JOSGRILBERG, Rui de Souza. For a phenomenology of the ages of life. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.3, pp. 299-307. ISSN 1809-6867.

Our point of depart is the generative phenomenology of the last phase of Husserl that opened the possibility for phenomenological studies of the ages of life. The ages of life are understood as successive and integrative syntheses of the body motricity in its relation to the meaning of the world. The lived materiality of meaning in the body is taken as the first mode of intentionality. The relation of sense is constituted with others by intersubjectivity. The ages of life, in its first three syntheses, are categorized according to the appropriation of meaning in relation to language and following the classic Latin tradition: infans (not or pre-speaking), puer (the speaking child) and adulescens (the need new narrative of self in relation to the world).

Keywords : Ages of life; Generativity; Body motility; Relation and appropriation of meaning; Infans; Puer; Adulescens.
