Paulo Ghiraldelli

Entender - e explicar - Jair Bolsonaro n o tarefa simples. A interpreta o do que faz e representa o atual presidente e seu governo passa longe dos modelos tradicionais de an lise. Por isso A filosofia explica Bolsonaro, de Paulo Ghiraldelli Jr., chega como um livro fundamental: o olhar cr tico, feroz e original do autor ajuda a observar o Brasil de Bolsonaro a partir da l gica do atual governo - uma l gica fora dos padr es a que estamos acostumados. Pol mico na forma e sem medo do confronto no conte do, o fil sofo disseca, em cap tulos geis e breves, os atos e, sobretudo, os personagens que protagonizam talvez a mais profunda ruptura com os padr es tradicionais a que assistimos na hist ria pol tica e cultural brasileira - dos tr s filhos de Bolsonaro (conhecidos como 01, 02 e 03) a Olavo de Carvalho, passando pelos ministros S rgio Moro e Paulo Guedes, al m de personagens como a deputada Joice Hasselmann e o chanceler Ernesto Ara jo. Sem esquecer os temas que mais mobilizam a cabe a - e a raiva - do presidente e seus seguidores: a educa o, o meio ambiente, a cultura e, claro, o ex-presidente Lula, a esquerda e o comunismo. Com clareza, humor e esp rito combativo, Ghiraldelli apresenta um texto destinado a todos leitores dispostos a pensar.

Richard Rorty's neopragmatist philosophy marks him as one of the most gifted and controversial thinkers of his time. Antifoundationalism and antirepresentationalism are the guiding motifs in his thought. He wants to jettison a set of philosophical distinctions—appearance/reality, mind/body, morality/prudence—that have dominated and shaped the history of Western philosophy since the time of Plato. It is a position that has propelled him into a series of heated debates with philosophers who are the most influential of their generation—analytic philosophers such as Quine, Davidson, Rawls, and Putnam; as well as Continental philosophers, including Habermas, Derrida, Foucault, and Lyotard. At the same time, Rorty's work has helped to break down the artificial separation between these two wings of Western philosophy by acting as an intellectual bridge between them. This distinctive collection by scholars from around the world focuses upon the cultural, educational, and political significance of his thought. The nine essays which comprise the collection examine a variety of related themes: Rorty's neopragmatism, his view of philosophy, his philosophy of education and culture, Rorty's comparison between Dewey and Foucault, his relation to postmodern theory, and, also his form of political liberalism.
