Resumen
La pregunta por lo que somos, lo que nos diferencia y nos hace iguales a los otros, ha sido transversal a varias disciplinas. Con el objetivo de mostrar cómo la razón y el progreso han sido criterios de demarcación de lo humano y cómo han sido rebatidos dando campo a lo social, se muestran dos historias paralelas: una en antropología y la otra en psicología. En cada una de ellas se aprecia cómo, en las primeras conceptualizaciones de lo humano, éste era retratado como un ser en continuo progreso hacía lo racional, su marca distintiva, así mismo cómo estas versiones fueron criticadas por versiones que abogan por un ser humano inmerso en un mundo cultural. El trazar estas dos historias permite vislumbrar cómo, entre las ciencias humanas, se han generado preguntas similares y cómo sus influencias han sido de doble vía. Se espera que este tipo de abordajes permita ampliar los límites, siempre difusos en disciplinas, en pos de lograr un mayor entendimiento de lo humano.
Abstract. The question about who we are, what differentiates and make us the same as others, have been transversal to several disciplines. With the aim of showing how reason and progress have been the criteria of demarcation of human kind and how it has been refuted by a social perspective, two parallel histories are shown: one in anthropology and the other in psychology. In each of them it is seen how, in the first conceptualizations of human, it was portrayed as a being in continuous progress towards rationalization, its distinctive mark, as well as how these versions were criticized by versions that advocate for a human being immersed in a cultural world. Tracing these two histories allows us to glimpse how, between the human sciences, similar questions have been generated and how their influences have been multiple-ways. It is expected that this type of approach will allow extending the limits, always diffuse in disciplines, in order to achieve a greater understanding of the human being.
