Linguagem, ciência e arte - Considerações a partir do drama barroco de walter benjamin

Abstract

The wealth, diversity and complexity of Walter Benjamin's thoughts led us to broaden our understanding of some aspects of his ideas, notably those that refer to a reflection of the role of the truth in the hegemonic philosophical-scientific discourse and its relation to the artistic language as a redimensioning vehicle of the process for the human knowledge creation. In this sense, we have chosen the work The Origin of German Tragic Drama as an idea reference towards our worries, highlighting the role of individual experience in order to establish narratives which are able to build a social memory, and technical and technological perseverance as central for the new human perceptions. Such ideas have revealed how modern and important his writings are as far as understanding human beings is concerned.
