Abstract

MANO, Daniel. Conexões com o mundo: verdade e representação na teoria política contemporânea. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2023, n.122, pp.158-169.  Epub Sep 23, 2023. ISSN 1853-3523.

The general goal of this essay is to investigate the links between theories of knowledge and politics, or, more specifically, to indicate the general features of politi-cal theories based on representations, images and tropes rather than on dogmas such as those of objective reality and self-evident truths of reason, which mark the development of Western political theory and practice. While a considerable portion of the reflection on images and representations produced in the twentieth century has focused on aspects re-lated to the arts, as attested by the works of philosophers such as Arthur Danto and Nelson Goodman, this article seeks to explore the latent implications of the “pictorial turn” estab-lished in various spheres of life throughout the century on contemporary political theory.

Keywords : Pictorial turn; Skepticism; Relativism..
