Poetic-Pragmatic Materialism: Another Paradigm for Contemporary and Brazilian Philosophy

Abstract

The text presents the basic elements for a new, detranscendentalized, poetic-pragmatic paradigm in philosophy, situated between pragmatism and praxis philosophy, a non-foundationalist, non-representationalist, anti-relativistic position essentially opposed to the dominant linguocentric or simply intersubjectivistic ways nowadays generalized in the non-mentalist philosophical scene, as well as it recapitulates the ways of concerted, plural team work and the platform behind the new paradigm’s progressive development.
