On the idea of “weak thought” in humanistic pedagogy
Journal Title: Studia Paedagogica Ignatiana. Rocznik Wydziału Pedagogicznego Akademii Ignatianum w Krakowie - Year 2014, Vol 17, Issue 0
Abstract
The article refers to a philosophical idea of “weak thought”, grounded by Italian postmodern philosopher, Gianni Vattimo, which can be seen as a hermeneutical interpretation of cultural facts, including educational ones. Vattimo shows the idea of “weak thought” at the background of two big philosophical streams: dialectic and philosophy of difference. It is a type of reflection, which seeks normative anchorages for itself on the one hand, but gives them provisional status on the other hand, depriving itself of the privilege of universalistic claims. The abovementioned concept reveals the relationships between ethics and hermeneutics, in which the ethics of open continuation is privileged. It also underlines the possibility of weakening the colonizing power of the “strong” (modern and scientific) discourse in the pedagogy. Towards the truth (the truth devoid of the metaphysics) one can reach also through the unscientific path, which stands against the scientism and leads through the area of interpretation.
