Thought and its word of mouth

Cultivating intelligence between new discourses and that ancient passion for understanding

Abstract

The text offers a reflection on the possibility of educating intelligence beyond any functional reductionism, valorizing the event of the word, the responsibility of understanding, and the connection with lived experience. In light of a philosophical-pedagogical perspective that recognizes experience and relationality as the primary loci of thinking, perspectives emerge that do not seek to be exhausted by dichotomy but rather question the simulation of intelligence based on the territory of understanding.
Experience becomes thinkable only when translated into language, through a discursive semiotics that is not a mere instrument, but the very environment of thought.
Experience, language, and thought interact in a dynamic and circular way. Discourse does not simply transcribe experience: it grounds it, gives it form, and makes it an object of reflection.
