Federico Boccaccini
I am Senior Research Fellow of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and at the Department of Philosophy of the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) in Brazil, as well as"collaborateur scientifique" at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Liege (Belgium) and Research Fellow of the Postgraduate Program at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Brasília, where I have been Visiting Professor (2018-2022). I have been also Visiting Professor at the State University of Amapá (2023-2024). After my Degree in Philosophy (2005) at The University of Rome La Sapienza, Master's (2006) and Doctorate in Philosophy (2011) at the Sorbonne (Paris1), I joined the Department of Liege in 2011 as a postdoctoral fellow (2011-2013) and then as a researcher associated with the project "The School of Brentano" directed by A. Dewalque (2013-2014). In addition, in 2013 I have been an Academic Visitor at the University of Oxford, Corpus Christi College (ERC Project directed by A. Marmodoro). From 2014 to 2017, I worked as a Junior Research Fellow at the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research (F.R.S.-FNRS) where received as Principal Investigator a three-year grant for my ACME project on the history and metaphysics of mental acts in 19th-century philosophy. Also, I collaborated on the project "L' expérience des états mentaux/the experience of mental states" between the University of Liege and the University of Fribourg (Switzerland), funded by the FNRS and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).
Much of my work focuses on the legacy and impact of early modern philosophy (epistemology and psychology) in the 19th and 20th centuries, with particular attention to the connection between Franz Brentano and the rise of modern psychology, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, and contemporary philosophy of mind. Starting from post-Kantian epistemology and the theory of mind in Brentano and Husserl, another current line of my research studies the theory of emotions and moral psychology. Among my works, the monograph Franz Brentano. Mente, coscienza, realtà, Rome, Carocci, 2021, which I am translating into Portuguese (Brentano: mente, consciência, realidade), Franz Brentano Critical Assessment, 4 vols, Routledge, 2019 (both with M. Antonelli), guest editor of the British Journal for the History of Philosophy (with A. Marmodoro), Revue Philosophique de Louvain, Rivista di filosofia. My main current project is on Locke and Modern intentionality and ontology of mind. I am considering writing one book on the history of psychological associationism, from Locke to Wundt, its influence and impact on human sciences and literary and scientific Modern Western imagination.

il succéda à Herbart, il mena un parcours de recherche aussi original qu’influent. Entre romantisme et positivisme, entre naturalisme et historicisme, sa doctrine ne s’est jamais confondue avec les courants les plus importants de son époque. Admirée et suivie, autant en Allemagne qu’à l’étranger, sa pensée fut ensuite, après sa mort, condamnée à l’oubli en raison de son supposé éclectisme méthodologique et, finalement, classée sous la rubrique ambiguë d’« idéal-réalisme ». Le legs de Lotze s’inscrit dans un rapport complexe à la phénoménologie,
à la philosophie analytique naissante, au pragmatisme américain et au néokantisme allemand jusqu’à Heidegger. L’analyse de ce legs n’a cependant jamais bénéficié d’une réflexion critique capable d’en mesurer la portée et les limites. Par un travail d’évaluation historico-critique, ce volume se propose de combler cette lacune.

Feeling and Philosophy: The Affective Paradigm Reconsidered (Early 19th – Early 20th Centuries)
During the period under consideration in this proposed issue there is a great revival of interest in the powers, capacities or faculties of the human mind, leading to innovative accounts which partially ground in a broad sense, modern psychology. Having inherited a general classification of the cognitive and moral powers from late Scholasticism, many authors during the period under consideration were mainly interested in putting them to work, to explain and describe how we think and perceive (rather than the contents of our thoughts and perceptions). Accordingly, the proposed special issue examines several aspects of the mental life, including perception, attention, reflection, imagination, consciousness, conscience, self-knowledge, activity and passivity of thought.
memória, que são atividades ligadas a intencionalidade mental.
Objetivo e conteúdo: O curso visa treinar os alunos sobre os fundamentos da filosofia de Franz Brentano (1838-1917), professor de Husserl e de Freud em Viena, e a origem de dois movimentos entre os mais importan-tes da filosofia contemporanea: a fenomenologia e a filosofia analitica. O curso buscará, em primei-ro lugar, reconstruir o debate sobre a natureza da mente a partir da questão da intencionalidade mental, ponto focal da filosofia de Brentano, oferecendo, em secundo lugar, um treinamento sobre o debate entre mente e linguagem e mente e corpo no inicio do século XX, até o debate atual sobre o estatuto epistemológico da consciência. O curso será dividido em cinco pontos, analisando principalmente: (1) questões históricas e teóricas sobre a psicologia, a lógica e o psicologismo no século XIX (Her-bart, Trendelenburg, Lotze, Bolzano, Brentano); (2) o debate sobre o estatuto ontológico dos objetos contraditórios ou inexistentes (Brentano, Mei-nong, Russell); (3) a resposta de Husserl a Brentano e a origem da fenomenologia; (4) intencionalidade e linguagem (Marty, Kerry, Frege, Wittgenstein); (5) intencionalidade e consciência: de Brentano a Chalmers e Kriegel. Avaliação: Entrega de um trabalho final. Principais referências: Leituras obrigatórias:-M. Antonelli, F. Boccaccini, Franz Brentano, 4 vols, London-New York, Routledge, 2019. Outras leituras:-M.

Objetivos e conteúdo do curso:
O que é a mente? O objetivo geral do curso é investigar a origem histórica e conceitual da noção de mente na filosofia moderna, enquanto conceito que se desenvolve entre a psicologia filosófica e a teoria do conhecimento (epistemologia). O objetivo especifico é analisar, em primeiro lugar, o diferente sentido de mente entre o racionalismo e o empirismo, de Descartes a Hume. Abordaremos o problema de se o conhecimento humano precisa de uma ferramenta separada da experiência sensível ou, ao contrário, condicionada pela experiência mesma. No primeiro caso, o curso explicará os princípios de uma metafisica da mente de Descartes a Hegel.
No secundo caso, o curso analisará a constituição de uma psicologia da mente, de Locke a Condillac.
Em segundo lugar, o curso questionará o problema da realidade do sujeito da experiência: a capacidade da consciência de reconhecer suas percepções e estados mentais como um todo unitário-ou - o que chamamos o eu - é a origem e a condição de nossa experiência ou o seu resultado final?
Partindo deste problema especifico, nesta parte do curso buscaremos expor a transformação do conceito de mente, do projeto de filosofia transcendental de Kant até o surgimento da fenomenologia de Brentano e Husserl.
