Biscoitos, Pão de Ló e Cigarritos


Eis mais um projecto de divulgação da filosofia UBIANA e seus associados. A ideia do projecto - "Biscoitos, Pão de Ló e Cigarritos", serve exclusivamente os interesses dos ex e futuros alunos de filosofia da Universidade da Beira Interior. O alvo são os autores que publiquem textos na lusosofia, e todos os inter-nautas. O projecto tem uma variante de audio book e podcast, mas na substância máxima, pretende atingir o humor e a reflexão do pensamento português e contemporâneo europeu.
Divulgar a filosofia com pessoas. Divulgar é semear, para depois colher. Nessa recolha queremos fazer muitos biscoitos, pão de ló e cigarros, tudo isto para o convívio salutar.
Vamos melhorar a nossa sociedade. Vamos brindar a magia da vanguarda portuguesa. Vamos sair das trevas que nos acorrentam ao passado. Eu sou o Guilherme e este é o Josias. Todas as semanas vamos trazer novas reflexões e de vez em quando provocamos um convidado.
Bem vindos ao: BISCOITOS, PÃO DE LÓ E CIGARRITOS.

THE INTENTIONAL REALISM OF EVERETT HALL

Everett Hall's intentional realism is an example of systematic philosophy at its best. It is no myopic sequence of small scale analyses strung together like beads on a string. Yet its foundation was laid over the years by painstaking and scrupulous probings into the many problems and puzzles with which a systematic philosophy must deal. Again, though it is rooted in a sympathetic and perceptive interpretation of the philosophical classics, it is as contemporary as the latest issues of Mind. Few philosophers have taken as seriously the obligation to keep in touch with the best work of their contemporaries. He recognized that it is only by submitting ideas to the constant challenge of other lines of thought that philosophers can gain assurance that their speculations are not sheltered idiosyncracies. Everett Hall's philosophy is thoroughly empiricist in temper, but completely lacking in the procrustean urge which has marred so many recent ernpiricists. Above all, it is in a most important sense self-conscious or self-referential in that it includes as an essential component a theory of the philosophical enterprise, a theory which faces up to the ultimate challenge which any systematic philosophy must face: What is the status of your philosophical claims, and what are the criteria by which you distinguish them as true from the false and unacceptable claims made by rival philosophies? Thus, by no means the least important of his achievements is the way he found between the horns of Hume's dilemma, which in modern dress, reads as follows:

The Second International Conference on Science Matters

October 5-7, 2009, Estoril, Portugal

Arts & Science

HUMANITIES AS SCIENCE MATTERS

Science Matters (SciMat) is the new discipline that treats all human-dependent matters as part of science. SciMat includes all the topics covered in humanities and social sciences, arts in particular. This conference features discussions on literature, painting/fine art, music, movie and performing arts from the perspective of SciMat, while contributions on other topics of SciMat are welcome. The conference will bring together experts from the arts and sciences, to find out how each other’s work is performed and to exchange ideas. Hopefully, mutual understanding will be achieved and collaboration across disciplines will result, with the aim to raise the scientific level of all the disciplines.

Criatividade

A Filosofia está a fundir-se a outras disciplinas. Não se ouve falar dela com as letras todas. O único risco e perigo dela, é o próprio acto em pensar. Ao pensar produzimos a tal filosofia, mas não basta pensar, porque o acto de pensar pode ser tão distante como a definição de filosofia. Quando olhamos para uma bela imagem, pensamos na imagem em si como? Estaremos de tal forma entranhados num pacto contemplativo que não nos permite deslumbrar o logos ? É aqui que nasce a filosofia. Pensar no logos como uma praxis por outras palavras; - As tais disciplinas cujo contributo filosófico é fundamental, é a tal imagem bonita que não nos obriga a pensar de forma prática, mas sim de forma "analógica".
