Horizontes éticos : o cuidado como possibilidade de ser-no-mundo

Abstract

This entitled dissertation, Ethics horizons: the care as the possibility of being- in- the world, aims to reflect and establish exemplifications on the notion of care in Heidegger. The care will be interpreted from the perspective of the existential analytic levels, ontic and ontological, seeking to build ethical horizons through hermeneutic method. The interpretation of care is based on the theoretical ideias of Heidegger: Being and Time and the Letter about Humanism. We emphasize that it does not mean that other Heidegger´s ideas are not used in the course of these reflections, we only highlight the argumentative enphasis around the two mentioned ideias. The basis of argument arises from the following question: Is there the possibility to investigate the ethical horizons in your reflections about being? We started from the hypothesis that it is possible through existing studies about the theme. Given the striking feature of the Heidegger´s ideas, questions relating to unravel and be critical to society of their time within their way of being. This dissertation also seeks to establish the applicability of their theories in the context of contemporary society, in which the rise of science compartment, is still the dominant paradigm. In this context, we want to demonstrate the importance of Heidegger´s reflections within nature, interdisciplinary setting a dialogism between human knowledge, practical and theoretical because Heidegger realized that the lack of care was a stigma of the society in which he lived, in the twentieth century, when the war and the rise of technical sciences were the dominant paradigms. Given the fact that some findings, verified by Heidegger in the twentieth century, about the technological society, are still present nowadays, we see the importance of his reflections for a harmonious coexistence, affective and cooperative society.
