Propedeutics of the philosophical game: between Alice, chess and the spider

Abstract

The present article has as its object the argumentation about the specificity of the
philosophical study and its peculiar nature of treatment of concepts within a field of modalities. Our
objective is to demonstrate the idea that the relations between object, method and content in
philosophy are strictly associated with the constructions of understanding abstract and erudite
models of thought. In this sense, we will show that philosophy establishes its own conditions of
textual validation, identifying in a peculiar way the distinctions of philosophical thinking, its
structure, discerning it from other ways of thinking or knowl edge. What are the procedures of
philosophical work? What is the movement that presents itself in the task of philosophizing and in
the teaching and learning of Philosophy? How to base the elements for the reading of philosophical
texts? It is within these questions that we will argue the work of understanding philosophical
questions through tessitura, formulation and solving puzzles, which involve the characters of
intellectual erudition.
