From Fear to Boredom: Passions and Education in Eric Weil’s Thought
Keywords:
Éric Weil, passions, education, fear, boredomAbstract
Several representatives of contemporary political philosophical thought have made an important contribution to the links that can be established between the problem of the passions (affections, emotions, feelings, etc.) and the field of human action (moral, social and political). In this context, the present study takes into account the contribution of the French-German philosopher Éric Weil, still quite unknown in the Spanish-speaking world. Based on the work proposed by Weil regarding the understanding of the problem of passion or passions in individuals and how to face the exercise of their education, we propose here a more direct look at the affections-passions of fear and boredom in their incidence in contemporary moral, social and political life.
