Space and Time in the Foundations of Mathematics, or Some Challenges in the Interactions with Other Sciences2021 •
There is a paradox in exploring space-time and the limits of human understanding from the perspective of mathematics. For mathematics provides the language in which theories of space-time are formulated and yet is understood to be outside of space and time itself. For example, geometry is the science of space, and yet is itself beyond space. A second paradox is that the science of mathematics is widely accepted as transcending the limits of human understanding and knowing. It expresses truths that apply across and beyond all space and time, imposed on all rational beings by logical necessity. But how can this be reconciled with the fact that mathematics is humanly created? The history of its creation is there for all to see? How can it exceed the knowledge capacities of its authors? In accounting for the relationships between mathematics, space-time and the limits of human understanding I suggest a resolution to these paradoxes. However, this requires the Promethean task of bringing mathematics from heaven back down to earth.
This paper is a brief (and hopelessly incomplete) non-standard introduction to the philosophy of space and time. It is an introduction because I plan to give an overview of what I consider some of the main questions about space and time: Is space a substance over and above matter? How many dimensions does it have? Is space-time fundamental or emergent? Does time have a direction? Does time even exist? Nonetheless, this introduction is not standard because I conclude the discussion by presenting the material with an original spin, guided by a particular understanding of fundamental physical theories, the so-called primitive ontology approach.

Atualidade e eternidade: a modernidade em Charles BaudelaireApesar de Charles Baudelaire ser um marco obrigatório na discussão da modernidade, um conceito mais preciso desta não se deixa apreender com facilidade em sua obra poética e em seus textos ensaísticos, parecendo mesmo ser utilizado ali em diversas acepções. Neste texto vamos acompanhar a obra do poeta francês, tanto na sua produção literária quanto na sua crítica de arte, procurando mostrar como ele propõe, na Paris de meados do século XIX, uma leitura muito específica da tradição e de sua relação com a modernidade. Vamos mostrar como ali emerge uma estética modernista que coloca a questão da autofundamentação da arte, na qual a experiência estética da modernidade vai necessariamente se fundir com a experiência histórica, sendo a obra de arte o ponto no qual se encontram os eixos da atualidade e da eternidade.
