Introduction to a Negative Approach to Argumentation
This work deals with argumentation in philosophy. In the “affirmative” view of argumentation, each party thinks it is right while all other positions are wrong; argumentation is seen as guided by a set of rules that should lead to the resolution of the dispute in favor of one party. This book advances a critique of such an approach, proposing instead a negative one, the central idea of which is that each party organizes the elements of the problem concerning the definition of terms, the assumptions to be accepted, and the types of logical resources being used. The negative approach attempts to modify the ethics of philosophical discussions, moving towards pluralism, a diversity of perspe...

Homens da Tarde
Romance inédito do filósofo Mário Ferreira dos Santos, Homens da Tarde é – além de uma leitura adoravelmente perturbante – uma ficção que ilumina o pensamento desse autor. A trama imagina o cotidiano de personagens que aparecem no diálogo editado pela Coleção Logos, Filosofias da Afirmação e da Negação. Paulsen é um funcionário público entediado com sua rotina monótona. É ocasionalmente provocado à reflexão pelo colega de trabalho, Josias, e pelo amigo comum a ambos, Pitágoras. Sobretudo, é desestabilizado pela paixão que vê nascer por uma moça, Joana. Outro amigo comum àqueles é Vítor, jovem aspirante a poeta que se apaixona pela meiga Inge. As personagens vivem um mundo crepuscular, às vésperas de um conflito global, e experimentam a sua própria situação como quem contempla o entardecer, cujos contornos são obscuros. O luto, a existência de Deus e o caos urbano são alguns dos temas filosóficos que permeiam a narrativa e a tornam inquietante. A edição reproduz o datiloscrito original do livro.

Advising the reader to "diverge without losing his/her sportsmanship," the author selects herein a few dozen books of essays which he read over many decades of life and classifies them from "stunning triumphs" to "actually hateful." Upon the whole he intends rather entertainment than instruction, or disgust by hurting the taste of the mainstream audience.
Brazil, Land of the Past: The Ideological Roots of the New Right
Brazil, Land of the Past scrutinizes the ideological roots of the so-called New Right in Brazil. The book traces the continuity and resilience of a system of thought based on the idea of a God-given hierarchical order to be defended against any social contract and modernizing relativization. It explains in detail how today a diverse movement — which includes actors ranging from the authoritarian Bolsonaro wing to economic liberals to the military to both Catholic and evangelical religious conservatives – assumes unanimously the ideas of this tradition as underlying premises of their political action. Though not always explicitly, this drives the self-declared “liberal-conservative” but rather anti-modernist reaction which claims to liberate an imaginary authentic “Brazil” from an aberrant “State” – and in so doing intends to preserve inherited privilege in an extremely unequal society.
