Epistemological-interpretative Keys to Analytically Adress Historic Time in the Western World

Abstract

Epistemological-interpretative keys are addressed analytically about reproductive forms socially constructed and reconstructed in the Western World historical time. Men, as motivated as agents of change in social aspects, establish a dialogue between present and past (continuum), but starting reconstructions often laden with subjective- intentional intersubjective meanings that reveal various intentions that serve as interpretive and operationally useful when they represent the historical times "at the time and in context given". Therefore, it follows that historical time is a subjective and intersubjective construction subject to multiple wills and intentions of human beings. Use of historiographical contributions Carr (1985), Braudel (1960 and 1968) and interpretative and intersubjective hermeneutics Ricoeur (2000) was made, in order to shed some light on the interests and needs of the officiating of history and time privileged from the moment that epistemologically select an event on another.
