The present article intends to articulate specific themes to the history of philosophy and its disciplinary formation with the use that Merleau-Ponty makes of the history of philosophy, specifically when reading Descartes, in order to show that genuinely philosophical problems can be unfolded from readings that are consistent with the demands methods of the history of philosophy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

My aim in this text is to call attention to possible problems involved in two frequent strategies among Descartes's readers who maintain, on the one hand, that the Cartesian epistemic project is based on the metaphysical foundation of the truth of clear and distinct ideas and, on the other hand, that there is no circle in defending this reasoning which, in some way, depends on the truth of clear and distinct ideas.

The paper examines some key places in G. Vico's work, De antiquissima Italorum sapientia ex linguae latinae originibus eruenda (1710), in which the distinction between physics and metaphysics is never transformed into absolute distance, just as the heterogeneity of the infinite with respect to the finite is not dissolved. This is the great theme of the new metaphysics, concerned with reconciling itself with 'our religion', Christianity, and the limits of human reason in controversy with 'the first true meditated by Renato Descartes'. Man is not only the meeting point of nature and spirit but also the place of evil, of original sin, and yet vis veri, according to Augustine's lesson that helps correct Malebranche. The theoretical novelty lies in the assimilation of the ingenious faculty to the formative forces (memory, imagination and fantasy) capable of carrying out synthetic operations, devalued by Cartesian gnoseology and psychology. If the verum is the factum, the latter is the fruit of 'fictiones', i.e. of mental constructions made by the ingenium and its 'eye', the 'phantasy', capable of referring the metaphysical prototype of the divine truth to human operations.

Understanding a full-body education requires knowledge of corporeity. Therefore, it seems essential to bring this subject to the Graduate Programs in Education in Brazil. This paper sought to identify and analyze Brazilian Graduate Programs in Education which have Body/Corporeity as a line of research. This is a qualitative research of documentary nature. For this, it was identified that 85 universities have Graduate Programs in Education, from which 14 have as research descriptors, the words body, corporeity, and corporal(s). In these 14 universities, it was identified that there are 17 lines of research on body/corporeity studies. The categorization carried out through Content Analysis identified four categories, which are: "body and languages" which brings together six lines of research/Higher Education Institution, followed by "body and culture" with five lines of research, "body and education" and "body and inclusion" with four lines each. It is concluded that the phenomenon body/corporeity is not well studied in Education Graduate Programs, taking into account its facets and complexity. It is dealt with in its integral form, overcoming the Cartesian conception of the supremacy of the mind over the body towards a more comprehensive understanding of human beings.

This essay is divided into two parts. In the first, I briefly return to the progress of Porchat's philosophy, pointing to some of his remarkable discoveries in articles collected in "Towards Scepticism," a collection of 2007, with publications from 1969 to 2005. My first goal is to contextualize the article "Of the Madness Argument", the article that closes the collection, within the work of the philosopher. In the second part, which begins with a review of the Madness Argument, I propose an analysis in which Porchat's argument is translated into sceptical, anti-Cartesian, anti-ultra-rationalist arguments, comparing, for example, to Hume's, but in which the text is also presented as a procedure, practice, therapy, contemporary and original. In this interpretation, it sympathizes with the philosophies in which Porchat recognizes a fascination with what he calls "absolute", accompanies them through their symptomatic tribulations, and leads them to a sceptical resolution. I nevitable are the questions: what can this "absolute" mean? how is the therapeutic procedure conducted? to what sceptical result does it take? Here, in my hypothesis, I find in the argument of madness to consist of rather a mode or trope of scepticism, which comes to redeem philosophical practices inclined to senseless "transmundane spaces", bringing them back to the rich variety of worldly experiences which constitute true philosophies, according to Porchat.

This article examines the idea of conscience in J.-J. Rousseau's Émile from a perspective that combines History of Philosophy and Lexical History. The analysis is contextualized in relation to other writings of the author, especially the Discours sur l'origine de l'inégalité, and within the historical framework of sciences in 17th and 18th centuries, with attention to John Locke's empiricist theory. It intends to investigate the semantic constitution process of "conscience" and "sentiment intérieur" in French language considering certain debates involving Innatism and Mechanism, with emphasis to the contribution of the Cartesian physician Louis de la Forge. The aim of this work is to show the ways in which the idea of conscience in Émile, combined with an interpretation of the inner sentiment associated with Cartesian physiology, establishes significant pillars for the mental and institutional structures that made possible the emergence of what came to be called Modern Subjectivity.

This essay analyzes the relation body and movement to transcendence based on fundamental concepts of the body theme - immanence and transcendence. It takes up principles and ideas from classical authors of philosophy and religion such as Plato and Aristotle, as well as Hegel and Descartes, to address the concrete materiality of the body in the historical-social course and, as it moves, it develops the spirituality that moves and the psychic force that transcends. Among the concepts, it appreciates the corporeality in Merleau-Ponty and his followers and the humanized transcendence in Manuel Sérgio and the scholars of this author. It applies as methodology the review of studies and as methodological procedure the classification of ideas and theoretical principles categorized by the meanings of body, movement, spirituality, and transcendence, in the elected authors. It concludes that in conscious movement, there is a transcendence of bodily limits and levels of spirituality as a continual process of the human trajectory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is a comparative study about the concept of body for piano teaching from the mechanistic and phenomenological approaches. In the mechanistic view, I took as a basis Cartesian dualism, which establishes a substantial separation between reason and body. Within phenomenology, I use the concept of own body developed by Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961), which defines the body as an indivisible totality in which there is no classic dichotomy between mind and body. For phenomenology, motricity and expression occur through the foundational relationship. In the mechanistic approach, however, the interrelationship between these aspects happens through hierarchization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It intends to evidence the affiliation to the Cartesian paradigms in the radiophonic framework CBN Academy, transmitted by CBN radio from São Paulo since 2012 and presented by the philosopher Mário Sérgio Cortella. We problematize his position of scientific diffusionism based on the programs of January of 2019 from parameters such as theme, books and authors quoted. The main theoretical references are Edgar Morin and Cremilda Medina. We conclude that the CBN Academy's proposal to discuss philosophy on the radio is not dialogic but imposing, exhausting itself on the limited transmission of content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

My paper would like to show that generosity is the central point in Cartesian ethics. My hypothesis is that generous actions are capable of controlling the passions, which refer to the ego and which are the source of regrets, through the promotion of care towards others as the center of moral actions. When associated with the concept of care, the Cartesian concept of generosity roughly approximates Cartesian ethics to the ethics of care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Complexity and constructivism in economics. This paper attempts to show and summarize the concept of rules, order and complexity introduced around the mid-twentieth century by Friedrich August von Hayek. It also attempts to create a current parallel between those concepts and the field of complexity economics. At the time of his writings, the author sought to present arguments against the Cartesian rationality. Nowadays, the concepts presented by him could also serve as arguments against the way of thought used in mainstream microeconomics. A debate can now be seen between the mainstream microeconomics and the authors of the complexity theory applied to the economy, which can be understood as explanations guided by generic assumptions versus natural explanations guided in a computational approach.

The approach about the ideas, understood as metal representations, has practically bookmarked the whole Philosophy History, since the ancient Greece to the contemporary period. A lot of interpretations have been given to the meaning and to the nature of the ideas by many schools, among them lots of Realism slopes. This paper aims to present, from a historical and epistemological fragment, some theoretical perpectives, with emphasis in the realistic, nominalist and Cartesian proposals in relation to the formation and nature of the ideas.

This article is a comparative study between two chronic written by Clarice Lispector: "A Atualidade do ovo e da galinha" and "As águas do mar". The comparison between both chronic pretends demonstrate which one better reflected the place of modern subject on society. The conception of subject that is used for the development of this article is that formulated by Freud, in other words, that from psychoanalytic subject that breaks with a Cartesian philosophy, objective and rational, prevailing before. Freud's theories correspond in this way to a "decentering" (escape from the center) of the subject, from the way it was seen previously, and seem to be echoed by the characters present on the literary work of Clarice Lispector. These characters, far from being cohesive and rational people, are multiple, oblique, deviant in relation to the movement of the majority. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Descartes has established concepts upon which he would explain his general thesis on the motions of bodies. In total disagreement, Newton made a conspicuous attack on Cartesian theory concluding that the motions proposed by the French philosopher should not be considered as true motions. The dialogue developed throughout the discussion, based on Newtonian theory concerning the nature of the physical world, demonstrates in a subtle and exquisite way the accurate observations made by Newton about the contradictions that led to the development of the concepts as proposed by Descartes. Imbued with a physical and philosophical spirit, this article aims to elucidate the Cartesian's "fictions" as well to show the way through Newton sought to refute them: by opposing such theory of motion with his.

Contrary to what may suggest the many comparisons between Husserl and Descartes, Husserl were a severe critic of the Cartesian mind-body dualism. This text aims at explain the Husserlian concept of corporeality in order to expose how well the author argues for a non-dualistic conception of corporeality. For Husserl is not about propose „I have a body' -- which implies a component possessor soul -- but „I am a body'. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
