A "antropologia" do Guerreiro: a história do conceito de homem parentético*: em memória a Eliana Guerreiro Ramos (1949-2003)

Abstract

No presente artigo destacamos, da trajetória intelectual do sociólogo Alberto Guerreiro Ramos, a sua constante preocupação com a condição do homem contemporâneo. Neste sentido, dois momentos em sua trajetória podem ser diferenciados: no primeiro, fortemente influenciado pelo pensamento de intelectuais cristãos, o autor apegou-se à categoria de pessoa humana; no segundo, já demonstrando autonomia frente àquelas influências e secularizando a temática, o autor cunhou a expressão homem parentético, esta que, sem perder de vista alguns aspectos associados à primeira, permeou a sua propositura de uma nova ciência das organizações. Esta característica do pensamento guerreiriano nos faz afirmar que a sua sociologia é, predominantemente, antropocêntrica, ou seja, toma o homem como a principal referência no que diz respeito à planificação social e às especulações teóricas.<br>In this paper we call attention to a particular aspect of Alberto Guerreiro Ramos' sociology, which is his permanent preoccupation with the human condition in modern times. In this sense, we identify two different moments in his work: in the first, strongly influenced by the ideas of Christian intellectuals, the author drive its attention to the human nature category. In the second he shows great independence from Christian influences and creates the expression "parenthetic man", which constitutes the basis of his new theory of organizations. Such a characteristic of Guerreiro's thought allows us to affirm that his sociology is an anthropocentric one, which means that human being turns to be the main reference regarding social planning and theoretical speculations

Bernard Lonergan and Alberto Guerreiro Ramos: dialogues between the existential subject and the parenthetical man

“…The work of Guerreiro Ramos is notably marked by a concern with the condition of contemporary man. For Azevedo and Albernaz (2006), it is an anthropocentric sociology, characterized by an "integral humanism" 4 , in which intellectual work denotes the centrality of understanding a human being in all his dimensions. It is possible to observe the conflicts between man and social systems, the need for an expanded understanding of human reason, and numerous traces of a sociology that seeks to consider the essence of the individual.…”

“…It is possible to observe the conflicts between man and social systems, the need for an expanded understanding of human reason, and numerous traces of a sociology that seeks to consider the essence of the individual. discussions of social and racial problems (in which he strongly identified with black culture), on critical thinking as an activist, and on the human condition in market-centered society, in which social science, and more specifically, organizational theory and administrative theory (SOARES, 1995;ALBERNAZ, 2006) are inserted. The ethical commitment to social life (ARTEAGA, 2009), the engagement (BOAVA; MACEDO; ICHIKAWA, 2010), is clear in his work, in his perception of man, critical and conscious of reality.…”

“…Given the complexity, depth, and intellectual greatness of them both, this endeavor focuses on the points where they seem to converge: the debate on human action and its ethical aspects from a substantive point of view. In this context, Guerreiro Ramos created the concept of parenthetical man, defined as a rational being par excellence, and reason is understood in its substantive and noetic dimension (GUERREIRO RAMOS, 1972, 2001ALBERNAZ, 2006).…”

Introduction

“…Meanwhile, Brazilian sociologist Ramos (1989) proposes a new science of organizations based on a substantive rationality which is based on the psychic dimension of human beings and critical capacity. This rationality confronts the market ideology embedded in society (Ventris and Clander, 2005) and is necessary for a new paradigm of management, in contrast to the instrumental rationality of the current development model, leading to a critical, ethical, and humanist attitude to society and nature (Serva, 1997;Azevedo and Albernaz, 2006). Before building on these perspectives, the authors provide a set of arguments on the current, more dominant paradigm in SiME.…”

A terceira margem do rio dos estudos críticos sobre administração e organizações no Brasil: (re)pensando a crítica a partir do pós-colonialismo

“…Nesta coletânea, diferentes dinâmicas organizacionais foram apresentadas como expressões culturais tipicamente brasileiras e, a partir delas, exploraram-se também formatos organizacionais diferentes do tradicional modelo de organização racional e hierárquica. Na esteira desse primeiro trabalho, outras análises também buscaram resgatar importantes autores vinculados aos estudos organizacionais brasileiros, tais como Mauricio Tragtemberg (ver FAriA, 2001;PAES DE PAuLA, 2002), Alberto Guerreiro ramos (ver AZEVEDO;ALBErNAZ, 2006;PAES DE PAuLA, 2007) e Fernando Prestes Motta (ver FAriA, 2003;rOSSATO NETO;CAVEDON, 2006). Ao buscarem compreender a dinâmica das organizações brasileiras a partir de autores brasileiros, esses trabalhos fazem a tentativa de acompanhar um movimento similar à proposta de Grosfogel (2006) em produzir conhecimento a partir de autores e de análises locais ALCADiPANi;BrESLEr, 2001).…”
