New arrivals in the Library
(Books edited abroad purchased, exchange or donated)
The Silva Dias Library initiated in 2007 the incorporation of the collection of the former Library of the Department of Philosophy. The first four books briefly presented bellow represent some of the most significant titles already catalogued.
This classic compilation, first edited in 1956, gathers some of the philosopher’s most important essays related to the fields of logic and theory of knowledge. Robert C. March’s editing work, closely followed by Bertrand Russell, had the merit of facilitating a number of valuable texts before known only by a few, due to their dispersion in academic periodicals. Its significance reflects in the number of reprints made ever since.
Table of
contents: Preface – p. V // 1901 The Logic of Relations –
p. 1 // 1905 On Denoting – p. 39 // 1908 Mathematical Logic as
based on the Theory of Types – p. 57 // 1911 On the Relations
of Universals and Particulars – p. 103 // 1914 On the Nature of
Acquaintance – p. 125 // 1918 The Philosophy of Logical Atomism

mean – p. 283 // 1924 Logical Atomism – p. 321 // 1936 On

In this work of 1949, Gilbert Ryle, one of the most important members of the “philosophy of ordinary language”, rejects the Cartesian dualism and asserts that the physical and mental processes are inseparable. Recently, some post-cognitivist psychologists have rediscovered Ryle’s theses. The book has a Portuguese translation by Maria Luísa Nunes, O conceito de espírito : introdução à psicologia (1970).

OWork of one of the most important American members, in the 20th Century, of the analytical philosophy current. Quine was several times a guess of our University, due to the invitation of IFL (Instituto de Filosofia da Linguagem). According to the author, the essays in this collection commune in two themes: “One is the problem of meaning, particularly as involved in the notion of an analytic statement. The other is the notion of ontological commitment, particularly as involved in the problem of universals.”.
Table of contents: I. On what there is – p. 1
// II. Two dogmas of empiricism – p. 20 // III. The problem of
meaning in linguistics – p. 47 // IV. Identity, ostentation, and
hypostasis – p. 65 // V. New foundations for mathematical logic

This fundamental work about nationalism has two Portuguese translations, S. Paulo, Ática, 1989 e Lisbon, Edições 70, 2005 (the latest quite appreciated by the author), respecting the 1st and 2nd English editions. In the present edition, Anderson adds a chapter, precisely dedicated to the reception and publishing history of Imagined communities, paying a special attention to the motivations behind the publishing decisions as well as the translation options. With this study, the author searches an explanation to the much-unexpected success of the book and ends up demonstrating the exemplarity of its publishing path, regarding local initiative, to the “piracy” thesis with which he explains the rapid planetary diffusion, with local adaptations, of nationalism.

The present title gathers three Chatterjees’ books concerning the Indian state-nation. Nationalist thought and the colonial world (1986) is a reflexion about its “ideological history” from the conception to the creation of the Indian state, being the book conceived as a journey. The nation and its fragments (1993), uses several interventions (conferences and lectures) about the construction of the post-colonial Indian nation, departing, to contest it, from the discussion of Benedict Anderson’s, Imagined communities. The present texts show the concerns behind Chatterjee’s initiative to create the “subaltern studies group” in the 1980’s, destined to give voice to the multiple Indian minorities, contesting the hegemonic nationalist bourgeois historiography. A possible Índia (1997), assumingly the most political of the three books, is presented as a diary, using of a group of articles written in date with important events of the Indian history from the 1970’s to the 1990’s. As Chatterjee explains in the Preface, the articles share the concern for the democratic politics, departing from an idea of democracy not as the “govern of the people” but as “politics of the governed” (“Preface” A possible Índia).

In this work Sardar draws the history of Orientalism, from Middle Ages to our times, with special focuses in the history of the Ocidental vision of Islam. By underlining artificial character, without adherence to reality, of Orientalism, Sardar tries to demonstrate that being non-knowledge it can never serve any project of understanding of the East by the West. In his view, the alternative lays in the mind openness to the thoughts and sentiments of the people concerning its identity, culture and history. The author reflects, also, on the debate around Orientalism, detaining in the work of Edward Said, to consider it, ultimately, as a product of the same secular and Eurocentric culture that has fed the orientalist views.
Table of contents: Preface – p. VII // 1. The
concept of orientalism – p. 1 // 2. A short history – p.
13 // 3. Theory and criticism – p. 54 // 4. The contemporary practice

The present work of this Economy Noble Prize, whose education was decisively marked by the years spent in the eclectic and cosmopolite environment Shantiniketan, reflects his concerns with the different aspects of the problem of identity, in the present case of the Indian identity. In a series of essays, Amartya Sen defends the long argumentative, rationalist and sceptic Indian tradition coherent with the dialogic and pluralistic spirit present in its main philosophical-religious schools as well as in the important Indian contributions to the history of sciences. The author underlines, as well, multicultural reality and openness to external influences to be fundamental to any reflection about Indian identity. The developed theses contradict the image constructed by Orientalism / Indianism, which he feels many Indian largely incorporated, of a spiritual and mystic culture in its essence. They contradict also the Hindu fundamentalist doctrines, as well as certain post-colonial reflexion that purchases cultural purism. Already in 2006, Sen published Identity and violence universalizing some of the concerns and arguments presented in the book.

Communicating ethnic & cultural identity…
This didactic volume, although concentrated upon the American reality, contains a theoretical part that amplifies its interest to all students and academics concerned with the problems of identity in contemporary societies, increasingly marked by the reality of multiculturalism and by the sequent cultural intercommunication.
