A Importância dos Modelos para o Florescimento Humano. O Contributo de Dietrich von Hildebrand

Abstract

Today, more than ever, we talk constantly about a crisis of values. However, this crisis is also associated with the lack or rather the bad conception of models, the great promoters of values in societies. Thus, in this article, I intend to analyze the conception of a model, using, in particular, the thought of the realist phenomenologist, Dietrich von Hildebrand, and how it is important to guarantee human flourishing and social development. For this, I will initially distinguish two types of experiences in the human person. After that, I will analyze the values and primary vocation of every human person. Subsequently, I will approach the conception of the model and his influence on his follower. Then I’ll analyze the love relationship between the model and his follower. Finally, I will focus on the connection between religion and models.
