This thesis is aimed at making a synthesis between ethnology (social anthropology), anthropology and philosophy. How does the concept act within the cultural weaving ? how does it form within the understanding ? how does cultural activity react on the conception ? these are some of the problems which are being treatad and developped in the thesis, as well as the study of three concepts in the pre-colombian societies, inca and aztec : quantity, quality and integration. Another subject being developped is the formation of the concept in ancient greece, of the pre-socratic era.
