This article deals with an object of the History of Philosophy. As such, it aims to analyze the the literary correlations of the texts of Timaeus 71E - 72B, Symposium 202E – 203A and Phaedrus 244A-244E regarding Corpus Hermeticum 12.19, in order to find supposed sources conformed with the hermetic text, and know how they were re-worked in it. So, it looks to ask after the origin, history, meaning and application of motifs that happen in the compared texts, including the Corpus Hermeticum 12.19, scrutinizing the religious-historical correlations in order to find comparable traditive nexus of the contemporary religious-philosophical world (middle-Platonism) of the Corpus Hermeticum 12.19. In particular, this article demonstrates that Corpus Hermeticum 12.19 describes the divinatory arts or mentic arts (μαντιϰή or μαντεία) through the inspiration, haruspex, augur (auspex). It is possible to glimpse the theme of the communication between God and the man through the mantic arts. At last, the present article, based on the Hellenistic approach, puts forward that Corpus Hermeticum 12.19 has Platonic influence.

The aim of this paper is to discuss the importance of children's literature in the early grades of elementary school. Taking as the object of analysis our practices while fellows of the Initiation Teaching Program (PIBID), where we develop different activities different than children experience routinely at school, using as resource main the story telling, without taking the literature with didactic or pedagogical function, but valorizing the aesthetic and creative possibilities of that language. For the theoretical foundation, we support in Soares (1999), Bettelheim (1996), Lajolo and Zilberman (2004), Abromovich (1993) and Aguiar (2001), among other reference texts. The study is justified by the fact that the classes with differentiated methodologies hold the gaze of the student, and to work the literature with children, enhancing the taste and the pleasure of reading by encouraging their expressions, opinions, construction and reconstruction of ideas, become the classes more significants for the class.

The present study is based on the relationship between philosophy and literature with Nietzsche and Kafka as the main authors studied. The central question of this study is how to comprehend some of Nietzsche's philosophy in Kafka's literary pieces? In this way, the goal is to analyze a potential reading of the concepts will of power and nihilism. The text's proposal develops in two moments: characterizing Nietzsche's philosophy with the will of power and nihilism concepts as main points of the books considered as "mature" written by this author and presenting Kafka's piece Carta ao pai as an alternative to overcome nihilism with the main starting point being the relationship between will of power and art characterized by a determined period in Nietzsche's philosophy as active nihilism. Thus, the text primes at developing not just a descriptive analysis through bibliographic research focusing on the cited manuscripts, but also searching fundaments to arguments made by some commentators of both authors in specific points.

The connection between art and sublime, at first sight, sounds like a certainty, but throughout the 18th century some theories separated this category from the several art forms. Those were the decades in which the matters on the sublime were notably fruitful, times where not only the sublime earns its title as an aesthetic category, but also outstandingly takes part on the epistemological debates at the time where the term Aesthetics were just recently coined. It is in this scenery that some thinkers were especially worried about the natural sublime only. This article intends to show the path travelled by this concept from the 1st century, with Longinus' literature treaty Peri Hypsos, translated by Boileau-Despréaux as Du Sublime to its reception by the English in 1689. From that reception on, the text goes through philosophers such as Joseph Addison, Edmund Burke and Immanuel Kant, who developed the natural sublime theory, arriving to the reinsertion of the tragedy in this category by Friedrich Schiller. Thus, what we call here "the cycle of the natural sublime", which originated in literary production and moved away from it with the Empiricism and the Transcendental Idealism, comes back again within the sphere of literature in the German poet's work.
