Resumo: | In this paper, I critically explore Ann Sharp’s conception of personhood as it figures in the theory and practice of the community of philosophical inquiry (CPI). Through surveying Sharp’s rich and varied philosophical output, it will be shown how Sharp’s conception of personhood as a trilateral relationship (between self, other(s), and community) maps onto “the Three C’s” of critical, creative, and caring thinking that make up the practice of Philosophy for Children. After thus presenting Sharp’s conception of personhood, the paper brings into view an aspect of said conception which could benefit from further development. This potential shortfall in Sharp’s thought is identified as “the problem of closure”. In highlighting the problem of closure, I will indicate how Sharp marshals the concept of faith in her conception of CPI as a spiritual community, a relationship that is coincident with personhood itself, as it stands for the bond that ties together the individual (self and other(s)) and the collective (community) dimensions of CPI. I argue that faith serves, among other things, as an agent of closure between the individual and the collective in Sharp’s thought. In considering the function of faith in CPI, I will suggest an avenue of possible resolution to the problem of closure in Leonard Nelson’s conception of “the Socratic spirit” as the embodiment of “reason’s self-confidence”. Finally, the paper looks ahead to David Kennedy’s writings on the intentionality structure that governs the relationship between the individual and the collective in CPI as a resource that promises to offer a more rigorous and systematic treatment of the problem of closure. |

Através do levantamento da rica e variada produção filosófica de Sharp, será mostrado como a concepção de pessoa de Sharp enquanto uma relação trilateral (entre eu, outro(s), e comunidade) mapeia “os Três C's” do pensamento crítico, criativo e cuidadoso que compõem a prática da Filosofia para Crianças. Assim, depois de apresentar a concepção de pessoa de Sharp, o artigo traz à luz um aspecto da referida concepção que poderia se beneficiar de um maior desenvolvimento. Este potencial déficit no pensamento de Sharp é identificado como “o problema do encerramento”. Ao salientar o problema do encerramento, vou indicar como Sharp aborda o conceito de fé na sua concepção de CIF enquanto comunidade espiritual, uma relação que coincide com a própria pessoa, pois representa o vínculo que une as dimensões individual (eu e outro(s)) e colectiva (comunitária) da CIF. Defendo que a fé serve, entre outras coisas, como um agente de fechamento entre o indivíduo e o colectivo no pensamento de Sharp. Ao considerar a função da fé na CIF, sugiro uma via de possível resolução para o problema do encerramento na concepção do “espírito socrático”, de Leonard Nelson, como a encarnação da “autoconfiança da razão”. Por fim, o artigo olha para os escritos de David Kennedy sobre a estrutura de intencionalidade que rege a relação entre o indivíduo e o colectivo na CIF como um recurso que promete oferecer um tratamento mais rigoroso e sistemático do problema do encerramento.En este artículo exploro críticamente el concepto de persona de Ann Sharp, tal y como figura en la teoría y la práctica de la comunidad de investigación filosófica (CIF). A través de un repaso de la rica y variada producción filosófica de Sharp, se mostrará cómo la concepción de Sharp de la persona como relación trilateral (entre el yo, otro(s) y la comunidad) se corresponde con "las tres C" del pensamiento crítico, creativo y cuidadoso que conforman la práctica de la Filosofía para Niños. Luego de presentar así la concepción de persona de Sharp, el artículo pone de manifiesto un aspecto de dicha concepción que podría beneficiarse de un mayor desarrollo. Esta posible carencia en el pensamiento de Sharp se identifica como "el problema del cierre". Al destacar el problema del cierre, indicaré cómo Sharp acomoda el concepto de fe en su concepción de la CIF como una comunidad espiritual, una relación que coincide con el concepto de persona mismo, en la medida en que representa el vínculo que une las dimensiones individual (el yo y otro(s)) y colectiva (comunidad) de la CIF. Mi argumento es que la fe sirve, entre otras cosas, como agente de cierre entre lo individual y lo colectivo en el pensamiento de Sharp. Al considerar la función de la fe en la CIF, sugeriré una vía de posible resolución del problema del cierre en la concepción de Leonard Nelson del "espíritu socrático" como encarnación de la "propia confianza de la razón". Finalmente, el artículo se dirige hacia los escritos de David Kennedy sobre la estructura de intencionalidad que gobierna la relación entre el individuo y lo colectivo en la CIF como un recurso que promete ofrecer un tratamiento más riguroso y sistemático del problema del cierre.Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2023-04-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/childhood/article/view/6809510.12957/childphilo.2023.68095childhood & philosophy; Vol. 19 (2023); 01 - 20childhood & philosophy; v. 19 (2023); 01 - 20childhood & philosophy; Vol. 19 (2023); 01 - 201984-5987reponame:Childhood & Philosophy (Rio de Janeiro.
