O volume de literatura secundária sobre o conceito aristotélico de noûs produtivo é proporcional à brevidade e à obscuridade com que ele é apresentado no quinto capítulo do terceiro livro do \"De Anima\". Esta dissertação visa investigar as razões que fazem deste texto terreno fértil para as mais diversas interpretações. Para tanto, este estudo parte do comentário analítico de DA III 4-5, destacando as possibilidades interpretativas de cada passagem e as variantes textuais mais significativas. Procurou-se explorar outras passagens do corpus aristotélico que podem ser utilizadas para elucidar o conteúdo desses capítulos, considerando as opções adotadas pelos principais comentadores antigos. Após mostrar que o texto comporta igualmente as leituras mais díspares, buscou-se evidenciar como elementos extratextuais, tais como a filosofia e o método exegético predominante no tempo de cada interprete podem ser identificados nas opções adotadas. Para tanto, adotou-se a obra de Alexandre de Afrodísia como objeto de exposição e análise, uma vez que sua identificação do nous produtivo à Causa Primeira de Met. XII 7-9 é a mais influente e polêmica das exegeses deste conceito. Para tanto, foram apresentadas suas principais teses e contrastadas com a base textual aristotélica, de modo pôr em relevo as características do método do Exegeta. / The amount of secondary literature on the Aristotelian concept of productive nous is proportional to the briefness and obscurity of its presentation in the fifth chapter of the Book Three of the De Anima. This thesis aims to investigate the reasons why this text offers a fertile ground for the most varied interpretations. Therefore, this text begins with an analytical commentary on DA III 4-5, highlighting the interpretative possibilities and the most significant textual variants of each passage. We searched for other passages of the Aristotelian corpus that could help us elucidate the content of these chapters, considering the options adopted by the main ancient commentators. After showing how the text equally accepts the most disparate readings, we tried to evidence how extra-textual elements, such as the philosophy and exegetical method predominant in the time of each interpreter can are present in the adopted options. For this, the work of Alexander of Aphrodisias was adopted as object of exposition and analysis, since its identification of the productive nous to the First Cause of Met. XII 7-9 is the most influential and polemical exegesis of this concept. His main arguments were presented and contrasted with the Aristotelian textual background, to highlight the characteristics of the Exegete\'s methods.

What is political philosophy? Aristotle pursues that question by asking what the good is. If Nietzsche's postmodern diagnosis that modern philosophical rationalism has exhausted itself is true, it is unclear if an answer to that question is possible. Yet given the prevalence of extremist ideologies in 20th century politics, and the politically irresponsible support of philosophers for these ideologies, there is an urgent need for an answer. This thesis examines how, in these philosophical circumstances, Hannah Arendt, Leo Strauss, and Alasdair MacIntyre conclude that a key resource in the recovery of political philosophy, and in showing its contemporary relevance, lies in the recovery of Aristotle's political philosophy. This thesis contends that how and why Arendt, Strauss, and MacIntyre turn to Aristotle, and what they find in Aristotle, depends on their varying critiques of modernity. Convinced that the philosophical tradition is shattered irreversibly after the events of totalitarianism, Arendt argues for a retrieval of Aristotle and his understanding of politics from the fragments of that tradition. Strauss is impelled to turn to the political philosophy of Aristotle because of the crisis of radical historicism, to recover classical rationalism’s answer to what the good is. MacIntyre turns to Aristotle to find the moral justification for rejecting Stalinism that contemporary philosophical traditions fail to provide; he reconstructs an Aristotelian tradition that can answer the question of what the good is better than his contemporary rivals. Although these thinkers may appear disparate, this thesis argues that each addresses the question of what the good is by offering a vision of political philosophy as a way of life, which Aristotle helps form. This way of life probes the relationship between philosophy and politics as permanent problem for human existence. In recovering this tradition of thinking with Aristotle about the character of political philosophy, this thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of each of these thinkers, as well as to the practice of political philosophy in modern, post-Nietzschean times.

The aim of this thesis is to resurrect interest in the concept of power in political theory by shedding light on some of its relatively unexplored discursive dimensions and developing a fresh approach to its understanding. Particularly, it studies an under-examined theme in the current literature, which, however, forms a crucial aspect determining different definitions of power: in what manner do different ways of thinking about power underpin variable conceptual formulations and theoretical interpretations of this key political concept? What types of cognitive, ideational and conceptual 'micro-processes' shape different ways of thinking about power in political thought? The thesis suggests novel interpretative possibilities that may be distilled from developing a hermeneutical approach extending across the dimensions of historical time and disciplinary space, by combining methodological insights from the fields of morphology, intellectual history and interdisciplinary study. To that end, it engages perspectives gleaned from historical treatments of power, as well as recent understandings of spatiality and force provided by scientific discourse. The concept of power is explored through the perspectives of (i) cultural historicity and (ii) interdisciplinarity. Along the axis of cultural historicity, the analysis studies Aristotle's classical concept of 'dunamis' as the original conceptual modality of power in political thought. Along the axis of interdisciplinarity, the examination explores the concept of force in the discourse of physics, and its parallel development in political thought. This dissertation shows that the exploration of those conceptual modalities can yield a new appreciation of certain diachronic and contingent conceptual features of power and enhance our understanding of the multifaceted discursive processes through which those form, including the underpinning 'micro-semantic', linguistic and ideational processes which contribute to the emergence of variable modes of thinking about power. In so doing, the thesis aims at illuminating our modern understanding of the concept, moving the scholarly discourse forward towards new horizons of meaning and interpretation.

A presente dissertação visa analisar os conceitos de mimesis e tragédia nas diferentes abordagens dos filósofos Platão e Aristóteles. O problema principal que condiciona a análise é a relação entre, de um lado, as obras de arte e, de outro, a realidade e os juízos morais. Esse problema é estudado através de uma análise dos principais textos nos quais os respectivos filósofos elaboraram suas reflexões sobre o tema, a saber, os livros II-III e X da República de Platão e A Poética de Aristóteles. Nessas diferentes obras vemos progressivamente a elaboração da primeira reflexão ocidental sobre a atividade artística em geral, com ênfase especial sobre a poesia trágica. A polêmica platônica em torno da mimesis e da tragédia tem por objetivo servir de pano de fundo para a compreensão da tese aristotélica de que a ação poética é distinta da ação tal como estruturada na vida, e, isso, em função da prioridade “ontológica” concedida à ação trágica com relação aos caracteres. A tese platônica relativa à arte, é de que a mimesis está na origem da perversão da alma intelectiva e racional capaz de estabelecer a verdade a partir da rememoração da Forma transcendente. Como a tragédia é a imitação da aparência visível das coisas, o que o poeta faz é absorver a coisa sensível em uma imagem parcial, isto é, um pequeno pedaço da coisa, visto que ela, quando sustentada unicamente pela posição do olhar do artista, estilhaça-se em uma multiplicidade cambiante de imagens que essa mesma coisa pode fornecer. É apenas a Forma transcendente que pode bloquear essa proliferação incessante de imagens que distorcem a imagem absoluta das virtudes e da verdade. Ao contrário, em Aristóteles, não vemos nada dessa redução da intriga (mythos) trágica aos conceitos discursivos ou aos valores estáveis éticos. Ao estabelecer o mythos como princípio formal da tragédia, Aristóteles subordina as demais partes constituintes da tragédia à ação enquanto disposição dos fatos em sistema. Assim, caracteres, discursos racionalmente articulados, espetáculo, etc., situam-se em uma posição secundária e subordinada correspondente ao princípio material, deixando-se, dessa maneira, determinar-se pela estrutura simultaneamente lógica e emocional da tragédia. Isso tem como consequência interditar a redução e a imobilização da tragédia em juízos morais enfáticos. / This thesis aims to analyze the concepts of mimesis and tragedy in the different approaches of the philosophers Plato and Aristotle. The main problem which makes the analysis is the relationship between, on one hand, works of art and, on the other, reality and moral judgments. This problem is studied through an analysis of texts in which their philosophers developed their thoughts on the subject, namely, books II-III and X of Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Poetics. In these various works gradually we build the first Western reflection on the artistic activity in general, with special emphasis on the tragic poetry. The controversy around the Platonic mimesis and tragedy aims to serve as the backdrop for understanding the Aristotelian view that the action as structured in life is distinct from the poetic action, and this, according to the priority "ontological" given the tragic action in relation to the characters. The Platonic theory on art is that mimesis is the origin of the perversion of the intellect and rational able to establish the truth from the transcendent form of remembrance. As the tragedy is the imitation of the visible appearance of things, what the poet does is absorb the sensible thing in a partial image, ie, a small piece of it, since she sustained only when the position of the artist's eye, shatters into a multiplicity changing images that that same thing can provide. In the transcendent Form is assigned the role of this interdict ceaseless proliferation of images that distort the image absolute virtues and truth. In contrast, in Aristotle, we see nothing that reduction of the tragic plot (mythos) to the concepts or discursive ethical values stable. In establishing the mythos as a formal principle of tragedy, Aristotle makes the other constituent parts of the tragedy to action as the facts available in the system. Thus, characters, speeches rationally articulated, performance, etc., lie in a secondary and subordinate position corresponding to the material principle, leaving themselves in this way be determined by the tragic structure both logical and emotional. This has the effect of banning the reduction and immobilization of the tragedy in emphatic moral judgments.

Esta dissertação analisa uma série de crônicas de autoria de Cecília Meireles publicadas entre 1930 e 1933 no jornal Diário de Notícias da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Além de contribuir para a compreensão do movimento escolanovista brasileiro desenvolvido entre os anos de 1920 e o início da década de 1930, o trabalho tem por objetivo investigar nos textos da autora a presença das paixões, segundo a caracterização feita por Aristóteles na Retórica, como componentes emocionais que determinam o caráter persuasivo de um discurso. Seguindo os parâmetros metodológicos adotados pelo Grupo de Pesquisa Retórica e Argumentação na Pedagogia, o trabalho apresenta Cecília Meireles como oradora habilitada a discorrer sobre questões escolares. As paixões são organizadas em duas categorias: a positiva, formada por confiança, emulação, tranquilidade, benevolência, amor, compaixão e pudor; e a negativa, constituída por temor, desprezo, cólera, inveja, ódio, indignação e despudor. O trabalho evidencia que Cecília Meireles utilizava as paixões positivas para se referir ao que estivesse em concordância com a Escola Nova e as paixões negativas para tratar de ideias e realizações contrárias ao escolanovismo. / This dissertation examines a series of chronicles by Cecília Meireles published between 1930 and 1933 in Diário de Notícias Daily News , a newspaper from Rio de Janeiro city. In addition to contributing to the comprehension of Brazilian New School movement developed between the 1920s and early 1930s, the work investigates the presence of passions in Meireless texts; according Aristotles Rhetoric, passions are emotional components that determine the persuasiveness of a speech. Following the methodological parameters adopted by Rhetoric and Argumentation in Pedagogy Research Group, the work presents Cecilia Meireles as a \"speaker\" able to approach school issues. The passions are organized into two categories: the \"positive\" are formed by confidence, emulation, tranquility, grace, love, compassion and decency; and the \"negative\" consist of fear, contempt, anger, jealousy, hatred, indignation and shamelessness. The paper concludes that Cecilia Meireles used the \"positives\" passions to refer those who were in agreement with the New School and the \"negatives\" to discuss ideas and accomplishments contrary to New School.

La présente thèse se propose de réfléchir sur le caractère cinétique de la méthode analogique adopté dans le De motu animalium d’Aristote. En considèrant que l'objet du traité est la cause commune du mouvement et qu'Aristote en adopte une solution du type paradigmatique, d'une manière générale l'automotricité est le thème pendant que le membre articulé est le phore dans le raisonnement analogique du DMA. Nous considérons hypothétiquement que les stratégies plastiques sont le fil conducteur du raisonnement suivi par la recherche de la cause commune de la motricité pour tout mouvement. Notre double objectif général est, d’une part de tirer les acquis philosophiques sur le caractère immanent du principe du mouvement de la recherche menée dans le DMA et, d’autre part de percevoir le caractère cinétique et plastique de sa démarche, qui comporte des procédés méthodologiques dynamiques dans le but de s’adapter à l’objet. Ce que nous faisons en deux pas : premièrement par l’analyse des étapes de l’établissement du paradigme du membre articulé ; et en suite par l’analyse de l’analogie entre le membre articulé et l’automotricité animée. Les deux analyses visent saisir des éléments pour confronter les deux termes de l'analogie et vérifier la validité de toute la thèse et de la considération selon laquelle, la méthode analogique est un l'instrument plastique de la pensée de l'immanence. / This thesis proposes to reflect on the kinetic character of the analogical method adopted in De Motu Animalium of Aristotle. Considering that the object of the treatise is the common cause of the movement of animais, in general, automotricity is the "thème" while the articulated member is the ''phore" in De Motu's analogical reasoning. Hypothetically we consider that the plastic strategies of the analogical method of De motu are the guiding thread of the reasoning undertaken in the research on the common cause of the motility of ail animal movements. Our general double aim is: on the one hand, to take philosophical acquisitions on the immanent character of the principle of movement, and on the other hand, to grasp the kinetic and plastic character of this philosophical enterprise, which involves dynamic methodological procedures in view of the adaptation of the method to the object. We seek to achieve these objectives through two analyses: first, the analysis of the stages of the establishment of the articulated member paradigm (AMP), and then the analysis of the main analogy of the treatise, between the articulated limb and the animated automotricity. Through the two analyses we must gather the necessary elements to confront the two tenns of the main analogy, as well as to verify the general validity of the thesis and also the consideration according to which the analogical method of De Motu Animalium is a plastic instrument of the thought of immanence.

A perennial question in the philosophy of history is whether history is a science or an art. This thesis contests that this question constitutes a false dichotomy, limiting the discussion in such a way as to exclude other possibilities of understanding the nature of the historical task. The speculative philosophies of Augustine, Kant, and Marx; the critical philosophies of Ranke, Comte along with the later positivist, and the historical idealist such as Collingwood will be surveyed. History is then examined along side art to discuss not only the similarities but, the differences. Major similarities—narrative presentation, emplotation, and the selective nature of historical evidence—between history and fiction are critiqued. A word study of the Greek word ίστοριά will show the essential difference between history and literature. The essential nature of the historical task can best be revealed in the differences between history and art.

A SURVEY OF THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN ETHICS AND POLITICS WITH AN ARISTOTELIAN APPRAISAL &Ccedil / elik, Sinan Kadir Ph.D., Department of Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Ahmet &amp / #272 / nam March 2010, 189 pages In the history of philosophy, ethics and politics have either been considered as two unrelated, irreducible realms or as identical to each other. In the thesis the historical transformation of the problematic relation between ethics and politics is critically evaluated. It is argued that from the emergence of the conflict in Ancient Greece following the &ldquo / Socratic ideal&rdquo / to the modern attempt for its resolution by the &ldquo / Machiavellian revolution,&rdquo / the prominent theories developed for dealing with the problem have defined politics as an amoral practice, as a science, a technique or an art. An alternative Aristotelian approach is tried to be developed so as to elucidate the nature of the distinction between ethics and politics. According to this view, ethics and politics can neither be strictly separated from each other nor be reduced into one another. The Aristotelian conception of politike as &ldquo / philosophy of human affairs&rdquo / has ethical, practical and technical dimensions. The thesis tries to clarify at which point ethics and politics should be conceived as two different practices and at which point they cannot be treated as independent from each other. Hence, the present study aims to determine the peculiarities and the strong sides of Aristotelian practical philosophy in order to offer an alternative to resolve the problem under consideration.
