A metaontologia de Carnap: o contexto de seu surgimento e seus elementos fundamentais
Keywords in Portuguese

Ontologia, Platonismo
Quine
Abstract in Portuguese
Esta tese de doutorado é uma investigação acerca da metaontologia de Carnap. São discutidas e examinadas aqui algumas teses propostas por Quine (relativas ao seu critério de compromisso ontológico) e a resposta de Carnap em "Empiricism, Semantics, and Ontology". Os elementos fundamentais da metaontologia de Carnap são discernidos, e suas origens em obras anteriores são investigadas. A tese principal defendida aqui é a de que Carnap e Quine diferem radicalmente acerca do que caracteriza a adoção de uma doutrina ontológica (tal como o nominalismo ou o platonismo) e daquilo que deva motivar a adoção ou rejeição de diferentes linguagens e teorias em domínios científicos e filosóficos. Defende-se também que, da articulação por parte de Carnap dessas diferenças, emergem indiretamente resultados para a disciplina da ontologia. Por fim, articula-se, ainda que de maneira preliminar, algumas diferenças relevantes entre a doutrina metaontológica de Carnap e as doutrinas defendidas por seus herdeiros - ditos "neo-carnapianos" - e algumas semelhanças igualmente relevantes entre aquela e o neo-quineanismo.

Abstract in English
This doctoral dissertation studies Carnap's metaontology. Certain theses put forward by Quine (linked to his criterion of ontological commitment) are discussed and examined, as well as Carnap's response to them in his main metaontological work, "Empiricism, Semantics, and Ontology". The fundamental elements of Carnap's metaontology are discerned, and their origins are traced back to his earlier works. The main thesis argued here is that Quine and Carnap hold radically different conceptions about what it is to endorse an ontological doctrine--such as nominalism and Platonism--and about what should ground the adoption or rejection of different theories and languages in scientific and philosophical disciplines. It is also argued in preliminary form that certain indirect results for ontology as a discipline emerge from Carnap's response to Quine. Lastly, some relevant differences between Carnap's doctrine and those held neo-Carnapians are brought to light, as well as some equally relevant similarities between Carnap's doctrine and neo-Quinenanism.
