THE TRAGIC IN TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
tragic; teaching; aphorism; Nietzsche
Living involves a tragic condition, from birth and its disruptions, through hopes and discoveries, until we come face to face with finitude and disillusionment in the face of everything that exists. The experiences we live in each part of life, whether good or bad, influence not only who we are, but also how we act and what we think, providing our ability to construct meanings of living in a world that is constantly shattered, to look at adverse situations from different perspectives, to find ways to help us move forward. Nietzsche states: "to live means to be in danger". It is, therefore, this danger - the danger of living - that always lurks in every action or event, which we understand to be involved in the teaching of philosophy regarding its tragic aspect. Assuming a tragic view of the teaching of philosophy, we will seek to approach a philosophy that approaches the body and its affections, its arrangements, as well as the disruptive, conflicting, agonistic aspects that permeate certain existences, based on Nietzsche's thought. Highlighting the tragic, since ancient thought, from the "tragic age of the Greeks", is to bring to the teaching of philosophy itself a "logic of the worst", as Clement Rosset states, a way of thinking that goes against the idealisms of our time. The aim here is to present as a product of this research the result of the workshop "Fragment of Thoughts", in which, based on the writing of aphorisms, students of the E.M.E.F Mário da Silva Bem School, located in the municipality of Juazeiro do Norte - Ceará, during the period from April to August 2024, were able to philosophically address the tragic dimensions of life.
