TL;DR: The use of the metaphor of the under existence of the plan of an old forum in the mind of its architect in order to understand the mode of being of the initial estate of the cosmos could originate a postulation of a plan in the divine mind or in the Nature as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The use of the metaphor of the under existence of the plan of an old forum in the mind of its architect in order to understand the mode of being of the initial estate of the cosmos could originate a postulation of a plan in the divine mind or in the Nature. The divine perfection and the evolutionary process of the cosmos and Reason, as they are exposed in PEIRCE's philosophy, seem to be opposed to the reality of such a plan. The present paper discusses this question.

TL;DR: In this article, a summarized discussion on the "theater's metaphor" as considered by Plato is presented, considering several turning points in the literature history and investigating the different uses of the metaphoric process in Guimaraes Rosa "Grande sertao: veredas" and "Pirlimpsiquice".
Abstract: This article is introduced with a summarized discussion on the "theater's metaphor" as considered by Plato. It goes on considering several turning points in the literature history and investigating the different uses of the metaphoric process in Guimaraes Rosa "Grande sertao: veredas" and "Pirlimpsiquice". Firt of all, in "Grande sertao" life is considered as a simbolic equivalent to actors performance in the stage: theater and life are seen, therefore, as concerning fields which identities can be stated upon christian religious doctrine and Plotino's philosophy. On the other hand, in "Pirlimpsiquice", Guimaraes Rosa points that the limits between life and theater fields can be sharply identified, leading to the conclusion that the different degrees of use of the metaphoric process is due to historical and cultural practices. Based on the theoric controversy between Hegel's and Plato's points of view on art's philosophy, the author concludes that the notions of "performance in the stage" and "performance in life" are sintetized under the continuous dialectic movement of history and culture.

TL;DR: The idea of the intervention of the State in the economy does not mean a destruction of private property nor of the value law and of profit, it only attests to its survival and seeks to ensure its implementation as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The present text constitutes a summary of a talk given by the author at the III Conferencia Brasileira de Educacao (Niteroi, October 1984). It is here claimed that there is a need to discuss the roots of the idea of rights of the individual and of its link, in Locke's founding thought, with property and, moreover, with the freedom and autonomy of the human person. Furthermore, a discussion is made of the liberal-rationalist assumption of the optimum allocation of social resources through the clash and combination of private interests. A twofold crisis of our times: crisis of the view of a self-regulated Laplacean universe (and its science: the mechanical or substancial determinism) and the crisis of the belief in the optimum allocation via market. The idea of the intervention of the State in the economy does not mean a destruction of private property nor of the value law and of profit. It only attests to its survival and seeks to ensure its implementation. Can't the idea of education be analogously thought of as a social right guaranteed and allocated by the State; as an investment in "human capital"? What is the meaning of the expression "educational policy"?
