CRESPO CRESPO, Cecilia; FARFAN, Rosa María  y  LEZAMA, Javier. Some characteristics of the argumentations and the mathematics in scenarios without aristotelian influence. Relime [online]. 2009, vol.12, n.1, pp.29-66. ISSN 2007-6819.

This work shows, first, a characterization of cultural scenarios that did not have Aristotelian influence; hence its argumentations used are different than the ones originated in Greece. In such cultures some mathematical concepts were used in a way that took several centuries to be accepted in western thinking. This shows how culture affects forms of argumentation and posits the possibility of the development of mathematical concepts based on other thinking sources. Furthermore, this study describes some argumentation forms, present in the mathematical classroom, which are incorrect according to Aristotelian logic.

Palabras llave : Socioepistemologogy; argumentations; sociocultural construction.
