Resumo: | This article presents the understanding that Ortega y Gasset and Vilém Flusser had of contemporary man and his difficulties. Both comment on a historical moment where the vast majority of men reveal little concern and responsibility for their destiny and personal uniqueness. The two philosophers see a man with little commitment to excellence, superficial in dealing with things, and without adhering to a moral code as was common at other times in history. Another important aspect of this typification is that Ortega's minority concept and Flusser's official do not refer to social class, they summarize a way of life. This predominant type and described by both has a well-defined function in society. Ortega's mass-man and Flusser's employees, despite these similarities, have significant differences. For Ortega, the function performed by the minority is a specialty, a mission for which someone needs to be exceptionally qualified, while for Flusser the minority is a group that occupies little space in social life and has little weight in the destiny of the group. The presentation of this contemporary man by the two authors will make it possible to understand their understanding of their difficulties and what they need to do to overcome them. |

Ambos comentam um momento histórico onde a enorme maioria dos homens revela pouca preocupação e responsabilidade com seu destino e singularidade pessoal. Os dois filósofos enxergam um homem pouco comprometido com a excelência, superficial no trato com as coisas e sem aderir a um código moral como foi comum em outros momentos da história. Um outro aspecto importante dessa tipificação é que o conceito minoria de Ortega e o funcionário de Flusser não se referem à classe social, eles resumem uma maneira de viver. Esse tipo predominante e descrito por ambos tem na sociedade uma função bem definida. O homem-massa de Ortega e o funcionário de Flusser apesar dessas semelhanças, possuem significativas diferenças. Para Ortega, a função exercida pela minoria é uma especialidade, uma missão para a qual alguém precisará estar excepcionalmente qualificado, enquanto que para Flusser a minoria é um grupo que ocupa pequeno espaço na vida social e tem pouco peso no destino do grupo. A apresentação desse homem contemporâneo pelos dois autores permitirá entender a compreensão que tiveram das suas dificuldades e do que precisam fazer para superá-las.EDUFPI2023-05-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://periodicos.ufpi.br/index.php/pensando/article/view/376710.26694/pensando.vol14i31.3767PENSANDO - REVISTA DE FILOSOFIA; Vol. 14 No. 31 (2023): VARIA; 55-64PENSANDO - REVUE DE PHILOSOPHIE; Vol. 14 No 31 (2023): VARIA; 55-64PENSANDO - REVISTA DE FILOSOFIA; v. 14 n. 31 (2023): VARIA; 55-642178-843X10.26694/pensando.vol14i31reponame:Pensandoinstname:Universidade Federal do Piauí (UFPI)instacron:UFPIporhttps://periodicos.ufpi.br/index.php/pensando/article/view/3767/3638https://periodicos.ufpi.br/index.php/pensando/article/view/3767/3649Copyright (c) 2023 PENSANDO - REVISTA DE FILOSOFIAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Carvalho, José Maurício2023-05-06T21:51:03Zoai:periodicos.ufpi.br:article/3767Revistahttp://www.ojs.ufpi.br/index.php/pensando/indexPUBhttps://revistas.ufpi.br/index.php/pensando/oai||revista.pensando@gmail.com2178-843X2178-843Xopendoar:2023-05-06T21:51:03Pensando - Universidade Federal do Piauí (UFPI)false |
