Abstract

The "Lisbon Earthquake" comes out as the linguistic expression describing a set of what, from a realistic stand, would be a "configuration" of positive evidence to be posed "against facts". A sum total of legends, inquiries and investigation, and effects, would integrate social memory as an obvious piece of evidence, generating a two-folded epistemological hindrance. On the one hand, there stands its reification: the phenomenon is regarded as "evident", "real'; "obvious'; "consensual''. On the other hand, a more sophisticated em­piricism would claim "there is a real phenomenon about which we can hold different standpoints". ln other words, there is a generally accepeted "defined object" about which we shall have "views" to entertain. Contrastively notorious writers, namely, Voltaire, Rous­seau and Malagrida can come to our aid in the perception of significant hindrances to the constitution of the "Lisbon Earthquake''.
