Ce travail se propose de comprendre l’éthique élaborée par Spinoza comme cheminement individuel dans le cadre d’une nature déterminée de part en part, et au sein de laquelle aucune finalité n’est assignée aux hommes. La question consiste donc à se demander comment l’on peut passer à une autre manière d’exister sans postuler de distance de soi à soi ; et cela revient à incarner différemment, singulièrement, le déterminisme commun. S’appuyant sur l’étude de concepts tels fabrica, constitutio, occasio, ou encore aptitudes, ce travail part du dynamisme des choses singulières afin d’établir l’historicité propre à l’existence humaine. Dans ce cadre, les rencontres déterminantes sans être librement choisies sont parties prenantes du cheminement éthique, comme autant de circonstances propices à l’occasion desquelles on peut accroître son aptitude à être diversement affecté. Il s’agit ainsi de constituer une « anthropologie éthique » qui permette de concevoir l’éthique à partir de l’existence courante des hommes du commun, mais sans jamais la réduire à une science des comportements. Cela requiert ainsi de penser la possibilité de changements sur fond de continuité, en incluant dans le cheminement tout ce qui est à même d’alimenter des variations orientées, comme le désir, l’imagination d’un modèle ou la sensation de soi à divers moments de son existence. Est requis pour cela de constituer un concept de « singularité », qui se distingue de ce qui est simplement particulier, mais qui ne s’oppose pas cependant à un cheminement commun. Cela revient alors à considérer l’éthique non comme un état à atteindre (un devenir « quelque chose »), mais comme le fait même d’être « en devenir ». / The aim of this study is to conceive of Spinoza’s ethics as an individual progression within the framework of a completely determined existence wherein no finality is assigned to man. Hence, the question is how to pass from one mode of existence to another without distancing one from oneself or, that which amounts to the same, how to embody, differently and in a singular way, the common determinism. Taking our point of departure in concepts such as fabrica, constitutio, occasio or aptitude, this study thus begins by looking at the dynamics of individual things in order to determine the historicity proper to human existence. Within this framework, encounters that are determining but not freely chosen are integral parts of the ethical progression, constituting so many circumstances propitious for the production of the occasions where one’s aptitude to be affected in many ways can be augmented. The objective is then to establish an “ethical anthropology” allowing to conceive of an ethics taking its point of departure in the everyday existence of common people but without ever reducing to a science of behaviors. This also requires that the possibility of change must be thought on the basis of continuity by including in the progression everything that supports the different variations and their orientations, such as desire or the imaginary models or senses of self that we have at different moments of our existence. In order to do that, one must construct a concept of “singularity” as of something different from the merely “particular” but that nonetheless is not opposed to a common progression. This amounts to considering ethics, not as a state to achieve (a “becoming something”) but rather as the very fact of being “in becoming.”

Discutiremos a natureza do homem e sua condição humana atrelada pela busca ao divertimento como fuga de sua estrutura ontologica de miserabilidade e condicionada a desviar-se da angústia, estado atávico da natureza do homem. Para tanto, faremos uma tragetória conceitual pelos principais influenciadores da filosofia de Pascal: Santo Agostinho e Cornelius Jansenius, seguindo pelo desmembramento do paradoxo grandeza e miséria, discussão essencial na obra do filósofo, o que nos ajudará a compreender a função do divertimento pascaliano no terceiro capítulo. Por fim, a compreensão dos conceitos de Ennui e Divertissemnt, através do Fragmento 199 dos Pensées.

Starting from the idea of a pedagogy of the meeting, the perspective that goes through the dissertation is the social relation of the individual, having, thus, a critical synthesis on the pedagogical context. The thinker from Pernambuco approaches Maritain's Integral Humanism when he affirms that there is no education without relating the teacher to the student in the human context that exists between them. In the Marxian view and the critique of teaching and learning, Paulo Freire discusses the problems and antagonisms of classes, starting with an analysis of two pedagogical political projects: dialogic education, one that places the individual in a world reading and makes it the historical subject and antidialogical education that makes the subject a mere object of its context and does not show the world in a political language. In phenomenology, Paulo Freire shows that the task of knowing is directed to the subject and not to the object. And it is as subject and only as subject, that the man can really know. In the philosophical conception, Paulo Freire is dedicated to speaking about the context of freedom in Sartre and on the Personalism of Mounier. In freedom in Sartre, Paulo Freire argues that the individual without this does not realize a critical view of the world, because it will be in a false dialogue. About the Personalism de Mounier, Paulo Freire points out to us the problematic of human beingship, that only through an education of appreciation of the person, there will be possibilities for reflection / A dissertação discute a concepção antropológica e filosófica, as quais Paulo Freire utilizou para fundamentar uma pedagogia do encontro e uma pedagogia política. Partindo da ideia de uma pedagogia do encontro, a perspectiva que percorre a dissertação é a relação social do indivíduo, tendo assim, uma síntese crítica sobre o contexto pedagógico. O pensador pernambucano se aproxima do Humanismo Integral de Maritain, ao afirmar que não existe uma educação sem relacionar o docente com o discente, no contexto humano que existe entre ambos. Na visão marxiana e a crítica sobre o ensino e a aprendizagem, Paulo Freire discute os problemas e os antagonismos de classes, lançando-se numa análise de dois projetos políticos pedagógicos: a educação dialógica, aquela que coloca o indivíduo em uma leitura de mundo e o faz ser o sujeito histórico e a educação antidialógica, que faz o sujeito ser um mero objeto de seu contexto e não mostra o mundo em uma linguagem política. Na fenomenologia, Paulo Freire mostra que a tarefa do conhecer é direcionada ao sujeito e não ao objeto. E é como sujeito e somente enquanto sujeito, que o homem pode realmente conhecer. Na concepção filosófica, Paulo Freire dedica-se a falar do contexto da liberdade em Sartre e sobre o Personalismo de Mounier. Na liberdade em Sartre, Paulo Freire discute que o indivíduo sem esta não realiza uma visão crítica do mundo, pois ficará em um diálogo falso. Acerca do Personalismo de Mounier, Paulo Freire nos indica a problemática da coisificação humana, que somente através de uma educação de valorização da pessoa, haverá possibilidades de reflexões

La ricerca si propone, attraverso una lettura ermeneutica storico-teoretica della quasi totalità dei testi anselmiani, di far emergere quale sia la concezione antropologica dell’autore e all’interno di quali linee teoriche possa essere ricondotta. Emergerà come innegabile il riferimento all’impianto antropologico e teologico agostiniano ma sarà altrettanto evidente come Anselmo si ponga in parziale discontinuità con questo nucleo fondativo proponendo notevoli elementi di novità. Lo studio si snoda su cinque capitoli che rispondono al tentativo di mostrare come - pur non potendo prescindere dal fondamento di Dio da cui tutto procede, per poi passare attraverso l’icona del Cristo e della sua incarnazione, fino ad arrivare all’uomo ed essere nuovamente condotti in ultima istanza a Dio – l’impianto anselmiano proponga significativi aspetti di discontinuità con il paradigma di riferimento. Nella parte conclusiva, attraverso una ripresa del Proslogion, si è mostrato come alla luce del percorso compiuto anche l’id quo maius acquisti un significato e una valenza ancor più ricca soprattutto per i suoi riflessi sul versante antropologico che possono suggerire stimoli assai interessanti anche per l’uomo contemporaneo. / The aim of this study is to analyze Anselmo's scriptures, his literary references and anthropological conception through an hermeneutic historical-theoretic approach. The analysis shows an anthropological and theological connection with Agostino's inheritance but, at the same time, it is possible to evidence that Anselmo introduces new elements of reflection. My research is based on five chapters that try to demonstrate the distinctive feature of Anselmo anthropological conception starting from his main philosophical/theological subjects such the foundation of God, the proceeds of everything from Him, the figure of Christ, his incarnation and the human being. In conclusion, the id quo maius acquired an important and renewed meaning -through the anthropological interpretation done - not only for the historical research but for the contemporary man too.

This study argues that a pragmatic conception of religion would enable philosophers to make important contributions to our ability to handle concrete problems involving religion. The term 'philosophical anthropology', referring to different interpretative frameworks, which philosophers draw on to develop conceptions of human phenomena, is introduced. It is argued that the classical pragmatists embraced a philosophical anthropology significantly different from that embraced by most philosophers of religion; accordingly, pragmatism offers an alternative conception of religion. It is suggested that a conception of religion is superior to another if it makes more promising contributions to our ability to handle extra-philosophical problems of religion. A pragmatic philosophical anthropology urges us to view human practices as responses to shared experienced needs. Religious practices develop to resolve tensions in our views of life. The pictures of human flourishing they persent reconstruct our views of life, thereby allowing more significant interaction with the environment, and a more significant life. A modified version of reflective equilibrium is developed to show how we, on a pragmatic conception of religion, are able to supply resources for criticism and reform of religious practices, so the extra-philosophical problems of religion can be handled. Mainstream philosophy of religion attempts to offer such resources by presenting analogy-arguments from religious experience. Those arguments are, however, unconvincing. A comparison of the two conceptions of religion thus results in a recommendation to reconstruct philosophy of religion.

Modern economic theory of self-interest alleges that in their economic relations people always behave in a way that maximises their utility. The idea whether human beings were solely self-interested has a long history as it can be seen from the writings of Greek philosophers and the Church fathers. Among Greek philosophers there were those who argued that human beings were naturally self-interested (Aristotle) and those who maintained that human beings were communal by nature (Plato, Stoics and the Pythagoreans). The later position was adopted by the Church fathers as they condemned self-interest as the sin of avarice and greed. The justification of self-interest in human and political activities was part and parcel of the economic and political early modernists, as it can be seen in the works of Mandeville, Hobbes, Hume and Adam Smith. In the writings of these thinkers, the flourishing of wealth depended on individual freedom to pursue their self-interests. In this regard, selfinterest became the sole source of motivation in the behaviour of homo economicus. A persistent motif in late modern economic discourse on self-interest is based on the idea that people think and act on the basis of that which is to their self-interest. It is mainly for this reason that late modern economic thinkers maintain that society would prosper when people are left alone to pursue their self-interests. Late modern economic theory of utility maximisation alleges that individuals act only after calculating costs and benefits. The argument of this thesis, based on the commonalities between African humanism and process philosophical anthropology, is that self-interest is antithetical to communal life as advocated in the ethic of Ubuntu. One who acts solely on the basis of maximising his or her utility would inevitably deprive others of a humane existence. A holistic metaphysical outlook based on the relatedness and interrelatedness of everything that exists as we find it in African humanism and process philosophical anthropology implies that the individual exists in internal relations with everything else. We should go beyond selfinterest by giving primacy to a holistic ethic. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / D. Div. (Theological Ethics)

One of the main contributions of Kano was the transformation of the practice of martial art in an educational method. This process took place in a historical moment marked by social changes in Japan that started receiving strong influence of the Western World during the Meiji era. At that time, the values , thoughts, institutions, and Eastern and Western Languages circulated and merged marking a strong syncretism in different social environments. Would Jigoro Kano have absorbed these influences to develop Judo? This possible link among Eastern and Western Countries, preserving part of traditional Japanese Culture and allowing the influence of Western thoughts and practice, possesses extremely relevance currently as much talked about returning formulations that gave origin to Judo. After all, which formulations are these and how far should we adopt them without further consideration? In the course of the History and more precisely at the end of the 2nd World War, Judo has lost much of the concepts and fundamentals that make the connection with the Language and Eastern thought as well as its original and unique Educational meaning due to its expanding WorldWide as Sports practice. Thus, the study aims to: 1 ) identify the fundamentals of Judo under the influence of the Educational process of the Eastern-Western integration , 2) analyze the relationship of the Eastern Western World during the transformation of Judo Educational method for Sports practice , 3) Organize structuring elements to establish the fundamentals of Contemporary Educational Judo analyzing the influence of the Eastern-Western integration in this process , starting from the systemic model of thought of Jigoro Kano when designing the Judo Kodokan rearranging their conceptual frameworks from the Science of Human Kinetics . This is a theorical study, of bibliographical purpose, which appropriates to the Philosophical Anthropology as a methodological support. The survey results affirm the integration process in the Eastern-Western formulation of the Educational / Philosophical concepts of Judo beyond the transformations of symbolical systems that link the fight of Anthropological - Philosophical Evolution, since the practice of Bujutsu (Military Art, 17th Century) in Medieval Japan, to the Contemporary Educational perspectives supported in Human Motricity Science (HMS). / Desenvolvido em 1882 por Jigoro Kano a partir de seus estudos sobre as escolas de jujutsu, o Judô Kodokan surgiu dentro do espaço escolar a partir de três pilares básicos: como método de luta (arte marcial), como método de treinamento físico (educação física), como método de treinamento mental (desenvolvimento moral e intelectual) onde o Do (caminho) é o foco principal a ser ensinado em vista de beneficiar a sociedade. Uma das principais contribuições de Kano foi a transformação de uma prática de luta marcial em um método educativo. Tal processo ocorreu num momento histórico marcado por mudanças sociais no Japão que passou a receber forte influência do mundo ocidental durante a era Meiji. Naquela época os valores, pensamentos, instituições e linguagens orientais e ocidentais circulavam e se fundiam marcando um forte sincretismo em diversos espaços sociais. Teria Jigoro Kano absorvido essas influências ao desenvolver o judô? Essa possível ligação entre o Oriente e o Ocidente, preservando parte da cultura tradicional japonesa e permitindo a influência de pensamentos e práticas ocidentais, possui extrema relevância para a atualidade uma vez que muito se fala em retornar as formulações que deram origem ao Judô. Afinal, que formulações são estas e até que ponto devemos adotá-las sem uma profunda reflexão? No transcorrer da história e, mais precisamente ao final da 2ª guerra mundial, o judô perde boa parte dos conceitos e fundamentos que fazem sua ligação com a linguagem e o pensamento oriental bem como seu significado educativo original em função da sua expansão pelo mundo como prática esportiva. Assim o estudo tem como objetivos: 1) identificar os fundamentos do judô educativo segundo a influência do processo de integração Oriente-Ocidente; 2) Analisar a relação Oriente-Ocidente durante a transformação do Judô de método educativo para prática esportiva; 3) Organizar elementos estruturantes para estabelecer os fundamentos do judô educativo contemporâneo analisando a influência da integração Oriente-Ocidente nesse processo, partindo do modelo sistêmico de pensamento de Jigoro Kano ao elaborar o Judô Kodokan reorganizando suas referências conceituais a partir da Ciência da Motricidade Humana. Trata-se de um estudo teórico, de caráter bibliográfico, que se apropria da antropologia filosófica como suporte metodológico. Os resultados da pesquisa afirmam o processo de integração Oriente-Ocidente na formulação dos conceitos educativo/filosóficos do judô além das transformações dos sistemas simbólicos da luta que apontam sua evolução antropológico-filosófica, desde a prática do Bujutsu (Arte militar sec. XVII) no Japão medieval, até as perspectivas educativas contemporâneas apoiadas na Ciência da Motricidade Humana (CMH).

Na Metafísica dos costumes, a mencionada antropologia é designada como a contraparte (Gegenstück) da moral pura, isto é, como o outro membro (Glied) da filosofia prática. Tal concepção impulsionou a presente investigação, de entender como Kant concebe a conexão entre a moral e a antropologia, uma vez que o filósofo também parece demarcar uma rigorosa separação entre a moral e a antropologia. Em vista disso, este trabalho defenderá a tese de que a antropologia moral de Kant é uma ciência pragmática, cuja função consiste em aplicar a moral no homem. Dito de outra forma, pretende-se mostrar que a antropologia moral, tomada como a contraparte da moral, cumpre o papel de formar o caráter moral do homem. A fim de demonstrar essa tese, os dois primeiros capítulos apresentarão um panorama da metafísica dos costumes (filosofia prática pura), expondo os problemas e soluções apresentados por Kant, e as evidências que sustentam a necessidade de haver uma antropologia moral. O terceiro capítulo explorará a definição do conceito de uma antropologia kantiana. O quarto capítulo elencará e discutirá alguns elementos que compõem a natureza moral do homem. O último capítulo apresentará alguns dispositivos responsáveis pela formação moral do homem. / Abstract: The aim of this work is to determine the function of moral anthropology in Kant's practical philosophy. In the Metaphysics of Morals, this anthropology is called the counterpart (Gegenstück) of pure morality, that is, the other member (Glied) of practical philosophy. Such concept drove the present investigation in its attempt to understand the way Kant conceives the link between morality and anthropology, once the philosopher also seems to mark a strict distinction between morality and anthropology. Considering this, this work defends the thesis that Kant's moral anthropology is a pragmatic science, whose function consists on applying morality to man. In other words, my purpose is to show that moral anthropology, taken as the counterpart of morality, performs the role of forming the moral character of man. In order to prove this, the first two chapters present a description of the metaphysics of morals (pure practical philosophy), exposing the problems and solutions proposed by Kant, and the evidence that supports the necessity for moral anthropology. The third chapter explores the definition of a Kantian anthropology. The fourth chapter lists and discusses a few elements which are part of the moral nature of man. The last chapter presents a few devices that are responsible for the moral formation of man. / Doutorado / Historia da Filosofia Moderna / Doutor em Filosofia
