摘要:In the present article we develop two proposals on Gadamer´s thinking which have much to do with dialogic rationality. First, the dialogic rationality related to both the Socratic and Platonic principle of Eumeneis Elenchoi, according to which the dialog is the condition for the existence of rationality. Second, the importance of the history of mentalities in the hermeneutical experience, a thesis developed within the Annales School (1929) and represented by its founders: Marc Bloch, Lucien Febvre, y Fernand Braudel. Specially because the mentality is a constitutive element of the tradition, caracterized not only for the experience of the tradition but by the dialogical relation that each individual incorporates into the dominant mentality.
