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
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]

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'

Thanks but I really don't see in saber as necessarily knowledge. Habrían dicho 'conocimiento', que es distinto..

a knowingly self-evident truth
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:
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.

: Why are parading this Newmark nonsense yet again? You know well that phrases can validly translate to single words and vice-versa

An established fact
Although not a literal translation, I think this is what is meant ( vs a personal opinion)

Perhaps 'self-acknowledged' would include the personal slant
