Poetic-Pragmtatic Materialism

Another Paradigm for Contemporary and Brazilian Philosophy

Abstract

(This article is part of a project by Trans/Form/Ação: Unesp Philosophy Journal. It is the Authorial Philosophy Dossier, to be published in 2022.) The text presents some 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 intersubjective ways nowadays generalized in the non-mentalist philosophical scene, as well as it recapitulates the ways of concerted, plural team work and platform behind the new paradigm's progressive development.
