Abstract

The aims that animates this research is to demonstrate how the theoretical construction of the aspects of the foundations of the will, perceived in a final configuration in Kantian thought, requires by way of searching for an autonomous instance of desire, disengaged of the heteronomy of the contingent, which appears first in the Christian Middle Ages construction, establishing the predominance of the formal aspect of the action over its material aspect in the ethical-political field in the West. The theoretical basis of our hypothesis is guided by the relationship between the formal (intentionality – want) and concrete (materiality – act) of political action. Such a configuration will be demonstrated from the construction of a theory of the will, which has arisen within the medieval Christianity, expanded and refined by several western authors, and your more formatting done in modern thought, in which the rational construction of formalism is your complete maturation in Kantian construct.

Author Biography

Marcone Costa Cerqueira, Doutorando em filosofia no departamento de pós-graduação em filosofia da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.

Licenciado em filosofi; mestre  em filosofia; doutorando em filosofia.
O necropoder decide quem tem o direito de viver, porque tem valor de mercado, e quem se pode matar ou deixar morrer porque a vida não tem um valor em si mesma, mas só pode ser valorada dentro de um certo jogo de relações em que alguns não podem jogar porque são meros joguetes, simples instrumentos de interesses que muitas vezes nem conseguem compreender.
