| dc.description.abstract | The idea contained in Derrida's assertion that "the divine was not yet corrupted by
God", is central to this research. I will not occupy myself with the topic, but will recover an
important discussion on the environment of Social Sciences. It is one thing to experience the
divine which causes the bodies to sit around the table, another thing is the abstract God of
reason, historically and socially, who cooperatively manages to put side by side Christianity,
churches and totalitarian states. One thing, therefore, is the thought that rescues the experience
in the act of understanding, clings to it, and another thing is the concept that names "from the
outside" the world experience. We are used to this "quiet confusion" represented by concepts
like this, caused by a detached look, which sees the earth as a blue planet, a position that seeing
flat and universal surfaces, hinders us from seeing the diverse, the ambiguous and porous,
common to them all. It deals with questioning this view and such a stance, which pushes us
inexorably toward the development of knowledge almost always positive and conclusive,
leaving little room for us to continue questioning and expanding our field of vision. It also deals
with recovering proximity, realizing that the blue planet, besides having other colors, has
innumerable and different surfaces, a plurality of odors and that, if we approach even more
closely our view of the body to the planet, we will be faced inevitably with the complexity of
the reality that "earth, blue planet " entails, making us see that this concept, as well as knowledge
in general, is always incomplete, saying little about the immensity of reality. It deals, in the end,
in recovering an ethical stance in the act of learning in order to construct meaningful and
important knowledge. Who is more apt to say what is or is not significant and important but our
bodies which, in a constant movement of openness in relation to the world, still hopes from the
sciences attention to the problems of our lives? | |
