The Metaphysics in the Development of Will in Simone Weil
Existence is conceiving one´s entire life
before one´s self and directing it all
in a sense determined by the
will and with one´s labor1.
In this paper, I intend to show the way in which Simone Weil’s methodology of decision is built and how it unfolds in 3 wider steps:
A) The weigh and measure of the values these constructions give way to.
B) The way these are woven into practical decision.
C) How the limits of each one, opens a door to the next step with the consequent aggrandizement of TRUTH.

Topic: ETHICAL PRAXIS BETWEEN PHILOSOPHY AND EXISTENCE
Why did the civil society after the disquiet flurry of revolution dissolve? What can Søren Kierkegaard’s essays Two Ages and Works of Love tell us about the acts of revolution? How can the experiences of ethical praxis established by V. Havel and J. Patočka teach us? How can we encourage the praxis of responsible citizenship? What kind of dissent is possible and needed?

Topic: How to avoid the totalitarianism of consumerism: ethics of otherness from a "historical point of departure".
Kierkegaard will be presented in the context of modernity and criticism of the ruling (non)ideology. How at the core of the ideology of choice to think about the choice of the most essential decision? And what is subjectivity, so that the choice can be reflected?
How is with a concrete practical-ethical choice of single individual primary to any theory?
It is also to deepen the concept of reduplication of last year's theme of the symposium in honor of Kierkegaard About the new oikonomy of relationships. From this context we can thematize Kierkegaard thought in view of gender studies, theory, psychoanalysis, critical theory, etc..
