Perspectivas arqueológicas e genealógicas para uma epistemologia política do desenvolvimento

Thinking about development from an archaeological and genealogical perspective was exercised in this article. The aim is to support the understanding of scientific work based on the analysis of the meanings acquired by the term over time, always linked to a dynamic movement that starts from a certain point and arrives at another, often considered superior. Considering these uses, it was questioned that from the eminently evolutionary bias, sometimes ideological and violent, it was considered that this mode of reflection can deny fundamentals of scientific thought, relevant, such as the historical perspective. Therefore, the meanings of philosophical thinking and their relationship with considerations about development were questioned and contributions on Nietzsche's genealogy, archeology and genealogy of Foucault were used. Finally, approaches were listed to support epistemological reflections on the understanding of development as a science. Key words: epistemology; development; philosophy; genealogy; archeology
