A estética transcendental kantiana à luz de Strawson

This work s objective is to make a literal interpretation of Kant s Aesthetic transcendental, the first pilaster of sustentation of the epistemology of Kant and to interpret it at Strawson s light. It contains the doctrine of sensitivity responsible for the intuitions, which rests on the concepts of space and time, and, with this, the tematização of two important questions. For Kant s philosophy in its epistemologic source what s the importance of the concepts of and time? How these concepts of space and time inscribe themselves with such statute as an investigatory task of metaphysics? The specification of the concepts of space and time as ingredients of the theories treated and enrolled in this work are segmented of the Aesthetic transcendental of Kant, and interpreted under Strawson s light. The research is divided in two chapter; first, constituted of two parts, the first part presents an introduction to the Aesthetic transcendental of Kant, to show the doctrine of the sensitivity which is part of with its forms space and time, authentic forms of the intuition. The second chapter, is constituted of four parts, that deal with the interpretation of the austere model of Strawson and related with Kant s transcendental Aesthetic. The conclusion of our work, about the declared objection of Strawson in its austere interpretation that refuses the idea of space and time, even keeping its a priori character, cannot be accepted. The apriority, the intuitivity and the ideality are theories non-separable in a coherent boarding of space and time of Kant s model of epistemology

As representações sociais da morte e do processo de morrer para profissionais que trabalham em unidade de terapia intensiva uti

This study aimed to seize the general social representations of doctors and nurses who work in ICUs on the process of death and dying. We also aimed to know the social representations of these professionals in relation to death and the process of dying of people who are under their care, identify factors that influence the construction of these representations and identify similarities and differences between the two professions. The study was conducted from the perspective of the Theory of Social Representations of Serge Moscovici and the Central Nucleus of Jean-Claude Abric. The study was conducted in the Intensive Care Unit of Natal Hospital Center, a private hospital of the city of Natal - Rio Grande do Norte. This is descriptive and exploratory research. Twenty-four (24) professionals were interviewed, twelve (12) nurses and twelve (12) doctors. Data were collected through two instruments: Test of Free Association of Words, semi-structured interview. Later, they were coded, categorized and analyzed according to Content Analysis of Bardin (1977). The words evoked after the use of inducing words - death and dying - and the interviews, led to three thematic categories: Death and dying as a biological event, death and dying as a psychosocial event, death and dying as a transcendental event. As final considerations, we believe that the social representations of the group are translated in death and dying as biological and psychosocial events and anchored in the transcendental aspects, we do not see obvious differences in the testimonies of doctors and nurses , and the factors that interfere the construction of these offices is the culture, including religion

Os argumentos transcendentais: kant e o problema de hume

This work whose title is "The transcendental arguments: Kant Andy Hume's problem" has as its main objective to interpret Kant's answer to Hume's problem in the light of the conjunction of the causality and induction themes which is equivalent to skeptical- naturalist reading of the latter. In this sense, this initiative complements the previous treatment seen in our dissertation, where the same issue had been discussed from a merely skeptical reading that Kant got from Hume thought and was only examined causality. Among the specific objectives, we list the following: a) critical philosophy fulfills three basic functions, a founding, one negative and one would argue that the practical use of reason, here named as defensive b) the Kantian solution of Hume's problem in the first critisism would fulfill its founding and negative functions of critique of reason; c) the Kantian treatment of the theme of induction in other criticisms would will fulfill the defense function of critique of reason; d) that the evidence of Kant's answer to Hume's problem are more consistent when will be satisfied these three functions or moments of criticism. The basic structure of the work consists of three parts: the first the genesis of Hume's problem - our intention is to reconstruct Hume's problem, analyzing it from the perspective of two definitions of cause, where the dilution of the first definition in the second match the reduction of psychological knowledge to the probability of following the called naturalization of causal relations; whereas in the second - Legality and Causality - it is stated that when considering Hume in the skeptic-naturalist option, Kant is not entitled to respond by transcendental argument A􀁴B; A⊢B from the second Analogy, evidence that is rooted in the position of contemporary thinkers, such as Strawson and Allison; in third part - Purpose and Induction - admits that Kant responds to Hume on the level of regulative reason use, although the development of this test exceeds the limits of the founding function of criticism. And this is articulated in both the Introduction and Concluding Remarks by meeting the defensive [and negative] function of criticism. In this context, based on the use of so-called transcendental arguments that project throughout the critical trilogy, we provide solution to a recurring issue that recurs at several points in our submission and concerning to the "existence and / or the necessity of empirical causal laws. In this light, our thesis is that transcendental arguments are only an apodictic solution to the Hume s skeptical-naturalist problem when is at stake a practical project in which the interest of reason is ensured, as will, in short, proved in our final considerations

A fundamentação metafísica do Direito na filosofia de Kant

A fundamentação metafísica do direito a que nos propomos a esclarecer na filosofia de Kant assume não somente uma análise de temas jurídicos. Temos uma questão filosófica de fundo a tratar: a justiça é possível? Tal indagação não é o tema do texto, mas o que está pressuposto. A análise kantiana, de certo modo, assume metafisicamente a possibilidade da justiça a partir do conceito de liberdade. Mas, com base na liberdade, demonstra a possibilidade da justiça na ética e no direito. A dissertação é composta por três capítulos. No primeiro capítulo, partindo da reconstrução inicial do conceito de liberdade na Crítica da Razão Pura, descrevemos a construção do conceito cosmológico de liberdade transcendental a partir do terceiro conflito antinômico e de sua solução na Dialética Transcendental. Feito isso, descrevemos o conceito de liberdade no capítulo do Cânon da Razão Pura e discutimos o problema de como compatibilizar liberdade transcendental e liberdade prática. No segundo capítulo, fazemos uma análise da distinção entre a legislação moral e a legislação jurídica das ações humanas partindo da análise da liberdade prática interna (moral) e distinguindo-a da liberdade prática externa (ou jurídica). Nesse contexto, desenvolvemos os pressupostos de uma metafísica do direito, tomando como ponto de partida o conceito de liberdade e o imperativo categórico como princípio da autonomia da vontade, base normativa para a lei universal do direito. No terceiro capítulo, a partir da relação entre ética e direito, reconstruímos o conceito de Direito e esclarecemos o fundamento da legitimidade da coerção a partir do princípio normativo de coexistência das liberdades individuais. Analisamos também os aspectos fundamentais do direito que derivam deste princípio, tal como os conceitos de Contrato Originário, Estado, Lei, Coerção,bem como a proposta kantiana de uma paz universal com base numa legislação internacional. No fim, discutimos o aspecto metafísico presente no fundamento do Direito
