As reflexões das teorias da verdade colocam em evi-dência a seguinte questão de interesse no ambiente filosófico, científico e ló-gico: "O que é a verdade?". Esta tradição é bem longa, com reflexões que remontam à Antiguidade e ainda hoje são bastante pertinentes no mundo acadêmico, como podemos observar pela recente literatura sobre o assunto. Aristóteles foi um precursor desta busca ao propor que a verdade pode-ria ser caracterizada segundo sua máxima: "Dizer do que é, que ele não é, ou do que não é, que ele é, é falso; enquanto dizer do que é, que ele é, ou do que não é, que ele não é, é verdadeiro". Posteriormente, essa questão referente à verdade foi minuciosamente tratada por muitos autores, que elaboraram teorias e/ou buscaram princípios para determinar o que é verdade ou o que torna algo verdadeiro (critério de verdade). Entre as teorias da verdade usualmente discu-tidas encontramos as teorias correspondencial, coerencial, pragmática, da re-dundância e a concepção semântica de Tarski. Dedicaremos um capítulo inicial a estas teorias da verdade, quando elencamos as suas características essenciais. Recentemente, a teoria da qua-se verdade tem conquistado importância nas reflexões sobre a verdade, que tem como um precursor o professor Newton da Costa, expoente brasileiro no âmbito da Lógica. Em 1986, Mikenberg, da Costa e Chuaqui introduziram a teoria da quase verdade no ...

Reflections of theories of truth put in evidence questions of interest in the philosophical, scientific and logical environment: "What is the truth?". This tradition is very long, with reflections that go back to antiquity and are still very relevant in the academic world, as can be seen by the recent litera-ture about this issue. Aristotle was a precursor of this search by proposing that the truth could be characterized according to their maximum: "To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true". Posteriorly, this question of the truth was carefully treated by many authors who have developed theories and/or principles to de-termine what is true or what makes something true (criteria of truth). Among the theories of truth usually discussed, we find the theories: correspondence, co-herence, pragmatic, redundancy and semantic conception of Tarski. We dedicate an initial chapter to these theories of truth, when we list their essential characteristics. Recently, the theory of quasi-truth has gained importance in the reflections about the truth, which has as a precursor Profes-sor Newton da Costa, Brazilian exponent in the context of Logic. In 1986, Mikenberg, Costa and Chuaqui introduced the theory of quasi-truth in the arti-cle Pragmatic truth and approximation to truth, p... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

The purpose of this study was to make an appraisal of the educational philosophies, pragmatism and essentialism, and their effects upon the aims, methods, and curriculum of education. No effective effort was made to branch off into the many philosophical ramifications of the question, but the practical aspects of each philosophy were studied in order to determine how it has influenced education.
