Resposta:

Prezada Professora Heloisa Pedroso,


Permita-me apresentar-me.Meu nome é Nildson Álvares Muniz,gostaria de ressaltar que também participei da III Conferência sobre Metáfora na Linguagem e no Pensamento,em outubro em Fortaleza,onde tive a oportunidade de assistir à sua palestra.É com prazer que entro em contato com a Senhora,pois gostaria de saber de sua possibilidade de orientação para um doutorado. Na  III Conferência apresentei meus estudos sobre metáfora no pensamento e na linguagem em Albert Einstein.Estou pensando em um projeto que trate de questões sobre imagem e semiótica na Percepção Cosmológica de Albert Einstein.Professora Heloisa gostaria de parabenizá-la pela clareza da temática apresentada. Sou graduado em Antropologia pela UNB-Universidade de Brasília,1990.Possuo mestrado em Sociologia e Ciências Sociais pela Université Lumiére-Lyon-II,Lyon,França. 
Professor Heloisa,entro em contato com a Senhora porque gos taria de apresentar-lhe minhas reflexões sobre Albert Einstein.E assim iniciarmos uma troca de conhecimentos sobre as relações entre linguagem,pensamento,metáforas,cientificidade e subjetividade na formulação do conceito de relatividade segundo Albert Einstein.  

De modo preliminar,permita-me apresentar-lhe as idéias principais e gerais,que penso poderiam ser a temática de uma proposta que venho desenvolvendo;e que penso poderiam ser discutidas sob sua orientação. Naturalmente,esta é uma apresentação  inicial e resumida para este primeiro contato;a qual poderia sofrer mudanças,observações e orientações suas. 

EINSTEIN:figurativização,metamorfose do espaço-tempo relativo e o problema da metáfora nos modos de apreensão da realidade.Tendo em mente discutir o conceito de relatividade tal como formulado por Einstein.Em linhas gerais,penso que poderiamos discutir a seguinte problemática.......:  

Inúmeras são as representações da Teoria da Relatividade segundo Albert Einstein nas diferentes ciências de 1919,quando Einstein apresentou uma inovadora concepção de Cosmologia com desdobramentos científicos surpreendentes ao Humano. Tomando as contribuições de principais teóricos da Filosofia,da Lingüística,da Semiótica e da Antropologia penso que poderíamos discutir EINSTEIN:figurativização e metamorfose do espaço-tempo relativo e o problema da metáfóra nos modos de apreensão da realidade.Discutir a inovadora experiência científica realizada na cidade cearense de Sobral em maio de 1919,como feito científico surpreendente considerado como a mais importante contribuição à Física Moderna, senão de todos os tempos. Sob essa perspectiva interdisciplinar objetivo apresentar que as indagações e confirmações realizadas na Física de Einstein,se não deslindam por completo o enigma da figurativização e metamorfose do espaço-tempo relativo,p elo menos apontam algumas balizas nesse campo bastante complexo,mas fascinante das relações homem-linguagem-mundo.Dentre essas balizas ressaltamos que o processo de compreensão dessa relação somente pode ser tropológico; e aqui penso que teríamos espaço para as contribuições da Semiótica e da Antrpologia;pois o que está envolvido na conversão do não-familiar em familiar é uma criação de metáforas que em geral é figurativo. 


Professor Heloisa, agradeço-lhe a atenção e fico no aguardo de seu contato.

Cordialmente,

Nildson Álvares Muniz

Dear Nildson

I am afraid I have to disappoint you – I cannot read (or speak) any Portuguese. So perhaps the best way forward is for you to send me any specific questions you have. I will try and see if I can find out a little more about the issues that interest you. It sounds like you have certainly had a difficult time, but it is good to see it hasn’t stopped you working and thinking.

All the best

Jeff

Dear Professor Jeff Malpas,

First of all, I want to thank you very much for your attention and your prompt answer to my e-mail.It was really a pleasure and a good surprise to read your e-mail.I must also say to you that Professor Ligia Saramago wasn't wrong about the kind words she said about you and about your kindness...Professor Malpas,unhappily,I must say to you that I haven't written anything in English or in any other language than my mother tongue....portuguese...Unhappily........Therefore, I would like to know if you can read portuguese,so I could send  you a portuguese version of my research project. It is a doctorship project which I presented to the Doctorship Program at the University Federal of Pernambuco,here in Brazil.I took part in 2005 Exam of the Doctorship Program,in Anthropology....But,unhappily I wasn't selected...the members of jury...a professor,member of the board said that my proposal was a bit epistemological.........

And to make things worse to me and in my life....in 2008,last year I got a car accident which caused me to stay at Hospital for 30 days.....completely.....unconscious.....And I don't remember now the word in English,but in portuguese and in latin we say.....coma...So,you can imagine my fragile conditions of health now. Since then,I haven't had time to write or dedicate myself to think about anything in my life...In fact, my health still is a bit fragile...But if you can read in portuguese,I would be pleased to send you a portuguese version of my project. It will be a pleasure to send you my research project on Einstein's new  scientific perspectives so far completely misunderstood or not well understood so far and since May,25th,1919,when he confirmed his Enigmatic discovery...In Philosophy of Science...they calll it...Einstein's enigma of Sobral.....Do you know anything on this city...or about the enigma of Sobral,here in Brazil,where Einstein confirmed his General Theor y of relativity....

Professor Jeff Malpas, I thank you very much for you attention and kindness....Also for exchanging some words and moments of your time with me.

Looking forward to hearing from you again,

Best regards,

Professor Malpas,

Unfortunately...and it's really...really a pity for me,that you can't read portuguese....never mind...because the questions I have,and I hope we discuss through some e-mails...and I can assure you that they are many.But, I don't want to take your time for the moment.Since you are away from home,as you said in your last email.You're in Greece. Next week,I'll write down some questions I have.

Thanks, for you attention and simpathy.

All the best,

Nildson Muniz

Dear Nildson Muniz (or should I call you Nildson?)

I have to admit to finding your questions a little odd – I may need to think about them. Part of the problem is that it isn’t clear to me what the background is to your questions. Most contemporary philosophers would see Einstein’s work as a as belonging to physical theory (and so if it falls under any part of philosophy, it belongs under what used to be called ‘natural philosophy’ or what we might think of as a form of empiricist metaphysics). As such, while Einstein may use metaphors to explain his theory, the theory itself is not to be construed metaphorically. It asserts certain relationships between concepts, and those relationships can also be expressed mathematically. However, having said that, the idea of the space-time continuum that Einstein deploys (which comes from Minskowski and which Einstein also discusses in his Foreword to Max Jammer’s Concepts of Space – which perhaps you should read if you have not done so already), needs to be understood as a very specific way of understanding space and time as these concepts apply only within the mathematicised framework of physical theory. As such, these concepts are given their logical or philosophical foundation in a more basic notion of the temporal-spatial (which is the focus of much of my work). But we have to be very careful about the conceptual relationships here, and not mix up different spheres of discourse. You might find it useful to read the first chapter or two of my Place and Experience. Have a think about what I have written here, and then you might want to ask me some more questions.

Professor Jeff Malpas,

I wanna thank you very much for answering back my last e-mail,in which I said I have many questions on Einstein's conceptual revolution in Modern physics. So,please,feel free to answer my questions when you are home and have time to do so. The,here,I go...

1) In your opinion.....Einstein's conceptual revolution should be best studied according to Philodophy of Language or Mind....and why...

2) Which conceptual model could best answer Einstein's conceptual innovation....

3)Could we say or analyse Einstein's relativite space-time as a metaphor....If yes or not...and why or how...I'm thinking about the contributions or discussions in since Ferdinand De Saussure until George Lakoff and Turner,for example....

4)Last but the least...do you have any paper in which you discuss conceptual or theoric aspects on the scheme conceptual theory.

I hope I have made myself clear or understood for starting our exchanges on Einstein's grounding of Relative Speace-time concept.

Thanks for now and all the best

Professor Jeff Malpas,

Every email of yours....is really a good surprise and it makes me very much...About my name, you can call me Nildson...It's my first name...About your e-mail below,I say the questions I sent you they are my way of seeing Einstein's conceptual innovating idea about cosmos. And I must say it's and it needs an interdisciplinary approach among Philosophy of mind,language,semantics,semiotics and Anthropology of time and of Anthopology of Imagery in order to ground a new perspective on how Einstein would have thought or formulated his concept an view of relativistic space-time. And this interdisciplinary I don't know how to ground or to structure yet....Professor Malpas,is you book---experience of place---translated into Portuguese...or do you know if I could find it here in Brazil...I would be pleased to read your groundings on the experience of place....I'm sending you tomorrow some more questions I have thought and prepared...translated into English...I correcting my english....it will be ok tomorrow...so,I can send it to you...

Professor Jeff Malpas,

Again,I must say it's a pity that you'rent translated yet into Portuguese.And I don"t either if or where I could get any of your publications here in Brazil.As I wrote you before I have many questions on how to treat Einstein"s conceptual revolution in Modern Physics and Science.As I said in one of emails,although,my health,I have tried...I would like to share with you a web page I created,just in case I'm not here tomorrow. I hope what you're gonna see and read helps you to understand a little better and clear on what I call Einstein's enigma of Sobral. I would be grateful if I received any comment or questions on my web page. The electronic address is....www.enigmadeeinstein.com.br.

All the best,

Nildson Muniz

Dear Nildson

I have had a look at the website. Unfortunately the text seemed to end partway through (with the paragraph “It’s almost commonplace to affirm that along the history of science there were only three scientific revolutions. The first one took place in ancient Greece, when geometry was introduced, and from that the conception of rigid bodies and the static configurations was elaborated. This accomplishment gave birth to the recognition of the role of mathematics rationale in our comprehension of nature. The second revolution we could say”). I am still a little puzzled at what it is you want to claim. Part of the problem may be that the English reads a little oddly – and so perhaps the translation is making the matter harder to communicate. You say that “The central question therefore aims to define in which theory of consciousness is Einstein’s Sobral discovery best grounded?”. This is an odd question to ask philosophically. A theory will normally be said to be grounded, first, in the empirical or conceptual evidence that is relevant to its claims, but Einstein’s theory of relativity is not about consciousness and so not likely to be grounded in any theory of consciousness; second, at a more general level, a specific empirical theory may be grounded in some theory of knowledge (which may impinge on a theory of consciousness), but you don’t seem to advance any such theory here (and such a theory will normally concern the logical and evidential structure of the theory in its general rather than specific form). So one question for you to answer is: what do you understand the theory of consciousness to be and why do you think it is relevant to Einstein and to Einstein specifically (rather than to scientific theorising in general). You also make a couple of other claims that are worth looking at. First you say that

“we emphasize that the process of comprehension of these relations can only be tropological, since what is involved in the conversion of the unfamiliar to the familiar is a creation of a metaphor that in general is figurative” and also “the conclusion herein reached therefore is that the concept of relativity is a cognitive metaphor in thought and language in Albert Einstein’s relativistic Mechanics, confirmed in Sobral, Brazil”. These two sentences make it sound as if what actually interests you is the ay in which metaphors operate in Einstein’s thought, and in particular the way in which the idea of relativity might itself be understood as a metaphor. The problem, however, is that you do not spell this out and you also do not offer any account of what you understand metaphor to be or exactly how you think the metaphorical may work here. There is a large existing discussion in the philosophy of science about the role of metaphors in science – much of this is indebted to Mary Hesse’s work from the 1960s (type in “Mary Hesse” and “metaphor” into Google and you will get some links). If your claim is simply that some of Einstein’s key concepts are metaphorical in character or that he uses metaphors at key point in his work, then this is not a new claim, and it is also a claim that is already explored in some detail elsewhere. Whether the claim about metaphor can be viewed as connected to any theory of consciousness is also something that would need arguing – Hesse makes no such claim – although some writers, notably George Lakoff and Mark Johnson have argued that certain metaphors do play a central role in enabling thought (but this is not a claim they make about science in particular). Notice that even if one does accept that Einstein’s thinking is metaphorical, this does not mean that his work is ONLY metaphorical. Einstein’s thinking may use metaphors and yet it might still have a conceptual and theoretical content that can be empirically tested (as in the case of the Sobral observations – indeed, I am not sure why you focus on the Sobral case since this seems not to have any bearing on the question of metaphoricity). So a metaphor can be used to make true claims, as it can also be used to make empirical or theoretical claims.

Hi Professor Malpas,

It's good to hear from and know your news again....I hope you're fine.I keep waiting for your comments on my web page.

All the best

Nildson Muniz

Dear Nildson

I am afraid there is no support for overseas PhD students here in Tasmania. I do think that you should try to work out in more detail the basic concepts that you think underpin your work. I am not sure what you mean when you talk about terrestrial topology or its relevance to Einstein. I don’t see any clear sense in which Einstein’s work relates to topology as usually understood. Similarly, you should also try to work out exactly why phenomenology is relevant here. Part of my concern in these respects is that you make a lot of general claims on your website and in your emails, but you don’t actually supply any argumentation or evidence to support those claims. You really need to clarify the basic framework of your research. Without that it is hard to offer any substantive comment. I suspect this may be partly why you are having trouble getting people to show an interest in supervision.

Dear Professor Jeff Malpas,

I want to thank you very much for your below e-mail,in which you tell me that you have visited my web page.About your questions,I would like also to say that they show a profound and carefull reading of my preliminary texts on Einstein's enigma of Sobral,as I have started to think about Einstein's grounding of relativity. Professor Jeff, it's a pity that you could'nt read the texts due to problems on the page.Sometimes,it happens with new technologies,not well defined. On the your doubts about my preliminary ideas,I can say that I'm thinking of new interdiscplinary perspectives in order to be able to think or to discuss Einstein's cosmological topology. As you might know,if our definition or comprehension of earth,terrestrial topology is a very tough conceptual problem,and not yet well grounded you can imagine on this theoric discussion. Professor Jeff,my idea is to continue to look for some professor who wants or can tutor me. What I can tell you for the moment about these matters,it's that my way of thinking of Einstein's conceptual and scientific revolution,it's only possible if there is a rethinking of phenomenology.And here I'm thinking of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Paul Ricouer's contribution.Which are in my those theorists who most advanced and contributed to new perspectives in the understanding of topology.Unfortunately,I haven't found a professor who wants or accepts me under his or her supervision.I think it's also possible to develop Einstein's conceptual and scientific revolution in the field of Philosophy of language or philosophy of mind. Again,I must say, I'm not undergradueted neither do I have a MSC.in Philosophy....So,I have to continue to think about these einstenian inovations all by myself. At least,I don't have time for existential problems,so far I'm alive.

All the best

Nildson

Dear Nildson

We do have a doctoral programme here in Tasmania, but the difficulty is that it is very hard to get a place for a student from overseas.

It seems as if you have indeed had a difficult time. So far as the Einstein work is concerned, it does make it hard for an outsider to assess or comment on your work if you feel you have to keep elements of it hidden. It means I still do not know what the discovery is that you think you have made. I am not sure how your ideas relate to space and place, but if they are connected to those ideas, then I would strongly suggest you read Einstein’s preface to Max Jammer’s, The Concept of Space. It is Einstein’s clearest set of comments on the matter of what I think of as topology.

Best

It's really one more pity that you don't offer or you don't have a doctorship program at Tasmania University.Thank you for offering me this possibility.I appreciate your spontaneity...About your comments on the unclear or uncomplete my way of thinking,or about some of the concepts I questionned or that I leave without grounding or that I haven't shown or developped more completely...You are wright..I must confess to you...your're right...I'm gonna tell you the following...a private experience of my own.....After finninshing my Mastership at the University Lumiere-Lyon II in Lyon,France...which was a terrible experience with my tutor...But Professor Malpass,I must confess to you...I do believe in angels...not celestial...but human angels...those appear when you don't expect.

hi,

thanks for your email.  it sounds like an interesting project, but i don't
really have any expertise in the area.  i'd suggest you find a

Professor David Chalmers,

It's a great pleasure sending you this e-mail.I'm sending you this e-mail from Brasilia,the capital of Brazil.My idea in sending this e-mail is to present you a proposal study of doctorship on language and cognitive construal dealing with Albert Einstein's cosmologic construal of space.As you may know almost a century after no one has so far khown or understood and presentend a complete study discussing how Einstein did manage to construct a Relativistic space in his Physics.It would be a great pleasure for me to develop this study under your coordination.First of all,let me please to introduce myself.As I saind at the beguining I'm writting you from Brasilia,the capital of Brazil.My name's Nildson Alvares Muniz. I'm Brazilian,anthropologist,with a master degree in Sociology and Social Sciences by Université Lumiere-Lyon-II,Lyon.France.The resume attached I 'm sending you I have presented in the III Conferencia Internacional sobre a Metafora na Linguagem e no Pensamento,held last year and which took place at the University Federal of Ceará in Fortaleza,Brazil,last  October. 


I'm  thinking of discussing some new linguistic and anthropologic perspectives on the semantics of cosmologic space in Albert Einstein's Relativistic Mechanics.The idea I would like to develop is the linguistic and anthropologic methodology used by Einstein to ground his innovations and formulations developped in the methodology of light deflexion measurement of sun light in the eclipse of May 1919.For this I think it is possible to use your contributions of metaphorical in Thought and Language in order to explain how Einstein did manage to ground his light deflexion methodology. A very scientific discovery so far much discussed but not yet very well understood in Einstein's Physics. Although,and after almost a century his contributions. So his scientific inovations still remain without a lingustic approach.

So,Professor Chalmers I Thank  very much your attention. And I would be very happy and thankfull if I receveid your answer.
Looking forward to hear from you
