La presente investigación tiene como propósito analizar la relación entre estética e idealismo en la filosofía de Schopenhauer. Para ello, se analiza primero la relación entre la epistemología y la metafísica schopenhaueriana. Allí, analizamos las bases y criterios cognitivos propuestos por Schopenhauer de cara a la posibilidad y sentido de su metafísica. Argumentamos que el argumento central del idealismo se completa en la metafísica a través del análisis del sujeto de conocimiento en el devenir de la naturaleza como objetivación de la Voluntad. En vista de ello, sostenemos que falta un punto de conexión intuitivo entre ambas teorías y que, dicho punto de conexión lo provee la experiencia estética. La estética de Schopenhauer es analizada en función de la actividad cognitiva del sujeto como una actividad constitutiva del mundo y las representaciones entre las que se cuenta la Idea platónica. En ese sentido, entendemos la doctrina metafísica de la estética de Schopenhauer como complemento y compleción del análisis trascendental de la experiencia, y las Ideas como una bisagra o conexión entre la representación y la Voluntad. El filosofar o la reflexión filosófica de Schopenhauer es expuesta como una consideración estética, más no estetizante, del mundo. / Tesis

The commissariat was the main economic drivers in the colonial economy between 1788 and 1835. It is not frequently discussed in the literature and it was Professor N. G. Butlin who challenged economic historians to write the story of the commissariat in operation. This thesis relates the story of the role and operations of the commissariat in colonial NSW. The commissariat filled many roles, ranging from government store, to financial services provider and a quasi-treasury. It was the main purchaser of local production from local settlers, and offered a novel and creative 'barter system' by exchanging store receipts for goods and services received from local settlers

Ce mémoire vise à comprendre et à analyser en détail, s'il y a, chez Schopenhauer, une possible forme de liberté. Nous examinerons en quoi la liberté ne peut être appliquée aux trois règnes du vivant (inorganique, organique, animal) que notre philosophe nous présente. Nous montrerons que l'homme entretient malgré tout un rapport particulier avec la liberté, puisqu'il possède, au contraire des autres vivants, une raison lui permettant la création de concepts ainsi que, d'autre part, la capacité d'imagination. Nous développerons l'importance du concept de Volonté et de la façon dont celle-ci détermine les actions humaines. Après ces considérations, il en ressortira que l'homme peut tout de même dans certains cas, par différents moyens et à des degrés divers, minimiser l'emprise qu'a la Volonté sur lui pour ainsi atteindre, à tout le moins, des moments de liberté. Schopenhauer développe trois voies possibles de libération : la contemplation esthétique, la pitié et l'ascèse. Le point fondamental de ce mémoire sera donc d'expliquer en détail chacune de ces voies ouvertes à l'homme.

Written in memory of the first women convicts transported to Botany Bay, this unthinkable history, a concept posed by the historian, Paul Carter, is an experiment in extending the boundaries of academic remembering, so that the complex lives of those resilient women might be given recognition. Researching the women??s lives required an ethnographic method, or ??spatialized?? history, based on original archival research, together with research of rituals, art, literature, newspapers and music; and, importantly, the laws which circumscribed their behaviour. A research focus was thus the administration of criminal codes and the character of prominent judges, including the significance of the Recorder of London. Theories of history based on the work of philosophers such as Heidegger, Deleuze, Guattari, Derrida, Foucault and the ethical philosopher, Wyschogrod, with her feminist perspective, have influenced narrative themes and tropes. This experimental hybridization of historical methods and the poetics of fiction might be classified as ficto-critical historiography, where ficto-critical functions as an epithet, not a polarity, as is the case with ficto-historiography and the coinage, faction. As a meditation on the ??maybe?? of historiography, the experiment enters the debates about the relationship between history and fiction and the significance of remembering. The incompleteness of records, their silences and partialities, the forensic reading required to contextualize them, the perspective from which the narrative is told, together with the metaphorical levels of all writing, are explicitly acknowledged. Fundamental to that acknowledgement is the narrative trope of simulacra. The narrative figures are thus copies without originals; they are an acknowledgement of the absence which haunts memories, while avoiding scepticism or relativity. The semi-omniscient, intrusive voice of the narrator, the dialogic placement of other ??voices??, variously contrary, affirmative, informative or philosophical; together with the acknowledged artifice of narrative dramatizations in which the figures are assembled from multiple sources, are important elements in the grammar of this transgressive act of remembering with its footnotes and phantoms.

Procuraremos investigar em que medida o tema da morte pode ter servido de motivação, de gérmen à sua especulação filosófica, bem como seu entrelaçamento com o do amor, como impulso gerador da vida. Interessa-nos também o tratamento naturalístico e ético que Schopenhauer dá ao tema amor e morte: primeiramente ele empenha-se para dar uma imagem naturalista dos problemas tratados em Metafísica do Amor e Metafísica da Morte, mas logo ele torna claro que o problema é de ordem ética, contexto em que se apóia fortemente na literatura védica. Neste sentido, investigaremos também como Schopenahuer articula as Ciências Naturais e seus estudos dos Vedas / The present research project aims at analysing the role played by the themes „love“ and „death“ in the context of schopenhauerian philosophy as a whole, by means of a close investigation of the development of Schopenhauer’s refletions on both themes since the beginnings of his philosophycal efforts. We shall try to determine in what measure may the theme of death have worked as first motivation and as an “original seed” for his philosophical especulations, as well as this theme’s profound imbrication with that of love, understood as life generating impulse. We are also interrested in both the naturalistic and the ethical approaches presented by Schopenhauer reflections on love and death. On the one hand, he gives us a naturalistic account of the mentioned problems, but soon, in the other hand, he leaves it clear that these problems have also an ethical dimension. In his explorations of that dimension, his thinking appears to be heavily supported by vedic philosophy. Thus, we shall also investigate how does Schopenhauer menage to articulate nature sciences and his vedic studies
