Social philosophy takes care of three tasks: the conceptual idea about an institution, how it functions and how it accomplish. In this sense, a challenge to social philosophy, from the point of view of critical-normative research, is to think of the social institution not only as the backbone of society, but, above all, to link it with the social-ontological argument with emancipatory approach; in other words, how a social institution how to deal with its task of promoting social goods and social rights. I intend to explain the philosophical-social requirement of the social-ontological argument in the discussion of critical-normative research taking into account that, at first, the social institution is understand itself as a medium to emancipation and, secondly, this institution stem from a detranscendental reason conception and this refer to a new way to think the social philosophy inside in the historical background of ours social communities.

The aim of the present paper is to analyze the conception of science of Popper resorting to the metaphor with the game of chess that he uses in his work The logic of scientific research. We consider that by means of this metaphor it is possible to perceive that its conception of science is not reduced to the logical criterion of falsifiability as many of its critics let us envisage, nor even to define methodological rules to guide the practice of science. But the philosopher himself in establishing such analogy makes it clear the existence os rules is what science has in common with the game of chess. In our view, these rules, as well as the scientific criterion, are not sufficient to define the scientific practice, since it involves other elements such as: values, objectives, scientific community and context in which the research is carried out. Popper assumes these elements in his metaphor, but does not make them explicit. It is only in later works such as Conjectures and Refutations and The Open Society and Its Enemies that they are clearly defined. We, therefore, intend to bring to light those elements involved in the game of science in Popper in order to give greater clarity to his conception of what science is.

Eric Weil's modern society is characterized among other things by its conception of science. Both based on the principle of effective calculation, the understanding of its functioning and its limitations go together. Thus, analyzing modern society contemplates a discussion of the instance that functions as its self-consciousness: the conception of science that is its own, the social sciences, whose model is the science of nature. Modern science and society are understood within the scope of the Weil's category of condition. Here there is no appeal to an unconditioned principle. Therefore, the question of sense can not be made. However, it is not a question of renouncing the achievements of modern science. In Weil's view, however, it must be recognized that the question of sense can be properly made. This is because it must be put through philosophy. Our objective in the present paper is to discuss the relationship between modern society, modern science and sense. This is because if there is a science of an efficacius society there is also a science of sense: this is philosophy.

Conceptual overview that places the importance of knowledge as an element of reality school for institutional reorganization and evaluation as a subsidy for this reflection and action for reorganization. Located public policies in different contexts highlighting the practice as the locus of insubordination bureaucratic processes which emerge in a counter-regulation to the extent that articulate the efforts of different actors of the educational scene.

In the nineteenth century, the utilitarian theorists wanted the reform of society by adopting the principle of "the greatest happiness for the greatest numbers" (principle of utility), as proposed by Jeremy Bentham, form which also advocated education as one of the means to achieve these social changes. In this article we attempt to reconstruct central assumptions of Bentham´s theory expressed in his texts, namely A fragment on the government, Introduction to the principles of morals and legislation and Panopticon, which culminate in the educational project signaled in Chrestomathia. The methodology consists in historiographical review. The results and conclusions indicate that Bentham´s educational project of has not been sufficiently considered by later authors despite their influence.

O artigo analisa o fenômeno da abolição da escravidão no Brasil a partir de uma sociologia política relacional. De um lado, o abolicionismo é analisado como parte de uma dinâmica que envolvia instituições políticas, espaço público e clandestinidade, arenas nas quais se travou o jogo entre movimento, Estado e contramovimento escravista. De outro lado, a análise insere o movimento em seu contexto internacional, apontando a apropriação do repertório de experiências abolicionistas estrangeiras por ativistas brasileiros. O objetivo é evidenciar a modernidade e a relevância do movimento abolicionista nacional para o processo político de abolição da escravidão.

The objective of this article is to reflect the current conformation of Brazilian Social Security which permits the universalization of the same. Based on the protected and unprotected social concepts adopted by the National Council of Social Welfare (CNP), which reflects on the scope on social security to the socially unprotected. This is an exploratory study conducted by a normative framework of social security in Brazil. It is concluded that such concepts lead to an understanding of social protection where there is a complementary relation between the right to social security and social assistance without the possibily of universalization of this protection. The universalization requires not only inseparability and complementarity between the two polices – as well as the political, economic and social polices where work and the guarantee of social reproduction of individuals be taken as citizenships rights.

From the point of view of critical theory and social criticismo the idea of ​​progress seems to be established in an ambivalence: on the one hand, the postulates of Amy Alllen started an "Aufklärung" of the conception of progress ( which I call the "negative" conception) and its possible unfolding to a critical theory as well as for social criticismo; in contrast, the conception of progress can be understood as a "positive way" in which it is guided by the constitutive scope of a critical theory by embodying, for example, the social justice as a social-normative medium to the process of emancipation. Taking into account the aforementioned assertions, I will take up, in this research, the core of the conception of progress in Amy Allen (1) in order to interpose a "positive" idea. In this sense, I will take as a social-institutional and empirical reference the public policy of the 'Mais IDH' social program (More HDI), which is constituted both as a response to the concept of progress in Amy Allen and as a possible condition for the realization of social justice (understood as the minimum conditions of existence) (2).
