Psicología histórica y materialismo histórico: la categoría «valor», obstáculos epistemológicos y la propuesta estructuralista

This work address the celebre discussion between Jean Pierre Vernant and George Thomson about the emergence of Parmenidean One and the ulterior concept of substance from a philosophical and methodological standpoint. In the light of the Vernant´s critics against Thomson, this article try to point out the philosophical premises of the historical psychology and historical materialism that are in discussion between the authors. Principally, the argument develops around the notion of “value”. The Althusserian considerations of Emmanuel Terray serve as conceptual framework to the critical analysis.
