A Companion to Naturalism
Offering a engaging and accessible portrait of the current state of the field, A Companion to Naturaslim shows students how to think about the relation between Philosophy and Science, and why is both essencial and fascinating to do so. All the authors in this collection reconsider the core questions in Philosophical Naturalism in light of the challenges raised in Contemporary Philosophy. They explore how philosophical questions are connected to vigorous current debates - including complex questions about metaphysics, semantics, religion, intentionality, pragmatism, reductionism, ontology, metaethics, mind, science, belief and delusion, among others – showing how these issues, and philosopher’s attempts to answer them, matter in the Philosophy. In this sense, this collection is also compelling and illuminating reading for philosophers, philosophy students, and anyone interested in Naturalism and their place in current discussions.
Hilary Putnam’s Philosophical Naturalism
Hilary Putnam’s Philosophical Naturalism: Making Philosophy Matter for Life offers a faithful illustration of the trajectory of Putnam’s thought to show how, despite the shifts in opinion on issues of central philosophical importance, his thought reveals a systematic backbone and strong continuities.
Respeito, Sentimento Moral e Facto da Razão
O presente livro é o resultado das pesquisas realizadas em nível de mestrado e tem como objetivo mostrar como é possível interpretar a ligação, sistematicamente crucial, entre o fato da razão e o sentimento de respeito pela lei moral a partir da análise da figura do sentimento moral. Uma das ideias mais controversas entre os comentadores da ética kantiana é justamente saber que função pode desempenhar o sentimento moral, tendo em vista a pretensão de Kant de justificar um critério de avaliação moral baseado na ideia de validade intersubjetiva e universal. Como, então, pode a consciência moral ter influência na práxis e fazer com que o agente seja capaz de tomar interesse pelo agir moral, eis o tema desta investigação.
The Metaphysics of Sensory Experience
What is going on when we are consciously aware of a visual scene, or hear sounds, or otherwise enjoy sensory experience? David Papineau argues controversially for a purely qualitative account: conscious sensory experiences are intrinsic states with no essential connection to external circumstances or represented properties.
Knowledge Communities in Europe
The publication presents research results on a multitude of knowledge exchange processes in post-enlightenment Europe. These focus on the question in how far deeply rooted processes of knowledge exchange by transnational intellectual discourses and international expert communities have contributed to a variety of networks of European intellectual identities and research practices. These practices again constitute a fertile framework for de-territorialised and de-nationalised exchange of knowledge that might contribute to contagious processes of emancipation, cooperation as well as problem solving.
Engaging Kripke with Wittgenstein
This volume draws connections between Wittgenstein's philosophy and the work of Saul Kripke, especially his Naming and Necessity. Saul Kripke is regarded as one of the foremost representatives of contemporary analytic philosophy. His most important contributions include the strict distinction between metaphysical and epistemological questions, the introduction of the notions of contingent a priori truth and necessary a posteriori truth, and original accounts of names, descriptions, identity, necessity, and realism. The chapters in this book elucidate the relevant connections between Kripke’s work and Wittgenstein, specifically concerning the standard meter, contingent apriori, and rule-following. The contributions shed light on how Kripke’s philosophical outlook was influenced by Wittgenstein, and how mainstream analytic philosophy and Wittgensteinian philosophy can fruitfully engage with one another. Engaging Kripke with Wittgenstein will be of interest to philosophers working on Wittgenstein, Kripke, and the history of analytic philosophy.
Ética Nicomachea: Uma Leitura Particularista
A leitura da Ethica Nicomachea de Aristóteles suscitou numerosos comentários e diversas interpretações através dos séculos. Muitos problemas foram levantados e muitas tentativas de solução foram propostas para os mais variados tipos de dificuldade que surgiam do enfrentamento do texto aristotélico. Minha intenção neste trabalho é reconstruir alguns aspectos da argumentação aristotélica tendo em mira um desses problemas que ainda divide os comentadores do grande estagirita. Refiro-me especificamente à divergência quanto ao estatuto normativo da ética aristotélica, ou seja, ao choque de interpretações que produziu as teses particularistas e universalistas no campo da filos...
Defensor Pacis
O presente trabalho aborda os principais elementos do pensamento filosófico de Marsílio de Pádua desenvolvidos no Defensor da Paz (1324), a saber: civitas, lex, legislator humanus, ecclesia e pars sacerdotalis. Buscar-se-á mostrar o papel que a teoria causal (teoria das quatro causas) desempenha na obra, defendendo que a mesma tem importante papel na fundamentação do pensamento político-eclesiológico, seja na sua concepção de civitas ou de ecclesia".
