EDITORIAL

Dear readers,

This issue was prepared from a polyphonic and multifaceted perspective; a collective of writers strictly grounded on the basis of philosophic thinking. Multiple epistemologies and hermeneutics are represented in the judicious analyses presented herein.

Néder Rocha Abdo reflects on the concept of immortality as an opportunity to reflect on Peirce's metaphysics, on an unusual perspective of philosophy; with that, he brings to light some of the author's religious themes.

In turn, the article written by Lucas Alessandro Duarte Amaral takes a heuristic standpoint by approaching Cassirer's logicism. Especially, the writer discusses transcendental method and logic.

José Wilson Rodrigues de Brito and Francisco Jozivan Guedes de Lima use a Kantian point of view to reflect on the relationship between Practical Philosophy and Education. The analysis seeks to discuss the implications of a Kantian philosophy of education in relation to the grounding principles of autonomy and enlightenment.

From another perspective, Airton Acácio Castilho Christófalo, Sérgio Camargo, Osmar Henrique Moura da Silva and Tania Teresinha Bruns Zimer analyze inter-theoretical reductionism in cognitive processes related to thermal physics; the article brings emphasis to relations between the Philosophy of Science and Physics, putting them into question. In this sense, they reignite the discussion of certain inter-theoretical reductionisms in the Philosophy of Science.

Adilson Felicio Feiler discusses logic in the writings of Hegel in his youth, a critique of Kantian logic for its excessive formalism and abstraction. From that point, he proposes a logic that, within such conceptual clarification, is distinguished from a logic that is conceived separate from daily life.

Following the itinerary of pragmatism (or pragmatisms), Rodrigo Lima rehabilitates the discussion of evil, particularly in regards to the oblivion of such discussion in the history of philosophy; with that, he ponders a key for reading on the matter, based on pragmatism.

Anderson de Alencar Menezes and Virgílio Andrade Neto discuss the acts of speech and their developments in the Theory of Communicative Action, based on Habermas' philosophy of language, as opposed to the philosophy of consciousness. They underline that it is from the linguistic shift that one can rethink the acts of speech and their implications towards new social and scientific narratives and grammars.

In turn, José Renato Salatiel discusses the Aristotelian system of natural deduction as it is interpreted in the existential graphs of Charles s. Peirce. Essentially, the article seeks to investigate the advantages of the Peircean diagrammatic system as opposed to the traditional Euler and Venn diagrams.

Finally, Thiago Dias da Silva, in his review of The New Way Of The World: On Neoliberal Society, by Pierre Dartot and Christian Laval, discusses the global crisis between global economy and neoliberal logic; he seeks to deconstruct samples of evidence of relations within so-called neoliberal economy.

With all these philosophical perspectives, we hope to provide our readers with analyses that go beyond a mere presentation of issues; rather, these are texts that discuss in depth the core of multiple philosophical subjects.
