Human training as a holistic construction in the hybridization between mind and body

Abstract

The present article is a bibliographic review on human formation, structured from the mind and body hybridity in the everyday relationship. The purpose of the text is to demonstrate that human formation goes beyond the purely cognitive question, building a relationship between the practical situations of the experience with the conceptual ones. For this purpose, authors from the field of philosophy, sociology, theology and education, such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty, James K. A. Smith and Martin Heidegger, were chosen to theoretically support human formation through mind and body hybridity. The research was developed theoretically, analyzing the writings of the authors mentioned above and others, based on the investigation of the hybridity of mind and body in human formation in the family, school and society. In this way, broadening the understanding of education, relating mind and body hybridity, enables a holistic human education, which contemplates the complexity of life, and contributes to greater assertiveness in relation to the preparation of students to interpret the context of today's society. With the present study, it was verified that the human formation, from the mind and body hybridism, is a construction that occurs in all spaces and throughout life, however, in the phase of childhood, adolescence and youth, the bases that guide choices in adult life, having a breadth that relates mind and body.
