Francisco asked:

To where it influences the logic in the explanation of the historical facts?

============

This one has been around for quite a while... and it's so ungrammatical that I'm not sure it is possible
to understand. But I think that after seeing it over and over, I finally get it.

What you want, I believe, is a beginning text on hermeneutics, the study of interpretation. How does
logic influence the interpretation of history? There are those who might claim that it has very little
influence, and they write about how viewpoint basis such interpretations: hermeneutics... a field which
began in the Middle Ages with the interpretation of religious texts.

But hermeneutics is not my field, and I do not know a good beginning text in it... all that comes to
mind is Gadamer, who is not for beginners. In addition, given your problems with English, I would
strongly advise you to find a text in your native language (Spanish?), and I have no idea as to
Spanish writings in hermeneutics.

So, good hunting!
