La Espiral Epistémica de las Relaciones Internas: El conflicto social como cambio de AspectoKeywords: vision of aspects, conflict, social change, wittgenstein, epistemology. Abstract: the growth and development of cultural complexity throughout human history has had the form of a moving spiral that opens to possibilities; from one point, a series of concentric circles is extended that expand the cultural spectrum. this opening can be perceived from a key concept in wittgenstein?s thought, namely, the notion of seeing aspects. on the other hand, with this concept we can also identify and understand another key point in that cultural dynamic: the idea of change and social conflict. thus, the idea of this paper is to show the epistemic structures through which conflicts and socio-cultural changes operate, which are so relevant to social development and the anthropological theory, taking the wittgensteinian idea of seeing aspects as a background. this article is not only a contribution to ?cultural study? based on an epistemological interest, but it also tries to link wittgenstein?s philosophy with scientific anthropology.
