Abstract
El objetivo de este artículo es revisar la noción de práctica teórica deLouis Althusser para sugerir que esta apunta a un intento muy original de pensar el conocimiento no como algo que tiene que ver con una «conciencia pensante», como sugieren las teorías tradicionales del conocimiento, sino como un proceso y una práctica materiales colectivos. En este sentido, podríamos decir que pensamos con nuestros cuerpos más que con nuestras mentes. Para ello, también revisamos el trabajo de Michel Pêcheux y su conceptualización del conocimiento como un proceso sin sujeto, antes de volver a la petición de Althusser de una nueva práctica materialista de la filosofía.
The aim of this article is to revisit Louis Althusser’snotion of theoretical practice in order to suggest that this points to a highly original attempt to think knowledge not as something that has to do with a ‘thinking consciousness’ as traditional theories of knowledge suggest, but as a collective material process and practice. In this sense, we might say that we are thinking with our bodies rather than our minds. To that end we also revisit Michel Pêcheux’s work and his conceptualisation of knowledge as a process without a subject, before returning to Althusser’s call for a new materialist practice of philosophy.
