UNA REGOCIJADA LECTURA DEL TEXTO ELOGIO A LA RAZON ...

Nelly Nieves
left the great theory shutdown in a very badly position. The well- known
scientific incapacity demonstrated by the modern thought hit bottom.
Located before the possibility of a sensitivity that takes distance from
the totalizer and qualifying habit which still makes nest to the interior of
our sociological productions, it is worth to ask ourselves for one more
ecological and global manner to consider the social reality , to review the
use of categories and concepts before the imminent danger of the
explanatory and totalizer slant. Opening the passage to the common sense,
not as a moment to surpass but as a way to think that translates popular
wisdom with the different meanings of weak, brute and ordinary , and
unable of reaching the scientificity level from which the modern thought
was so boasted. However, other times and other voices take the lead to
understand this new sociality that emerges capable of letting themselves
caress by a thought of attendance that leads favorably towards the
complex conjunction of approaches where the intellect and sensitivity
are inseparable.
Key words: modern thought, new sociality, sensitivity, quotidian, ecological
space, institutor, instructed and sensible reason.
“Confrontados como estamos todos al término de las grandes
certidumbres ideológicas, conscientes igualmente de la fatiga que van
granjeándose los valores culturales que han formado la modernidad y
habiendo constatado finalmente que ésta ya no tiene mucha confianza
en si misma, ha llegado el momento inevitable de alejarse un poco para
delimitar, con la mayor lucidez posible, la socialidad que emerge ante
nuestra mirada.”(Maffesoli, 1996:13).
El texto, Elogio de la razón sensible, constituye una empática
posibilidad de reflexión, que tiene sus cimientos en compartidos espacios
de reflexión y acción dentro de la institucionalidad académica, un
encuentro e inestimable acercamiento capaz de sensibilizar la mente y el
alma para penetrar, a estos nuevos tiempos, que corren en el abordaje
de lo pequeño, lo efímero, lo inesperado, lo inmediato, lo hermoso y lo
lúdico.
