Abstract

This paper pretends to investigate, in a long duration, some of the genealogical elements of the inferiority rethoric in Renascentist Europe, rethoric that legitimates the objetification of some humans since the Classical world and made (in general) legitime to the eyes of the european, in its especific formula that lends concepts of this Classical world (concepts still very alive), the sistematic exploitation of the non-european from Africa and America in the episode that we know as “colonization”, from the closing of the fifteenth-century. Such never ending rethoric will lead to social darwinismo, afterwards, until it tooks the formula os modern eugenics. More than identify the commom ground of a way of thinking that crosses the time we pretend to identify the unique conditions in that context that led to the especific form of treating the new human being. We shall do such thing recovering the zeitgeist of the Europe in the time, consulting the bibliography we choose.
