[PROPOSAL] Book Publishing + Voxel NFTs: SIF: Selected Texts on Logic II - April 2022

Proponent: @thephilosopher
Near account for payment: thephilosopher.near
Project timeline: 07/04/2022 to 25/04/2022

History: Série Investigação Filosófica is a series of academic books of translations from English to Portuguese from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, with the due authorization, and coordinated by @thephilosopher, with more than 30 PhD Philosophers organizing each of the 40 books of the series. 16 of these books are sponsored by John Templeton Foundation, but 24 of them are not. You can see the published books here: Série Investigação Filosófica – NEPFIL online and you can see more information (in Portuguese) about the next books and the series as a whole here: Blog Investigação Φ Filosófica: Série Investigação Filosófica (Série IF)

Objective:
The main objective of this project is to sponsor the work involved in the publishing of these books and to build NFTs associated with these books on near blockchain, specifically on mintbase.

Justification:
The importance of these books is huge on Brazilian academic philosophy. Many of the students do not know how to read in English, so translations of important entries from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy are relevant on teaching philosophy at Brazilian universities. Up to now, we have more than 16,000 downloads from the books of the series. To bring this kind of material to the blockchain is revolutionary, because links the Academy to the Web3.

Timeline:

April 07th
To receive the book from organizer and to make the diagramming and the pre-textual parts and publish the book. (I will build a voxel 3d object, wearable from Cryptovoxels, and their photos or turntable GIFs to mint as NFTs and link with the real book as an object of inspiration. We will publish the digital book at the university publisher site and also as a PDF associated with the 3d book we will mint.)

April 15th
To edit, to make final revision and diagramming, to publish the book.

April 20th
To make and mint the image of the 3d book as a NFT linked to the real book.

April 25th
Accoutnability report.

Project: To receive a book produced by the organizer and his/her team, and to diagram, edit and publlish at the university publisher site, and than mint an image from a 3d book, voxel asset, as NFT in our mintbase store, on near blockchain. The book is about Logic, the one you can see in our blog that is in production.

Budget: USD 1000 in NEAR

500 usd in near - The Philosopher @thephilosopher for organizing the work, with final editing, and producing the voxel assets, the images or gifs from the assets and minting them as NFTs
500 usd in near - Dr. Kherian Gracher @Kherian, PhD, for organizing the book with his team of translator and reviewers

Products/Deliverables: 1 published book from SIF at UFPel Publisher, 1 NFT with the book as PDF and a cover image from the 3d wearable voxel asset (with the description linking with the publisher and with NEAR sponsoring), with splits for the DAO, and 50 copies and affordable price.
