Regarding this, it takes as object the religious thinkers Franz Rosenzweig, Sören A. Kierkegaard and the wise man Qohelet, of the Old Testament, whose reflections indicate the presence of angst. The hypothesis that guides this work is that, in these thinkers, this presence, due to the relationship with the transcendent, manifests itself as conceptual tension which produces knowledge. In view of this hypothesis, the intention is to discuss the possibility of building knowledge from religion itself. Angst, then, is the affection that, in these authors, indicates a tension between immanence and transcendence, realizing the human finitude and the infinite possibility, the absolute lack of meaning and the establishment of a multiplicity of meanings. It is a productive agony that serves as hard task in the search for knowledge. Giving priority to the subjectivity and the concreteness of the existence, the authors here worked make an effort to understand the human being, unique is his or her suffering. The angst as key for thinking about the human condition is born from the perception of its own aporia, discovery starting from the first inquiry about the meaning of life / Essa tese estuda a angústia como conceito filosófico religioso ao lado da importância do pensador religioso como método de compreensão da religião. Para isso, toma como objeto os pensadores religiosos Franz Rosenzweig, Sören A. Kierkegaard e o sábio Qohelet, do Antigo Testamento, cujas reflexões indicam a presença da angústia. A hipótese que norteia este trabalho é que, nesses pensadores, esta presença, devido à relação com o transcendente, manifesta-se como tensão conceitual produtora de conhecimento. Face a essa hipótese, a intenção é discutir a possibilidade de construção do conhecimento a partir da própria religião. A angústia, então, é o afeto que, nestes autores, indica uma tensão entre a imanência e transcendência, entre a constatação da finitude humana e a possibilidade infinita, entre a falta de sentido absoluta e a constatação da multiplicidade de sentidos. Uma agonia produtiva que serve de árdua tarefa na busca do conhecimento. Priorizando a subjetividade e a concretude da existência, os autores aqui trabalhados se esforçam para compreender o humano que é único em seu sofrimento. A angústia como chave de pensamento sobre a condição humana nasce da percepção da própria aporia, descoberta a partir da indagação primeira sobre o sentido da vida

Jean-Baptiste Bodoni (1740-1813) est l’un des imprimeurs les plus célèbres du monde occidental et, pour l’Italie, le dernier représentant de la « Typographie d’Ancien Régime » en même temps que le premier des « modernes ». Il a en effet été le dernier capable de dessiner, graver et fondre lui-même ses caractères, tout en exerçant conjointement l’imprimerie et la librairie. Après lui, l’industrialisation du livre commence : les activités qu'il réunissait dans son entreprise, selon la tradition remontant à la naissance de l’imprimerie, se scindèrent sans retour, tandis que la production imprimée s’adressait désormais à la fois à des marchés plus vastes et à des publics différents et plus larges. Les tirages de masse s'accompagnèrent d'une baisse de la qualité et d'une plus grande banalité du style. Grâce à Angelo Pezzana, directeur de la Bibliothèque de Parme au XIXème siècle, les outils utilisés par Bodoni pour fabriquer les caractères, mais aussi ses archives et une collection complète des volumes produits par son atelier, ont été conservés jusqu’à nos jours. Il est donc possible de reconstruire la vie de Bodoni, en insistant notamment sur ses rapports avec les cours d’Europe et avec le marché de la bibliophilie, sur les conditions et les pratiques de travail dans la fonderie de caractères et dans l’imprimerie, et sur la genèse des ouvrages les plus célèbres. La fortune qui a été la sienne remonte aux décennies qui suivent sa disparition et se prolonge jusqu’à aujourd’hui, où les caractères Bodoni sont utilisés dans les graphismes publicitaires et dans les revues, ainsi que pour les marques de mode. Ils sont, toujours, des symboles de l’élégance, de la simplicité, et en même temps du luxe et de l’italianité. / Giambattista Bodoni (1740-1813) is one of the most famous printers of the western world and, for Italy, the last representative of the "Ancien Régime Typography" at the same time as the first "modern". It has indeed been able to make his own characters while exercising together printing and book trade. After him, the industrialization of the book begins: the activities he met in his company, according to tradition dating back to the birth of printing, divided without return, while print production is now addressed to both larger markets and different and wider audiences. Mass prints were accompanied by a decline in quality and of greater banality of style. With Angelo Pezzana, director of the Library of Parma in the nineteenth century, the tools used by Bodoni for making type, but also its archives and a complete collection of volumes produced by his typography, have been preserved until today. It is therefore possible to reconstruct Bodoni of life, with particular emphasis on its relations with the courts of Europe and the market for bibliophile, on the conditions and labor practices in the foundry of characters and in printing, and the genesis of the most famous works. His fortune follow his death and continues until today, where Bodoni characters are used in graphics and for publications and magazines, as well as for fashion brands. They are always, symbols of elegance, simplicity, and at the same time of the luxury and of the Italian style.

This thesis explores the role of Quaker women in science in an attempt to arrive at some understanding of what motivated Quaker women in nineteenth century America to go into the sciences. George Fox founded the Society of Friends in the mid-seventeenth century in England and the Quaker theology centered on the concept of the Inner Light, which is the idea that everyone has the capacity to perceive, recognize, and respond to God. Following their Inner Light to find God, Quakers also referred to themselves as "seekers of truth." Additionally, Quakers have believed since their inception in the equality between men and women. Given the Quaker desire to pursue truth and their belief that women have the same capacity to do so as men, it is not surprising that there were a number of Quaker women in science. Through an examination of three Quaker women in science, I discuss the Quaker influences in their lives and works with the larger goal of demonstrating the inherent connections that exist between Quaker theology and the pursuit of science in the nineteenth century. One such connection lies within the tradition of natural theology, which was prevalent in the larger scientific community in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The connection that is unique to Quakers, though, relates to their idea of the search for truth, which led many Quakers to employ scientific methods. The three Quaker women examined in this study, astronomer Maria Mitchell, naturalist Graceanna Lewis, and medical doctor Ann Preston, were all truth-seekers in some sense who wanted to find evidence of God's work within nature. / Graduation date: 2005

The subject of this dissertation is W. H. Auden's use of the Jungian psychology of individuation and the Kierkegaardian theology of existence. Its purpose is to demonstrate the importance of Jungian and Kierkegaardian thought in poetry written during 1939 through 1942, the first four years of Auden's residency in the United States and the first four years of his return to the church. The purpose is achieved by applying a paradigm encompassing both psychology and theology to an analysis of Jungian and Kierkegaardian thought in the principal sonnets of "The Quest" and to a detailed explication of two longer poems, New Year Letter and For the Time Being.

Die Eigentlichkeit trifft auf eine eigene Existenz zu, in der das Individuum seine eigenen Entscheidungen nimmt und macht. Die Wahrheit ist eine Wahrheit für es. Der Mann, der eine eigene Existenz hat, handelt nach seinem Willen. Durch die Stücke von Ibsen, insbesondere Nora, die Puppenheim, Der Volkesfeind und die Damem des Meeres, sucht man Spuren einer Existenz zu finden, die sich selbst stimmen kann. Als einer der Vorläufer des modernen Dramas, zeigt Ibsen in seiner Werken die menschliche Konflikte, die Spannung zwischen Subjektivität und Objektivität, zwischen individuellen Wünsche und das moralische Gesetz. Infolgedessen durchquert das Thema der Eigenltichkeit in größe Teil seiner Dramaturgie. Damit wird die Kierkegaards Philosophie benutzen, weil Kierkegaard, mit der Definition der Enkelte, zur Formulierung der moderne Begriff des Individuums beitragt. Der Enkelte ist das Individuum, im das Ich durchgeführt ist. Die Arbeit findet ihre Einheit im gemeinsamen thematischen Fond, denn die Texten beitragen zur Diskussion über die Möglichkeit einer eigenen, treuen und echten Existenz. Wie bereits erwähnt, diese Diskussion passt in die heutige Debatte über den Tod des Subjektes / O presente trabalho tem como tema o conceito de existência autêntica (Eigentlichkeit). A autenticidade refere-se a uma existência verdadeira, na qual o indivíduo assume e faz escolhas próprias. A verdade é uma verdade em relação a si. O homem que possui uma existência autêntica age de acordo com a sua vontade. Busca-se, mediante uma análise dos dramas de Ibsen, mais precisamente as peças Casa de Boneca, O inimigo do povo e a Dama do mar, encontrar traços de uma existência capaz de determinar a si mesma. Considerado um dos precursores do teatro moderno, Ibsen ressalta em suas peças os conflitos humanos, a tensão entre a subjetividade e a objetividade, entre os desejos individuais e as leis morais. Com efeito, o tema da autenticidade perpassa grande parte de sua dramaturgia. Diante deste cenário conceitual, utilizar-se-á a filosofia elaborada por Kierkegaard. Kierkegaard contribui para a formulação do conceito moderno de indivíduo com a sua definição do Enkelte, que é o indivíduo no qual o Eu está realizado. Embora de autores distintos, o trabalho encontra a sua unidade diante do fundo temático comum, pois são textos que contribuem para a discussão da possibilidade de uma existência verdadeira, fiel a si mesma. Como se observa, a presente discussão insere-se dentro do debate contemporâneo sobre a morte do sujeito

Concentrando nossa análise no período da amizade existente entre Nietzsche e Wagner, período este que coincide com a produção filosófica do jovem Nietzsche, a saber, de 1869 a 1876, o objetivo de nossa análise é buscar elementos presentes no pensamento de ambos que possibilitaram a aproximação e o desenvolvimento de amizade entre eles. Neste sentido, a crítica à cultura moderna, o elogio ao mundo grego, a influência do romantismo e a filosofia de Schopenhauer aparecem como pontos de apoio que alicerçaram a construção desta amizade / The present text treats the relationship between the young Friedrich Nietzsche and the expert composer and essayist Richard Wagner.

Qual é a base do pensamento subjetivo? Há uma cisão irrecuperável entre essas duas formas de pensar? Poderiam ambas ajudar-se mutuamente? A objetividade não foi, ao longo dos anos, confundida com objetivismo? Subjetividade não foi confundida com subjetivismo, arbitrariedade ou mera vontade individual? Pensando nessas questões- e no conflito entre subjetividade e objetividade desenvolvo nessa dissertação um estudo de tal temática baseando-me na obra de Kierkegaard (1813-1855). Para a realização de tal tarefa, analiso especialmente o Post-Scriptum, relacionando-o com algumas outras obras suas e pseudônimos do pensador dinamarquês. A relação entre subjetividade e objetividade em Kierkegaard se esclarece através da sua concepção das figuras de Sócrates e Cristo. O pensador grego e Cristo- a suma imagem do mistério- são tomados como exemplos de subjetividade, a despeito de suas diferenças. Nessa pesquisa, três outros autores são de importância capital para Kierkegaard: Hegel, Lessing e Feuerbach. Hegel não figura apenas como oponente de Kierkegaard. Tal oposição kierkegaardiana foi tratada como uma estratégia no contexto geral de suas obras. O pensador dinamarquês também não defende uma subjetividade que pode ser confundida com qualquer espécie de subjetivismo, desprezando a objetividade. A leitura kierkegaardiana da figura de Lessing é bastante relacionada ao fato desse pensador ter trabalhado exaustivamente o confronto entre fé e razão. O Post-Scriptum de Kierkegaard será muito influenciado por uma carta de Lessing intitulada Sobre a demonstração em espírito e força. Feuerbach representa, no pensamento kierkegaardiano, uma espécie de adversário declarado e aliado involuntário. Este estudo mostra como Kierkegaard concorda com muitas das teses materialistas de Feuerbach acerca do cristianismo e afirma que este tem uma compreensão verdadeira do cristianismo, coisa que nem os pastores da cristandade luterana da Dinamarca, nem os filósofos sistemáticos conhecem. O Post-Scriptum também é fortemente influenciado por algumas das teses da Essência do Cristianismo de Feuerbach. Com essas delimitações e especificidade- a dissertação se propõe a estudar o debate entre subjetividade e objetividade no pensamento de Kierkegaard, contribuindo para um debate importantíssimo da história do pensamento filosófico ocidental / Abstract: What does objective thinking consist or? What is the foundation of subjective thinking? Is there a irreconcilable schism between these two ways of thinking? Could they complement each other? Wasn't objectivity for many years confused with objectivism? Wasn't subjectivity merely confused with arbitrary decisions or individual willingness; that is, the so-called subjectivism? Based on the work of Kierkegaard's (1813-1855) this dissertation explores the subjectivity/objectivity conflict. In order to achieve this goal, Kierkegaard's Post-Scriptum is analyzed in connection with other works of the Danish thinker. The subjectivity/objectivity relationship becomes clear in Kierkegaard's work through his analysis of Socrates and Christ, whereby, in spite of their differences, the Greek thinker and Christ are shown as examples of subjectivity. In this piece of research three other authors are of crucial importance for Kierkegaard: Regel, Lessing and Feuerbach. Regel is not only Kierkegaard's opponent. Such kierkegaardian position should be better analyzed and seen as a strategic stance in general context of his work. The Danish thinker does not support a kind of subjectivity which could be confused with any kind of subjectivism either. He does not despise objectivity. Kierkegaard's position with respect to Lessing is strongly related to the fact that the German thinker thoroughly explores the confTontation between faith and reason. Kierkegaard's Post-Scriptum will be greatly influenced by a letter of Lessing's entitled: Demonstration spirit and strength. Feuerbach is, in kierkegaardian's thinking, at the same time a kind of declared adversary and involuntary allied. This piece of research shows how the kierkegaardian position agrees with many of Feuerbach's materialistic theses conceming Christianity and also agreewith his true analysis of the Christianity. Kierkegaard considerers these theses better than the position of the Danish Luther ministers and the sistematic philosophers. The Post-Scriptum is also strongly influenced by some of Feuerbach's theses on the Essence of Christianity. This dissertation studies- within carefully described constraints and levels of specificity- the debate between subjectivity and objectivity in Kierkegaard's thinking. It is hoped that this work will be a small contribution to the crucial debate in the history of westem philosophical thinking / Mestrado / Mestre em Filosofia

As Written presents an investigation of selected literary configurations of musical ineffability in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By putting literary parables into constellation with media technologies and texts from philosophy, critical theory, aesthetics, and media theory, the dissertation seeks to better understand the ways in which literature engages, discloses, disrupts, and determines musical discourse at times of aesthetic, political, and technological shift. The dissertation begins by establishing the “cryptographic” ineffable that emerges in early German Romanticism through readings of Novalis. These readings suggest this formulation of ineffability to arise out of an instrumentalization of instrumental music that emphasizes the symbolic relations of musical notation over music’s sound—this in service of a literary and philosophical project that strives to transcend its own medial and epistemological limits. Subsequent chapters will analyze alternative configurations of ineffability in writings by Richard Wagner, Theodor Adorno, Thomas Mann, and Helmut Lachenmann, but vestiges of this “originary” Romantic configuration will remain. Indeed, while the literary texts analyzed in these later chapters will respond to the medial, technical, and technological developments of their historical contexts, more than merely disclosing discursive formulations of musical ineffability, they, like Novalis’ Heinrich von Ofterdingen, will be shown to enact these formulations in forms of linguistic, sonic, and material absence through their complex narratologies and poetologies. How, this dissertation will ask, might literature’s ability to accommodate changing contexts in these configurations ultimately suggest musical ineffability as a conduit through which a music-discursive tradition that emerges in literature around 1800 is able to preserve itself into the twentieth century?
