Resumo: | This article aims to present a brief analysis of the Finkian understanding of the play from a cosmological philosophical perspective, a notion structured by Eugen Fink in “Play as Symbol of the World” (1960). In this work, the author claims the possibility of approaching play as a legitimate philosophical problem. He proposes to think it beyond the outlines established by traditional metaphysics, mainly through Platonic philosophy, which conceives the play as a mere reproduction of reality. Fink turns his attention to ritualistic cults and life of primitive communities and argues that, in this context, the “non-actuality” of the play world had a higher ontological character compared to the ordinary things of everyday reality. Therefore he develops his interpretation of the play on the basis of three structuring notions: totality, mediality and the notion of symbol. In this sense, the understanding of play is outlined as an ecstatic opening in relation to the totality of the world, as a manifestation of the infinity of the world in the finite human being. |

En la obra, el autor reclama la posibilidad de un acercamiento al juego como un problema filosófico legítimo y se propone a pensar este tema más allá de los esquemas establecidos por la metafísica tradicional, a través de la filosofía platónica, que concibe el juego como una mera reproducción de la realidad. Fink recurre a los cultos ritualistas en la vida de las comunidades primitivas y argumenta que, en este contexto, la “no realidad” del mundo del juego tenía un alto carácter primordialmente ontológico en comparación con las cosas ordinarias de la realidad cotidiana. Es a partir de este camino que el autor desarrolla su interpretación del juego, basada en tres nociones estructurales: totalidad, medialidad y la noción de símbolo. En este sentido, la comprensión del juego se perfila como una apertura extática en relación con la totalidad del mundo, como una manifestación del infinito del mundo en el ser humano finito.Este artigo objetiva apresentar uma breve análise da compreensão finkiana de jogo a partir de uma perspectiva filosófica cosmológica, noção estruturada por Eugen Fink em “Jogo como Símbolo do Mundo” (1960). Na obra, o autor reivindica a possibilidade de uma abordagem do jogo como um problema filosófico legítimo e se propõe a pensar esse tema para além dos contornos estabelecidos pela metafísica tradicional, por meio da filosofia platônica, a qual concebe o jogo como uma mera reprodução da realidade. Fink se volta para os cultos ritualísticos na vida das comunidades primitivas e argumenta que, nesse contexto, a “não-realidade” do mundo do jogo tinha um caráter ontológico elevado em relação às coisas ordinárias da realidade cotidiana. É a partir desse caminho que o autor desenvolve a sua interpretação do jogo, com base em três noções estruturantes: a totalidade, a medialidade e a noção de símbolo. Nesse sentido, delineia-se a compreensão de jogo como uma abertura extasiante em relação à totalidade do mundo, como manifestação do infinito do mundo no ser humano finito.Associação de Pesquisas em Fenomenologia (APFeno)2020-12-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoTextoTextoapplication/pdfhttps://phenomenology.com.br/index.php/phe/article/view/64Phenomenology, Humanities and Sciences; Vol. 1 No. 3 (2020): Phenomenology, Humanities and Science; 475-483Phenomenology, Humanities and Sciences; Vol. 1 Núm. 3 (2020): Phenomenology, Humanities and Science; 475-483Phenomenology, Humanities and Sciences; v. 1 n. 3 (2020): Phenomenology, Humanities and Science; 475-4832675-4673reponame:Phenomenology, Humanities and Sciencesinstname:Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)instacron:UFPRporhttps://phenomenology.com.br/index.php/phe/article/view/64/49Copyright (c) 2020 Phenomenology, Humanities and Sciencesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Camila Ferreira de2024-04-15T18:35:12Zoai:phenomenology.com.br:article/64Revistahttps://phenomenology.com.br/index.php/phePUBhttps://phenomenology.com.br/index.php/index/oaicontato@phenomenology.com.br || aholanda@yahoo.com2675-46732675-4673opendoar:2024-04-15T18:35:12Phenomenology, Humanities and Sciences - Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)false |
