Transcendence, Everyday life, Speech, ListeningAbstract
This article discusses spirituality as a path or movement beyond oneself, considering everyday life from the experience of speech and listening. We start from biological life in the context of the fundamental needs associated with survival. Next, we show how the human being builds, on the basis of these needs, a cultural life that transcends biological life without, however, overcoming it. Our reflections have as main reference the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, highlighting the tension between the body as an organism of nature and the body as a work of art. We conclude that prose, the fruit of speech and listening, is fundamental to build spirituality in everyday life.
