Resumo: | In Rousseau’s philosophy, the gradual construction of a western idea of humanity is exposed: the history of how the human being naming himself being, as well as the history of the abuse of that denomination. It is, above all, a critique of the construction of the myth of the exclusive dignity of human nature, a theme that permeates the works of different philosophers, from the modern to contemporary ones, from western to non-western. This articlediscusses, based on Rousseau and in dialogue with other authors, the “cursed cycle” characteristic of modernity, an idea that separates humans from animals and segregates humans from each other. It starts with separating human being from nature and constituting him as a distinct part in a process of progressive monopolization of the value of existence: speciesism appears at first, then sociopolitical inequality, ethnocentrism and other forms derived from exclusion. |

Trata-se, sobretudo, da crítica sobre a construção de um mito da dignidade exclusiva da natureza humana, tema que percorre as obras de diferentes filósofos, dos modernos aos contemporâneos, dos ocidentais aos não ocidentais. O presente artigo aborda, a partir de Rousseau e em diálogo com outros autores, o “ciclo maldito” característico da modernidade, uma ideia que separa os humanos dos animais e segrega os humanos entre si. Começa-se por apartar o ser humano da natureza e constituí-lo como um ser à parte em um processo de monopolização progressiva do valor da existência: aparece em um primeiromomento o especismo, subsequentemente a desigualdade sociopolítica, o etnocentrismo e outras formas derivadas de exclusão.Revista KriterionRevista KriterionKriterion: Revista de FilosofiaKriterion: Revista de FilosofiaRevista Kriterion2021-12-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/article/view/25047Revista Kriterion; Vol. 62 No. 150 (2021)Revista Kriterion; Vol. 62 Núm. 150 (2021)Kriterion: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 62 No 150 (2021)Kriterion: Revista de Filosofia; V. 62 N. 150 (2021)Revista Kriterion; v. 62 n. 150 (2021)1981-53360100-512Xreponame:Kriterion (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/article/view/25047/29050Copyright (c) 2021 Revista Kriterionhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDela Bandera, Mauro2021-12-09T03:07:47Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/25047Revistahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterionPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/oairevistakriterion@gmail.com1981-53360100-512Xopendoar:2024-01-24T12:41:24.863666Kriterion (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
