Theory, life and follow-up

Among the infernal dichotomies of modernity, certainly little remembered, but
always present is the rupture between theory and practice, empiricists defend the (practical) experience and idealists, the “pure” ideals, not by chance tried to complete themselves in modernity.
Hans-Georg Gadamer wrote in Praise of Theory that if we consider that “all men yearn by nature to know, and that the highest happiness of man resides in” pure theory, “and that its most intimate foundation is] a theoretical being, “if man draws to know he must elaborate what he thinks about things, even if they are grounded in practical relations, it is a theory, a theoretical “construct “.
We post on inventions, sameness and routine spirit, but perhaps the most pernicious in the life of man (which is very practical) is the difficulty of changing directions, habits, routine and mainly of thought, make a rupture, a conversion and then follow.
In history, whenever there was a change in thinking, some break occurred, Spinoza left Judaism and then Christianity when constructing his “theory”, Heidegger went to live in the middle of the black forest, in short, one must “change the route” to change the thinking .
In the bible the disciples of Jesus Simon and Andrew who caught fish, when they met the master, left their nets and went out to walk with him, and the master told them (Mark 1:17): “Jesus said to them,” Follow me and I will make you fishers of men, “and followed him.
But before Andrew and John, who were disciples of John the Baptist (for this he is in the previous text of Mark 1:14), they had gone to tell Peter that they had found the Messiah.
