A priori for a Psychology of the culture

Authors

  • Pablo Fernández Christlieb Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México

Abstract

It is argued that thinking, specially everyday and social thinking, is based on a sort of mythical thought, that which is not true because it is verified, but because we believe in. Culture belongs to it. Namely, the idea of space, and its derived ideas of deepness, profoundness, consciousness, knowledge and the very thinking itself, is basically a collective and mythical thought which can not be understood by means of scientific rationality coming out of natural sciences.
