Abstract

This brief essay aims, firstly, to define the concepts of particular science, religion, philosophy and theology. Secondly, from the conceptual explanation given, a criterion or principle of relational truth is proposed that permits complementarity and gnoseological-epistemoligical convergence between knowledge. The totality of reality, without ceasing to be one and complete, accepts various approaches in order to be known, such approaches result in different levels of depth such as different specific
methods. These levels and methods, instead of opposing or entering into conflict, have conversations and, to some extent, make it possible to achieve an enriched and respectful knowledge, as much the complexity of reality as the depth and overflowing of human existence.
