As several rhetorical scholars have previously critically reviewed works written by philosophers and rhetoricians, and have focused upon their treatment of the concepts of epistemology, ontology, and rhetoric, this study critically examines the epistemology and ontology of George Campbell, eighteenth-century philosopher-rhetorician, and author of the Philosophy of Rhetoric. Campbell's work is interpreted as indicative of an "objectivist" stance consistent with the position of twentieth-century scholars such as Cherwitz and Hikins. This objectivist stance embodies four basic tenets: (1) Reality is certain; (2) Reality is independent; (3) Reality is knowable; and (4) Reality is communicable.Although most authors examining Campbell's philosophy have focused upon external connections between Campbell and other philosophers, this study conducts a critical, textcentered analysis of his work. Every statement deemed relevant as indicative of Campbell's objectivist stance is categorized according to the objectivity tenets; passages either directly refer to these tenets, indirectly suggest them, and/or are unclear, requiring assistance from other sources. The findings, taken as a whole, offer sufficient evidence that Campbell's epistemology and ontology were objective. Significant implications arise from this study, which may increase our understanding concerning Campbell's philosophy, his historical context, and terms used in the modern epistemology debate. Moreover, some difficult passages potentially imply inconsistencies in Campbell's objectivist philosophy; subsequent analysis reduces the threat made to this study's claim. In addition, several scholars have made findings which corraborate this study's claim. / Department of Speech Communication

O trabalho traça o perfil de Diniz, pesquisador que "descobriu" estes motetos quaresmais na atualidade e apresenta defesa da "autenticidade das cópias manuscritas", ao datar, por aproximação, os originais encontrados em seu acervo, através da análise de conteúdos, conforme Laurence Bardin (2011), de "pistas informativas" deixadas em "notas" nas suas transcrições. A contextualização histórica ¿ fundamentada em autores afora o âmbito musical, porém dentro da esfera artística como Marcílio Lins Reinaux (1975) e Leonardo Dantas Silva (2011) ¿ dirige o estudo ao locus, meio social e biografia do compositor, bem como aos motivos da criação das obras e sua inserção no âmbito da cerimônia religiosa católica denominada "Procissão dos Passos" descrita por Paulo Castagna (2000). O estudo analítico apresentado, sem pretender esgotar as possibilidades, faz uma apreciação dos motetos a partir do sentido dos textos que os compõem, expressos através de elementos retórico-musicais detectados. A edição das partituras para fins logísticos no desenvolvimento da dissertação, anexada ao final do trabalho, constitui-se fator que possibilitará futura realização e busca tornar públicas as obras apresentadas / Abstract: This dissertation is based on Pernambuco Colonial¿s collection of musical research conducted by Jaime Cavalcanti Diniz (1924-1989) ¿ which is gathered at Ricardo Brennand Institue¿s library in Recife ¿ and it aims to study the musical pieces entitled Sete Motetos ... and Miserere para os Sermões da Quaresma, both assigned by the musicologist to the eighteenth century composer from Recife Luiz Álvares Pinto (1719-1789). The work outlines Diniz¿s profile, a researcher who "has discovered" those motets at present, and it brings forward a defense of "authenticity of manuscript copies" when dating, by approximation, the originals found in his collection through analysis of contents, according to Laurence Bardin¿s references (2011) about "informative clues" left on "notes" written in his transcriptions. The historical context ¿ based on authors out of the musical context nevertheless inside the artistic sphere such as Marcílio Lins Reinaux (1975) and Leonardo Dantas Silva (2011) ¿ guides the research to the locus, to the social environment and biography of the composer, as well as to the reasons about the creation of those works and their insertion within a Catholic religious ceremony called "Procession of the Stations", as described by Paulo Castagna (2000). The analytical research described here, without attempting to exhaust its future possibilities, makes an assessment of motets concerning of the meaning of the texts that compound them, expressed through the rhetorical-musical elements detected. The edition of the sheet music for logistical purposes in the development of the dissertation, attached to the end of the work, constitutes an important issue that will enable future performances and aims to make public the artistic works presented here / Mestrado / Fundamentos Teoricos / Mestre em Música
