DUDET LIONS, Claudette and JAVIEDES ROMERO, María de la Luz. The Thought of Social Psychology. Espac. blanco, Ser. indagaciones [online]. 2011, vol.21, n.1, pp.59-84. ISSN 1515-9485.
Currently Social Psychology consists of different theoretical and methodological positions receiving unequal attention. This is the motive leading the authors to highlight one of these ways of thinking: the collective psychology, which begins at the XIX century with the interest shown by several authors in the study of the masses and publics. The historical development of social psychology is reviewed, and the milestones that have generated different thoughts are emphasized in order to meditate and rethink this discipline, and recognize us in these other traditions of social thought that gave rise to various fields of knowledge and other ways of thinking Social Psychology, which over time have persisted and have opened way to build other ways for interpret us as social beings. What is intended, in particular, is to explain how a social psychology of collective aspect or socio-psychological, may have as one of the cardinal issues the understanding of the social thought, of knowledge; that means thought itself as a collective, collective epistemology, as a knowledge which is always about to be done and undone.
