Título: A virada retórica implícita de Richard Rorty Autor(es): Santos, Cauim Ferreira das Neves Orientador: Fontes, Narbal de Marsillac Abstract: This dissertation aims to attest the implicit affinity of Richard Rorty's neopragmatism with rhetoric. The main goals of this work are: to contextualize and define rhetoric, highlighting the mistaken separation between rhetoric and philosophy, preceded by the anachronistic assimilation between the Sophists' teaching of logos and the rhētorikē created by Plato, correlated with the Sophists' devaluation in contrast to the development of philosophy; to verify the relationship between post-positivist analytical philosophy, and the influence of the linguistic and linguistic-pragmatic turns on the resurgence of rhetoric in 20th century philosophy, and that the radicalization of this movement in analytical philosophy by Rorty's neopragmatism is succeeded by an implicit rhetorical turn.

Título: A ética das virtudes e o problema do relativismo moral Autor(es): Nascimento, José Rudson Fidélis do Orientador: Barros, Vitor Sommavilla de Souza Abstract: The general objective of this work is to examine some discussions on virtues and the problem of relativism in the contemporary philosophical debate. In this sense, considering that, for moral relativism, different cultures incorporate different virtues, the purpose of this dissertation is to demonstrate how relativist ethics becomes a problem for Aristotelian virtue ethics, which seeks to offer an objective and universal foundation for human virtues. Therefore, the research aims to answer to what extent human virtues depend on objective foundations of human nature. Thus, the goal is to elucidate the arguments of some of the main neo-Aristotelian proponents of contemporary virtue ethics, such as Philippa Foot and Rosalind Hursthouse, in an attempt to respond to the problem of moral relativism. In view of this, these authors argue that it is possible to integrate morality into a naturalistic perspective, in order to demonstrate that it is grounded in the nature of human beings, and that this fact is sufficient to justify a universal and objective ethics, making clear that the exercise of virtues does not depend on contingent and subjective factors.

Título: O pluralismo razoável e a delimitação de doutrinas e modos de vida na filosofia política de John Rawls Autor(es): Prima, Davi Matheus Moura Tito da Cunha Orientador: Barros, Vitor Sommavilla de Souza Abstract: This work addresses the limits of the plurality of doctrines and ways of life in a democratic constitutional state, based on John Rawls's political liberalism. It examines the concept of reasonableness and the criterion of reciprocity used by Rawls to justify the exclusion of doctrines considered irreconcilable with democratic principles, taking into account the need to preserve reasonable pluralism and political stability. Along this path, it analyzes the notions of the political conception of the person, overlapping consensus, public reason, and the assumptions of an ideal theory of justice. The work considers the critiques put forward by feminist theorists such as Carole Pateman, Susan Okin, and Marilyn Friedman, aiming to investigate the role of Rawlsian theory in the face of gender inequalities. In response to these objections, Elizabeth Brake’s proposal of agnostic neutrality, based on epistemic criteria, is evaluated as an alternative that reconciles political liberalism with feminist demands. The study defends the hypothesis that, despite contemporary objections, Rawls’s political philosophy remains relevant for thinking about the delimitation of doctrines and ways of life in a constitutional democracy.

Título: A relação entre a banalidade do mal e a faculdade de pensar em Hannah Arendt Autor(es): Freitas, Carla Targino Orientador: Pequeno, Marconi José Pimentel Abstract: This dissertation aims to investigate Hannah Arendt's philosophical and political views through her comprehension of the banality of evil in relation to the faculty of thinking. Faced with the unprecedented evil perpetrated by the nazifascist totalitarian regime, tradition was unable to guide us in face of the moral catastrophes of the twentieth century concerning the nazi totalitarian regime. In Arendt's analysis regarding the desolation of the public sphere, which provides us with the political discourse required to take action on a global scale, man has lost his ability to share those thoughts in a plural way. Since the thinker's attendance at the nazi Adolf Eichmann's trial, Arendt began to establish a direct line between the faculty of thinking and the practice of evil. Throughout this work, we will be able to realize that Arendt didn't bequeath us rules of conduct initially established, but instead, she left us the prospect of understanding our time as long as we don't deprive ourselves of our spiritual faculties that are fundamental to illuminate the future.
