CORBINIANO, Simone Alexandre Martins. Logical-historical conditions of knowledge and formation: the contributions of dialectical epistemology. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2016, vol.30, n.60, pp.647-667. ISSN 1982-596x.  https://doi.org/10.14393/REVEDFIL.issn.0102-6801.v30n60a2016-p647a667.

One of the fundamental questions underlying dialectical epistemology is the recognition of the historical character of objective human activity and its logical development. Historicity points to the premise that reality, as an object to be known, is sensitive human activity; it is praxis mediated through work. In this sense, the logical capacity of thought maintains an indispensable correspondence with the historical category, which is people’s objective reality and their material conditions of existence. The possibilities of the logical category occur in the field where thought meets historical development, stretching beyond common sense, and escaping abstract speculations. In capitalist society, especially from the Taylor and Ford rationality onwards, formation has distanced itself from critical, political and autonomous thought, thereby weakening the logical or theoretical conditions of formation. This study is a prelude to the drafting conditions of historical reality and thought, despite the rationalization to which it is submitted by capitalism.

Keywords : Historicity; Thought; Practice; Capitalism; Formation.
