Abstract

FERRARO, José Luís Schifino. Life Concept: a debate in the light of education. Educ. Real. [online]. 2019, vol.44, n.4, e90398.  Epub Nov 14, 2019. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-623690398.

Reestablishing the concept of life at the center of the epistemological discussion is essential to understanding its power and effects within a discourse that, prior to being scientific, is philosophical. In this sense, the present essay provides some insights into the concept of life by placing it in a kind of grid of intelligibility created according to authors such as Nietzsche, Bachelard, Canguilhem, Wittgenstein, Foucault, Deleuze, Guattari, and others. Thus, it is a possible epistemological approach to this concept at the interface between philosophy and the biological sciences with practical references from the field of education, where its function has been observed.

Keywords : Life Concept; Discourse about Life; Epistemology; Education; Biology.
