Abstract

GONCALVES, Camila Salles. Mass and praxis. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.57, pp. 93-106. ISSN 0101-3106.

This article is concerned with the construction of a point of departure to the comprehension of certain aspects of contemporary life. It points out that Sartre's concept of human praxis and other co-related, as the practico-inert, coined in his critical study of the movement of the dialectical reason, can elucidate the reality of human groups, through the links that constitute them and the practices that define them. The author claims that it is possible to put this philosophical study together with Freud's analysis of mass or group, in order to show that the mass movements are intelligible if the investigator grasps their concrete coming to be in the History.

Keywords : Eros; Group; Mass; Practico-inert; Praxis.
