Resumo: | Our goal, in this article, is to propose an articulation between Gilbert Simondon’s theory of individuation and John Dewey’s theory of investigation. In relation to the first, the “biological” and “psychic” aspects of individuation will be emphasized; as for the second, we will emphasize its main naturalist and epistemological elements, as well as Dewey’s more general concepts of “experience” and “nature”. We will argue that the individuation process is closely related to the ability, possessed by every living individual, to solve problems resulting from their constant interaction with the environment. We will propose, more precisely, a theoretical connection between the principle or concept of individuation and the idea that there is in the living organism an investigative aptitude that not only restores its “metastable” equilibrium, but also, and at the same time, always gives him a new individuality, both biological and psychic. We hope to obtain, as a result of this process of synthesis involving the ideas of Simondon and Dewey, an expanded understanding of the respective theories of individuation and inquiry. |

Dewey and Simondon: the investigative act in biological and psychic individuationsDewey e Simondon: o ato investigativo nas individuações biológica e psíquica Our goal, in this article, is to propose an articulation between Gilbert Simondon’s theory of individuation and John Dewey’s theory of investigation. In relation to the first, the “biological” and “psychic” aspects of individuation will be emphasized; as for the second, we will emphasize its main naturalist and epistemological elements, as well as Dewey’s more general concepts of “experience” and “nature”.

Nosso objetivo, no presente artigo, é propor uma articulação entre a teoria da individuação de Gilbert Simondon e a teoria da investigação de John Dewey. Em relação à primeira, serão enfatizados os aspectos “biológico” e “psíquico” de individuação; quanto à segunda, ressaltaremos seus principais elementos naturalistas e epistemológicos, assim como os conceitos mais gerais de “experiência” e de “natureza” de Dewey. Defenderemos que o processo de individuação tem estreita relação com a capacidade, possuída por todo indivíduo vivo, de solucionar problemas ou situações de conflito resultantes de sua constante interação com o ambiente. Proporemos, mais precisamente, uma conexão teórica entre o princípio ou conceito de individuação e a ideia de que existe no organismo vivente uma aptidão investigativa que não apenas restaura seu equilíbrio “metaestável”, como também, e ao mesmo tempo, lhe proporciona sempre uma nova individualidade, tanto biológica como psíquica. Esperamos obter, como resultado deste processo de síntese envolvendo as ideias de Simondon e de Dewey, uma compreensão ampliada das respectivas teorias da individuação e da investigação.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2022-11-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/cognitiofilosofia/article/view/5893810.23925/2316-5278.2022v23i1:e58938Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 23 No. 1 (2022): Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; e58938Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; v. 23 n. 1 (2022): Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; e589382316-52781518-7187reponame:Cognitio (São Paulo.
