1. Contexts, non-specificity, and minimalism
Atlas (2007) argues that semantic minimalism (as defended by Cappelen & Lepore 2005) fails because it cannot deal with semantic non-specificity.

Thus, pragma

3. Uma nova abordagem para a noção de quase-verdade / A new approach to the concept of quase-truth

This approach provides a con

7. O (Neo)pragmatismo como Eixo (Des)estruturante da EducaÃÃo ContemporÃnea. / The (new)pragmatism as (de)structural axis of contemporany education
The present thesis looks into pragmatic philosophy and its historical ability for subsistence in the field of education. After some years of decline, pragmatism has reemerged in the form of neopragmatism, adjusted to a new context and imposing its principles upon contemporary education. The World Bank has been of crucial importance in the establishment of a

The main aim is to present the importance of hermeneutics in the subjectivity constitution not only about the interpretation of the world of the text, but also in an ethical renewed proposal in which the me-myself is generated (constantly) by

9. Uma teoria da verdade pragmatica : a quase-verdade de Newton C.A. da Costa
Alfred Tarki, in presenting his semantical conception of truth - a definition for formalized languages -, captured Aristotle s classical conception of truth - this one, a correspondencial truth conception. Mikenberg, da Costa and Chuaqui, introduced a formal conception of pragmatic truth - da Costa s quasi-truth -, based on the theories of truth of some prag
