Abstract(s)
A ética utópica: Do homo sacer ao homo utopicus. Estudos em Giorgio Agamben e Albert Camus propõe investigar o significado da utopia como um paradigma filosófico necessário para compreender o ser humano em sua complexidade e contextualidade nas sociedades contemporâneas ocidentais. O estudo faz uma análise interpretativa do homo sacer – as pessoas excluídas de direitos e dignidade nos limites da legalidade e no contexto biopolítico – à luz do estudo de algumas obras: Homo sacer: o poder soberano e a vida nua – I; Estado de Exceção – II, 1; O que resta de Auschwitz – III, de Giorgio Agamben, e da obra O Mito de Sísifo, de Albert Camus. A pesquisa mostra que a importância simbólica e metafórica das relações entre o homo sacer e Sísifo anunciam a compreensão e a emergência do homo utopicus e da ética utópica. A metodologia consiste na realização de pesquisa bibliográfica com revisão de literatura em obras filosóficas, literárias, jurídicas e de direitos humanos, e no desenvolvimento de uma base teórica para sustentar de modo crítico-argumentativo e interpretativo as questões investigadas a fim de atingir os objetivos propostos. A relevância desta pesquisa se faz sentir pela necessidade de uma profunda imersão epistemológica diante de paradigmas que por um lado impedem o belo dia almejado desde especialmente a teoria política aristotélica mas por outro lado não impedem que sociedades democráticas contemporâneas estejam em (ou a um passo de) um estado de exceção como paradigma da política contemporânea.
The research The utopian ethics: From homo sacer to homo utopicus. Studies in Giorgio Agamben and Albert Camus proposes to investigate the meaning of utopia as a philosophical paradigm needed to understand the human being in its complexity and contextuality in Western contemporary societies. The study makes an interpretative analysis of Homo sacer – as people excluded from their rights and dignity within the limits of legality and bio-political context – through the study of Giorgio Agamben’s Homo Sacer: the sovereign power and bare life – I; State of Exception – II, 1; What remains of Auschwitz – III) and The Myth of Sisyphus from Albert Camus. The research shows that the symbolic and metaphorical importance of relations between homo sacer and Sisyphus announces the understanding and the emergence of homo utopicus and the utopian ethics. The methodology consists on bibliographic research with literature review on philosophical, literary, legal and human rights works, and the development of a theoretical basis to give critical, argumentative and interpretative support to the issues investigated and to achieve the proposed objectives. The relevance of this investigation is due to the necessity of a deep epistemological immersion in paradigms that delay the beautiful day intended since especially the Aristotelian political theory but do not prevent contemporary democratic societies to be (or almost be) in a state of exception as paradigm of contemporary politics.
