Sumario:Gilbert Durand was known in 1960 by his work Anthropological structures of the imaginary, a relentless erudite text which sought build a system in which the imaginary is established as the area which constitutes the human conscience and their various languages, both individual and collectively​​. According to Durand any dealing with reality refers to the archetypal imagery as its fundamental, and they are the main basis from where it should be possible to reconstruct the discourse of Human Sciences stressing the establishment of oppositions and familiarity that belongs to culture and its products. Durand questions the rationalist tradition of modernity that reduced the knowledge to the mathematical sign and proposes a model for restoration of the symbol as an integral element of social construction.
