The study investigates how students move between the Ticuna language and Portuguese throughout Lower and Upper Secondary Education, as well as the effects of this linguistic movement on school learning and the construction of Indigenous identities. The research adopts a qualitative approach of an ethnographic and interpretive nature, employing different methodological procedures such as classroom observation, structured and semi-structured interviews with students and Indigenous school staff, analysis of textual productions, and records of everyday school life. Data analysis is guided by an intercultural perspective that considers the linguistic, cultural, identityrelated, and pedagogical dimensions of bilingualism as experienced in the Indigenous school. The results show that the Ticuna language occupies a central position as a language of belonging, affectivity, and cognitive mediation, being essential for understanding school content and for students’ participation in educational practices. Portuguese, in turn, is predominantly experienced as the language of formal schooling, associated with writing, assessment, and institutional demands, and thus emerges as a recurring source of difficulties, especially in the final years of schooling. In this context, students develop their own learning strategies, such as code-switching, cultural translation, and peer support, revealing bilingualism not as an obstacle but as a pedagogical and identity-related resource. The study also highlights the role of Indigenous teachers and school administrators as intercultural mediators, whose work articulates school knowledge and traditional knowledge, contributing to the construction of culturally situated pedagogical practices. It concludes that the teaching of Portuguese in Indigenous contexts should be understood as a process of intercultural mediation, grounded in the appreciation of the mother tongue and in the development of bilingual methodologies that recognize linguistic plurality as a foundation of Indigenous school education.

I name it that way because of its basic characteristic: it is knowledge about what makes something possible, not probable or necessary. Its form of law is the “Possibilist Law”, a type of scientific law that provides that, in the absence of a necessary condition N, event E is not possible. Its form of scientific explanation is the "Possibilist Explanation", which explains an event showing how, in fact, it was epistemically possible, rather than why it would be epistemically necessary. Its explanandum is the epistemic possibility of a real event previously considered epistemically impossible. To define PE, the new concept of the permissive condition is also introduced. Possibilist laws and explanations are legitimate and neglected parts of scientific knowledge and are especially suitable for the humanities. They are part of the answer to the longed-for scientificity of the humanities and the compatibility between modern science and the idea of free will.

However, emphasizing the concepts and practices related to this treatment without considering the perspective of oikeiosis may lead the Stoic to adopt an attitude of contempt for their own life and the lives of others. To avoid this issue and to present a more balanced view of Epictetus’ philosophy on death, this work will begin by exploring the Stoic understanding of the passions, examining how they arise and the harm they cause to those who pursue philosophy. In the second part, we will examine Epictetus’ approach to treating passions in general, and fear in particular. We will see, however, that if this treatment focuses solely on the aspect of human rationality, it may lead the Stoic to disregard life. Finally, we will understand how oikeiosis offers a response to this problem by grounding both self-care and care for others.

When they were not murdered (exterminated), they were treated as savages, unaware of their own existence and deprived of any knowledge, unfolding consequences that remain until the present days. This essay aims at presenting an amendment that the decolonial philosophy can establish over the strength philosophy by philosophically facing an epistemology based on the idea of the individual, the decolonial thought presents a strength philosophy that, instead of setting apart men in anonymous individuals, it connects them in a community in which the collective strength benefits from the individual one.
