The research examines the impact of Marxist praxis on Library Science and Information Science through a methodological approach that combines bibliographic research and content analysis. The bibliographic research methodology involved systematic and critical consultation of sources such as specialized journals, reference works, and relevant studies available in academic databases like Brapci, Scielo, and Capes, as well as publications by renowned authors in Philosophy and Social Sciences. The research findings highlight the significance of Marxist praxis in transforming information services and managing (...) information units, particularly in the library context, emphasizing the democratization of knowledge and the promotion of equal access to information. Additionally, they underscore the role of information professionals in fostering cultural democracy and mitigating social disparities, reinforcing the need for a critical approach that not only facilitates access to information but also recognizes and addresses underlying power dynamics. It is concluded that Marxist praxis provides a robust theoretical framework for the critical understanding and transformation of professional practices in Library Science and Information Science, enhancing the role of information professionals as agents of social change. In this sense, the research contributes not only to the theoretical development of these fields but also to professional practice aimed at broader social goals aligned with principles of justice and equity in the dissemination and access to information in contemporary society.

The paper attempts to show that Kant's criticism of eudaemonism does not affect Plato's moral theory, because the kind of eudaemonism which Plato embraces is different from that rejected by Kant. Whereas the target of Kant's criticism is the view that virtuous actions are an instrumental means to becoming happy, Plato regards virtue as a constitutive part of happiness and is, thus, committed to what Gregory Vlastos has called a "noninstrumentalist form of eudaemonism".

Os discursos científicos são os principais veiculadores do modelo da diferença incomensurável entre os sexos, a partir do qual homens e mulheres passam a ser diferenciados em função de seus órgãos reprodutivos, hormônios e cromossomos. Portanto, pretende-se realizar uma investigação conceitual dedicada ao escrutínio do conceito biológico da natureza no que diz respeito à sexualidade, a partir da análise de fontes filosóficas que consideram criticamente o discurso científico tradicional.

Composto por uma dimensão afetiva (afetos) e uma cognitiva (satisfação com a vida), o bem-estar subjetivo é apontado como um fator que impacta a saúde mental, sendo prejudicado pela presença de ansiedade. Diante disso, a pesquisa avaliou os níveis de ansiedade e bem-estar em uma amostra composta por 172 estudantes de Ensino Técnico, com idades entre 15 e 51 anos (M=19,51; DP=6,70), 68% do sexo feminino. A Escala de Afetos Positivos e Negativos, Escala de Satisfação com a Vida e a (...) Generalized Anxiety Disorder foram utilizadas. Os resultados indicaram correlação positiva e significativa entre os construtos positivos (satisfação com a vida e afetos positivos) e entre os negativos (afetos negativos e ansiedade). A variável sexo exerceu influência significativa na maior parte das medidas, sendo a média mais elevada apresentada pelos homens nos construtos positivos e, pelas mulheres, nos construtos negativos. Em relação à faixa etária, afetos positivos e ansiedade se mostram influenciados por tal variável, sendo o primeiro mais baixo nos participantes de menor idade e, o segundo, nos de maior idade. Sugere-se que os achados possam ser replicados, envolvendo diferentes perfis de estudantes, de modo a fornecer bases para a elaboração de estratégias de manutenção de saúde mental. (shrink)

In this paper we present an approach between the conceptions of choice in Thomas Aquinas (1224-1274) and Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980). The purpose is to offer elements for a refl ection on the permanency of essentially human characteristics under quite different historical – and theoretical – conditions. The analysis follows the assumptions of Social History, from Braudel’s perspective of Long Duration. In fact, it is possible to identify analogies between Thomas’ and Sartre’s concepts of choice, which allows us, in education, to (...) make inferences about man’s responsibility for their actions.

In the sixth century BC, Pherekydes of Syros, the reputed teacher of Pythagoras and contemporary of Thales and Anaximander, wrote a book about the birth of the gods and the origin of the cosmos. Considered one of the first prose works of Greek literature, Pherekydes' book survives only in fragments. On the basis of these as well as the ancient testimonies, the author attempts to reconstruct the theo-cosmological schema of Pherekydes. An introductory chapter on the life of Pherekydes is followed (...) by four chapters on the contents of his book. From Pherekydes' mythopoeic creation account, his colourful narratives of a divine marriage and a battle of the gods, and finally from his remarks on the soul, Professor Schibli is careful to unfold the philosophical implications. Pherekydes emerges as a figure who moved in that fascinating frontier between myth and philosophy. The theogonies of Hesiod and the Orphics, the cosmological speculations of certain Presocratics, and the Pythagorean tenets on the soul are all profitably compared with the remnants of Pherekydes' book. Pherekydes is thus shown to be an important witness to early Greek thought in its various manifestations. This is the first book-length study in English dedicated to Pherekydes. It includes a comprehensive appendix of the fragments and ancient testimonies, along with limited critical apparatus and English translations. (shrink)

Au cours de l'année 1934, une jeune philosophie et mathématicienne allemande, Grete Hermann, se rend à Leipzig pour participer au séminaire organisé par l'un des plus célèbres pionniers de la physique quantique, W. Heisenberg. C.F. von Wizsäcker y est présent, entre autres éminents scientifiques. Fervente adepte de la philosophie kantienne réinterprétée par J.F. Fries et L. Nelson, G. Hermann arrive avec un objectif précis : démontrer la compatibilité entre physique quantique et philosophie kantienne. En particulier, concilier la catégorie (...) de causalité, forme a priori de la pensée selon Kant, avec les prédictions statistiques de la nouvelle physique. Après une année de débats avec ses interlocuteurs, G. Hermann publie le présent opuscule, traduit ici pour la première fois. Elle y développe une interprétation tout à fait originale de la mécanique quantique, et réfute, trente ans avant J. Bell, la démonstration de J. von Neumann contre les variables cachées. -- 4ème de couverture. (shrink)

What kind of world emerges as a common world for the spectator in the staging of the events of war? And how can the film-analytical reconstruction of a sense of commonality open up historical consciousness in the first place? Focusing on the combat report With the Marines at Tarawa (USA 1944) this text shows how the ramifications of genre poetics can be explored as a network of experiential modalities that make history graspable as a continuous process of delineating the limits (...) of community.
