Sociologia: tempo, indivíduo e sociedade

Abstract

The aim of the present work is to problematize the concept of social identity, usually mobilized in discussions about minorities and vulnerable populations, based on Spinoza’s (1632-1677) thinking. The problematization that is being proposed seeks to put into question the conception of social identity as essence, also analyzing the relationship between identity and the individualization process, social identity and the spinozano concept of common, as well as the possibility of thinking about an identity becoming able to escape essentialism, but without neglecting the existence of individual and social moods or temperaments, forged by historical experience. The methodology will consist of bibliographical review on the subject, with incursions in the fields of philosophy and sociology
