Abstract: |
By considering reality as a many- sided fact and man as a multi- intentional being, we ' apprehend the need to arrange, select and organize the experiences we have, in order to attain adequate understanding of the reality. The apparent neutrality of the real fact, as well as the apparent objectivity of the interpreter, direct us, however, to replace objects with models integrated in the culture long ago, thus hindering an adequate projection to the future.The many-sided and multi- intentional features are consequently reduced, the genuine vision being distorted by the mediate interference of "paradigmatic" models that obstruct the development of new ways of thinking. To demystify these models is an essential condition. This requires implementation of new didactics to help us to approach knowledge as a way of thinking, relating, interpreting and discovering.To cover this complex problem we must be permeable to a conceptual order. Heuristics permits us to reach that aim by embracing all variables both of subject and object and proposing structures to freely articulate different ways of thinking. The structures developed in the presente work quantitatively and qualitatively relate the ways of thinfing with language. We recognize in the first place that the linguistic systems are imposed on each type and temporal variation of thought. Also that the technical inventions are differently assimilated and that these differences are incidental to their use. Eight different types of thought, articulated in a model wich we consider keynote for the understanding and prediction of the cultural future, are here analyzed. These are: 1) corporal or somatic; 2) manual or instrumental; 3) technical, analitical and methodical; 4) abstract, scientific; 5) aestetic with ludic component; 6) rythmic- temporal; 7) philosophic comprising mythical- religious component and 8) concrete, poetic of the singular fact. The heuristic attitude applied in this analysis has the purpose of discovering facts through different optics. Also to arrive at the solution of problems in a different way and fundamentally to formulate new issues. |
