3. Through-Bond and Through-Space Interactions in [2,2]Cyclophanes

The interpretation of the distortions of the electron distribution in [2,2]cyclophanes (22-CPs) is controversial. Some studies indicate that there is an accumulation of electron density (ρ) outside the cavity of 22-CPs. The nature of through-space (ts) interaction is still under debate. The relative importance of ts and through-bond (tb) is an open question

5. Verdade, interpretação e justiça segundo Nietzsche,

Resumo: Se Nietzsche critica o próprio conceito de verdade (Wahrheit), ele emprega, no entanto, com muita regularidade essa expressão, como em Ecce homo e em O Anticristo. Apontar essa tensão é insuficiente: há uma contradição ou antes uma polissemia? Este estudo, que distingue o perspectivismo (Perspektivismus) e o relativismo (Relativismus), examina

9. WILHELM OSTWALD PARA ALÉM DO ANTIATOMISMO

The Baltic German chemist Wilhelm Ostwald (1853-1932) had his scientific prestige eclipsed in the history of chemistry due to his rejection to atomic theory, which suggests the permanence of the whig interpretation on history of chemistry in the narratives about him. In this paper, we intend to present elements on Ostwald’s biography far from his role in t

12. NATURAL KINDS AND OUR SEMANTIC INTUITIONS ALONG THE ROAD

Abstract This is a comment on Gómez-Torrente’s approach to natural kinds and natural kind terms. Here I will focus on his concerns related to the arbitrariness argument and his attempt to formulate a reply to it that maintains most (if not all) of the “Kripke-Putnam orthodoxy” when it comes to the reference-fixing of such terms. Gómez-Torrente conclu
