    Present, predicted, and hidden probabilities
    with Louis de Broglie, Georges Lochak, and Juan Alberto Beswick
    Foundations of Physics 6 (1): 3-14. 1976.
    The general properties of measurements in microphysics are studied and the three types of probabilities that, according to the authors, appear in wave mechanics are set up. Such a distinction, together with the principle of the localization of the corpuscle as was laid down at the very introduction of the theory of the double solution, provides a good grasp of certain phenomena whose explanation according to the usual theory (which makes no use of permanent localization and where the three types…Read more

    Reid's critique of the conception of personal identity in Locke
    Trans/Form/Ação 35 (1): 37-46. 2012.
    This article discusses Reid's critical analysis of Locke's theory of personal identity. Two significant consequences of this analysis are pointed out: a) that if the same consciousness can be transferred from one intelligent being to another, then two or twenty intelligences may be the same person; b) that a man can be, and at the same time not be, the person who practices a given action. Taking these consequences as a starting point, Reid expounds some considerations on the topic.Fazer uma abor…Read more

    Epiphanies of Revelation
    Thought: Fordham University Quarterly 51 (2): 185-204. 1976.
  • In declaring that «existence as existence corresponds to being as such, and pertains to its intrinsic significance», Suárez accords to existence a preeminence perhaps not ascribed to it by any Scholastic philosopher. Conceptually distinct, existence and essence are really identical, their identity indicated by the term essentia realis, or «existent essence.» Being is at once unitary in meaning and dyadic; it denotes existence that is both actual and aptitudinal . «Actual» existence is realized e…Read more

  • A Educatio Latina Na Obra De Clementina De Sêneca
    with João Pereira Coelho
    Educação E Filosofia 25 (49). 2011.
    O presente texto tem como preocupação discutir a concepção de clemência que Sêneca desenvolve no Tratado sobre a clemência. A obra foi destinada a Nero com a finalidade de orientá-lo a utilizar essa virtude em seu exercício de poder. Por meio da prudência política que dela derivaria, o Imperador seria capaz de harmonizar suas ações com a sociedade romana. As reflexões realizadas ao longo do trabalho levam à compreensão de que a clemência, em Sêneca, seria um modelo de sabedoria a ser aplicado pe…Read more
