Abstract
LOZANO-RIVERA, Camilo. Anthropology and Psychology: Naturalism, Minimalism and Cognitivism. Luna Azul [online]. 2016, n.43, pp.311-340. ISSN 1909-2474. https://doi.org/10.17151/luaz.2016.43.14.
The analysis that this paper sketches aims to offer conceptual tools to approximate anthropology and cognitive psychology from a contemporary perspective. As a point of departure, considers that the ecological situation of any individual includes -by definition- social information that puts them in relation in an inevitable way. This condition does not allow considering individuals as self-contained entities. The paper critically discusses the profusion of terms and approaches to study of subjective realm in anthropology and, as a particular contribution to this subject, describes the links between social reference and origins of semiosis. Recently a partial solution to this theoretical impasse has been drawn in this field of research.
Keywords : Naturalism; minimalism; social reference; semiosis; subjectivity.
