1. ARISTOTLE’S ARGUMENT FROM UNIVERSAL MATHEMATICS AGAINST THE EXISTENCE OF PLATONIC FORMS
Abstract In Metaphysics M.2, 1077a9-14, Aristotle appears to argue against the existence of Platonic Forms on the basis of there being certain universal mathematical proofs which are about things that are ‘beyond’ the ordinary objects of mathematics and that cannot be identified with any of these. It is a very effective argument against Platonism, becaus

2. AVOIDING INFINITE REGRESS: POSTERIOR ANALYTICS I 22
Abstract This article offers a reconstruction of an argument against infinite regress formulated by Aristotle in Posterior Analytics I 22. I argue against the traditional interpretation of the chapter, according to which singular terms and summa genera, in virtue of having restrict logical roles, provide limits for predicative chains, preventing them from pr

3. INESCAPABILITY REVISITED
Abstract According to constitutivism, the objective authority of practical reason is to be grounded in the constitutive features of agency. In this paper, I offer a brief survey of the basic structure of constitutive argument about objectivity and consider how constitutivism might dispel the worry that it can only ground a conditional kind of authority. I th

4. The mathematics of McTaggart's paradox
Mc Taggart's celebrated proof of the unreality of time is a chain of implications whose final step asserts that the A-series (i.e. the classification of events as past, present or future) is intrinsically contradictory. This is widely believed to be the heart of the argument, and it is where most attempted refutations have been addressed; yet, it is also the

5. The French proverbs utilized as argumentation in art chronicles / Os provérbios utilizados como forma de argumentação nas crônicas de arte
The analysis of French proverbs as arguments requires a previous study of their origins, historical and cultural role and their characteristics. The main elements that differ them from other sentence genres are their sentence content, their fixed form that allows them to be recognized as an independent sentence, their implicative nature and their relationshi

6. No man is an island: John Donne e a poética da agudeza na Inglaterra no século XVII / No man is an island: John Donne and the poetics of wit in England in the early 17th century
This Ph.D. thesis examines the poetry of John Donne (1572-1631) in the light of the representative practices in the learned circles of 17th century courts. Presuming that there was an effective presence of a rhetorical institution at that time, which conditioned poetical production, I have adopted a critical methodology that displaces the classificatory limi

12. Logica positiva : plenitude, potencialidade e problemas (do pensar sem negação)
This work studies some problems connected to the role of negation in logic, treating the positive fragments of propositional calculus in order to deal with two main questions: the proof of the completeness theorems in systems lacking negation, and the puzzle raised by positive paradoxes like the well-known argument of Haskel Curry. We study the constructive
