De la "cultura animi" a la cultura como hábito: De cómo la cultura llegó a ser lo que es hoy

Study of the origin of the word ‘culture’: how it went from meaning "agriculture" to refer to the "set of shared habits," as it means today. There is not, as it is said, a creation of the German thought in the late eighteenth century, but a metaphor of Cicero recovered by Thomas Moore about 1510 and spread in Castilian and Italian in the second half of XVI century. This conclusion requires changing the conventional version of the cultural anthropology history and any other knowledge relating to culture.
