A biologia e a invenção de um corpo normal
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-12-13) TAVARES, Geórgia de Souza; CHAVES, Sílvia Nogueira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9353964127402937; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9771-4610
Life! It speaks both of an inherent quality of the living as much as what the living do. Without noticing, the two perspectives are mixed, and more, they are linked to each other. Is it what make us alive that says how we should behave? Is it the anatomy-physiology that determines what is the correct behavior to live life? The Greek terms bíos (forms of life) and zoé (common life of animals, men and gods) appear to cut off the certainty that biology studies life, seen from this perspective as a cohesive unit. The thesis defended here is that the tripod form - function - reproduction is the basis of a biology of the norm/moral, sustaining the construction of a standard way of life. Using the analytical tools of Michel Foucault, the human body and the interlacing spaces of life, living and experience are placed as protagonists. As a criterion for choosing the materials which compose the thesis, emerged the ones which make us see how the norm biology is part of our lives, guiding our actions and validating what is said and what we say to be right actions. The focus was placed on the saying about a moral for human behavior, which uses biology as a validation argument. Therefore, the diversity of elements became documents. The material used went through formal education (textbooks; academics); the media (television news, magazines); leisure spaces (movies, literature); laws and decrees. From this point we built arguments to answer the questions: What is this life that Biology says to study? How does this tripod (form - function - reproduction) sustain bíos life (qualified life) as it is presented today? What living are we making with this perspective? Understanding that life express much more about political aspects than purely anatomical-physiological, we come to the construction of two new terms, to support diversification: zoélogia and bíoslogia, spot of living bodies which escape, do not plant the whole medium curves. And the plural ways of life run through the zoélogia. Whether on its surface we see a common, natural, animal-life, in its base the contingency guarantees the possibilities that are so cherished to the living.

Ciência e ética em Karl Popper
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-03-24) DIAS, Leandro José dos Passos; DIAS, Elizabeth de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9610357600630781; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0951-6313
The more traditional studies about Popper’s philosophy have focused on aspects of his theory of science or his political philosophy or, even, on establishing links between them. More recently, new studies have emerged pinpointing a new hermeneutics that aims to show that ethics is at the root of his philosophy. Our work, assuming that there is an ethics at the base of his thought, intends to analyze it from a more specific perspective: that of science itself. Thereby, we will investigate the following question: can we say that Popper's conception of science involves an ethical dimension? Or rather, is there a relationship between science and ethics in the philosopher’s thought? We will consider that his notion of science presupposes an ethics, which is manifested in his pretensions to demarcate science, in the principles that guide it and in the responsibilities he assigns to scientists. Our analysis of the issue intends to start from Popper’s own rationalism, which he considers as the result of an ethical decision. In this sense, we seek to analyze its character, distinguish it from other forms of rationalism, oppose it to irrationalism and uncover its ethical foundations assisted by the studies of Kiesewetter, Artigas and Oliveira. In addition, to stablish its relations with ethics. Once these characteristic aspects of Popper’s rationalism have been clarified, we will try to show how ethics is present in his conception of science. We’ll show that Popper, when proposing his criterion of scientificity and complementing it with certain methodological rules, makes it clear that the adoption of such rules involves scientists’ decisions based on values and also generates certain ethical commitments. Furthermore, we intend to demonstrate that ethics is present in the ethical principles that guide science, such as fallibility, reasonable discussion, search for truth, honesty and that such principles are closely related to the idea of selfcriticism and tolerance. Finally, we will address the ethical responsibilities of scientists, emphasizing applied sciences. We will show that Popper proposes a new ethics for Science based on the Hippocratic oath.

O Mestre e o Psicanalista: tecendo laços nas políticas públicas
(Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, 2016) NICOLAU, Roseane Freitas; MATOS, Roberto Pires Calazans
The psychoanalytic discourse insertion into public health institutions causes some technical and ethical deadlocks for confronting the singularity of “an individual”, that is an aim of psychoanalysis, to the kind of healthcare employed by public policies of attention and care “for all” users of certain categories. This fact has made many psychoanalysts to wonder about important points of this experience, for example the role of subject in healthcare services, whose emergency gets subservient to the master’s discourse, which structures the institutional relations. How to keep the specificity of the psychoanalytical praxis in the institutional context, in which bonds are structured by the master’s discourse? How do agreements and disagreements between discourses of master and psychoanalyst happen? The Psychoanalysis, according to the Freudian-Lacanian orientation, responds to these issues taking into account the analyst's discourse peculiarity and treatment of the subject of the unconscious from what Lacan called psychoanalysis applied to therapy, which makes possible the inclusion of psychoanalysis the institution.

A Parresia nos cursos de Foucault de 1982-1984: ética, politica e estética
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-09-01) CORDEIRO FILHO, Flávio de Lima; CHAVES, Ernani Pinheiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5741253213910825; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8988-1910
Michel Foucault's work (1926-1984) has a great conceptual scope, covering topics such as Madness, Power and even his debate on Truth. The focus of this dissertation will be his final writings, referring to the years 1982 to 1984, as it is within the courses given at the Collège de France where Foucault will work more specifically on notions of ethics, aesthetics and truth. Michel Foucault makes a return to classical antiquity, however such return has a specific concept in mind: parresia. Parresía is translated by Foucault as “courage of the truth”, “speakout”, “saying everything”, but the focus of the analysis of the French philosopher will be how such concept is deeply linked with the philosophical practice of antiquity, going through since from the political consequences of the use of parresia, the construction of an ethos, which in turn is linked with an aesthetic of the “true-tell”. Foucault will show that the concern with Truth is not only related to the epistemological debate between truth versus falsehood, that is, it is not in the French philosopher's interest to enter into the discussion of what makes a discourse and/or knowledge true. Foucault wants to investigate what makes the subject someone who tells the truth and how he is recognized as one who carries a true discourse. We realize that there is in Foucault a concern for the truth as the subject's trainer, how is frank speaking an influence in the formation of a subject? With that, Foucault claims that he will leave aside the “epistemological structures” to be concerned with the analysis of the “alleturgical forms” of the act of uttering the truth. Foucault will differentiate between “know yourself” and “take care of yourself” both Socratic formulations, however as each will develop and formulate distinct doctrines in the history of philosophy, while the former will hold a In the more epistemological/ metaphysical development of Socratic philosophy, the second will stick to a way of life, that is, a Socratic ethics. However, Foucault points out conditions for effecting parresia, in addition to the need to say everything, there is an urgent need to be a discourse totally linked to the thought of the one who speaks, so it is not merely an artificial speech. That is why the French philosopher says that parresia is not a mere adequacy of speech and thought, as the masters do, it is necessary to take a kind of vital risk, which will hurt and irritate the other, reaching the point of extreme violence, as soon as at the risk of losing the bond with the other. That is why it is important to emphasize the essential difference between rhetoric and parresia, placing the two attitudes in diametrically opposite ways, while one is a speech without any link with the interlocutor and with what is being said, parresia is a connection between the interlocutors , a bond so strong that it sets precedents for the rejection, punishment and revenge of the one who told the truth.

A religião nos limites da crítica kantiana da razão
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-04-18) SANTOS, Fladerny Marques dos; MEIRELLES, Agostinho de Freitas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7826494085324141
The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the theme of radical evil (radikales Böse). This theme, as we will see, has implications for Kant's practical philosophy, especially after the philosopher completed the formulation of the Critical Project, which involves the three Critiques. Such implications precede the examination of the theme conducted in the work The religion within the limits of simple reason (1793). In this sense, the aforementioned link is directly exposed in this work, but it is not exhausted therein. Therefore, in our examination, initially, we are interested in discussing the main elements of Kant's argumentation, which are like necessary conditions and broaden the horizon in which the religious theme combined with the conception of evil receives the deserved prominence in the panorama of transcendental philosophy. The notion of radical evil cannot be summarized as a religious or anthropological thesis, so our research will argue that Kant's work on Religion is in line with his earlier works on morality.

A violência escolar em matérias de jornal: um imaginário construído em Belém-PA
(Universidade de São Paulo, 2015) SILVA, Livia Sousa da; MENDONÇA, Kátia Marly Leite
With the intention of investigating the constitution of the imaginary school violence in the media text; believing that the media is full of intentions that construct an imaginary of school violence influencing opinions and decisions, whether in the private or public sphere jurisdiction; participating even in the construction of school violence as an object of study, attention and intervention. That is what we propose in this work, a first incursion into this field of meanings, combining studies of Sociology of Communication and the Imaginary and studies of Comprehensive-Dialogical Hermeneutics, in order to expose a prelude to the framing of this research.
