reviewed, and its main theoretical categories are analyzed in order to identify the existing relationship between both, as well as their differential and coincidental aspects. This review was made based on a documentary methodology from both an analytical and synthetic point of view. Theoretical aspects were considered to distinguish the close relationship between both categories, hence, allowing a better understanding of the social phenomenon of human insecurity. The findings show that there is a cognitive relationship between the properties of the prohibited limits and human security as objects of knowledge. In addition, the regularity in the relationshipsbetween each of these objects and their properties were acknowledged, leading to the categories of causality and substantiality. The foregoing allows proposing the theory of the prohibited limits as source and sustenance of human security. Keywords: prohibited limits, human security, theory of knowledge
