2. METAPHYSICS, LANGUAGE, ART AND SCIENCE: Nietzschean Echoes, National Thoughts
RESUMO A pesquisa homônima apresentada neste artigo se desenvolverá em frentes distintas, interconectadas a partir da obra de Nietzsche e seus reflexos sobre escritores brasileiros. Trata-se de investigar obras aparentemente desconectadas que guardam laços de afinidade e precisam ser compreendidas não apenas a partir do que chamamos de recepção de Niet

3. COUNTERFACTUAL ANALYSIS BY ALGORITHMIC COMPLEXITY: A METRIC BETWEEN POSSIBLE WORLDS
Abstract Counterfactuals have become an important area of interdisciplinary interest, especially in logic, philosophy of language, epistemology, metaphysics, psychology, decision theory, and even artificial intelligence. In this study, we propose a new form of analysis for counterfactuals: analysis by algorithmic complexity. Inspired by Lewis-Stalnaker's Pos

4. BACK TO THE QUESTION OF ONTOLOGY (AND METAPHYSICS)
Abstract We articulate a distinction between ontology, understood as involving existence questions, and metaphysics, understood as either providing for metaphysical profiles of entities or else as dealing with fundamentality and/or grounding and dependence questions. The distinction, we argue, allows a better understanding of the roles of metaontology and me

5. FOCAL DEPENDENCE, LOGICAL PRIORITY AND THE UNITY OF ARISTOTLE’S METAPHYSICS
RESUMO Um problema de longa data na erudição aristotélica diz respeito à questão de como reconciliar a dupla descrição de Aristóteles da metafísica como ontologia (a ciência universal do ser enquanto ser) e teologia (a ciência da substância imutável e separada). Uma tentativa importante de responder a esta questão (iniciada primeiro por G. Patz

6. PROCESS-BASED ENTITIES ARE RELATIONAL STRUCTURES. From Whitehead to Structuralism
Abstract The aim of this work is to argue for the idea that processes and process-based entities are to be modelled as relational structures. Relational structures are genuine structures, namely entities not committed to the existence of basic objects. My argument moves from the analysis of Whitehead’s original insight about process-based entities that, de

7. TRANSLATION AND METAPHYSICS: A CASE FOR FICTIONAL CHARACTERS
Abstract If different translations of the same literary work have different syntaxes and semantics, how are they supposed to be about one and the same fictional character? In order to answer this question it’s necessary to (a) know what fictional characters are and (b) present reference conditions for them. Relying on Amie Thomasson’s (1999, 2003, 2007)

8. Ceticismo no jovem Nietzsche: das sugestões de Lange ao ensaio Sobre verdade e mentira em sentido extramoral
Resumo: O ensaio Sobre verdade e mentira em sentido extramoral é um texto impressionante cético, que afasta Nietzsche não apenas da precedente “metafísica da arte” de O Nascimento da tragédia, mas também nega o próprio conceito de verdade. A influência de Friedrich Albert Lange e de sua História do materialismo é importante no percurso que leva

9. ARISTOTLE’S ARGUMENT FROM UNIVERSAL MATHEMATICS AGAINST THE EXISTENCE OF PLATONIC FORMS
Abstract In Metaphysics M.2, 1077a9-14, Aristotle appears to argue against the existence of Platonic Forms on the basis of there being certain universal mathematical proofs which are about things that are ‘beyond’ the ordinary objects of mathematics and that cannot be identified with any of these. It is a very effective argument against Platonism, becaus

10. COMPUTER SIMULATIONS IN METAPHYSICS: POSSIBILITIES AND LIMITATIONS
Abstract Computer models and simulations have provided enormous benefits to researchers in the natural and social sciences, as well as many areas of philosophy. However, to date, there has been little attempt to use computer models in the development and evaluation of metaphysical theories. This is a shame, as there are good reasons for believing that metaph

11. Schopenhauer e a topica admirationis: sobre a origem da filosofia
Resumo: No texto A necessidade metafísica do homem, Schopenhauer elabora considerações fundamentais sobre sua metafísica imanente e, na ânsia de explicar por que o homem filosofa, alia-se a uma longa tradição de pensadores que viram na admiração (thaumázein) o impulso metafísico do homem. Ele reinterpreta as duas mais famosas sentenças sobre o te

12. ¿Puede el cine darnos qué pensar? Wong Kar-Wai y la poética del des-encuentro
Abstract: Is it possible for the cinema to philosophize? Can the moving image work as a means for philosophy to operate under a different expressive language? This article discusses the ability of certain cinemas (especially modern cinema) to do philosophy on the big screen. It describes the theoretical approaches that argue for a philosophical cinema capabl
