POR QUE NÃO LIDAMOS COM A REALIDADE DIRETAMENTE, MAS COM UMA RECONSTRUÇÃO MENTAL DELA?
Resumen
Nosso contato com a realidade é “mediado”, pelos sentidos e pelo cérebro, como substratos fisiológicos, e pela mente como instância autoral interpretativa. Não temos contato direto com a realidade: para darmos conta dela, primeiro precisamos de um processo de mediação sensorial e cerebral, interpretativo, reconstrutivo. Esta é uma questão epistemológica árdua, em geral não resolvida, que reaparece na física quântica como interferência do observador na mensuração dos fenômenos subatômicos. Fóton é partícula quando observado; quando não, é onda, sugerindo uma característica da matéria muito surpreendente, por parecer imaterial, dependendo do observador... Na discussão, por vezes acalorada e até mal-educada, aparece uma pletora de termos: construcionismo social; construcionismo como teoria da aprendizagem; construtivismo epistemológico etc. Em grande medida, esta querela divide cientistas exatos e naturais e acadêmicos das ciências sociais e humanidades, tendendo os primeiros a posicionamentos positivistas tradicionais e de produção acadêmica altamente prolífera e respeitável, enquanto os segundos buscam desvelar que, sendo ciência um empreendimento humano, leva a marca humana, cuja validade precisa ser escrutinada não só formalmente.
