Title: Linguagem, civilização e moral no pensamento de Friedrich Nietzsche Abstract: This study analyzes Friedrich Nietzsche's critique of Western civilization, taking his radical distrust of language as a guiding thread. The investigation posits that Nietzschean philosophy is not merely a theoretical deconstruction, but offers a path toward overcoming moral and existential decadence. Methodologically, the study relies on the analysis of the author's primary works, supported by the theoretical framework of commentators such as Patrick Wotling and Carlos Alberto Ribeiro de Moura. Initially, it examines the genesis of language in the essay On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense, revealing that truth is not a reflection of reality, but a metaphorical and conventional network that, once petrified, becomes the foundation of a deception that defines civilization. Subsequently, the research delves into the relationship between language and the formation of civilization, discussing how the crystallization of words serves as a tool for establishing herd morality and domesticating instincts. It analyzes how this scenario culminates in the creation of bad conscience—a mechanism through which the individual introjects guilt and submits to a regulatory authority. Finally, the will to power is presented as the Nietzschean response to decadence, understood not as a first principle, but as an interpretive hypothesis that reads reality through the body and the affirmation of life. It concludes that, by unmasking language and morality as conventions, Nietzsche opens space for overcoming decadent man in favor of a new mode of existence, capable of creating new values and affirming life in its growing multiplicity.

Title: A imaginação produtiva e reprodutiva em Immanuel Kant Abstract: This study investigates the faculty of imagination (Einbildungskraft) in Immanuel Kant's Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View, aiming to understand its nature, its different aptitudes, and its role in the constitution of human experience. It is based on the interpretation that, in this work, imagination belongs primarily to the domain of sensibility rather than thought, a position grounded especially in the interpretation proposed by Olavo Calabria. First, the Kantian distinction between sensibility, imagination, and understanding is examined, highlighting the intermediary role of imagination between feeling and thinking. Next, the productive and reproductive aptitudes of imagination are analyzed, showing that the former originally organizes sensible manifold, making experience possible, while the latter reactivates previously acquired representations. The study also examines the authorial faculties described by Kant, including plastic sensible imagination, associative imagination, and affinity, as well as the voluntary and involuntary impulses and the autonomous and heteronomous modes of imagination. In order to clarify these distinctions, the research draws on everyday examples, personal experiences, artistic manifestations, and philosophical analogies, seeking to bring Kantian reflection closer to ordinary experience without compromising conceptual rigor. The research is based on a bibliographical review, taking Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View as its primary source, complemented by secondary literature on the subject. It concludes that imagination plays an indispensable role in human life by organizing sensible experience, enabling recollection, guiding artistic creation, and continuously mediating the relationship between the subject and the world, thereby revealing itself as one of the richest and most complex faculties in Kant's philosophy.

Title: Marxismo e psicanálise freudiana: Fundamentos da crítica ecológica da sociedade por Herbert Marcuse Abstract: The german philosopher Herbert Marcuse develops an ecological critique of advanced capitalist society through the appropriation of concepts from Marx and Freudian psychoanalysis. The objective of this work is to understand the theoretical foundations that compose this critique. To achieve this objective, the argumentative path followed by the philosopher is examined in detail, exposing the roots of this critique. He addresses the effects of the repressive instinctual modifications carried out by the productive system for the purpose of maintaining the established order. He also shows how these modifications have created a scenario of general destructiveness, which is likewise very useful for maintaining the prevailing order. Initially, an investigation is conducted into how Marcuse makes use of Freudian concepts in his theory. He explores drive theory in order to introduce a concern with the individual, which does not exist in Marxist thought. Subsequently, it is discussed how Marxism constitutes the background of the entire argumentative chain developed by the philosopher, insofar as he is a non-orthodox Marxist thinker. The relationship between these two influences defines Marcuse's ecological critique of society. Therefore, in order to understand this critique, it is essential to understand the dynamics that Marcuse establishes between them. He explores the mechanisms of domination of this society in order to expose its contradictions, between what is proclaimed that the individual can be and what it is effectively possible for him to be. Likewise, he examines the historical possibilities for overcoming the high levels of repression and alienated labor by relating the liberation of individuals to the liberation of nature. Marcuse understands that, although a certain degree of instinctual repression is necessary for the civilizing process, this repressive structure is no longer justified in view of the advance of technical progress, and greater freedom is possible through the pursuit of the achievements permitted by humanitarian progress. Marcuse sees in nature a resistance to the intentions of capitalist exploitation and expansion, both objectively and subjectively. Through the human appropriation of nature, the environment becomes a source for the recovery of aesthetic qualities of a sensual order. Aesthetic qualities are essentially non-violent and non-dominating, and are capable of eliminating aggressiveness, institutionalized destructiveness and, ultimately, the unhappiness and frustration that characterize repressive society. They provide the pacification of human existence. Thus, nature becomes the appropriate means for human gratification and a new relationship between nature and humanity is established. In this final stage, the concepts mobilized by Marcuse that are necessary to bring about this change in society are presented, such as radical change and the radical character structure. The possibilities for reversing a society oriented toward productivity into a society that benefits human fulfillment and happiness depend on the construction of a new sensibility that guides this transformation. A new sensibility that acts as a new reason, different from the current technological reason that deepens the domination of individuals.
