ABSTRACT
This essay presents the
issue involving the emblematic phrase attributed to Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet
astronaut who was the first human being to go to space, in which he claims not
to have seen God. What is sought to address in this discussion is the
gnosiological dimension that is hidden under such a statement to what extent it
can be attributed and attributed to the Major. It is very common for
contextualized expressions to be attributed to figures that have become
controversial throughout history, without anyone standing up to equalize the
dimension of the exposed. This is an exploratory research, based on the
principles of discourse analysis, content analysis and hermeneutics, in which
we sought to understand the blank spaces left for all these decades around a
subject of such complexity. What can be concluded, after all the systematic
study that involved him, is that it makes no sense for someone who has all
human feats in courage and determination, going to outer space and glimpsing
his home from above, worrying It is said that he had not seen God, unless this
was an answer to a poorly worded and poorly worded question. With a semantic
study character, what is intended to present here is a hermeneutic analysis of
the sentence, supposedly said by the astronaut, in which from the linguistic
analytical point of view, it is not supported as being authored by Major Russo
Yuri Gagarin. From the point of view of human interpretation, from the most
primitive human beings to the most brilliant scientist, this has always been a
question that challenges everyone, going through the ancestral totemic
construction, in which the adored God cannot be found, never seen and those who
encountered him, they were caught up into infinity.
