Abstract
En la evolución conceptual de la acedia escolástica a la melancolía moderna en los marcos del tema más general de las pasiones en el Barroco se nos hace indispensable la consideración del concepto de la sindéresis como la versión cristiana de la tradicional “cura sui” (epimeleia heautou) que adquiere, ya en la modernidad, la forma del “buen sentido” o “sentido común”, la noción básica para toda la Edad Moderna. Las fórmulas propuestas por B. Gracián en su “Oráculo manual” son consideradas aquí en esta perspectiva.
The conceptual evolution from scholastic acedia to modern melancholy within the limits of the larger theme concerning Passions of Baroque cannot be considered more or less completely without the concept of sinderesis which is a Christian version of the traditional “cura sui”. In Modern Times this acquires the form of “good sense”, “common sense”, the basic notion for modern culture. We have analyzed from that perspective the terms used by B. Gracian in his “Manual oracle”.
Palabras clave: sindéresis, buen sentido, prácticas de sí, cuidado de sí, cogito.
Keywords: sinderesis, common sense, practices of the self, care of the self, cogito.
