Uma interpretação jurídica sobre a suposta circularidade na fundamentação da filosofia transcendental de Kant
Authors: Trevisan Diego Kosbiau 
Published: September 2023

O presente artigo discute o modo de prova em atuação na dedução transcendental das categorias a partir do modelo jurídico de dedução, segundo o qual direitos ou competências são legitimados ou justificados (quaestio iuris) a partir de argumentos jurídicos e de dados históricos, fatuais ou simplesmente genéticos (quaestio facti). Ao reconhecer aqui um problema histórica e juridicamente bem definido, a saber, a circularidade da constituição do caso jurídico, pretende-se, assim, lançar nova luz à antiga objeção pós-kantiana sobre a suposta circularidade ou insuficiência da fundamentação da filosofia transcendental.
Aparições de uma Boa Vontade
Authors: Moreno Pires Carlos Eduardo 
Published: September 2023

Neste artigo, proponho como objetivo último o exame dos parágrafos 9 a 12 da primeira seção da Fundamentação da Metafísica dos Costumes, a partir da perspectiva de uma linha de raciocínio que podemos depreender da parte final do parágrafo 8. Pretendo mostrar que, nesse contexto da Fundamentação, Kant levanta uma discussão sobre graus de dificuldade e de facilidade relativos à aplicação da distinção conceitual entre ações por dever e ações que estão apenas externamente em conformidade com o dever, graus esses que variam de acordo com o que deparamos quando, em determinadas situações, buscamos de uma maneira ou outra notar possíveis aparições de uma boa vontade.
A Utopia Realista de Rawls: um diálogo com a Paz Perpétua de Kant
Authors: Coitinho Denis , Rosauro João Victor 
Published: September 2023

O objetivo central deste artigo é analisar a proposta rawlsiana de uma teoria da justiça em um nível global apresentada na obra The Law of Peoples (O Direito dos Povos), identificando as características centrais de sua utopia realista, que se contrapõe tanto ao realismo político quanto ao cosmopolitismo igualitário. Como a inspiração deste projeto é atribuída a obra Zur ewigen Frieden (À Paz Perpétua), de Kant, buscamos estabelecer um diálogo entre estes textos com a intenção de melhor compreender o escopo do direito dos povos e quais são seus aspectos mais relevantes. Para tal fim, apresentamos as teses centrais do texto de Rawls e, em seguida, identificamos as principais características da obra kantiana. Com isso realizado, analisamos os pontos comuns das referidas propostas no âmbito normativo, destacando, também, o que as aproxima e as diferencia no nível metodológico. Por fim, defendemos que o modelo proposto de uma utopia realista, como entendemos ser a proposta de Rawls e Kant, é uma alternativa bastante viável para pautar as relações internacionais contemporâneas.

Published: September 2023

The fashion industry has prospects and it can help to project the economy to compete with the international market. However, the extent of gender imbalance emerging from the Fashion Department of Kumasi Technical University is becoming a threat to the future of the industry. This paper is aimed at creating awareness of the extent of gender imbalance and promoting the inclusion of more male fashion students in fashion institutions. This was achieved by conducting an analysis of gender performance in Creative fashion design processes. The study employed educational Design and Quantitative research methods with a descriptive style of analysis. With a sample size of n=191, a structured questionnaire was distributed to participants on different occasions during class hours to gather relevant data for the study. The results showed that, though the female students were more than the male students, the male students performed better than the female students in terms of creative fashion design processes. Most of the students were of the opinion that the famous fashion designers in history and the present day are men. Also, most of the students responded that the best fashion designers in their locality are men. The study recommends that society needs to be educated and encourage more male students to take up fashion as a career.
