Abstract

CARDONA, Luis Fernando. "Stop crying and talk": Existence, vulnerability and delegation. Nat. hum. [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.1, pp. 97-121. ISSN 1517-2430.

In this text, we want to examine the experience of pain in the community space. We examine here the scene of the tragedy of Euripides Suppliant where Theseus invites Adrasto to stop mourn and start talking, because only in speech everything comes to an end. This scene allows us to show how the experience of human suffering with the phenomenon of the delegation as discharge burden of pain is articulated. This also shows how human existence is linked to a critical vulnerability that arises from our physicality. Therefore, we can take away from the ontology of care developed by Heidegger and complement the existential analysis with philosophical anthropology by Blumenberg.

Keywords : existence; pain; delegation; Heidegger; Blumenberg.
