CONTEMPORARY FRENCH PHILOSOPHY: STRUCTURE AND SYSTEM I
COD Workload Description
61610-03 45 The STRUCTURE AND SYTEMS seminars are intended to bring together two areas of philosophical research which had been unrelated and diverging up until now: mathematical ontology and biolinguistics. Both are recent expressions of structuralism (with its variables) and scientific logicism (and its ramifications in analytical philosophy and hermeneutics). In this regard, chances are that the current scenario of intense research on the brain, language and "consciousness" be appropriate to bring these two areas together under a formal perspective. On that line, the principle of explanatory adequacy will be helpful in addressing the epistemological and phenomenological models through which our studies have shown a connection. Alain Badiou's philosophical system, Noam Chomsky's biolonguistic program and Michel Foucault's systems of thought have been adopted as references. Contemporary French philosophy presents itself as the main context, but the scope of the structural method of analysis will be the focus of the course, as it had been initially addressed in the 1950s, in order to analyze the methodological and ontological coherence of the projects of systematization of the philosophy of mind, subjectivity and language.

CONTEMPORARY FRENCH PHILOSOPHY: STRUCTURE AND SYSTEM II
COD Workload Description
61622-03 45 Following the analysis of systematic pretension of philosophy in Alain Badiou, this course will address, in light of Being and Event I (EE), the theory of the conditions of philosophy, especially the conditions of poems ("art", in Being and event II (LM)) and love. Aligned with the conditions of the politics of emancipation and mathematics (or "science" in LM), the prior existence of conditions in philosophy, will make our methodological decisions in favor of a "platonic gesture" in the system. The conditions are the practices where truths are produced; what elucidates them are the practices that collectively lead us to see the means through which the fundamental principles of being and existence are shown. We take our chances on the conclusions and consequences of Badiou's system as we state that general ontology is intrinsic and inherent to the conditions. His articulation is an idealization, since ontology rewrites what is intrinsically common to conditions. However, it is not about separating a set of already existing rules through the existence of these conditions, but establishing them through the embarrassing situations and transformations that they, and only they, can provide us with, since these are the dynamics that have shown the subjective emergences. The problem is to try to understand a differential subject, or a "generic" one, in poetry/art and love. The subject in question is distributed by an event which rose him since, by definition, the differential subject is not shown in terms of the state of its current situation. The subject is shown as a local possibility, its form may be unknown, whereas its logic lies within a set of unconscious criteria. Therefore, generally speaking, we intend to understand the dimension of the regulation of the categories of differential thinking more fully and, in a punctual way, the relationship between the structure and the specific form of the truths produced by this generic subjective entity inserted in the existential and discursive contexts of art and love.

CONTEMPORARY FRENCH PHILOSOPHY: STRUCTURE AND SYSTEM III
COD Workload Description
61654-03 45 Thirty years following the death of Michel Foucault, the works of the author of Words and Things have been incessantly classified, edited, deconstructed, refuted, relativized and alleviated, not to mention when it had been almost ignored. However, his work is still a model for several orientations of critical thought and scientific research. His externalist nominalism puts the projects of ontological justification of thinking into question; his historicism not only shows the conscience and the enunciations of the truth but also the several effects of a conceptual regime submersed into radical finiteness, which shows the difficulty in seeing the forms of enunciation of unconscious mental states and of the indiscernible characteristics of the subjectivization of events; and his contribution to the history of philosophy shares the theoretical practice between a science of discourse and an ethics in line with the emergence of truth. These orientations make Foucault's works a challenge for the emergence of a theory still in seek of its identity in detriment of humanist philosophy. Before anything, this theory is intended for the institutional proposals whose goal is to neutralize the critical power that philosophy imposes on the future of science and its application to biotechnological life, by absorption. Thus, we will be addressing Foucault and his predecessors.

CONTEMPORARY FRENCH PHILOSOPHY: STRUCTURE AND SYSTEM IV
COD Workload Description
3151A-03 45 Among the philosophies that draw insights from French epistemology, before the onset of mathematical ontology in Alain Badious's system, there used to be the philosophy of events and multiplicity by Gilles Deleuze. The transformations brought forth by Badiou on Deleuze's philosophy mark a decisive moment in the context of the consolidation of a critical French ontology at the end of the 20th century, one that is based on a refutation of Heidegger's fundamental ontology. This seminar is intended to assess Deleuze's philosophy by contesting and making use of Badiou's systems.

CONTEMPORARY FRENCH PHILOSOPHY: STRUCTURE AND SYSTEM V
COD Workload Description
3151L-03 45 The aim of this graduate seminar is to analyse different currents in French philosophy, from Bergson to its most recent expressions. Special attention will be given to Alain Badiou’s philosophy in the way it has updated the notion of system. From this perspective, philosophy’s project of universalizing its claims will be analysed according to the thesis that mathematics is ontology, on the one hand, and that the science of appearing and of existence are organized according to specific worlds grounded by a host of logical systems created since the beginning of the twentieth century. In this context, the following topics will be further discussed: structuralist research in the theory of (post-Lacanian) subjectivity; the political thought on emancipation; the ethics most appropriate to accompany a political vision that reencounters a form of truth; the question of secularism and “laicité”; and the theory of temporality and history subjacent to logics of transformation.

CONTEMPORARY FRENCH PHILOSOPHY: STRUCTURE AND SYSTEM VI
COD Workload Description
71506-03 45 In 2013 and 2014, I put together, translated and published two articles that looked at the issue of ontology and the system of current French philosophy, and a question arose: is there a spirit of system in contemporary French philosophy? The concept of system is complex according to French philosophy. Instead of seeking a fixed justification of the major categories of ontology, French philosophy usually includes a theory of the subject on behalf of the variations of history and its rationalization. For decades, French philosophy has brought new insights into the understanding of the Hegelian system and the Marx's science of history. Since the 1980s, in response to the method of structural analysis, several other systems came to be considered in order to provide an extended and more radical theory of subjectivity than the one en vogue during the modern period of philosophical production. In order to mark this transformation in the field of research, we will start with one of the fundamental systems of the 18th century, still not very popular in Brazil, the new system of nature of G. Leibniz. Then, we will move on to the Capital system, a major system of late modern philosophy, focusing on works by David Harvey and Michael Heinrich, issue 1. We will go on to address other critical areas: both the theory of Universal Grammar by Noam Chomsky and eliminative materialism by Paul Churchland as philosophical systems in order to show their respective underlying ontology.

CONTEMPORARY FRENCH PHILOSOPHY: STRUCTURE AND SYSTEM VII
COD Workload Description
71525-03 45 In 2006, Alain Badiou published Logique des mondes, whose subheading is L¿Être et I¿événement 2. The book has been expanding the philosophical system beyond the project of ontology (L¿Être et I¿événement, 1988); beyond the theory on the historical conditions that gave rise to instances of differential subjects and in which the indiscernible truths are produced (Manifeste pour la philosophie, 1989; Conditions, ,1992); beyond ethics integrated to ontology (Ética. Ensaio sobre a consciência do mal, 1991); and beyond the several antiphilosophy theories (Saint Paul, ou la fundation de I¿universel, 1997). With major consequences, Logique des mondes represents a new theory of appearance of objective phenomena, on which new concepts of object, body, change and life are grounded. Therefore, this work represents the first structuralist action in view of a new phenomenology.

Special attention will be given to the relationship between Mathematics and Philosophy which has been discussed in a recent book by Ian Hacking, Why is there Philosophy of Mathematics at all? (Cambrige UP, 2014).

Ethics and Contemporary Issues: Philosophical Criticism to Violence II
COD Workload Description
61619-03 45 One of the key issues in Ethics and Political Philosophy today is rewritten in the category of human dignity in the universe of sociopolitical and cultural contemporary challenges, in that a certain category, due to it bringing together philosophical, historical, sociological and legal references, is extremely susceptible to several logics of formalization that can leave it empty of some of its most urgent and significant issues. The Seminar intends to address, based on primary and secondary materials by E. Levinas and F. Kafka, a philosophical and literary group of signifiers, the possibility of reconstruction, since the concept of language being a form of production as opposed to the produced sentences, of the ethical / (meta)-phenomenological issue of human dignity. Students will have access to additional resources in order to prepare for discussions, on top of a classical bibliography.

Ethics and Contemporary Issues: Philosophical Criticism to Violence IV
COD Workload Description
3150X-03 30 The question" What does it mean to work through the past " gets us to reflect upon things. It originates from a buzzword that has recently taken on quite a strange meaning. In this sense, working through the past does not mean to working through it per se, as one would be clearly aware of the consequences of doing so. We actually intend to bury the past and maybe wipe it out of our memories, as Adorno says in the beginning of his famous" What does it mean to work through the past ". This is quite a relevant issue. Philosophy and historical memory have to be hand in hand at all times because there is no Philosophy at a given time without the consideration of the facts and issues that preceded it and that get people to reflect upon things. When we dissociate one from the other, there are multiple expressions of violence, as History itself teaches us. Because of that, criticizing the difficulty in bringing "historical memory" to "clear consciousness" begins with criticism to violence, as it is understood by exponential authors of contemporary thought. The Seminar, open to all students, will address the comprehension of the good points that are common to criticism to violence in the works of Franz Rosenzweig, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin and Emmanuel Levinas.

61607-03 45 Rawls' political constructivism; An investigation on the limits of a pure procedural justice; A discussion on the scope of a political conception of justice in practice; The distinction between rational autonomy and political autonomy; A discussion on the role of the normative conception of the person according to Rawls' constructivism; A presentation of the issue of moral justification of politics.This seminar is intended to study the characterization of the instrumental reason in the consolidated sense based on the analyses brought forth by Frankfurt's school and their philosophical heritage as opposed to the proposal of ethical rationality as per the philosophical projects of Critical Theory, by Rosenzweig and Levinas, using excerpts from the Dialectics of Enlightenment, by Adorno and Horkheimer, The New Thinking, by F. Rosenzweig and "Alterity and Transcendence", by E. Levinas, relying on the opinions made by commentators. The idea is to justify the theories that inspire the Seminar's goals, as the establishment of ethical rationality beyond totality is a possibility of the establishment of a critical and philosophical analysis of the current notion of "human dignity" today.

Within the limits of philosophical rationality, Khôra remains as a fertilizing mystery of the reflection of any given pre-determined scheme of the understanding of reality. Once an abyss of thought and witness of the inaccessibility of enunciation discourse, Khôra makes unusual predictions of the future yet to come. The Seminar will be devoted to the analysis of these predictions and possible traits based on Derrida's work in interface with other authors and the critical literature, as it is open to anyone who is interested

3151I-03 45 When Hegel says that “die philosophische Betrachtung ... keine andere Absicht (hat), als das Zufällige zu entfernen” - “philosophical activity has no other purpose than ... to remove the contingent” - it is, in fact, indirectly establishing the main philosophical fold of contemporaneity; on the one hand, synthesizing what his own work intends to have achieved and which corresponds in large part to the dream of the centuries, namely, subsuming the infinite variety of reality, including time, in the dialectic chain of concepts that will converge to the self-reflective unity of the spirit absolute; and, on the other hand, opening the reflective space for the civilizational crisis that will follow and which will allow Adorno to say that Philosophy is still valid “for having lost the moment of its realization”: a temporal question, therefore. The objective of the Seminar, open to all interested parties, is to examine the category of temporality from the “heterodox” matrix of Philosophy that is expressed in the figuration of that (temporality) as a structure in itself for the possibility of understanding the real, based especially on thought by Franz Rosenzweig, notably in the unequivocal condition of maître à penser of two thinkers indispensable to contemporary times, but rarely treated together: Walter Benjamin and Emmanuel Levinas -, as well as some of the possibilities of this “heterodox” understanding of the category of temporality to ethical thought- contemporary political.

Ethics and Contemporary Issues: Philosophical Critique to Violence VII
COD Workload Description
71522-03 45 Roughly speaking, the XX century is characterized as a period of extreme unprecedented historical and cultural tensions in Western civilization, in several forms of approach. These tensions are present, either implicitly or explicitly, in the works of the major philosophers of that century; such works become the very particular response to the questions on time. In this sense, Rosenzweig's and Levinas' philosophical works are highly eloquent, as they become very sharp forms of philosophical interpretation of an epoch. This course is intended to investigate, in view of "ethics", "language", "otherness" and "temporality", aspects that are especially relevant of these scholars' works, as they provide an interpretation of the profound crisis of civilization we are going through and clarify the new philosophical dimensions pointed by their respective thoughts.

The Seminar, open to all interested parties, intends, based on the systematic study of Autrement qu'être or au-delà de l'essence (we will also use the Spanish and Portuguese translations), and in dialogue with the thoughts of Rosenzweig, Benjamin, Adorno, Flusser and Agamben, among others, facilitate the approach to this exceptional intellectual construct.

From imitation to empathy: the bases of identification and transference in modern philosophy (Spinoza, Malebranche, Rousseau).
COD Workload Description
1916P-02 30 In the 17th century, the imitation of affections and passions appears as the basis of philosophical anthropology but also as a mechanism that explains human sociability. This imitation is especially developed in the work of Malebranche and Spinoza, in the seventeenth century, and Rousseau in the eighteenth. This theory of affects is of particular interest not only from an anthropological and political point of view, but also from a behavioural point of view. The basis of this theory of affects is imitation, the implications of which are currently being studied in philosophy, psychology and neuroscience. From an interdisciplinary perspective, in dialogue with current trends, this course proposes a genealogy of imitation as a matrix of behaviour and affects in the history of philosophy. The aim is to clarify the philosophical bases of mimetic behaviour and from there to dialogue with the different current theories that analyse this subject.
