    What is Pragmatism in Brazil Today?
    with Cody Carr
    Studies in Philosophy and Education 24 (6): 499-514. 2005.
    This paper analyses the relations between Pragmatism and Brazilian culture, nowadays defined as a plural culture.

After discussing the concepts of truth and minimalism on Richard Rorty’s Philosophical Papers, the authors conclude that Brazilian education today is receptive to the conception in which new narratives can be used as a power…Read more

    O que há de real e de irreal com o realismo: Searle versus Rorty
    Trans/Form/Ação 21 (1): 119-129. 1999.
    O texto fala a respeito do debate entre Searle e Rorty sobre “irracionalismo” de Rorty. Ele tenta mostrar que a posição de Rorty está fora do campo “realismo versus anti-realismo” e o “irracionalismo” não é um bom adjetivo.

    Rorty, Nietzsche e a democracia
    Utopía y Praxis Latinoamericana 6 (13): 120-124. 2001.
    The author makes a brief analysis of Richard Rorty’s non-pragmatic theory of truth. Beyond the true-false dualism, Rorty considers truth and non-truth as a problem to be resolved in the linguistic context of social and political actions. Truth then is contingent and metamorphic; it must always..

    What there is of real and unreal in Realism: Searle versus Rorty
    Trans/Form/Ação 21 (1): 119-129. 1999.
    The article talks about debate between Searle and Rorty on a "irrationalism" of Rorty. The text tries to show that the Rorty's position is out of the field "Realism versus Anti Realism" and the "irracionalism" is not a good adjective. Searle would be on a incorrect line in his account of the Rorty's theme of truth.O texto fala a respeito do debate entre Searle e Rorty sobre "irracionalismo" de Rorty.

  • Platão imaginou a cidade justa em associação a uma metafísica, isto é, uma teoria não empírica da natureza humana. Diferentemente de Platão, em nossos tempos, a proposta de Rawls é considerar a cidade justa como uma sociedade liberal democrática. Ele elabo ra a noção de “razão pública” como neutra em relação a qualquer doutrina metafísica, religiosa ou filosófica. Entretanto, em certo sentido, Rawls não deixa de ser platônico: uma coletividade é uma sociedade organizada em virtude de sua justiça…Read more
