A Questão do Logos em Heidegger e Lyotard: A urgência de um "outro pensar" na condição pós-moderna

Authors/Creators

Description

The intention of this writing is, briefly, to think about some lines of the “postmodern condition”, in the work of the Frenchman Jean-François Lyotard and, with him and from him, to question if and where there were (or not) real ruptures in the form of thinking inherited from modernity. In this, we stress, with Heidegger, how much this supposed rupture still maintains basic elements of modern logos, mainly with regard to the issue of technique. Cracks, tensions, some conflict were created; but the modern way of thinking still prevails in this attempt at a break that has been called postmodern, and this seems to occur emphatically due to the role played by technology in structuring and legitimizing philosophical and scientific knowledge. Against this, Heidegger comes up with the outline of “another way of thinking”, which goes beyond this questioning and the attempt at destruction and rupture: what “can save us” seems to be the refoundation of a logos, a new method of thinking, that, starting from the understanding of the extreme danger that the trap of modern technology offers us, go ahead, continue, follow this destruction and elaborate a reconstruction from the rubble.
