RODRIGUES, Elisandro; MARANGON, Márcio Luís  e  SCHULER, Betina. Stultitia in contemporaneity and the importance of reading and writing in schools and universities. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.75, pp.1297-1320.  Epub 16-Jan-2024. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v35n75a2021-62463.

This paper is a theoretical essay grounded on Foucault’s investigations of Greek-Roman Antiquity, particularly his studies on Seneca, in order to recover the concept of stultitia and use it to think about our times. From the diagnosis of a present of super-acceleration and super-performance, in which one competes with oneself and attention is dispersed, passivity is precisely in not being possible to stop and look at the others and ourselves. For this contemporary unrest, we point out the importance of schools and universities, as well as the figure of the master, who, by means of reading and writing, may invite the other to look after the others and oneself.
