Cognitive Archaeology, Hermeneutics, Estructuralism, Time, SpaceAbstract
The cognitive aspects of past societies are receiving progressive attention in Archaeology. Phenomenological hermeneutics are being used as the philosophical basis for the study of history. I will try to show: a) why the Social Sciences are interested in those mental aspects of other societies, b) Why phenomenological hermeneutics are not adequate to analyze them; and c) the existence of different orders of rationality among cultures and the need to understand them if we want to analyze past behaviours.
