Resumo: | This work aims at discussing the role of imagination and playfulness in the formation of knowledge. It presents the Greek philosophic discourse as the origin of western rational thought, which is established from its opposition to the thought carried by the mythical-poetic discourse. It characterizes the discourse of reason as stemming from the logic of no-contradiction, and the mythical-poetic discourse as constituted by the logic of ambiguity. It also demonstrates the continuity of that division in the 17th century thought by the trust in a reason founded on the logic of cause and opposition. This is, in turn, contradicted by Vico, through the characterization of poetic thought, which presents the logic of similarity and in which analogy and repetition constitute poetic universals. Knowledge produced by mythicalpoetic thought accepts experience and the possibilities of producing knowledge fostered by the opening for plurality, otherness and discentering of subjectivity. |

Apresenta o discurso filosófico grego como a origem do pensamento racional ocidental, que se constitui a partir da oposição com o pensamento veiculado no discurso mitopoético. Caracteriza o discurso da razão a partir de uma lógica da não contradição e o discurso mito-poético constituído por uma lógica da ambigüidade. Também é evidenciada a continuidade dessa divisão no pensamento do séc. XVII, a partir da afirmação da confiança em uma razão que se funda na lógica causal e opositiva, contraposta por Vico, através da caracterização do pensamento poético, que apresenta uma lógica da semelhança, em que a analogia e a repetição constituem os universais poéticos. O saber produzido pelo pensamento mito-poético acolhe a experiência e as possibilidades de produzir conhecimento oferecidas pela abertura à pluralidade, à alteridade e ao descentramento da subjetividade.Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2008-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartigos de linguísticaartigos de linguísticaapplication/pdfhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/27908Matraga - Revista do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras da UERJ; v. 15 n. 22 (2008): Língua, alteridade e discursoMATRAGA - Journal published by the Graduate Program in Letters at Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ); Vol. 15 No. 22 (2008): Language, otherness and discourse2446-69051414-7165reponame:Matraga (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)instacron:UERJporhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/27908/19980Caimi, Claudiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-07-09T04:04:47Zoai:ojs.www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br:article/27908Revistahttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/matragaPUBhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/matraga/oai||letrasmatraga@uerj.br2446-69051414-7165opendoar:2019-07-09T04:04:47Matraga (Online) - Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)false |
