Abstract

TORRIGLIA, Patricia Laura. First approaches to the being of reflection: daily life as the basis of the process of knowledge. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2019, vol.14, n.1, pp.297-318.  Epub Apr 17, 2019. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/praxeduc.v.14n1.016.

In this text, we present some preliminary discussions regarding the genesis of knowledge and the different representations that enable us to grasp the objective reality with the focus on the daily being. The main references are publications of the Hungarian author György Lukács, particularly, Estética: a peculiaridade do estético, from 1966. We assert that the heterogeneity and universality of daily life can widen and extend its limits as long as we consider the necessary overcoming of limited knowledge to merely reproduction of "the same", although there are repetitions that constitute the reproduction of existence and are therefore necessary. In the current sociability, this way of reproducing life, most often is conditioned to the "stomach needs", constraining the possibilities - for most people - of access to objectifications and generic activities oriented "to the needs of fantasy", reducing human action to passivity before the world's events and phenomena. Considering this context, we present some aspects of the constitution of human life from the trajectory of daily life since the complexity of the historic process is implicit in it, being the beginning and the end of every human activity. Thus, everyday life is an important dimension of analysis that favors the understanding of the movement of the different knowledge expressed in it, which can improve the daily life of historical and factual subjects. From this understanding, we discuss the different reflections of the same reality - daily, scientific and aesthetic - that allow the appropriation of the real, each with its own specificity and in a movement of ontological oneness.

Keywords : Daily life; Reflection theory; Process of knowledge.
