In this paper we start from the idea that transformations come to a large extent from the reflection that we make of the past in relation to the present and the future projection that we desire. In this article we support the idea that there is a plurality of personal and collective identities that are constituted in relation to the social practices of any of the various conceptual frameworks, and since there are no valid reasons to believe that one identity is superior or more valuable than another, it would not be possible to despise, oppress or privilege any of them. Considering this plurality of identities, we expose that a very problematic aspect of the practices of oppression and privilege is that a world of contempt is built from them. From the position of onto-epistemological pluralism it is maintained that the subjects construct the world in which they live in relation to their social practices and assumptions, the main finding in this article has been to identify that this construction can be in relation to the present, the future, and the past. Based on Colapietro’s reading of Dewey’s pragmatism, we conclude that by rethinking and redefining from the personal and social sphere how the practices of contempt emerged and are sustained, the possibility of transforming them opens. A fundamental element to know that certain practices must change is in the unsatisfactory emotional quality of the experience of the subject who is treated with oppression and contempt.
