Lifeworld is a multi-dimensional concept and reality in philosophy, social sciences and in our practice of living. The present essay explores its different meanings and interpretations starting from Edmund Husserl to Jurgen Habermas in the European intellectual tradition and Sri Aurobindo, Mahatma Gandhi, J.N. Mohanty and Margaret Chatterjee in the Indic traditions. It rethinks the Habermasian idea of colonisation of the lifeworld and argues how we need Gandhian struggles for overcoming this. It argues how lifeworld is a field of satyagraha as it exists in the midst of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. It also argues how lifeworld is a field of lokasangraha—a gathering of people which is also related to atmasangraha—a gathering of souls. With and beyond Habermas, it argues that lifeworld is not only a field of reason but also of intuition and striving for the spiritual in the midst of many rational and infra-rational forces at work in self, culture and society. The essay then links the challenges of lifeworlds to the challenge of living words in our lives—words which give birth to new words and worlds going beyond stasis, stagnation and death of language, culture, self and society. Lifeworld is a field and flow of living worlds which have both a pragmatic and a spiritual dimension. The essay explores the border crossing between pragmatism and society and looks at lifeworlds and living words as fields of spiritual pragmatism.

RESUMO A ciência contemporânea e seus fundamentos metodológicos têm sido impactados pelo fenômeno do big data, que proclama que na era dos dados medidos em petabytes, de supercomputadores e sofisticados algoritmos, o método científico está obsoleto e que as hipóteses e modelos estão superados. As estratégias do big data científico confia em estratégias de análises computacionais de massivas quantidades de dados para revelar correlações, padrões e regras que vão gerar novos conhecimentos, que vão das ciências exatas até as ciências sociais, humanidade e cultura, delineando um arquétipo de ciência orientada por dados. O presente ensaio coloca em pauta as controvérsias em torno da ciência orientada por dados em contraposição à ciência orientada por hipóteses, e analisa alguns dos desdobramentos desse embate epistemológico. Para tal, tomo como metodologia os escritos de alguns autores mais proximamente envolvidos nessa questão.Palavras-chave: Big Data; Método Cientifico; Ciência Orientada por Dados; Ciência Orientada por Hipóteses.ABSTRACT Contemporary science and its methodological foundations have been impacted by the big data phenomenon that proclaims that in the age of data measured in petabytes, supercomputers and sophisticated algorithms the scientific method is obsolete and that the hypotheses and models are outdated.The strategies of the scientific big data rely on computational analysis strategies of massive amounts of data to reveal correlations, patterns and rules that will generate new knowledge, ranging from the exact sciences to the social sciences, humanity and culture, outlining an archetype of data-driven science. The present essay addresses the debates around data-driven science as opposed to hypothesis-oriented science and analyzes some of the ramifications of this epistemological confrontation. For this, the writings of some authors who are more closely involved in this question are taken as methodology.Keywords: Big Data; Scientific Method; Data-Driven Science; Hypothesis-Driven Science.

Origin Of Man

Starting with an analysis of Michel Foucault’s notion of biopower as defining feature of modernity, the present essay moves on to discuss different interpretations of “life” in the political theories of Giorgio Agamben and Hanna Arendt. The aim is to understand what transformations biopower has undergone since Foucault’s first studies. According to Jürgen Habermas biopower today has turned into liberal eugenics and bioengineering is replacing the natural origin of man causing a crisis of subjectivity, whereas from a Heideggerian point of view, the attempt to redesign human nature by means of biotechnology marks the summit of reifying subjectivism.#

ResumenEste artículo resultado de investigación, busca introducir al lector en los aportes de Thomas Hobbes a la economía como ciencia. Este filósofo, aunque no figura como un autor relevante en los textos tradicionales de pensamiento económico, logró elaborar de manera sólida numerosos conceptos epistemológicos, antropológicos e institucionales recogidos por varias escuelas, entre las que se encuentran los marxistas, neoclásicos y keynesianos, quienes sustentan en ello el control centralizado de la acción humana. Aunque su trabajo originalmente no tuvo un fin eminentemente económico, es posible establecer cómo sus aportes filosóficos tienen alcances en las ciencias sociales, y en especial en la economía. Sus contribuciones se centraron en las nociones de colectivización del individuo y de la planificación centralizada. Además, Hobbes es, al menos en parte, el inspirador del socialismo como modo de orden social centralizado.Recibido: 20/08/2015   Aceptado: 18/11/2015 AbstractThe present essay is the outcome of a research program, and it aims to present the reader the main contributions of Thomas Hobbes to the economic science. Although this thinker has not been considered a relevant author in the traditional textbooks of economic thought, he nevertheless elaborated numerous solid epistemological, anthropological, and institutional concepts which have been incorporated into the theoretical corpus of several schools of thought, like the Marxist, Neoclassical, and Keynesian, concepts that buttress the idea of the centralized control of human action. Despite the fact that his work was not originally intended to be applied in the economic field, it is plausible to admit that his philosophical contributions have had their significance in the social sciences, especially in economics. In particular, these contributions will focus on the notions of collectivization of the individual and central planning. Hobbes is, at least in part, the inspirer of socialism understood as a form of centralized social order.Received: 20/08/2015  Accepted: 18/11/2015

<p>Hermeneutika merupakan sebuah metode interpretasi terhadap sebuah simbol baik berupa teks atau lambang lainnya. Dalam perkembangannya sebagai metode hermeneutika banyak dianut oleh berbagai disiplin ilmu demi mengungkapkan makna yang tersirat dalam sebuah simbol atau teks. Salah satu disiplin ilmu yang menggunakan hermeneutika sebagai metodenya adalah sejarah. Sejarah menggunakan hermeneutika pada bagian interpretasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menunjukan pentingnya hermeneutika dalam kajian filsafat sejarah. Metode penelitian yang diterapkan adalah kualitatif deskriptif-analisis. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan beberapa hal, diantaranya yaitu, varian atau jenis-jenis dalam hermeneutika mulai dari hermeneutika romantis milik Friedrich Ernst Daniel Schleiermarcher, hermeneutika metodis karya Wilhelm Dilthey, hermeneutika fenomenologis yang dibangun oleh Edmund Husserl, hermeneutika dialektis dengan eksemplar Martin Herdegger, hermeneutika kritisnya Jurgen Habermas, dan hermeneutika milik Paul Ricouer yang sering digunakan dalam teks sastra serta yang terakhir metode hermeneutika dekonstruksionis hasil pemikiran Jacques Derrida. Selain itu dibahas juga alasan hermeneutika menjadi sebuah metode dalam filsafat sejarah dan bagaimana cara memahami filsafat sejarah dengan hermeneutika. Sehingga penelitian ini berfokus pada hermeneutika sebagai metode penafsiran teks dalam filsafat sejarah dan varian yang sering digunakan dalam hermeneutika pada kajian filsafat sejarah. Hal ini dilakukan demi membatasi terlalu luasnya objek kajian dalam penelitian.</p>

Resumo O presente artigo objetiva discorrer acerca das relações entre o sintagma Identidade-Metamorfose-Emancipação e o construto Mundo da Vida. Realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica dentro da perspectiva da Psicologia Social Crítica que discute o sintagma supracitado. Privilegiamos aqueles que ofereceram subsídios históricos e epistemológicos para a compreensão do pensamento de Antonio Ciampa e colaboradores e as relações com o pensamento habermasiano mediante o construto Mundo da Vida. Iniciamos as discussões apresentando a formação histórica do pensamento de Ciampa junto à Psicologia Social. Posteriormente, expusemos a consolidação do sintagma Identidade-Metamorfose-Emancipação devido à aproximação com a Teoria Crítica de Jürgen Habermas e as colaborações de Aluísio Lima e Juraci Almeida. Em seguida, discorremos acerca das dimensões do Mundo da Vida mediante sua vinculação com o pensamento filosófico e sociológico de Edmund Husserl, Alfred Schutz, Peter Berger e Thomas Luckmann. Por fim, apresentamos novos interesses de pesquisa como exemplos da própria metamorfose do sintagma.

Common Misconceptions

The theme of identity as a source of representations of self and social relations is at the center of the contemporary sociological debate on dilemmas of modernization and has often been considered as the analytical framework within which such unresolved issues could be caught in their most emblematic profiling. Some of these controversial issues will be taken into account in the present essay through a comparison between the social sciences and the biomolecular sciences perspectives, both increasingly involved in the clarification of the most common misconceptions regarding the immutability of this set of signs and its progressive dissolution.
