This volume, The Brazilian Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science, is the first attempt to present to a general audience, works from Brazil on this subject. The included papers are original, covering a remarkable number of relevant topics of philosophy of science, logic and on the history of science. The Brazilian community has increased in the last years in quantity and in quality of the works, most of them being published in respectable international journals on the subject.

The introduction intends to be useful to the reader, and not only to the specialist, helping them to evaluate the increase in production of this country within the international context.
This book reviews the evolution of Biosemiotics and gives an outlook on the future of this interdisciplinary new discipline.

The book is divided into three parts: Part I Life, Meaning, and Information Part II Semiosis and Evolution Part III Physics, medicine, and bioenergetics It starts by laying out a general historic...

This collection of essays brings together diverse but interrelated perspectives on art and perception based on the philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Although Merleau-Ponty focused almost exclusively on painting in his writings on aesthetics, this collection also considers poetry, literary works, theater, and relationships between art and science. In addition to philosophers, the contributors include a painter, a photographer, a musicologist, and an architect. This widened scope offers important philosophical benefits, testing and providing evidence for the empirical applicability of Merleau-Ponty's aesthetic writings. The central argument is that for Merleau-Ponty the account of perception is also an account of art and vice versa. In the philosopher's writings, art and perception thus intertwine necessarily rather than contingently such that they can only be distinguished by abstraction. As a result, his account of perception and his account of art are organic, interdependent, and dynamic. The contributors examine various aspects of this intertwining across different artistic media, each ingeniously revealing an original perspective on this intertwining.
Occult Aesthetics: Synchronization in Sound Film opens up an often-overlooked aspect of audiovisual culture which is crucial to the medium's powerful illusions. Author Kevin Donnelly contends that a film soundtrack's musical qualities can unlock the occult psychology joining sound and image, an effect both esoteric and easily destroyed.

Pluralismo na psicanálise é um livro-coletânea que cumpre a iniciativa de dar visibilidade aos resultados das atividades da linha de pesquisa intitulada Filosofia da Psicanálise do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia (PPGF) da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUCPR). Em suas atividades, ela contempla disciplinas, seminários, orientações, congressos, editorações, traduções, projetos em parcerias nacionais e internacionais, entre outros. Neste livro, o leitor encontrará capítulos de seus membros e de alguns colaboradores nacionais e internacionais, apresentando temáticas caras à pesquisa filosófica, de modo a constituírem uma amostragem do ocorrido.
Os ensaios reunidos neste livro abordam aspectos particulares e questões específicas da metapsicologia freudiana. Esses aspectos dizem respeito, sobretudo, aos principais problemas com os quais ela se defronta: a natureza do mental; sua relação com os processos cerebrais; a justificativa da hipótese do inconsciente; as questões envolvidas na elaboração de uma teoria da consciência e de suas relações com a mente inconsciente; o problema mais amplo das relações entre a mente e o corpo, onde entra em cena a dimensão pulsional do psiquismo.
Sofistas, Hobbes, Pascal, Marx, Nietzsche e Freud recebem aqui o olhar agudo de seis filósofos-professores que, além de se preocuparem com a pesquisa, dedicam-se a traduzir em termos de aulas suas descobertas e os conteúdos filosóficos essenciais dos pensadores em destaque.
Esse volume propõe-se a apresentar um conjunto de temas relativos à psicanálise freudiana que se prestem a subsidiar uma introdução histórica e epistemológica a seus fundamentos. Ênfase maior é concedida ao período inicial da teorização de Freud, uma vez que os trabalhos pertencentes a essa fase são frequentemente negligenciados nos estudos introdutórios a seu pensamento.
