| Sumario: | After a path of great discoveries and scientific revolutions, the world stopped gravitating around religion, around God, to revolve around the human being, who, faced with the plurality of thoughts, theories and possibilities, "lost" the meaning of his own existence. He "emptied himself". And not enough, it led Philosophy to a "collapse", conditioning it to a fragmented vision, more adequate to the standards of techniques. This work aims to point out some notes on the importance of Philosophy for the retaking of the sense of existence of the subject as a social agent, based on the reading of Richard Tarnas and Alain Touraine, particularly on the works Epic of Western Thought and The Criticism of Modernity, respectively. The researches lead us to realize that in order to overcome the "crisis" that has been installed in Western culture, the human being must turn his gaze towards himself, seeking to reflect reality from the whole and not from a unilateral vision. Thus, we must conceive a Philosophy incarnated in reality, which seeks social transformation, helping the human being in the process of integral development. |
