Obra, vida e pintura em Merleau-Ponty: notas sobre A Dúvida de Cézanne

Alex de Campos Moura — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

ABSTRACT: Painting is a recurring and central theme throughout Merleau-Ponty's thought. In this presentation, what I will try to show is the way is established its relationship and its role within the author’s broader philosophical project, especially with regard to his discussions on the original transitivity existing between creation and the world; spontaneous reversibility that dispenses the central landmarks of classical dualism.

Keywords: painting, artwork, creation, expression, freedom, situation

Fazendo-se, a vida se desfaz: a Natureza segundo Merleau-Ponty leitor de Bergson

Dani Barki Minkovicius — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

ABSTRACT: Taking as a starting point an essay by Barbaras, we intend to comment on Merleau-Ponty’s reading of Bergson in the course on the Concept of Nature, highlighting the importance, for Merleau-Ponty, of negativity in Bergson’s positive philosophy – due both to the presence of such complexity in Bergsonism, as well as for its non-permanence, in Merleau-Ponty’s view.

Keywords: Merleau-Ponty; Bergson; Nature; Being; Nothingness.

The poetic-philosophical experiences of Fernando Pessoa and the non-philosophy of Alberto Caeiro

Gisele Batista Candido — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

ABSTRACT: By centering on existence, the experiences expressed in Caeiro’s poems reverberate in phenomenological philosophy. In this context, Renaud Barbaras presents a deep and original reading of the Caerian corpus by approaching it from problems that had been explored by Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology. In his essay Fenomenologia e Literatura: a não filosofia de Fernando Pessoa, Barbaras shows how the experiences in the poems of Caeiro transcend certain solutions that had been developed by the French philosopher, leading to a radical perspective on thought and existence, which can and should be explored by philosophy. By approaching the poetic-philosophical thought of Pessoa and Barbaras’s reading of Caeiro’s poetry, this essay explores the dialogue between the poetic and philosophical discourses, showing how the poetic can also be a privileged setting for the development of philosophical experiences that exceed, while also make, philosophy.

Keywords: phenomenology, poetics; non-philosophy, Pessoa, Merleau-Ponty, Barbaras.

Experiência Mística e Metafísica em Henri Bergson

Alexsandro Melo Medeiros — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

ABSTRACT: Over the centuries, human beings have always asked themselves questions about God: his existence, his attributes and his nature. In this article we will seek to approach the question of God from the perspective of mysticism. To address this issue we will turn to the thought of the French philosopher Henri Bergson, especially from his work The Two Sources of Morality and Religion. Our objective will be to analyze how Bergson proposes to offer philosophically a proof of the existence of God and also something of His Nature. For the French philosopher, the starting point for the question of the existence of God is our experience of God. Therefore, mystical experience can become a powerful aid to philosophical investigation because mystical experience is a metaphysical experience, in which we internally experience the existence of God. It is Bergson himself who states that mystics have revealed a path that all other men can follow and, therefore, indicates a possible path for the philosopher. Mystical experience is the experience of the existence of God. An exceptional experience, an experience of love, an experience in which the human being deeply feels the “elan” of life, the creative effort that life manifests, and this effort “is from God, if it is not God himself”. Mysticism is an internal experience that ultimately makes us feel the love of God that radiates to everyone. In this way we arrive at the central point of our analysis, according to which mystical experience allows us to approach the metaphysical question of the existence of God and also something of His nature, that is, that God is love.

Keywords: Mysticism, Metaphysics, God, Love.

Uma arqueologia da vida em Michel Foucault

Davi Maranhão De Conti — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

ABSTRACT: In an archeology of life in Michel Foucault, not only the archaeological treatment that Foucault gives to the notion of life in the 1960s are involved, but also the effects of a reflection on life taken as an epistemological marker capable of illuminating a certain crystallization of the order of speech. The notion of life that Foucault considers to emerge in the epistemic transition that inaugurates modernity is at stake not only in the emergence of biology but also in the political-economic discourses and practices that result in biopolitics. Foucault's concept of life therefore reveals itself as determinable, open to determination from the outside, in constant transformation by technologies of power and knowledge. Foucault, in this way, does not define life, does not establish an ontological status for this notion, it is not in question, for Foucault, a definition of life of a vitalist type, but rather a methodological option whose contribution to the acuteness of Foucault's reflections on the biopower is central.

Keywords: Life; Biopolitics; Archaeology; Foucault.

Diagnóstico e batalha: sobre a dupla caracterização da filosofia por Foucault

Felipe Luiz — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract: The present paper intends to explore that which looks to be a bifrontal characterization of philosophy in the works of Michel Foucault. On one hand, a notion of the task of philosophy more common in the exegeses of his thought, which is the idea that philosophy is a diagnostic of the present, idea that Foucault sometimes points out as originated from Kant, other time as having a Nietzschean root. On the other hand, the notion, that occurs in some texts, that genealogy, as a historical=philosophical method, is a weapon in a social conflict. In the papers, we present and discuss this philosophical Janus and interpretate it.

Keywords: Michel Foucault. Friedrich Nietzsche. Genealogy. Diagnostic. Strategy.

Da história como campo de batalhas em Michel Foucault

André Constantino Yazbek — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This article aims to explore the understanding of history as a battlefield in Michel Foucault's genealogy to elucidate the adoption of "war" as an operator of intelligibility in politics and history in his dual role in Foucault's thought of the 1970s: a) as a methodological disposition for applying the agonistic relationship model to the historical scope of institutional and extra-institutional forms of production, regulation, and circulation of true discourse; b) as a form of political struggle in terms of understanding historical knowledge itself as an indefinite field of disputes, crossed by relations and reversals of forces in a perpetual battle.

Keywords: Michel Foucault; genealogy; history; war.

Notas sobre o papel diagnóstico da arte em M. Foucault e P. Veyne

Yolanda Gloria Gamboa Muñoz — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

ABSTRACT: Using specific examples, we will experience the differential directions of diagnosis through the analysis of both thinkers: Michel Foucault and Paul Veyne. Our crossing point and limitation will be the role of art in the duplicity of “cultural framework” and “art-life”; dimensions to be used both in relation to Foucault's "instinctive diagnosis of the present" and Paul Veyne's "inverted prophecies". Through the temporal crossroads of present, past and future, we will thus evaluate the differential and diagnostic use explained in various artistic expressions that were materialized in Foucault's "discurography" and Veyn's "relatography".

Keywords: Foucault, Veyne, art, diagnosis, sieves.
