Abstract

En el presente ensayo se realizan una serie de reflexiones alrededor de la pregunta sobre la racionalidad, por un lado, de los pueblos y las sociedades prehispánicas de la actual Colombia con respecto a la visión y el uso que daban a la tierra, entendida ésta como el terreno sobre el que habitaban y desarrollaban sus formas de subsistencia; y por otro lado, la de los procesos que condujeron al establecimiento de una realidad colonial en el territorio colombiano del siglo XVI. Se pretende demostrar así que existían para entonces formas de producción agraria en el mundo indígena que fueron propicias para la instauración de mecanismos de explotación a gran escala por parte de los poderes coloniales europeos. ****** In this essay, a set of deliberations are made around the question of rationality. Initial considerations will be on the pre-Hispanic people and societies of the indigenous in Colombia regarding their use and view of the land, the terrain they inhabited and where they developed their forms of subsistence. Subsequently, the processes that led to the creation of a colonial reality in the Colombian territory in the sixteenth century will be addressed. It is demonstrated that at that time there existed forms of agricultural production in the indigenous world that were propitious for the establishment of mechanisms of exploitation on a large scale by the European colonial powers.
