Vol. 14 No. 2 (2023)

Greetings readers,

Inquietude returns in this new edition with extended reflections from the reflections of the philosophical past, as well as critical reviews in source research on disturbing aspects of our present.

From the beginning, Adelino Pereira da Silva throws us directly into the reflective whirlwind about what we call "post-modern thinking" in the history of philosophy, with his text Beyond modernity: An analysis of postmodern in philosophy. For this, it uses a recollection about what is meant by "reason," and how the safest port of the "philosophical pier" becomes the central object of the most severe criticism.

Still in the yearnings of more recent themes, we will be presented by Aline Brasiliense dos Santos Brito how the concepts of "will" and "drive" call into question the works of Freud and Schopenhauer, in her article entitled Notes about the references of Freud to Schopenhauer: Trieb and Wille. As she points out, Schopenhauer is attentive, in part of his writings, to the concept of drive (Trieb), while Freud, although he has a reticent relationship with philosophy, turns to philosophical readings and with some Kantian inspiration begins to reflect on the idea of will (Wille).

Leaving behind what is more recent, André Pereira da Silva takes us to the old sages, retrieving the practical impulse of a philosophy linked to life, in his Lessons from Epicurus: Philosophy as a way of life. It is here that we are pointed perceptions about philosophy taken as an activity aimed at the achievement of pleasures and the conquest of happiness.

Advancing in this philosophical space-time, Carlos Cassiano Gomes Leite seeks to think ethical and political implications through conceptual claims of the work of Spinoza, by Laurent Bove and Mark Fisher, in his brilliant writing named Considerations about a certain Spinozist presence in the work of Laurent Bove and Mark Fisher. By presenting the approach of the authors mentioned to concepts such as "autonomous project of the crowd" and the Spinozan concept of "entity," Carlos Leite seeks to challenge the work of both to think politics as a power of inalienable institutional strength.

At the end of our journey, Lucas Ribeiro Vollet provides us with an article written in English, named Examining ideological premises in Frege’s semantics: An investigation of some standards of uniforming thinking about meaning in the beginnings of analytic philosophy. Bringing us back to the historical assumptions that influenced the reflexive clashes of the first article, Lucas Vollet resumes observations about the philosophical influences attributed to Frege, before the first phase of analytical philosophy, understanding how the conceptions of the attribution of values of truth based on semantic parameters come together in harmony with popular sociological perspectives regarding communication and understanding of what is communicated.

It is with the pleasure of the flickering of a boat in the waves of a vast ocean that we look at such articles, jumping from age to age in order to investigate topics aimed both for conceptual analysis and for the practical implications of human life, that are unquestionably permeated by philosophy.

Sincerely,

The editing.
