This essay aims to take a stand regarding Javier Moscoso’s writing “Historias de la experiencia”. The text is divided into two, at first the author outlines an interpretation of this writing, underlining the points that question him and that open the debate. In a second moment, the author develops his proposal around what he means by writing history and its social function. The text states that a comment on a text only has value if it is first exposed from where it is taking place. More explicitly addressed, the discussion does not happen within the commented text but in the criteria used to criticize it. When making history, what needs to be discussed are the postulates with which the appropriation of the text is carried out.

Keywords : experience; historiography; interpretation; emotion; critics of text criticism.
