DELFINO, Jair. Ifá e Odús: interdisciplinaridade, lógica binária, cultura e filosofia africana. 2016. 106f. – Dissertação (Mestrado) – Universidade Federal do Ceará, Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação Brasileira, Fortaleza (CE), 2016. / Submitted by Márcia Araújo (marcia_m_bezerra@yahoo.com.br) on 2016-04-26T11:27:11Z No. of bitstreams: 1 2016_dis_jdelfino.pdf: 4763014 bytes, checksum: 4dd053fbbc1d1fc95331c06e51401d3b (MD5) / Approved for entry into archive by Márcia Araújo (marcia_m_bezerra@yahoo.com.br) on 2016-04-26T16:57:00Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 1 2016_dis_jdelfino.pdf: 4763014 bytes, checksum: 4dd053fbbc1d1fc95331c06e51401d3b (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-26T16:57:00Z (GMT).

Ifa is a literary and philosophical body, which descends from a deity between two worlds understood as the physical and the spiritual. The systematization of Ifa representations work questions on binary algebra and organization of Ifa meanings was the purpose of the idealized research. The importance of this issue is to examine specific knowledge of a culture and tradition that has the educational process orality and the preservation of interdisciplinary culture. We add our proposal for the systematic examination of the concepts and propositions of life that includes developing the collectivity and individuality in learning and understanding through the exercise of philosophical virtues, specific thinking Yoruba, starting from the design of nature and divine genealogy of creation within the African tradition inherited from Ancient Egypt. Ifa is cultural diversity that can be science, religion and sociability. We bring to this body of work beyond what has already been explained geometry, aesthetics and medicine within the inter-relational aspect to show as is the absorption of knowledge. We intend to stay away from the universalistic, Eurocentric theoretical basis seeking the deepening of African philosophy and interdisciplinarity to contemplate the cultural and ethnic-Brazilian aspects as well as being in accordance with Law No. 10,639 / 03. Thus, based on orality present in religions of African origin, and through the literary body of Ifá, embark on the complexity of reason and metaphysics and timeless logic to understand cognition in the aspect of institutiva worldview values and principles. / Dentro dos estudos de história e cultura africana e afrodescendente a presente dissertação faz uma inserção inovadora dentro da tradição do Ifá. O Ifá é um corpo literário e filosófico, que descende de uma divindade entre dois mundos entendidos como o físico e o espiritual. As sistematizações das representações do Ifá trabalham as questões sobre álgebra binária e a organização dos significados do Ifá foi o objetivo da pesquisa idealizada. A importância deste tema está em examinar conhecimentos específicos de uma cultura e tradição que tem como processo educativo a oralidade e a preservação da cultura interdisciplinar. Adicionamos à nossa proposta o exame sistemático dos conceitos e proposições de vida que abrange desenvolver a coletividade e individualidade, no aprender e entender através do exercício das virtudes filosóficas, específicas do pensar yorubá, partindo da concepção da natureza e da genealogia divina da criação dentro da tradição africana herdada do Antigo Egito. Ifá é pluralidade cultural que pode ser ciência, religião e sociabilidade. Além do que já foi explanado, trazemos para este corpo de trabalho a geometria, estética e medicina dentro do aspecto inter-relacional, a fim de mostrar como acontece a absorção de conhecimentos. Pretendemos ficar distantes da base teórica universalista e eurocentrista buscando o aprofundamento da filosofia africana e a interdisciplinaridade para contemplar os aspectos culturais e étnico-brasileiros bem como estar de acordo com a Lei n° 10.639/03. Assim, com base na oralidade presente nas religiões de matriz africana e, através do corpo literário do Ifá, embarcaremos na complexidade da razão e da lógica metafísica e atemporal para entendermos a cognição no aspecto da cosmovisão institutiva de valores e princípios.

在知識經濟之社會，多元思維逐漸取代傳統二元邏輯的思考與分析方法。過去使用單一數值的樣本來計算中位數的方法，已漸不符現今複雜多變的智慧科技時代之需求。尤其是在具有多變性、不確定性、與訊息不完整性的財金與經濟環境下，過分強調對於數值之運算及數學假設的前提，反而更容易造成與現實環境及條件的背離、甚至是脫節。故在進行財金與經濟方面問題的研究時，利用隸屬度函數與模糊統計的分析將會是一種較為進步的測度方法。本文在此提出模糊中位數的分析理論，並將其應用於財務金融的分析測度上，期望能對複雜的財金經濟現狀提供一套更有效且精確合理的分析方法。 / In the society of economic knowledge, Multi-valued logic goes to replace binary logic gradually. In the traditional way, we usually ask the task-taker to response the answer according to the thinking of binary logic. But such kind of response is improper since the human thinking is fuzzy and uncertain. So it should be an improved measurement using membership functions and fuzzy statistics. 　　In this paper, we will propose the definition of fuzzy median, and present some of its application. According to the above theoretical contents, we give some examples, which is used frequently in financial and economic assessment. From the explanation and discussion of fuzzy median in these examples, we can recognize that fuzzy statistics is more meaningful and proper for research of finance and economics. At last, based upon the findings of this study, certain recommendations for further research are suggested.

The object of this study is good governance, the context for its consideration is the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), and the disciplinary perspective from which it is considered is Public Administration. Good governance is a conceptual problematique. It is multi-dimensional, value-laden, trans-contextual and nebulous. The question of what good governance means is a subject of contestation. Good governance is used in NEPAD as a principle without the attempt to clarify its meaning at the conceptual level. Much of the existing body of scholarship on NEPAD also considers good governance largely as a principle rather than a concept. This erroneously presupposes unanimity on its meaning. The African leadership is divided on what good governance means in the context of NEPAD. In this regard scholarship largely fails to provide an intellectual solution. The extent of complexity of the concept in the study lies in the fact that the context of its consideration [NEPAD] is itself a subject of contestation whereas the disciplinary perspective [Public Administration] from which it is considered has not yet reached a consensus with itself about its theoretical base. Against this background the question that the study asks is, what does the concept good governance in the context of NEPAD mean for Public Administration? The study examines this question to make a contribution towards a better insight into, and broadening of, the body of scientific knowledge by engaging in conceptual, theoretical and philosophical studies to understand good governance in the context of NEPAD and determine its meaning for Public Administration. The study finds that the paradigm of engagement in the existing body of literature is framed in the binary logic, which is rooted in realist epistemology or positivism. This approach to scientific discourse is limited in dealing with complex conceptual, theoretical and philosophical questions. The study develops, as a contribution to science, an alternative epistemological framework from which good governance in the context of NEPAD could be understood. Such epistemological framework is, for the purpose of this study, termed the contingent co-existence of opposites. It is used to conceptualise good governance in the context of NEPAD and determine its meaning for Public Administration. / Public Administration / D.Litt. et Phil. (Public Administration)
