Resumo: | Metametaphysics is the study regarding the foundations and the methodology of Metaphysics. We’ll analyze in this paper three methodologies that established the origins of Metametaphysics in the Analytic Tradition: that of Alexius Meinong, Rudolf Carnap and Willard van Orman Quine. According to Meinong, there is a distinction between ‘to exist’ and ‘there is’ and, in order to preserve the intuition that every intentional act is directed towards an object, there are things that do not exist. According to Carnap, the questions in Metaphysics can be easily answered by empirical or inferential means once we adopt a linguistic framework and answer these questions internally to this framework. Quine argued that to take an entity as existing is to take it as the value of a bound variable. Metametaphysics is relevant because it disambiguates our vocabulary and makes the philosophers avoid verbal disputes. Our objective in this paper was not to show our preferences to one of these methodologies but to provide a starting point for those who are not familiar with these matters — just so other researchers may engage with the issues that belong to Metametaphysics. |

Analisaremos neste artigo três metodologias que marcaram as origens da Metametafísica na Tradição Analítica: a de Alexius Meinong, Rudolf Carnap e Willard van Orman Quine. De acordo com Meinong, há uma distinção entre ‘existir’ e ‘haver’ e, para preservar a intuição de que todo ato intencional é direcionado a um objeto, há coisas que não existem. Segundo Carnap, as perguntas em Metafísica podem ser facilmente respondidas por meios empíricos ou inferenciais, desde que adotemos um sistema de referência linguístico (framework) e respondamos às questões internamente a esse framework. Já Quine argumentou que tomar uma entidade com sendo existente é tomá-la como o valor de uma variável ligada. A Metametafísica é relevante porque desambigua o nosso vocabulário e evita que os filósofos e filósofas se envolvam em meras disputas verbais. O nosso objetivo neste artigo não foi explicitar a nossa predileção por alguma dessas metodologias, mas fornecer um ponto de partida para os que não estão familiarizados com essas discussões — de modo que outros pesquisadores e pesquisadoras se engajem com as questões pertencentes à Metametafísica.Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2021-06-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/233610.31977/grirfi.v21i2.2336Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 21 n. 2 (2021); 237-2552178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/2336/1330Copyright (c) 2021 Italo Lins Lemos, Cristian Kraemerhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLins Lemos, ItaloKraemer, Cristian2021-06-11T13:38:26Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/2336Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2021-06-11T13:38:26Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false |
