Abstract

Based on the example of the role of orality in the foundation of moral and legal duty in the Kamëntšá and Inga native peoples settled in southwestern Colombia, this article proposes as its main objective to show that the indigenous oral narrative works as a distinctive way of argumentation that gives an objective foundation to the moral and legal duties of a community. Using the historical-hermeneutic method with a documentary analysis approach, two significant results are shown. The first is that an adequate conceptualization of the characterization of the indigenous oral narrative both from the
perspective of Western philosophy and from an indigenous point of view leads to the thesis that the foundation of moral and legal duties in the kamëntšá and inga communities has an eminently dialogical character. An additional result of the interpretive analysis is that the indigenous oral narrative is a form of argumentation that does not imply blind atavistic obedience. Finally, it concludes by indicating that the foundation of the moral and legal duties of the kamëntšá and Inga communities is formally similar to the foundation used by the most representative legal traditions of the West, but materially dissimilar both due to its community emphasis and its marked objective character of the moral values.
