Apesar de o autor não mais viver em Viena durante o período de elaboração do livro, assumimos que o contexto cultural vienense é uma fecunda chave para sua elucidação. O ponto de partida é a caracterização de três crises que marcaram Viena em torno de 1900: i) uma crise dos valores, configurada pelo crescente descrédito de todos os pilares da vida social vienense; ii) uma crise do sujeito, delineada no momento em que a unidade do eu foi colocada em dúvida, ou seja, um instante em que se acreditou que tal noção não remetia a nada que ultrapassasse um feixe de sensações e experiências transitórias; iii) uma crise da linguagem, marcada pelo questionamento dos meios intelectual e artístico vienenses sobre a capacidade de a linguagem expressar a realidade e os sentimentos inerentes ao sujeito. Procuramos mostrar que o Tractatus, de acordo com sua ordem de exposição, pode oferecer uma resposta para cada uma dessas crises, a saber: a demarcação dos limites da linguagem; a afirmação da existência de um sujeito solipsista ou metafísico, cuja existência se manifesta como um ponto sem extensão fora do mundo e cuja vontade instaura a linguagem; a defesa de uma unidade que perpassa a ética e a estética, definidas como atitudes transcendentais que, respectivamente, permitem ao sujeito expandir ou minguar os limites do mundo como um todo e expressar o mundo visto sub specie aeternitatis. / Abstract: This work aims to trace the relations between Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and the cultural crises of fin-de-siècle Vienna. Although the author no longer lived in Vienna at the time of elaboration of his book, we assume that the Viennese cultural context is a fruitful key for its understanding. Our starting point is the characterization of three crises that marked Vienna in 1900: i) a crisis of values, represented by the increasing discredit regarding all Viennese social life pillars; ii) a crisis of the subject, delineated when the unit of the "I" was put in doubt, that is, at the moment such notion was believed not to exceed a beam of sensations and transitory experiences; iii) a crisis of language, marked by the questioning by intellectual and artistic Viennese milieu of language's capacity in express the inherent reality and feelings of the subject. We aim to show that the Tractatus, in accordance with its order of exposition, can offer an answer for each of these crises, that is to say, the demarcation of the limits of language; the affirmation of the solipsist or metaphysical subject's existence, which shows itself as a point without extension out of the world and whose will establishes the language; the defense of a unit across the ethics and the aesthetic domains, defined as transcendental attitudes that allow the subject, respectively, to expand or to decrease the limits of the world as a whole and to express the world seen sub specie aeternitatis. / Doutorado / Doutor em Filosofia

[pt] Entre 1911 e 1937, o escritor austríaco Robert Musil publicou ensaios com regularidade em algumas das principais revistas e jornais literários em língua alemã. A análise desse conjunto de textos permite reconhecer na trajetória do escritor não apenas a transformação do seu pensamento, mas também a dilatação da ideia do ensaio, de um modelo literário, para ensaísmo, um paradigma para ação. Esse processo ganha corpo nos anos 1920, quando começa a escrever O Homem sem Qualidades, no qual os impasses da modernidade são encenados através personagens, enredos circunstâncias. Não há, contudo, uma saída, uma solução. Levar a sério a postura ensaística significa, afinal, viver em acordo com essa incompletude. Musil, o autor que um dia esteve entre os mais promissores de sua geração, morre esquecido no exílio, escrevendo diariamente um livro que não poderia ter fim. Combinando a leitura da experiência biográfica com a ideia de aspiração, a ideia da tese é propor o fracasso como uma chave de leitura da obra de ensaística do escritor. / [en] Between 1911 and 1937 Musil regularly published essays in some of the leading magazines and literary journals in German. The analysis of this set of texts allows us to recognize in the path of the writer not only the transformation of his thought but the expansion of the idea of the essay from a literary model to a paradigm for action. This process matured in the 1920s, when he began to write The Man without Qualities, in which the impasses of modernity are staged through characters, tangled in particular circumstances. There is, however, no way out, no solution. Taking the essay position seriously means, after all, living in accordance with this incompleteness. Musil, the author who was once among the most promising of his generation, dies forgotten in exile, writing a book that could never have an end. Combining the reading of the biographical experience with the idea of aspiration, the idea of the thesis is to propose the failure as a key of reading of the essayist work of the writer.

In this study, administrative reform in the EU accession process was analysed with reference to the cases of Hungary and Turkey. The main goal of this study is to show that both objective (economy) and subjective (politics) factors are important and acceding countries to have room to manoeuvre in the context of the social-liberal framework of the EU. To this end, necessary causality between neoliberal administrative reform and EU accession, and determinism in the enlargement process, which leaves no room to manoeuvre for candidate countries, are denied. In conclusion, it is seen that since there is no public administration model, candidate countries are free to determine the content of the administrative reforms within the framework of general principles set by the EU. Moreover, it is found that the EU accession process is closely related to modernisation of the public administration system in the candidate countries and administrative reform has been overlapped and equalized to EU accession. Finally, it is understood that administrative reform with its extensive content, caused centralisation.

The period of 1864/1865-1870 represents the final stage of the unification of Germany, during which Prussia adopted a resolute approach and in two quick wars succeeded in eliminating its enemies - Austria and France. The aim of the diploma thesis is to present and critically analyse the Prussian foreign policy based on the study of sources and relevant literature. The author assesses factors which influenced the Prussian prime minister and the representatives of the European powers in their decisions. He also asks the question whether Bismarck merely adapted to the circumstances which inevitably led to the war with Austria or whether he himself contributed to their creation and speeded up the whole process. The most attention is then paid to France which was the greatest opponent of the unification of Germany of all powers. The study looks into the methods and steps which enabled Prussia to prevent the great European powers from getting involved into its conflict with Vienna and Paris. Moreover, it points out the challenges of the research on circumstances which led to the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War. Key words Prussia, Great Powers, German Confederation, Unification of Germany, Austrian Empire, Austria-Hungary, foreign policy, Austro-Prussian War, Franco-Prussian War, Napoleon III

Since about 20 years, local religious studies are being conducted in certain cities of German speaking Europe. These surveys deal scientifically with certain segments or with the total span of religious communities. This study about Steyr, Austria (42.000 inhabitants) is the first one that combines religious topography of a city with the gathering and comparison of statistical data of all its religious communities, covering the years 1995 - 2004. The partly surprising results confirm trends that national socio-religious studies have pointed out over the last years. At the same time the findings of this study complement other studies by looking also at minor religious bodies. Comparisons of local statistical trends in Steyr with the corresponding larger religious body in Austria show whether growth, stagnation or decline is typical for a community. At the end the researcher reflects on the contribution of this type of study to the field of missiology. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Die lokale Religionsforschung beschäftigt sich seit 20 Jahren mit religionstopographischen Studien einzelner Städte oder Regionen im deutschsprachigen Europa. Dabei wird entweder ein Segment der religiösen Landschaft oder das ganze religiöse Spektrum der institutionalisierten Religiosität wissenschaftlich erforscht und beschrieben. Diese Studie über die Kleinstadt Steyr (42.000 Einwohner) kombiniert erstmals die religionstopographische Bestandsaufnahme aller vorfindbaren Kirchen und Glaubensgemeinschaften einer Stadt mit der genauen statistischen Erfassung und Auswertung der Mitgliederzahlen und der Gottesdienstbesuchendenzahlen von 1995-2004. Die teilweise überraschenden Ergebnisse bestätigen die Trends für die Großkirchen, welche die nationale religionssoziologische Forschung der letzten Jahre aufgezeigt hat und ergänzen das bisher gewonnene, aber unvollständige Bild durch das Einbeziehen religiöser Minderheiten. Durch Vergleichen der lokalen statistischen Trends mit denen auf Österreichebene ist es möglich, festzustellen, ob das eruierte zahlenmässige Wachstum, die Stagnation oder der Rückgang der Mitglieder- und Besuchendenzahl einer Glaubensgemeinschaft typisch ist. Zum Schluss wird über den missiologischen Beitrag religionstopographischer Studien reflektiert. / Practical Theology / M. Th (Missiology)

This article contributes to a thriving line of research that examines issue interpretation and social accounts in order to study the adoption and diffusion of organizational concepts and management practices. It employs the empirical example of the rise of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Austria between 1990 and 2005 to investigate the complex role institutional pressures and social positions of actors play in the local adoption of globally theorized ideas. More specifically, the study reveals distinct patterns in rhetorical CSR adoption that illustrate the initial hesitation and reluctance of an established elite in the Austrian business community towards the Anglo-American notion of 'explicit' CSR, while non-elite actors who were less favourably positioned in the social order readily embraced the concept. It is in such a sense that CSR is nevertheless instrumentalized to challenge, reinterpret, or explicitly evoke the autochthonous idea of institutionalized social solidarity. Conceptually, this research takes into account social structure, actors' positions in the social order, and resulting divergent adoption motivations - i.e. the individual, yet socially derived, relevance systems of actors - and relates them to mechanisms and processes of institutional change.

This thesis investigates the reception and treatment of the refugees from Hungary and Egypt who arrived in France and in Britain after the Hungarian revolution and the Suez crisis. The thesis argues that the reception of the refugees from Hungary and from Egypt was primarily linked to the French and British immigration policies and influenced by the Cold War context. The first part deals with the creation of the Hungarian refugees and their reception in France and Britain. Chapter two gives a brief account on the Hungarian revolution and what led 200,000 Hungarians to leave their country. Chapter three deals with the reception and treatment of the Hungarian refugees in France, and sets out to demonstrate how the revolution and the refugee situation were first exploited for propagandistic purposes and national political interests. It also examines immigration policy in France and how the Hungarians were to serve France's economic and demographic interests as candidates for immigration. French-Jewish responses to the refugee situation are also explored. Finally, it discusses the effects of the Cold War in the resettlement process. Chapter four explores similar questions about the Hungarians with respect to Britain. The second part of the thesis studies the expulsion of the French, British and stateless Jews from Egypt and their resettlement in France and Britain. Chapter five deals with who the refugees from Egypt were, and the unusual nature of their nationality and cultural background. Chapter six deals with the reception and treatment of refugees from Egypt in France, and focuses on how the French government and administration oscillated between obligation and desire to provide relief to the French Jews of Egypt, as they were not considered to be suitable candidates for resettlement in France according to immigration policies and practices. As most of the refugees from Egypt were Jewish, the chapter also looks at the Jewish specificity of the resettlement policy and how their resettlement made the refugees question their French identity. Chapter seven discusses the reception of the refugees from Egypt in Britain. It analyses the different domestic context regarding the Suez crisis and its impact on the refugees. The question of identity and cultural background is also explored.
