Aristóteles enfrenta essa aporia em Metafísico Iota 2 e, segundo a interpretação que proponho, (a) recusa o modo Pitagorico-Platonico de conceber e propor princípios, (b) endossa o modo de proceder dos Fisiologos, e, ao fazê-lo, (c) retoma o "projeto" dos Fisiologos no ponto em que ele havia sido interrompido, a saber, durante a busca de um principio de movimento. A partir desse cenário, tentarei mostrar que o desfecho final da Décima Primeira Aporia pode consistir na introdução do Primeiro Motor como candidato propriamente aristotélico (e cosmológico) ao titulo de Um entre os princípios / Abstract: The Eleventh Aporia results from the breakup of the entire Greek philosophy previous to Aristotle in two manners of conceiving and proposing the first principles (archai), specially the One (to hen): (i) the manner by which Physiologoi conceived the One as a principle, namely, assuming an underlying nature, different from the One in itself, not adequately characterized by the simple fact of being one and which is denoted by the concept of One, and (ii) the manner inaugurated by the Pythagoreans and later endorsed by Plato, marked by the abandonment of the appeal to an underlying nature and by conceiving the One in itself (auto to hen) as a principle, depriving it of any connection with some reality not strictly characterized by being one. Aristotle faces this aporia in Metaphysics Iota 2 and, according to the interpretation I propose: (a) refuses the Pythagorean-Platonic manner of conceiving and proposing principles, (b) endorses the course of action of the Physiologoi, and, in doing so, (c) steps back and retakes the "project" of the Physiologoi at the point where it was interrupted, namely, during the search for a principle of motion. From this scenario, I will try to show that the final outcome of the Eleventh Aporia can be the introduction of the Prime Mover as the properly Aristotelian (and cosmological) candidate to the title of One between the principles / Doutorado / Filosofia / Doutor em Filosofia

My dissertation questions contemporary accounts of a transition from modern to global urbanization, as embedded in urban geography literature and in popular debates, policies, and urban planning practices in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. The dominant transition narrative argues that there has been a shift from forms of modern urbanization (localized, state-based transitions from rural to urban) to emergent and uncertain forms of global, even planetary, urbanization: that we live, for the first time in human history, in an urban world. These accounts claim, ultimately, that the spacetimes, forms, categories, and practices or experiences of urbanization have changed irrevocably, and that politics is changing with it. In other words, they offer what I call transition metanarratives of the spatiotemporality, ontology, epistemology, and phenomenology of both urbanization and politics. Despite these claims of radical transformations in urbanization and politics, the geographic and political imaginaries in these accounts rely on boundary practices that invoke distinctively modern arrangements. The patterns of progress and return that these boundary practices generate are characteristic of the aporia. An aporia is a line that, in the process of being drawn, simultaneous constitutes entities, categories, or concepts as mutually incompatible and jointly necessary (Derrida 1993). These entities can take the form of a traditional binary (rural/urban; nature/culture; local/global; whiteness/other), or of a presence and its limit (this body/that body; community/lack of community), or of what might be called the boundaries of authorization (spacetime, ontology, epistemology, phenomenology). In all cases, aporetic boundaries create inherently unstable relations that Foucault (2002: 371) characterizes as the “hiatus between the ‘and,’” the spatial gap and temporal pause within the dynamic of determination and redetermination. The instability of the aporetic hiatus generates a desire for sovereign security, even as it ensures that sovereignty is an impossible dream. My dissertation interprets development iii iv proposals and community plans in Kelowna as expressions of these patterns of aporetic boundary generation, degeneration, and regeneration. In the midst of this encounter with seemingly over-determined limits, the aporetic hiatus offers a productive site of under- determination, where the drive for the sovereign capacity to decide and determine is held, temporarily at least, in abeyance. I use local aesthetic productions – the ‘revitalization’ of the downtown main street; an artist’s residency/installation piece – to engage the hiatus as a site where the vulnerability of aporetic boundaries can be experienced not as threat but as possibility. Rather than a determinative politics of the alternative, the transition, or the escape, which reproduces dominant modern geographical and political boundaries as authoritative and inescapable, this aporetic hiatus opens modes of engaging with the unstable boundaries of politics, without the panicked return to sovereign decision- making. / Graduate / delacey@uvic.ca

A Bell in the Storm - Persistent unexplained pain and the language of the uncanny in the creative neurophenomenal reference is a doctoral work comprised of three parts. Part 1 is an exegesis Persistent unexplained pain and the language of the uncanny in the creative neurophenomenal reference; Part 2 is The Plays, A Bell in the Storm (produced by deckchair theatre in May, 2005) and the radio play To Fall Without Landing (produced by the Australian Broadcasting Commission for Radio National in October 2005); and, Part 3 the book of monochord poems, Secrets of the Driftwood.

This thesis investigates the relation between exception and governmentality in the critique of sovereignty. It considers exception and governmentality as an expression of the problem of sovereignty and argues that this problem is expressed both within the accounts of sovereignty that exception and governmentality articulate, as well as between them. Taking Michel Foucault and Carl Schmitt as the paradigmatic theorists of governmentality and exception, respectively, I engage in close readings of the texts in which these concepts are most thoroughly elaborated: Security, Territory, Population and Political Theology. These readings demonstrate that, despite their apparent differences, exception and governmentality cannot be differentiated from one another. The instability evident in Schmitt and Foucault’s concepts show that the relation between them is best characterized as aporetic. / Graduate / 0615 / 0616 / reganburles@gmail.com

Cette recherche vise dans un premier temps situ?es dans d'autres dialogues de Platon la survenance du terme anamn?sis ? veifique les points qui relient ces oeuvres ? clarifier la compr?hension d'un plus appropri? dans le M?non. Jetez-y aussi, quels sont les ?l?ments de la platonicienne th?orie de la connaissance sera reliant le dialogue afin de prouver que le M?non, qui est la question centrale aret?, garde un conflit dans la sophistique et la philosophie. Ce choc entre ce qui se passe papapep indirectement par l'interm?diaire de son M?non enseign?, et Socrates qui conteste la th?se de l'?thique et le relativisme ?pist?mologique. Nous voyons aussi, de quelle mani?re le dialogue est donn?e de prendre une voie d'acc?s au savoir qui est configur? comme s?rs, ? savoir an?mn?sis. L'interrogatoire de M?non depuis le d?but dans les appels d'enqu?ter ?ristique cet int?r?t, que lorsqu'ils sont confront?s ? des int?r?ts les am?nerait ? l'?tat apor?tique initial et qui est progressivement remplac? par l'aporie fondamental de connaissance, ce n'est point pour aporie la compr?hension de an?mnesis. En prenant la dialectique comme m?thode d'enqu?te dans le dialogue, il est n?cessaire de la part de Socrates et M?non, de quitter le didaskein et en profiter pour math?sis que la construction des connaissances. Il ouvre de mani?re un des principaux enjeux dans ce travail examine si le an?mnesis permettre l'acc?s aux moyens et si elle a un statut similaire ? mn?me. ? un moment o? Socrate explique dans le dialogue qui est le an?mnesis par monstration monstration fait avec esclave de M?non il est l'utilisation d'?l?ments mythiques que, selon notre analyse, permettre ? comprendre le sens de dialogue les connaissances qui montre l'opportunit? d'apprendre, qui est la an?mnesis / Esta disserta??o tem como principal objetivo analisar de que modo no M?non, Plat?o relaciona a an?mnesis a outras no??es que neste di?logo s?o discutidas e, deste modo, tentar compreender o que ela ? . Esta investiga??o visa inicialmente situar em outros di?logos plat?nicos a ocorr?ncia do termo an?mnesis para que verifique-se os aspectos que interligam estas obras a fim de precisar a compreens?o do sentido mais adequado no M?non. Verificar-se-? tamb?m, quais elementos da teoria do conhecimento plat?nica v?o se interligando no di?logo de modo a revelar que o M?non, que tem como quest?o central a aret?, resguarda um conflito entre a sof?stica e a filosofia. Tal embate acontece indiretamente entre G?rgias atrav?s do seu ensinado M?non, e S?crates que nega as teses do relativismo ?tico e epistemol?gico. Observamos tamb?m, de que forma se d? a assun??o de uma via de acesso ao conhecimento que se configura como mais segura, a saber, a an?mnesis. O questionamento de M?non desde o in?cio do di?logo nos instiga a inquirir esse interesse er?stico, que ao ser confrontado com os interesses socr?ticos levaria-os ao estado apor?tico inicial e que paulatinamente ? substitu?do pela aporia fundamental do conhecimento, esta aporia ? ponto de partida para a compreens?o da an?mnesis. Ao assumir-se a dial?tica como m?todo investigativo surge a necessidade por parte de S?crates e de M?non, de abandonar o didaskein e assumir a math?sis como possibilidade de constru??o do conhecimento. Abre-se assim uma das quest?es principais que este trabalho analisa, ? se a an?mnesis ? possibilidade acesso ?s Formas e se a mesma possui um estatuto similar a mn?me. No momento em que S?crates explicita no di?logo o que ? a an?mnesis, atrav?s da mostra??o feita com o escravo de M?non, h? a utiliza??o filos?fica de elementos m?ticos que, segundo nossa an?lise, permitem a compreens?o efetiva do sentido da constru??o dialogada do conhecimento que exterioriza o que se deseja aprender, ou seja: o que ? a an?mnesis

Carlo Michelstaedter's Persuasion and Rhetoric (1910) is one of best examples of what Massimo Cacciari calls the early twentieth century "metaphysics of youth." Persuasion and Rhetoric is the result of Michelstaedter's academic investigation on the concepts of "persuasion" and "rhetoric" in Plato and Aristotle. Michelstaedter saw in Plato's corpus the gradual abandonment of Parmenidean "being" and Socrates' dialogical philosophy. He reinterpreted the notions of "persuasion" and "rhetoric" terms of a radical dichotomy, using them to represent two opposed ontological modalities, two epistemological attitudes, and two existential alternatives. If "rhetoric" comprehends language, institutional knowledge, and all manifestations of empirical life, then "persuasion" is defined as the unity of the individual with Parmenidean being. Persuasion is an impossible choice: "lifeless life." Being a decisive alternative to rhetoric, persuasion - much like Platonic mania - can neither be articulated nor communicated. Nevertheless, Michelstaedter speaks, aware of his inevitable failure: he will not persuade anyone.
