Resumo: The objective of this paper is to think the aporia in which the book "Dialectic of Enlightenment" is announced, namely the self-destruction of enlightenment and the pursuit for freedom by rationality that culminates in a regression. Our argument goes through two paths: first, we present the relationship between a kind of anthropology with Freudian bases and a reading of Marx's sociology. We conceive the notion of a psychic structure permeable to the socio-historical conditions of Western human being. That´s an essential condition for the output of the aporia closely related to a psychic anthropology linked to a historical mode of culture and society. Further, we propose a parallel between the possibility of an effective enlightenment by the mythical residue present in the technical rationality thought by Horkheimer and Adorno and the assumption of human helplessness situation in the religious worldview, a Freudian way to achieve a more "scientific" position in relation to reality. In this context, we use part of Weber’s theory as a mean to relate the enlightenment to the religion, precisely in what both have in common, that is, the defense against suffering, anxiety and helplessness. Perhaps it is through the assumption of helplessness in the religious worldview’s rationality, or the assumption of the myth in the enlightenment’s technical rationality, that would lead to the development of a "dialectical anthropology", which would result in the output of the aporia as a historical condition of the human rationality.

Nossa argumentação perfaz dois caminhos: primeiramente, apresentamos a relação existente na obra entre um tipo de antropologia com bases freudianas e uma leitura da sociologia de Marx. Concebemos a noção de uma estrutura psíquica permeável às condições sócio-históricas do ser humano ocidental. Tal condição é imprescindível para a saída da aporia intimamente relacionada a uma antropologia psíquica ligada a um modo histórico da cultura e sociedade. Na sequência, propomos ainda um paralelo entre a possibilidade de um esclarecimento efetivo por meio do resíduo mítico presente na racionalidade técnica apresentada por Horkheimer e Adorno e a assunção da situação humana de desamparo na visão de mundo religiosa, modo freudiano para se alcançar uma posição mais “científica” em relação à realidade. Nesse contexto, utilizaremos rapidamente parte da teoria de Weber como meio para relacionarmos o esclarecimento à religião no que ambos têm em comum, isto é, a defesa contra o sofrimento, a angústia e o desamparo. Talvez seja por meio da assunção do desamparo na racionalidade situada na visão religiosa de mundo, ou ainda, a assunção do mito na racionalidade técnica do esclarecimento, que permitirá o futuro desenvolvimento de uma “antropologia dialética”, o que resultaria na saída da aporia enquanto condição histórica da racionalidade humana.Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2016-06-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/67810.31977/grirfi.v13i1.678Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 13 n. 1 (2016); 391-4102178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/678/394Copyright (c) 2016 Virginia Helena Ferreira da Costainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCosta, Virginia Helena Ferreira da2020-06-30T18:16:50Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/678Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2020-06-30T18:16:50Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false
