O sujeito do conhecimento – o objeto da ação: a “passagem”, identidade e diferença na filosofia de Arthur Schopenhauer
2009
In the present text, I’ll dwell upon the tensions or contradictions in the philosophy of Schopenhauer, and I’ll try to understand them instead of accusing the philosopher of irrationality or inconsequence. The first part of the text investigates Schopenhauer’s theory of knowledge under the aspects of difference and passage, and the second part investigates the liason between etchis and aesthetics searching for an answer for the question of the present identity in the determination of compassion as an expression of the knowledge of the unity of the will.
How connected are the major forms of irrationality? : an analysis of pseudoscience, science denial, fact resistance and alternative facts
2017
Science is a fact-finding practice, but there are many other fact-finding practices that apply largely the same patterns of reasoning in order to achieve as reliable information as possible in empirical issues. The fact-finding practices form in their turn a subcategory of rational discourse, a wider category that also encompasses argumentation on non-empirical issues. Based on these categories, it is easy to see the relationship between on the one hand pseudoscience, on the other hand fact resistance, disinformation, and fallacies of reasoning. The flaws in argumentation are similar, and the main difference is whether or not the subject matter falls within or without the realm of science.
The Rise and Fall of the Aizjomi Landscape†
2012
Jurmalciems, an ancient fishing-farming village on the Baltic Sea coast in southwestern Latvia, provides the setting for this article. In this setting I focus on the notion of dwelling in a landscape that comes to reflect the residents' lifeworld. The holistic notion of "dwelling" incorporates the complex and multiple dimensions of human life spent in the physical landscape, where time and space, nature and culture, are bound together and where local and macrolevel historical and social circumstances determine them both. This study is my attempt to understand a visible reality: the aizjonii landscape that is etched into the topography in the form of fields carved and embosomed into sandbank…
Inconscio collettivo, norma fondamentale e confine sociologico
2019
Il saggio affronta il tema dell’inconscio collettivo, ciò che spiega la premessa sull’ irrazionalità dell’azione. Tale tema ci consente anche di indagare la questione del registro di oggettività della scienza sociologica e della sua autonomia dalla psicologia accostando casi diversi al tema, già consolidato, e forse persino obsoleto. The essay deals with the theme of the collective unconscious, which explains the premise on the irrationality of action. This theme also allows us to investigate the question of the objectivity register of sociological science and its autonomy from psychology by approaching different cases to the already consolidated and perhaps even obsolete theme.
Valeur boursière versus valeur comptable
2011
International audience; Cet article a pour objet d’apporter une explication à l’écart constaté entre la valeur comptable et la valeur boursière des sociétés. Nous avons supposé qu’il peut être expliqué par l’irrationalité et « l’auto-référentialité » du marché, ainsi que par l’incapacité du modèle comptable traditionnel à traduire la valeur de la firme. Nos résultats corroborent la majorité de nos hypothèses et montrent que la distorsion entre la valeur comptable et la valeur boursière est une conséquence directe de la comptabilité au coût historique, de la prudence comptable, de la non-activation des certains éléments immatériels, ainsi que de la mauvaise évaluation (mispricing) des titres…
