Spanish term or phrase: un saber consciente de sí mismo
Partes de un ensayo: Introducción, desarrollo y conclusiones.

Conclusiones:

Requiere adoptar una posición, decidirse por una respuesta. Se desprende de todo lo anterior, pero debe demostrar al lector que la discusión le ha permitido avanzar en la comprensión y la resolución del problema inicial. Contesta las dudas de la introducción, e indica qué respuesta es la más legítima; no la presenta como una opinión, sino como un saber consciente de sí mismo.

Lo entiendo como llegar a una conclusión bien fundamentada.

Thank you

something consciously known
Explanation:
I think something along these lines may do the trick.

...; don't present it as an option, but rather as something consciously known

un saber = algo que se sabe [con certeza]

oops: that's '... opinion, but rather ...'

As for un saber, there would appear to be a certain nuance here that distinguishes it from 'un hecho'.

Another option:

'...; present it not as opinion, but rather as something/that which is consciously known'

a knowingly self-evident truth


Explanation:
de sí mismo : a self-construction needs to be in there, besides which 'every word in the source text has to be accounted for in the translation', Prof. Peter Newmark.

Example sentence(s):
  • Definitions of self-evident truth. an assumption that is basic to an argument. synonyms: basic assumption, constatation. type of: assumption, supposal, supposition. a hypothesis that is taken for granted.

An established fact


Explanation:
Although not a literal translation, I think this is what is meant ( vs a personal opinion)

Perhaps 'self-acknowledged' would include the personal slant
