Among these challenges, the problem of other minds stands out, questioning the possibility of scientifically knowing the mental states of others, since only one’s own conscious experience is directly accessible. In this context, this dissertation aims to defend the scientific status of Psychology from the perspective of the analytic-behavioral approach, with radical behaviorism as its central theoretical framework. To this end, a philosophical and conceptual analysis is conducted of the notion of science, the historical difficulties faced by Psychology in establishing itself as a scientific discipline, and the implications of mind-body dualism for the epistemological status of the field. Subsequently, the foundations of radical behaviorism are examined, particularly the redefinition of mind as behavior — public or covert — and the rejection of mentalism as a causal explanation. Finally, the implications of this approach for research and clinical practice are discussed, with emphasis on Analytic-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP). It is argued that by shifting the focus from inaccessible inner states to the functional relations between organism and environment, Behavior Analysis makes it possible to methodologically circumvent the problem of other minds while preserving criteria of objectivity, predictability, and control consistent with the natural sciences. The conclusion is that the analytic-behavioral approach provides a philosophically and scientifically robust foundation for Psychology, allowing it to maintain its scientific character despite traditional philosophical dilemmas.

The central objective is to explore the potential of Gadamerian hermeneutics to promote an educational approach that values cultural and epistemological diversity, countering the technicist and Eurocentric rationality predominantly present in contemporary educational systems. The research, theoretical and bibliographical in nature, is structured into four chapters. The first chapter examines education as a hermeneutic- philosophical experience, drawing on Gadamer's concepts of understanding, tradition, and the fusion of horizons. The second chapter investigates the consequences of modern rationality on the formative process, relating them to the colonial structures that decolonial education seeks to dismantle. The third chapter proposes a hermeneutics of education from a decolonial perspective, articulating Gadamerian concepts with the propositions of decolonial authors such as Walter Mignolo and Catherine Walsh. The fourth chapter explores the practical application of this integrated approach in concrete educational contexts. The theoretical framework for philosophical hermeneutics is primarily based on Gadamer's works, such as "Truth and Method," complemented by interpretations from scholars like Jean Grondin and Richard Palmer. For decolonial education, the research draws on authors like Aníbal Quijano, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, and Paulo Freire, among others. The adopted methodology is qualitative, with an emphasis on interpretive analysis and the construction of theoretical dialogues between the fields of hermeneutics and decoloniality. The research conducts a critical and dialogical reading of fundamental works, seeking to establish connections and propose innovative properties. The results indicate that integrating Gadamerian hermeneutics with the decolonial perspective offers significant potential to enhance educational practices, promoting a more dialogical, reflective, and culturally sensitive education. The dissertation concludes that this integrated approach can contribute to building a pedagogy that not only educates but also emancipates, valuing the plurality of knowledge and the richness of cultural traditions in the formation of a more just and equitable society.

By discussing issues related to art, politics, and the very exploration of the impulses that are part of human nature, the playwright and philosopher Schiller opens up space for us to consider the contributions aesthetics makes to the customs and character of individuals. Although the categories of art and morality are often thought of as distinct elements, these two particularities share a certain connection in Schiller's thought, as the artistic, in its own way, influences a form of reflection and contribution to the ethical, political, and cultural problems faced by humankind in the Age of Enlightenment. With this understanding in mind, this research focuses on morality as a central point in Schiller's aesthetic reflections, seeking to demonstrate how, through the phenomenon of art, art can play a morally formative role in individuals, enabling these moral subjects to act and express themselves freely within the cultural context in which they find themselves. Following a dual approach, this research seeks first to explore Schiller's youth and adulthood, demonstrating how the moral element permeates his thought, particularly in his works: “The Robbers”; “Kallias, or on Beauty”; and “The Aesthetic Education of Man”. Secondly, drawing on his “Naive and Sentimental Poetry” and several essays that comprise “Theory of Tragedy”, we will examine how the relationship between art and morality is debated and how the former can infuse the latter with a reflective direction for the betterment of human beings in society.

The study sought to analyze the dionysian and apollonian impulses related to the Greek gods Dionysus and Apollo and their implications within the universe of the bumba-meu-boi. Initialy, and more specifically, the work The Birth of Tragedy by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche will be analyzed, seeking a greater understanding of tragedy and the tragic in ancient Greek culture as na artistic and cultural manifestation of the greeks who saw in their characters a way of expressing the power of their gods.
