Palliative Treatment for Advanced Cancer Patients
This book presents an important reflection on the concept and limits of the Fundamental Right to Health as opposed to a supposed “Right to Hope” in the context of the treatment of patients with advanced cancer. The central idea of the work is the question of whether and to what extent patients with advanced cancer have the right to legally demand a palliative treatment whose efficacy has not been proven from the point of view of the desired objectives. The book demonstrates how hope cannot be subject to legal protection and, also, that, even if theoretical-legal reasons were not sufficient for the absence of an abstract right to hope, ethical reasons would be. The work concludes that the...

Nísia Floresta
This Element presents the philosophical contributions of Nísia Floresta, a feminist philosopher of education from the 19th century in early post-colonial Brazil, who defended abolition and indigenous rights. Focusing on five central works (Direitos, Lágrima, Opúsculo, Páginas, and Woman), it shows them connected by a critique of colonialism grounded on feminist principles. Influenced by the practical Cartesianism of Poulain de la Barre through the pamphlets of Sophia, Floresta applies to the social structures the feminist principle that reason has no gender, arguing that a nation's civilizational level depends on whether natural equality is expressed in terms of social rights. Describing the suffering experienced by women, indigenous people, and the black enslaved population, she defends education as a strategy against colonialism. As such, education should aim towards physical and intellectual emancipation, restoring the lost dignity of individuals. Floresta's works thus foreground slavery and colonization as events that shaped philosophical modernity.
A jurisdição constitucional e os direitos fundamentais nas relações privadas: questões contemporâneas
“Estudar a influência que as normas constitucionais exercem sobre as relações privadas e, ainda, do ponto de vista das decisões proferidas pela jurisdição constitucional, é, sem dúvida, realizar a abordagem de uma temática tão ampla quanto atual. Esta tarefa foi enfrentada pelos autores que compõem a publicação, todos vinculados a programas de Mestrado e Doutorado, de diferentes instituições de ensino do País e de Angola. Nesse sentido, considerando a amplitude das relações que se inserem dentro do grande tema ‘Jurisdição Constitucional e Direitos Fundamentais nas Relações Privadas’, os capítulos que conformam a presente obra tratam de questões contemporâneas, atinentes aos direitos fundamentais, que vão desde o direito à saúde, à vida, à dignidade, incluindo a relação entre direito e moral, poderes privados e democracia. Não se descuidou, obviamente, de buscar a visão jurisprudencial dos tribunais pátrios, através da análise das decisões subjacentes aos aos temas abordados”.

Opening the Cage
The picture on the front of this book is an illustration for Totakahini: The tale of the parrot, by Rabindranath Tagore, in which he satirized education as a magnificent golden cage. Opening the cage addresses mathematics education as a complex socio-political phenomenon, exploring the vast terrain that spans critique and politics. Opening the cage includes contributions from educators writing critically about mathematics education in diverse contexts. They demonstrate that mathematics education is politics, they investigate borderland positions, they address the nexus of mathematics, education, and power, and they explore educational possibilities. Mathematics education is not a free enterprise. It is carried on behind bars created by economic, political, and social demands. This cage might not be as magnificent as that in Tagore’s fable. But it is strong. Opening the cage is a critical and political challenge, and we may be surprised to see what emerges.
