Fenomenologia do jogo

Abstract

This dissertation aims to understand the concept of the game, in light of the philosophical hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer, as a way to rehabilitate the truth of art and its implications for today's thinking about games. From the context of the methodological hegemony of the natural sciences during the Aufklärung, exposed in the first part of the book Truth and Method, Gadamer criticizes the position of the Geisteswissenschaft, conformed by the scientism of the time, and proposes the resumption of humanistic concepts until then left aside. Against the idea of Kant's aesthetic awareness and consequent subjectivity of art, the philosopher proposes that we think of as an ontological experience, illustrated by the game. In the circular structure of understanding the movement back-and-forth characteristic of the game leads to the truth of art that does not end in the experience and is constantly reshaping. This notion undermines the promise of Aufklärung today predominant in common sense, making room for new ways to obtain the truth. The methodology used was the literature and conceptual research, proposing a presentation and systematization of game problems and its organization as a concept operative within a humanist reading that supports the study of games
