14On Entropy and Responsibility in the Thought of Ivan IllichTechnophany 2 (1). 2024.This paper aims to explore the concept of entropy in Ivan Illich’s overall thinking and deliver a dialog with other authors. Our goals are twofold. First, we aim at pointing out how Illich's early work is relevant for critically thinking about entropy in its relationship to forms of social organization and technology usage. Secondly, we point to how Illich’s later works consider a planetary responsibility. By gathering matter, energy and information, technology is an ambiguous force of both homi…Read more

18Considerações Sobre o Sentido da Passividade No Pensamento de Sartre: O Paradoxo da Existência Passiva de Uma Subjetividade Espont'neaKínesis - Revista de Estudos Dos Pós-Graduandos Em Filosofia 14 (37): 132-156. 2023.O objetivo do nosso artigo é analisar como Sartre articula a relação entre a atividade e a passividade da subjetividade. Em primeiro lugar, argumenta-se que a fenomenologia desenvolvida nos anos 30 não desconsidera os fenômenos nos quais a consciência aparece alienada de sua espontaneidade, tais como o medo, o sonho, a alucinação, etc. Na verdade, notar-se-á que a compreensão da passividade da consciência ocupa um lugar central na totalidade das obras iniciais. Será a partir desse plano de fundo…Read more

2Lost in Translation? Ethics and Engineering PracticeIn Helena Mateus Jerónimo (ed.), Portuguese Philosophy of Technology: Legacies and contemporary work from the Portuguese-Speaking Community, Springer Verlag. pp. 163-183. 2022.The aim of this chapter is to clarify the scope of engineering ethics. We suggest a definition of engineering as practice, with its own virtues and internal goods, guided by a common good. A complementary function of engineering is also proposed, analogous to the translation between the objective lawfulness uncovered by theoretical sciences and the social lifeworld, through the materialization of truth in processes and commodities. These definitions make it possible to consider an ethical framew…Read more

6A Paisagem no Diário de Miguel TorgaPhilosophica: International Journal for the History of Philosophy 21 (42): 163-181. 2013.Miguel Torga’s Diário constitutes a unique work in the context of Portuguese literature. Divided in 16 volumes published over 60 years of the XX Century, Diario gives its reader access to several topics of reflection dear to the author. Among these, the topic of landscape is of particular interest, given the originality of its crisscrossing with writing, rurality, the body, technological progress, and Portugal itself. These considerations notwithstanding, Diário does not present a clear and univ…Read more

10O Jardim Japonês na Estética da Natureza Contempor'neaPhilosophica: International Journal for the History of Philosophy 16 (32): 77-91. 2008.This paper aims to depict the main philosophical lines that, deriving from Japanese Zen Buddhist precepts, guided and allowed the development of the Japanese garden. Some necessary historical, geographical and cultural references will have to be drawn if an acute portrait of its specificity is to be made; nonetheless, as it should be clear along the article, its guiding lines are universal, as the spread and influence of the Japanese gardens in other cultural contexts illustrates it. And that co…Read more

8A Natureza na Filosofia da Tecnologia de Albert BorgmannPhilosophica: International Journal for the History of Philosophy 24 (47): 77-92. 2016.In this paper we intend to evaluate the role that nature has in the philosophy of technology of Albert Borgmann. According to the author, contemporary life has been taken by the device paradigm; technology follows a pattern that transforms the rich dimensions of things into devices; these are composed of commodities, easily available and without demanding any effort, and mechanisms, hiding the ways how natural resources are used. This pattern does not make explicit the promoted notion of the goo…Read more
