Elementos alquímicos na teoria magnética de F. A. Mesmer

Maria Siqueira Santos

Fiz reflexões sobre o conhecimento em geral, e mais particularmente sobre a doutrina da influência dos corpos celestes sobre o planeta em que habitamos. Essas reflexões me levaram a pesquisar nos escombros daquela ciência, aviltada pela ignorância, o que ela podia ter de útil e de verdadeiro. Conforme minhas ideias sobre essa matéria, ofertei à Viena, em 1766, uma Dissertação a respeito da influência dos planetas sobre os corpos humanos.

Sobre as relações históricas entre a física e a metafísica na obra de Pierre Duhem

Jorge Cardoso

resumo No presente artigo, procuramos mostrar, por intermédio de numerosos exemplos, que a distinção lógica operada por Pierre Duhem entre a física e a metafísica não impossibilita que, do ponto de vista histórico, o autor reconheça a existência de um entrosamento profícuo a cingir as duas áreas do saber. Distingui-mos três níveis possíveis de interação entre a física e a metafísica, porque acreditamos que ele aceita (a) que o físico trabalha constantemente movido por ambições metafísicas não autorizadas pela rigorosa lógica, (b) que os sistemas metafísicos contribuíram para muitos dos progressos das teorias físicas, em especial, para o nascimento da ciência moderna e (c) que podemos identificar tradições metafísicas de pesquisa duradouras que se mostraram mais férteis do que algumas tradições positivas. Palavras-chave • Duhem. Física. Metafísica. Metodologia. História da ciência. Historiografia. Introdução A complexidade da obra historiográfica de Duhem garantiu a persistência dos debates que se levantaram nas décadas seguintes à sua publicação. Boa parte da polêmica obte-ve repercussão devido à natureza original e controversa de suas teses, as quais ainda têm gerado discussões minuciosas sobre aspectos particulares relativos à ciência medieval e seu nascimento. Mas outra parte da polêmica, não menos relevante, adveio de uma interpretação resultante de uma leitura um tanto parcial que não leva em consi-deração a amplitude das questões históricas presentes no decurso das obras de nosso autor. Tem sido quase que uma constante a imputação à obra duhemiana de uma sim-plificação histórica excessiva, ocasionada, entre outras coisas, pela exclusão indevida das influências metafísicas na história da física. Que esta qualificação seja incorreta é o que pretendemos mostrar neste artigo por meio de numerosos exemplos e de pres-supostos filosóficos relacionados à história da ciência. Mas, se sua historiografia não obscurece o papel que a metafísica importou à física, qual a procedência do engano de scientiae zudia, São Paulo, v. 11, n. 2, p. 305-31, 2013 305

O PROBLEMA DA INTUIÇÃO MÍSTICA COMO INSTRUMENTO DE INVESTIGAÇÃO METAFÍSICA NA OBRA DE HENRI BERGSON

2020 •

INTERAÇÕES PUC Minas

RESUMO Bergson buscou o estabelecimento de uma nova metafísica, que levasse o ser humano a um conhecimento mais profundo de si mesmo e do cosmos, e que nesse processo fundasse uma nova moral, assim como outras categorias gnosiológicas que transcendessem o instrumentalismo violento de um mundo escravo de uma ciência excessivamente baconiana. Nosso propósito neste artigo é mostrar como, ao final de sua obra e vida, a temática religiosa surge como campo privilegiado para a realização e a compreensão da totalidade e da essência de seu projeto refundador da filosofia. Da crítica ao pragmatismo jamesiano à mística como única saída para o ser humano (transcendendo um pensamento geométrico em direção ao pensamento da duração), Bergson desenha no horizonte, ainda numa época cega a este questionamento, a indagação se de fato, como crê uma inteligência desavisada, a religião morreu como agente ativo no diálogo intelectual ocidental. Palavras-chave: Duração. Intuição. Élan vital. Mística. ABSTRACT Bergson sought the establishment of a new metaphysics, which would take the human being to a deeper knowledge of himself and the cosmos, and in this process would found a new morality, as well as other gnosiological categories that transcend the violent instrumentalism of a world slave to an excessively baconian science. Our purpose in this article is to show how, at the end of his work and life, the religious theme emerges as a privileged field for the realization and understanding of the totality and the essence of his refounding project of philosophy. From criticism to Jamesian pragmatism to mystique as the only way out for the human being (transcending a geometric thought towards the thought of duration), Bergson draws on the horizon, even at a time blind to this questioning, the question of whether in fact, how one believes unsuspecting intelligence, religion died as an active agent in Western intellectual dialogue. Keywords: Duration. Intuiton. Élan vital. Mystique.

LINGUAGEM, VERDADE E PODER EM HEIDEGGER E FOUCAULT: CONFRONTAÇÕES COM A HISTÓRIA DO PENSAMENTO METAFÍSICO

Filipe Passos

Resumo: No presente artigo, abordamos as questões da linguagem, da verdade e do poder, bem como suas imbricações, a partir dos pensamentos filosóficos de Martin Heidegger e Michel Foucault. Nessa abordagem, mostramos como os pensamentos dos referidos autores, ao tratar das questões supracitadas, rompem com os parâmetros estabelecidos pelo pensamento metafísico tradicional, que, ao longo de sua história, tratou das questões da linguagem, da verdade e do poder a partir de conceitos tais como fundamento, teleologia, subjetividade. Abordamos também o impacto dos pensamentos heideggeriano e foucaultiano, enfatizando suas divergências e afinidades.

Ciência, magia e filosofia em Eric Weil

2021 •

Judikael Castelo Branco

This paper comprises relations between the terms listed in the the text “Science, magie et philosophie” by Eric Weil. Therefore, it is structured in three different moments. In the first, we look for the foundations of Weil’s arguments by replacing the relationship between science and magic as worldviews that coincide in what the magic as a promise and the Science achieved as an achievement. In the second moment, we see the transition from the theoria of ancient science to the theory of modern sciences and the questions surrounding the possibility of a comprehensive view of reality. Finally, we take the question of the meaning of modern magic, and, at the same time, the need for philosophy as a condition for thinking about the dilemma of the coexistence of the demands of a civilization modeled by science with the persistence of questions of meaning of human life.
