Edgar Lyra has a degree in Chemical Engineering from the State University of Rio de Janeiro (1981), and Master’s (1999) and Doctorate (2003) Degrees in Philosophy from the Pontifical University of Rio de Janeiro. He is an established member of the main teaching body of the Philosophy Department of PUC-Rio where, since September 2013, he has coordinated the graduate course (Bachelor’s Degree) and, since August 2012, the sub-project, PIBID-CAPES. He has experience in the field of Contemporary Philosophy, especially ethical problems, politics and pedagogy related to the current technological hegemony and its environmental impacts. He works mainly with the authors Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt, on whom his publications are focussed. More recently he has devoted himself to the study of rhetoric with political-pedagogic intentions, based on its Greek context of sedimentation, notably regarding the rhetoric of Aristotle in relation to its contemporary echoes. Between 2014 and 2016 he was responsible for the coordination of the Heidegger Work Group, of ANPOF (National Association of Philosophy Post-Graduation). Since 2014 has worked as an associate on the Vocational Master’s Degree for the Teaching of Philosophy of CEFET-RJ.
