Aristotelica is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to Aristotle and Aristotelianism through the centuries with a special focus on the texts and textual traditions of Aristotle as a common intellectual background for European and Mediterranean cultures. Filling a substantial gap in existing academic journals, Aristotelica covers the works of Aristotle, with particular attention to his theoretical treatises, their textual constitution, and the entire exegetical tradition, and with an emphasis on philology as an appropriate scholarly approach to philosophical texts. The time span is from Aristotles contemporaries and Greek philosophical literature in Roman times, through the medieval period (Byzantine, Arabic, Latin) and Renaissance, going up to the twentieth century. The journal also considers submissions on the relevance of Aristotelianism to theoretical, epistemological, and ethical debates, as well as to fundamental questions about the establishment, definition, and development of ancient philosophy and science.Submissions, which can be very short or long (there is no word limit), and written in any of the main European languages, must meet the highest scholarly standards and be based on sound methodology. They should contribute significantly to the field by asking innovative questions and reaching well-argued and ground-breaking conclusions.Based on a cooperative agreement between the Universita del Piemonte Orientale and the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (ILIESICNR, Italy), Aristotelica will appear through two channels: Rosenberg & Sellier, a digital publisher with a strong profile in classics; and the ILIESICNR Open Journal System platform.

Neste livro pergunta-se sobre como confrontar, conscientizar, desconstruir e superar os mecanismos institucionais e culturais que desumanizam outra pessoa devido a cor da pele? Pretende-se com essas perguntas identificar as praticas racistas e traze-las a luz, desconstrui-las, supera-las. Nessa investigaço, adota-se o metodo dialetico porque a tese e o racismo, a antitese e a sua desconstruço. As novas percepçes so as sinteses propostas a sociedade brasileira sobre o que e o ser humano nas suas singularidades e diferenças. O racismo antinegro no Brasil tem uma raiz religiosa e "cientifica". As colunas do Cristianismo, Jesus e os apostolos, tiveram as suas feiçes transmutadas para europeus e o fiel vincula inconscientemente essas imagens que adora ao europeu e isso passa para as suas praticas cotidianas seletivas e preconceituosas. Quando essa tecnica de dominaço, propria da cristandade, foi abalada com o aparecimento do Estado Liberal, criou-se o racialismo eugenico como imposiço da suposta supremacia branca. As concluses so que pessoas justas devem estar atentas aos poderosos mecanismos estruturais e culturais de separaço das pessoas, precisam confrontar essas estrategias de dominaço burguesa e tornarem-se agentes da equidade etnica porque a especie humana e uma so.
