Description
Abstract. Philosophy, from its beginning, has formulated theories concerning the basis of experience in general, and also the origin, meaning and function of the human experience. Using philosophy, the first attempts of developing language, thought and objectivity have been portrayed. From the 16th century, modern science has developed its various branches of study expressly avoiding the metaphysical area. Philosophical anthropology (Descartes, Kant and Hegel) has expressed, in a modern and contemporary way, how these human manifestations are derived from the same intellectual activity, from the natural way of thinking, from its processes and contradictions. From this perspective, art and rock art are conceived as a language, as a talent (Chomsky) that includes representations by humans. Nevertheless, it is not possible to assume that there is only one structure or one formula that can be used universally to study all human representations and unify their language. It is necessary to categorise this discussion as a complex entity whose parts are outside of conventional scientific investigation and should be relegated to other areas of scholastic endeavour.
