Abstract

This paper presents the results of an experiment designed to test for nationality bias among members of the Brazilian philosophical community. Faculty members and postgraduate students from philosophy departments at seven Brazilian universities evaluated texts attributed to authors of European and Latin American nationalities. Results showed a clear preference for French nationality over Brazilian. They were inconclusive, however, when contrasting other Latin American nationalities with European nationalities, which likely relates to the academic background of the participants. These overall results support the claim that Brazilian academic philosophers are highly critical of Brazilians who produce theories of their own. The paper calls on philosophers to carefully consider the ways in which Eurocentrism impacts their very ability to reason.

认知殖民主义:巴西学术哲学中的民族偏见
本文提出了一项旨在测试巴西哲学界成员国籍偏见的实验结果。来自巴西七所大学哲学系的教师和研究生评估了欧洲和拉丁美洲国籍作者的文本。结果显示,法国国籍明显优于巴西国籍。然而,当将其他拉丁美洲国家的人与欧洲国家的人进行对比时,结果却没有定论,这可能与参与者的学术背景有关。这些总体结果支持了这样一种说法,即巴西的学院派哲学家对那些创造自己理论的巴西人持高度批评态度。这篇论文呼吁哲学家们仔细考虑欧洲中心主义对他们推理能力的影响。
