Abstract
El cambio del método contable de la partida simple a la doble en el siglo XV se ha intentado explicar por
la influencia de diferentes factores como la aparición del capitalismo o por el contacto de Italia con otros
pueblos. Sin embargo, ninguno de ellos aisladamente, lo ha podido hacer de forma satisfactoria. Por lo
tanto, utilizando una metodología cualitativa, este trabajo intenta arrojar luz indagando cómo este cambio
contable se pudo deber a un cambio en la percepción filosófica y religiosa del mundo, al pasarse de la Edad
Media al Renacimiento. Se verá cómo los métodos del cargo y descargo y de la partida doble responden
a las formas de pensamiento imperantes en el que se desarrollaron. En consecuencia, que partida simple
se puede asociar a un pensamiento Teocéntrico, propio de la Edad Media, y que la partida doble se puede
relacionar con el Antropocéntrico característico del Renacimiento.
The change in the accounting method from single entry to double entry in the 15th century has been tried to explain by the influence of some different issues such as the appearance of capitalism or by the contact of Italy with other peoples. However, none of them has been able to do so satisfactorily. That is why this work, tries to show how this accounting change could be pushed by a paradigm shift: the philosophical and religious perception of the world and its passed from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. It will be seen using a qualitative methodology which helps to know how the methods of charge and discharge and double entry respond to the prevailing ways of thinking in which they developed. The first one, can be associated with a Theocentric thought, typical of the Middle Ages, and the second one, double entry bookkeeping, philosophical viewpoint that are the are the most important entity in the world, which is characteristic of the Renaissance.
