Book, Philosophy in common: to read together[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. COMMON PHILOSOPHY exists to establish dialogues. In dark times, permeated by disillusionment with ideas and projects, including human ones, philosophy appears as a certain revamped faith. A path to the possible pleasures of life. A solution to the political and economic crisis. But in a playful way. “The text does not present any pretense of finished knowledge, it does not intend — nor could it — be concluded”, says the author, who sees the book as an instrument of encounter. So that we can think together. In simple and clear language, Marcia Tiburi creates a book-device, through which she leads us to seek philosophy not as a history of ready-made ideas. But, mainly, as a method, as a way of thinking. Philosophy is seen here as the opposite of shared thinking in which consensus and agreement are the goals. It must be clarification about the truth that we seek through reflection alongside each other and that can lead us to decisions, actions, changes, a more careful look at what exists. PHILOSOPHY IN COMMON deals with perspectives, the way in which each look forms its own vision of the world, with its symbolic contours and emotional charge. Fundamentally, it has the great merit of combining two characteristics that rarely appear together: a great strength of thought and an enviable objectivity of presentation.
