The research is based on the reflections of authors such as Juliana Pacheco, Maria Luísa Ribeiro, and especially Nísia Floresta, seeking to understand how female intellectual production has been silenced throughout history and the impacts of this exclusion on academic and social contexts. The guiding problem of this study is to understand why women, especially Indigenous women, are still rarely recognized as subjects of knowledge and decision-making, despite their fundamental role in the organization and continuity of their communities. The methodology adopted is bibliographic in nature, grounded in the analysis of philosophical works and contemporary studies that address gender, philosophy, and the condition of Indigenous women. The findings indicate that female exclusion is not restricted to the past but remains present in current social and cultural structures, reinforcing inequalities and practices of silencing. In this context, the thought of Nísia Floresta offers a significant contribution by defending the rational equality between men and women and emphasizing education as a tool for emancipation. It is concluded that valuing women as thinking and active subjects is essential for the construction of a more just and egalitarian society. By highlighting the reality of Indigenous women within their communities, this study seeks to contribute to the strengthening of their voices, recognizing their importance not only as guardians of culture but also as agents capable of transforming the way society thinks and acts.

Interestingly, these notions also have a long history of speculation in the Middle Ages. It was very common during scholasticism for explanations of the content of a thought to involve an appeal to its representational nature. However, the meaning of these notions was circumscribed to a specific context. This monograph aims to investigate the function that the notion of representation fulfilled in debates about the nature of the animal soul. We hypothesize that the postulates underlying the construction of this notion in scholasticism emerged from philosophical disputes about the extent of the animal soul's operations and the modes of apprehending knowledge, within an environment of adaptation and updating of Aristotle's theory of the soul. We propose to investigate (i) in what sense the notion of representation was crucial for explaining the cognitive operations of the animal soul and (ii) whether speculations about the functioning of the soul, in that context, altered its meaning. The attention given to the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas is motivated by the systematization and conceptual innovation that this debate adds through the postulates concerning the definition and description of the cognitive powers of the animal soul, the operations of the corresponding faculties, and the epistemological and teleological limitations imposed by substantial form.

The first part is dedicated to the systematization of the Zermelo-Fraenkel axiomatic system (ZFC), demonstrating how its structure is essential to avoid logical paradoxes, such as Russell's, and to allow the internalization of natural numbers as sets through the constructions of von Neumann and Zermelo. Subsequently, the research analyzes the challenge proposed by Paul Benacerraf, who uses the technical divergence between these models to expose the arbitrariness in identifying numbers with specific sets, which gives rise to the so-called "junk theorems". The study concludes, based on Benacerraf's thesis, that numbers do not possess a "substance" or internal constitution, and must be understood not as independent objects, but as relational positions within an abstract structure.

Elle a débuté par un aperçu historique du concept, remontant à la Poétique d'Aristote, où l'on trouve la première application de ce concept dans le domaine de l'esthétique. Pour Aristote, la catharsis et son effet purificateur se produisent par l'identification du spectateur à l'oeuvre d'art contemplée ; cette identification peut susciter chez l'individu des sentiments de compassion ou d'admiration. Plus tard, on retrouve la vision de Theodor Adorno, figure de l'École de Francfort, dans son ouvrage Théorie Esthétique, où la catharsis dépasse la simple identification à l'oeuvre ; elle doit révéler l'autonomie et la capacité critique de l'être humain. Ceci nous amène au champ phénoménologique, où seront explorées la perception de la catharsis et son effet purificateur le corps ressentant l'effet puis étant ressenti, ce qui suscite une réflexion sur le corps de l'artiste et sur l'oeuvre d'art, cette analyse s'appuie sur la Phénoménologie de la perception de Merleau-Ponty. En conclusion, le concept de catharsis se pare d'une nouvelle forme de purification au sein de la psychologie, limitée à la psychanalyse de Sigmund Freud, où il agit sur le psychisme individuel en engendrant la pulsion vitale dans l'être et dans la société. Purifiant la société, la catharsis devient le point culminant du phénomène artistique et de ce qui se manifeste avec lui et pour lui dans la construction d'un autre au monde.
