A presente obra possui o condão de promover ponderações sobre a necessidade latente de uma reconstrução não europeizada dos Direitos Humanos em relação aos povos indígenas brasileiros, como método de exercício da cidadania no Estado Democrático. Em razão disso, é preciso considerar que o "modelo" de Direitos Humanos adotado pelo Brasil calca-se em uma construção europeizada do "mínimo ético", o que é possível em razão da conservação da colonialidade do poder, que, por conseguinte, não considera as demandas de povos periféricos. Considerando-se a historicidade como elemento estrutural dos Direitos Humanos, propôs-se uma reconstrução pautada no decolonialismo; na te...
A Administração Pública é um cliente cobiçado por qualquer organização que pretenda vender seus produtos ou serviços, diante do considerável volume de bens e serviços necessários à sua atuação e à vultuosidade das obras que realiza. Essa condição, alinhada aos princípios que regem a atuação da Administração Pública, exige que a efetiva contratação seja precedida de procedimentos que garantam lisura ao processo, a isonomia na escolha do fornecedor e, ao mesmo tempo, a eficiência no uso de recursos públicos, tanto em relação ao preço quanto na qualidade daquilo que se recebe. A Nova Lei de Licitações e Contratos (Lei 14.133/2021) estabelece um novo marco legal p...

The language of science has many words and phrases whose meaning either changes in differing contexts or alters to reflect developments in a given discipline. This book presents the authors’ theories on using ‘conceptual profiles’ to make the teaching of context-dependent meanings more effective. Developed over two decades, their theory begins with a recognition of the coexistence in the students’ discourse of those alternative meanings, even in the case of scientific concepts such as molecule, where the dissonance between the classical and modern views of the same phenomenon is an accepted norm. What began as an alternative model of conceptual change has evolved to incorporate a soc...
How should a judge's moral convictions bear on his judgments about what the law is? Lawyers, sociologists, philosophers, politicians, and judges all have answers to that question: these range from ÒnothingÓ to Òeverything.Ó In Justice in Robes, Ronald Dworkin argues that the question is much more complex than it has often been taken to be and charts a variety of dimensionsÑsemantic, jurisprudential, and doctrinalÑin which law and morals are undoubtedly interwoven. He restates and summarizes his own widely discussed account of these connections, which emphasizes the sovereign importance of moral principle in legal and constitutional interpretation, and then reviews and criticizes the mo...
In this important work, Dr. Felipe Fierro offers a comprehensive view on the subject of Introduction to the Study of Law, in which he revives the use of Gnoseology, Philosophy, History and Logic as Auxiliary Sciences; and exposes how the abandonment of such has contributed to the exponential growth of Skepticism and Relativism, currently prevailing in the legal world. The above, through extensive experience in teaching Law from the Aristotelian-Thomistic platform, based on the elementary assumption that we must first prove the existence of the object of study, and contrast main legal branches in topics such as: what is Law?, why is Science?, what are Law, Justice, Facultative rights and the ...
