It is argued that the degradation of modern conceptions of politics stems from the rupture with the transcendent, expressed in Gnosticism and positivism, which reduce political science to immanentist methodologies. Voegelin proposes the restoration of the classical "episteme politike," where representation is understood in three strata (elementary, existential, and transcendental), mediated by the authentic symbol. This research demonstrates that the reconnection with the symbolic dimension – expressed in societies' self-interpretation as a cosmion – is fundamental to re-establishing a legitimate political order. It is concluded that representation, in its transcendental form, reconciles the human with the divine, overcoming totalizing ideologies through a philosophical education that rescues metaphysics, centered on the experience of the sacred.

It seeks to understand if the teaching of philosophy as the creation of concepts can get over the model of teaching as transmission of contents, through the approach of the workshop of concepts of the Brazilian author. It dialogues with the theory of Deleuze-Guattari, who originally theorized philosophy as the invention of concepts, and with authors working, directly or indirectly, on the limitations of Gallo’s theory.The work is divided into three main chapters. The first presents a theoretical review of the concept of philosophy as the creation of concepts and its political implications. The second explores philosophy teaching through a perspective influenced by Sílvio Gallo, presenting various topics he addresses, culminating in his methodological proposal of the concept workshop. The third chapter investigates, through different authors’ works, the current configuration of philosophy teaching in Brazil, addressing the challenges and limitations that Gallo’s work can find. From this point of view, the dissertation concludes that, in spite of various benefits and merits that constitute it, Gallo’s workshop shows to have limitations in theoretical consistency, especially the absence of a clear articulation between its political and educational dimensions, which could generate setbacks in the attempt to overcome teaching as transmission at the high school level.

It proceeds from the hypothesis that the Benjaminian epistemology is grounded in a dual and inseparable aesthetic-linguistic premise, according to which historical knowledge emerges from the correlation between sensory apprehension (aesthetics) and interpretative understanding (language). The investigation is developed along three main axes: 1) the expansion of the concept of aesthetics beyond the philosophy of art, situating it as a cognitive dimension of sensory experience in the modern metropolis; 2) the formulation of a Benjaminian philosophy of language that articulates semantics, pragmatics, and materialist hermeneutics; and 3) the immanent analysis of “Convolute N” where this dual foundation is consolidated as the basis of the historical materialist method. In its conclusion, the study critically situates Benjamin’s contribution within the 20th-century epistemological landscape, establishing a brief critical dialogue with three paradigms – the paradigm of consciousness, logical positivism, and orthodox materialism – re-evaluated through the aesthetic-linguistic prism, culminating in the formulation of the “philological historical materialism” as a theoretical synthesis that integrates historicity, language, and sensibility. It concludes that the epistemological turn operated by Benjamin – by decentralizing the transcendental subject and rooting knowledge in sensible-linguistic material objectivity – offers an original paradigm for understanding both the 19th-century modernity and the cognitive impasses of the contemporary world.

Faced with this feature, the presente study adresses the problem of how it is possible to know the diferente hypostases, given that knowledge is defined as knowledge of causes, while the first cause itself is unknowable. Drawing on the selected theoretical framawork, the work unfolds over six chapters. The first explores Proclus’interpretation of Plato’s Parmenides, highlighting both differences and similarities, and showing how the Diadoch’s system takes shape from a logical dialogue. The second chapter deepens the central problema by examining the imparticipable and unknowable dimensions of the first cause, as well as the posible ways of speaking about and apprehending it. The chapter three focus on the hypostases of the noûs and the soul, outlining their fundamental categories, since upon them rest the essential modes of human being and knowing. In chapter, Proclus’system is presented as a network of relations grounded in the movement of procession. The four chapter turns to matter, treated as the final term of the Proclean system, and considers how it relates to the other hypostases, showing that it, too, is integrated into the movement os procession and thus has a share in the One. The fifth chapter adresses the types of apprehension of reality, emphasizing that knowledge constitutes a specific modes of apprehension linked to human participation in the soul and noûs. Finally, the sixth chapter examines the nature of the human, demonstrating that humanity encompasses all the hypostases and mirrors the entire Proclean system. By likeness, then, the human being is capable of knowing every hypostasis. In concludes that knowledge is indeed posible for human beings, precisely because of their likeness to each of the system’s hypostases.
