Great stories and teleology, common sense and democracy ; Grandes relatos y teleología, sentido común y democracia
The crisis of the big stories questioned teleology as the enabler of totalitarian political outcomes. This crisis gave rise to ways of thinking that they linked epistemological modesy and democratic tolerance. We will look at the Argentinian José Nun's reading of the problem of common sense in Gramsci in the 1980s and its attempt to develop grammatical intuitions through a reading by Wittgenstein. We will point out that these ways of thinking contain, despite their own, forms of aggregation and teleology (the safety of a catastrophe outcome is what makes epistemological and political modesy necessary). We will not only point out the imaginative nature of this ideology (conceiving practice as the practice of a person), but we will also try to highlight its social need at the current juncture. On the basis of these analyses, we intend to review some common evidence of political and social thinking and to restore some key concepts of the Marxist tradition of the Faculty of Humanities and Education Sciences. ; The crisis of the "meta-narratives" pointed to teleology as the element that made possible political totalitarism. This crisis gave place to ways of thought (ideologies) that linked epistemological moderation and democratic tolerance. We will analyze the reading of Gramsci's approach to common sense by the Argentinean sociologist José Nun during the 80s and his essay of developing Gramsci's intuition with the help of a reading of second Wittgenstein. We will point that these ways of thought implies, nevertheless, special forms of totalization and teleology (the certainty of a catastrophic outcome of the history justifi es the requirement of epistemological and political moderation). We not only point the imaginary character of this ideology (to understand practice as the praxis of a subject) but we also try to point to its social necessity in the present conjuncture. With these analyses in mind we try to question some common evidences in current social and political though and to recover some key concepts from ...
