Resumo: | The attempt to define meaning arouses numerous questions, such as whether life can be meaningful without actions devoted to a central purpose or whether the latter guarantee a meaningful life. Communities of inquiry are relevant in this context because they create relationships within and between people and the environment. The more they address relations—social, cognitive, emotional, etc.— that tie-in with the children’s world even if not in a concrete fashion, the more they enable young people to search for and find meaning. Examining the way in which philosophical communities of inquiry serve as a dialogical space that enables a search for meaning on the personal and collective plane, this article seeks to expand the discussion of how/whether finding meaning on a private or communal level can promote recognition of the existential uniqueness of each individual and the development of a sense of responsibility for him or her. Grounded in the writings of Matthew Lipman, it links his ideas about finding meaning in philosophical communities of inquiry with those of Jean-Paul Sartre, Viktor Frankl, and Emmanuel Levinas, in particular with regard to the association between meaning and responsibility. |

Las comunidades de indagación son relevantes en este contexto porque crean relaciones entre la gente y el ambiente. Cuanto más se dirigen a las relaciones — sociales, cognitivas, emocionales, etc. — que se entrelazan con el mundo de los niños aunque no sea en un modo concreto, tanto más le permiten a los jóvenes buscar y encontrar un sentido. Examinando la manera en que las comunidades filosóficas de indagación sirven como un espacio dialógico que permite una búsqueda del sentido en el plano personal y colectivo, este artículo busca expandir la discusión sobre cómo/si encontrar sentido en un nivel privado o comunitario puede promover el reconocimiento de la singularidad existencial de cada individuo y el desarrollo de un sentido de responsabilidad para él o ella. Basado en los escritos de Matthew Lipman, vincula sus ideas sobre encontrar sentido en las comunidades filosóficas de indagación y aquellas de JeanPaul Sartre, Viktor Frankl, y Emmanuel Levinas, en particular con respecto a la asociación entre sentido y responsabilidad.A tentativa de definir significado o sentido origina numerosas perguntas, tais como se a vida pode ter sentido sem ações dirigidas a um propósito central ou se este último garante uma vida com sentido.

The attempt to define meaning arouses numerous questions, such as whether life can be meaningful without actions devoted to a central purpose or whether the latter guarantee a meaningful life. Communities of inquiry are relevant in this context because they create relationships within and between people and the environment. The more they address relations—social, cognitive, emotional, etc.— that tie-in with the children’s world even if not in a concrete fashion, the more they enable young people to search for and find meaning. Examining the way in which philosophical communities of inquiry serve as a dialogical space that enables a search for meaning on the personal and collective plane, this article seeks to expand the discussion of how/whether finding meaning on a private or communal level can promote recognition of the existential uniqueness of each individual and the development of a sense of responsibility for him or her. Grounded in the writings of Matthew Lipman, it links his ideas about finding meaning in philosophical communities of inquiry with those of Jean-Paul Sartre, Viktor Frankl, and Emmanuel Levinas, in particular with regard to the association between meaning and responsibility. |
