| Summary: | This paper is a critical discussion of the epistemological anti-realism peculiar to post-modern theories from the diagnosis that they are based on the false notion that any codification necessarily means not only a selection or simplification bult also a deformation or adulteration of the object codified. In a first step in revising this thesis and supported by contemporary paleoanthropology and neurobiology it is questioned if the human nervous system adulterates reality while putting it at the reach of the mind through the coordination of sensorial information. Then questioning if there exists a relation between the narrative and the facts described follows an epistemological debate on the truthfulness of historical textbooks explanations.<br>Discute-se criticamente o anti-realismo epistemol&oacute;gico pr&oacute;prio das atitudes te&oacute;ricas p&oacute;s-modernas, a partir do diagn&oacute;stico de que estas se fundam no entendimento falacioso de que qualquer codifica&ccedil;&atilde;o significa, necessariamente, n&atilde;o s&oacute; uma sele&ccedil;&atilde;o ou simplifica&ccedil;&atilde;o como tamb&eacute;m uma deforma&ccedil;&atilde;o ou deturpa&ccedil;&atilde;o da coisa codificada. Num primeiro momento, na revis&atilde;o dessa tese, pautando-se pelos ensinamentos da paleoantropologia e da neurobiologia contempor&acirc;neas, questiona-se se o sistema nervoso humano deturpa a realidade ao p&ocirc;-la ao alcance da mente pela coordena&ccedil;&atilde;o das informa&ccedil;&otilde;es sensoriais. Em seguida, partindo da indaga&ccedil;&atilde;o de qual rela&ccedil;&atilde;o existe entre a narrativa e os fatos que descreve, entra-se no debate epistemol&oacute;gico sobre a a veracidade das explica&ccedil;&otilde;es dos textos hist&oacute;ricos. |
