Abstract

The intention of this article is to present the path taken by the individual who understands himself as skeptical. Skepticism is seen as contrary to the dogmatic position, marked by the defense of arguments and theses as truths. Despite the definition of skepticism: as a posture marked by disbelief, skepticism cannot be understood only for this; that is, thinking the skeptical individual, he is not seen as such due to his willingness to oppose theses for the pure pleasure of carrying it out, before that, the skeptic's disbelief and opposition are almost natural, as inescapable results of their way of proceeding. Therefore, to understand the process that leads someone to become a skeptic and to stand against dogmatism, in the first section we will seek to present philosophical skepticism. In the second section, an attempt will be made to present the skeptical itinerary through which his identity is established. In the last section, we will try to highlight which are the points of dogmatism attacked by the skeptic in order to demonstrate its impossibility as a philosophical position.

Author Biography

Francisco Alvarenga Junnior, Faculdade Jesuíta de Filosofia e Teologia

PhD student in Philosophy at the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). Master in Philosophy from the Jesuit Faculty of Philodophy and Theology (FAJE). Graduated in philosophy from Instituto Santo Tomás de Aquino (ISTA).

Em nosso presente momento, em que uma grande pandemia assola o mundo, é preciso que estejamos atentos às contribuições que a Filosofia pode dar à área da saúde, assim como as diversas áreas da saúde podem dar à Filosofia. É fato bastante conhecido que a Filosofia desde o seu início se debruçou sobre diversos temas, inclusive o tema da saúde, a partir da própria compreensão da natureza. O ser humano como ser-lançado-no-mundo (para usarmos a expressão de Heidegger) sempre se colocou diante da natureza com uma atitude ambivalente. Por um lado uma atitude de temor, espanto, e por outro lado com uma atitude de admiração e dependência. Esse caráter ambivalente da relação do homem com o mundo vai desenvolver-se em reflexões que ora destacarão o primeiro sentimento, ora destacarão o segundo sentimento.
