Based on Foucault's thinking, this article intends to show intersecting points in Ancient Greece,  between piloting, connected to the navegation metaphor and the notion of governamentality. Going through one's own government, political government and medicine,  which to the French thinker, are the three activities that come closest to the art of driving a boat, we see how this took up significant space in Greek literature and social life, with well-defined ranges and functions. With intelligence, skill, and especially knowing how to recognize wind  direction, and orientation  from stars, the pilot is whoever has enough techne to lead the ship, which primarily is the subject itself and afterwards, it's the other , until an eventual safe haven.

 The present writing, characterized as reflective, seeks to analyze the ideas that can be recognized in a logic of approximations and or contradictions between the constituent elements of the themes body/corporeality and science/technology in a pandemic moment that is plaguing society. Therefore, arguments will be opposed, in an axiological perspective, of elements present in the creation and operationalization of technology and of perceiving and experiencing corporeality. The arguments emphasize that to properly associate the two themes, it is necessary to resize the perception of the body. It is hoped, with this form of logical and sensitive reasoning, to contribute to the analysis of the relationships of human beings in the walk towards the possibility of (re)emergence of the importance of the human in man.

The main objective of this article is to understand what is beautiful in poetry from the philosophical perspective of Benedito Nunes based on the poems of Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Specifically, we will take the path that some philosophers made in their discussion of what is beautiful, and then demonstrate how Heidegger's thought influenced Benedito Nunes 'philosophical way of thinking and finally demonstrate how poetry expresses the sensitive world by Carlos' poems. Drummond de Andrade, realizing the relationship with the philosophical and literary aspects and how Belo is configured in this context. To achieve the objectives, we opted to carry out a descriptive and bibliographic research, following the theoretical path of Benedito Nunes, from the work Crivo de Papel (1998). The research dialogues with two major human areas Philosophy and Literature are interconnected when we talk about poetry, and how the Beautiful as it is present in a particular way in our sensitive experience.

The text presents an attempt to understand, within the framework of Hannah Arendt's thought, her refusal to be called a philosopher, and relates this circumstance to her experiences in Germany during Nazism and her intention to reflect on politics in a context in which tradicional responses are no longer able to provide guidance. Taking into account the relationship, identified by Arendt, between the absence of thought and evil, it investigates whether the faculty of judgment, released by thought, can be affected not only by thoughtlessness, but by the radicalization of the very conditions of thinking.

Given that the material conditional can be true in three different situations, an empirical datum can confirm different conditionals. In fact, the same datum can confirm even conditionals that appear to be in contradiction with each other. By means of an example presented by Khemlani, Byrne, and Johnson-Laird, this issue is addressed below. To do that, the present paper resorts to the concept of reduction sentence offered by Carnap. The conclusions refer to the idea that, if this last concept is assumed, the problems of the confirmation of the conditional seem to disappear. This is, at least, as far as the example dealt with here is concerned.

In her political theory, especially in her work On Revolution, Hannah Arendt not only analyzed and discussed the sense and meaning of revolutions (especially French and American) and criticized the functioning of representative democracy based on the system of political parties, but also highlighted councils as propitious spaces where men can act through action and discourse , in the presence of their peers and to occupy together the political life of their country. In this article, the main objective is to analyze the birth of these councils in the light of Hannah Arendt’s political theory, as true spaces of freedom that have always emerged in the course of great revolutions spontaneously and outside the scope of political parties or any leader andthat can provide citizens with conditions for effective political participation.

Baggini and Stangroom (2006) informally introduce the notion of tension in the system of beliefs of a person. I propose a formalization of this notion in the Classical Sentential Logic; it results in measuring the tension of a set of sentences. This formalization uses the notion of semantic information.
