(Des)construções filosóficas sobre o Brincar.Daniel Cardoso Alves,Joyce Lucerna Amaral &Nilzilene Imaculada Lucindo -2025 -Conjectura: Filosofia E Educação 29 (1).detailsViver e brincar estão diretamente associados para a criança. Aprender e desenvolver, ainda que inconscientemente, também. Do ponto de vista da Filosofia e da Pedagogia, o brincar está diretamente relacionado comas noções de consciência, alteridade e práxis, o que significa refletir que é pelo brincar que o sujeito tem a sua primeira experiência autônoma com o prazer da vida em seu inconstante devir. Como parte de uma pesquisa qualitativa desenvolvida no biênio 2019-2020 entre pedagogos(as) em formação de uma Faculdade de (...) Educação, este artigo tem como objetivo evidenciar o brincar como uma ação que humaniza a criança, que ludicamente a ensina e que se constitui como uma prática de liberdade, pelo que, deve ser plenamente exercido e não meramente constar nos marcos legais como um direito da criança. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura cujos resultados empíricos apresentados e discutidos são provenientes da referida pesquisa que, ancorada em uma abordagem qualitativa, valeu-se dos procedimentos de pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisa documental e pesquisa de campo. Como desfecho principal deste texto, constata-se uma carência da exploração da temática do brincar durante o percurso formativo dos participantes, uma vez que apenas 8% do total de horas que compõem o currículo se destinam a essa discussão. Para mudar essa realidade curricular, urge, pelos elaboradores e mediadores dos currículos proclamados e praticados, a compreensão do brincar como dimensão fundamental da vida da criança. (shrink)

The Question of Sociality in Sartre's Theory of Practical Ensembles.Daniel Alvaro -2019 -Eidos: Revista de Filosofía de la Universidad Del Norte 31:196-224.detailsResumen Este trabajo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre la tensión individuo-sociedad en la Crítica de la Razón dialéctica, última gran obra filosófica de Jean-Paul Sartre donde el autor intenta articular su perspectiva existencialista con la teoría marxista. Nuestro análisis empieza por reconstruir el contexto en el que esta obra vio la luz, para luego abordar la cuestión de la "socialidad", entre otras nociones clave vinculadas a la teoría sartreana de los conjuntos prácticos. Finalmente, de este análisis extraemos algunas conclusiones para (...) evaluar los alcances y limitaciones de la ontología social esbozada en la Crítica de la Razón dialéctica. ABSTRACT This work has the objective to reflect on the individual-society tension present in Critique of Dialectical Reason, Jean-Paul Sartre's last great philosophical work, where the author tries to articulate its existentialist perspective with Marxist theory. Our analysis begins by reconstructing the context in which this work saw the light and then addresses the question of "sociality", among other key notions linked to the Sartrean theory of practical ensembles. Finally, from this analysis we draw some conclusions in order to evaluate the reaches and limitations of the social ontology sketched in Critique of Dialectical Reason. (shrink)

FN:s allmänna förklaring om de mänskliga rättigheterna och kvantifierad deontisk logik.Daniel Rönnedal -2014 -Tidskrift För Politisk Filosofi 18 (2):22–34.detailsFN:s allmänna förklaring om de mänskliga rättigheterna innehåller en katalog över ett antal mänskliga fri- och rättigheter. I den här uppsatsen argumenterar jag för att det krävs en kvantifierad deontisk logik för att förstå den logiska formen hos flera av de normer som uttrycks i denna förklaring. Jag kommer att gå igenom ett antal argument som intuitivt är giltiga, men som inte kan bevisas i klassisk logik. Därefter kommer jag att visa hur dessa argument kan formaliseras och bevisas med hjälp (...) av kvantifierad deontisk logik. Diskussionen ger stöd åt uppfattningen att vi behöver en kvantifierad deontisk logik för att analysera många typer av normativa uttryck och kastar också förhoppningsvis nytt ljus över hur vissa centrala utsagor i FN:s allmänna förklaring bör tolkas och vilken logisk form de har.

On the feeling of doing: Dysphoria and the implicit modulation of authorship ascription.Daniel Wegner -manuscriptdetailsThe experience of authorship arises when we feel that observed effects (e.g., the onset of a light) are caused by our own actions (e.g., pushing a switch). This study tested whether dysphoric persons’ authorship ascription can be modulated implicitly in a situation in which the exclusivity of the cause of effects is ambiguous. In line with the idea that depressed individuals’ self-schemata include general views of uncontrollability, in a subliminal priming task we observed that dysphoric (compared with nondysphoric) participants experienced (...) lower authorship of action effects when the self-concept was primed. Priming the potential effects of an action just prior to their occurrence, however, increased experiences of authorship in all participants and eliminated the effect of self-concept priming on dysphoric participants’ authorship experiences. These findings suggest that the human mental system seizes on a match between primed and actual action effect to establish a sense of authorship, even in a state of depression when persons have weak self-views of causing behavioral outcomes. r 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

(1 other version)From similarity to inference.Daniel Osherson -manuscriptdetailsWe advance a theory of inductive reasoning based on similarity, and test it on arguments involving mammal categories. To measure similarity, we quantified the overlap of neural activation in left Brodmann area 37 (lBA37) in response to pictures of different categories; the choice of lBA37 is motivated by previous literature. The theory was tested against estimated probability judgments for 160 arguments generated from 16 categories and a common predicate. The theory’s predictions (based on neural similarity) correlate strongly with these estimates. (...) Other brain regions in the ventral visual pathway yield similarities that also allow the model to predict inductive judgments accurately whereas use of rated similarity in place of neural similarity is less successful. We conclude by extending the theory to aspects of causal reasoning and considering the relation between similarity and feature ratings of categories. (shrink)

Philosophie des réseaux.Daniel Parrochia -1993 - Presses Universitaires de France - PUF.detailsDepuis quelque temps déjà, les réseaux ont pris une importance considérable dans notre société. Parallèlement, la science et la littérature les ont partout répandus.¦Un philosophe, ici, examine leurs différents uages, s'interrogeant tout à tout sur le cristal et le vivant, autant que sur lers répliques à grande échelle : formes objectives de la réticulation (réseaux de transports et de télécommunications), formes réfléchies des flux économiques et des échanges culturels, architectures formelles (mathématiques et informatiques) qui les résument.¦Question cruciale : où va (...) la société moderne? Vers un filet enchevêtré (réseau de réseaux) dans lequel on sera pris au piège? Vers quelque catastrophe de grande ampleur (déracinement, déchirure, autoclocage)? Ou vers une maîtrise progressive de cet univers fluide de la communication, dans lequel, pour le meilleur et pour le pire, nous sommes aujourd'hui entrés? (shrink)
Un modèle formel des processus dichotomiques platoniciens.Daniel Parrochia -1986 -Revue de Métaphysique et de Morale 91 (3):354 - 364.detailsLe but de cet article est de présenter un modèle formel des processus dichotomiques platoniciens. Cette méthode, déjà utilisée dans le Gorgias et décrite dans le Phèdre, reçoit une grande extension dans les dialogues ultérieurs. Elle s'efforce d'obtenir une définition à partir des divisions successives d'un ensemble de concepts. Nous montrons que les chaînes de dichotomies ne fonctionnent pas comme des classifications, mais comme des « filtres convergents » sur l'espace des Idées. Cela veut dire que cet espace est, formellement (...) parlant, un espace topologique compact, donc fini. Mais, dans d'autres textes, Platon semble indiquer que les Idées sont en nombre infini. Dans cette hypothèse, il resterait possible d'atteindre, au moins à l'infini, quelque chose comme une définition, en considérant l'Idée du Bien comme une sorte de principe de compactification de l'univers platonicien. The purpose of this article is to present a formal model of platonician dichotomic processes. This method, already used in Gorgias and described in Phaedrus, takes a great development in further dialogues. It tries to get a definition from successive divisions of a set of concepts. We show that the chains of dichotomies do not work as classifications but as "convergent filters "on the space of Ideas. It means that this space is, formally speaking, a compact and therefore, finite, topological space. But in some other texts, Platon seems to specify that there is an infinite number of Ideas. In this case, it will remain possible to reach, at least in the infinite, something like a definition, by regarding the Idea of Good as a sort of compactness principle of the platonician universe.

Hidden Complications of Thought Suppression.Daniel M. Wegner -unknowndetailsAlthough the suppression of thoughts may seem to be an effective solution when thoughts are unwanted, this strategy can lead to a recurrence of the very thought that one is attempting to suppress. This ironic effect is the most obvious unwanted outcome of suppression and has been investigated empirically for more than two decades. However, even when suppression does not lead to an ironic rebound of the unwanted thought, it puts an insidious cognitive load on the individual attempting to suppress. (...) Moreover, whether or not suppression leads to an exacerbation of the unwanted thought, it is rarely successful, and hence adds to the individual’s distress. In this article we describe the consequences of suppression and consider how it might complicate a range of emotional disorders. Taken together, studies on thought suppression in psychopathology present a more nuanced picture now than was emerging in the early years of its investigation. Some evidence is consistent with the idea that the counterproductive effects of suppression are causally implicated in disorders, but a more parsimonious conclusion is that thought suppression often acts as a complication of disorders. In certain disorders, suppression complicates the disorder by leading to an ironic rebound of the unwanted thoughts. In all disorders, the cost of undertaking suppression is a persistent cognitive load, which undermines the ability to suppress and sets off a cycle of failed expectations and distress. (shrink)

Caminho rumo à universalização: a busca da paz social em Eric Weil.Daniel Artur Emidio Branco -2013 -Revista Inquietude 4 (1):10-29.detailsO presente artigo tem como finalidade a investigação do pensamento filósofo alemão Eric Weil (1904-1977), em especial a sua ideia de socialização e universalização, presente na obra Filosofia Política (1956). Primeiramente será investigado o problema da maldade ou violência naturais, herdadas, portanto, naturalmente pelo homem, chegando depois ao estudo da necessidade de superação dessa violência, que se manifesta ao indivíduo particular e que é manifestada também na sociedade. Por último, será estudado o dever do filósofo político, a saber, a superação (...) e efetivação de uma sociedade cada vez mais universalizada, dever esse que torna a filosofia imprescindível para a sociedade globalizada do século XXI.
