Three moments are decisive in the constitution of Political Philosophy: the one that Moses Finley called "the invention of politics" to refer to the birth of Greek democracy and Roman republic; the one defined by Machiavelli through the original division of society between the desire of the Great to oppress and command and that of the People to be neither oppressed nor commanded; and that…
The project deals with the elaboration of the relations between nature and history in seventeenth-century philosophy, seeking not only the concepts of the period but also their renaissance sources, as well as the critiques and reformulations of the concepts in later philosophy, particularly in the French enlightenment and German idealism, and in such contemporary philosophers as Nietzsche…
The project examines a theme which has concerned researchers on seventeenth-century thought for some time: the relation between experience and reason in the formulation of Philosophy and Modern Science. Therefore, the project will be organizes in three main directions: 1) an epistemic direction, in which we reject the traditional distinction between empiricism and rationalism in classical…
The overall goal of this research is to understand the role of ideas and their diffusion within society, using as guides two fundamental authors: Marx and Spinoza. In particular, we seek to understand the concepts of ideology and criticism in Marx, emphasizing how the ideological and critical content of ideology influence society. Similarly, we seek to understand the content and relevance…
The objective of our research is to fulfill a study of the relationship between Bergson and Spinoza that seeks to sympathize with what would be, to use Bergson's expression, the profound intuition of each of these. This aim follows the conception of Philosophy proposed by Bergson, which means that, first of all, we intend to study this conception itself and then, as a deepening, the sense…
Imagination, for Spinoza, is both a kind of knowledge and the origin of false ideas and fictional ideas. This double capacity of imagination to know and to feign is epistemically problematic because imagining does not necessarily imply in knowing nor in fantasizing. If, on the one hand, imagination alone does not offer a criterion according to which one can distinguish between a true idea…
This research will contextualize the critique of political econonomy held by Deleuze with Guattari, inserting it into the Deleuzian philosophical project in order to demonstrate the importance of the capitalism critique within the constitution of a renewed notion of Philosophy. Deleuze combines social criticism and a critical and creative reading of Philosophy's history to build a renewed…

This is to investigate the hypothesis that the notion of « care of the self » must be understood in close relation with two other notions that gain decisive importance in the last phase of Foucault's thinking, that is, the notion of « government » and the notion of « subjectivity ». In reading the problem of the « care of the self » as an unfolding of the latter two notions, it seems to u…
We aim to understand Claude Lefort's vision of the relations between democracy and capitalism in his later writings, published in the years 1990-2000, in order to situate his position in the current debate on the threats to contemporary democratic life. Given that the Lefortian conception of democracy was elaborated in the 1970s from and against totalitarian experience and, at the same ti…
The general objective of this research is to establish a continuity between the individual work of Deleuze and Guattari (before 1972) and the works that the authors wrote together, especially Capitalism and schizophrenia I and II or Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus. In Guattari we can find the criticism that gave rise to the relationship between desire and social that will be elaborat…
