Ética e política do instante: um tributo a Maurício Lissovsky

In 2010, Maurício Lissovsky taught a graduate course called “The redemption method.” Based on notes and readings in this course, it inquires about the possibility of thinking about ethics and politics of the “instant” – a term frequently used in classes to refer to the messianic apprehension of a singular temporality: the now saturated with tensions. To bring the problem to light, the method of individuation of the philosophical element (Entwicklungsfähigkeit) was used on the discursive set that made up the course above. This study concludes with the questioning about the value of Lissovsky’s propositions in light of the requirement for ethics and politics in current times.
