<p>Peter Berger's commitment to religious values is remarkable if you consider that he is also committed to the "impossible struggle" for "valuefree research concerning mankind's ultimate values." Against "heartless observers" or technocrats, Berger argues (using sociology of knowledge,) that it is impossible to divorce oneself from the Lebenswelt, the world of values. Against ideologues on the other hand, he contends that one"s engagement to personal values need not prevent one from attempting to understand the world objectively. Against technocrats and ideologues Berger holds out an approach to religion which calls for the practice of "dual-citizenship." This approach enables one to be academically credible and responsive to the political, religious and scientific concerns of our epoch.</p> <p>My thesis centers on Berger's dual-citizenship approach to religion. Guided by the task of determining whether Berger's dual-citizenship constitutes an ''impossible struggle" or a workable model for the study of religion, the first part is devoted to explaining what dual-citizenship entails. The second part tests the coherence of Berger's approach. Rather than proposing a new method for the study of religion, my thesis has the more modest aim of unpacking and testing an already established approach in the field, namaly that of Peter Berger. </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Este trabalho contém resultados sobre a existência, unicidade e comportamento assintótico de soluções para uma equação de viga não linear do tipo Kirchhoff, \'u IND. tt\' \'+ \'DELTA\' POT. 2\' u - M(\'INT.IND. OMEGA\' | \'NABLA\' u| 2 dx) \'DELTA\' u+ f (\'u IND. t\' ) +g(u) = h em × R +, onde \'R POT. N\' é um domínio limitado com fronteira regular \\GAMA. Essa equação é um modelo matemático para pequenas vibrações transversais de vigas ou placas extensíveis. O termo não local M(\'INT.IND. OMEGA\' | \\NABLA u |2 dx) u está relacionado à variação de tensão na viga devida à sua extensibilidade. O termo f (\'u IND. t\' ) representa uma dissipação para o sistema e g(u) representa a força exercida pelo meio. A função h representa uma força externa adicional. Consideramos o problema com as condições de fronteira u|×R + = \'INT. u SUP. \'INT. v\' | \\\'GAMA\' ×\'R +\' = 0, que corresponde ao modelo de vigas fixadas pelo bordo \\\'GAMA\'. Discutiremos o caso em que a dissipação é linear e o caso em que é não linear. Mostraremos que em ambos os casos o sistema dinâmico associado ao problema possui um atrator global. Entretanto, para o caso em que a dissipação é linear, obtemos num espaço de fase mais regular, a existência de um conjunto inércia de dimensão finita, que atrai exponencialmente todos os limitados deste espaço / This work contains some results on the existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of solutions for a nonlinear beam equation of Kirchhoff type, \'u IND. tt\' + \' DELTA POT. 2\' u+ M(\'INT. IND.\' |u| 2 dx) u + g(\'u IND. t\') + f (u) = h; where \'R POT. N\' is a bounded domain with smooth boundary . This equation is a model for small vibrations of extensible beams. The nonlocal term M(\' INT. IND.\' |u| 2 dx) u is related to the variation of tensions in the beam due to its extensibility. The term f (\'u IND. t\') represents a damping mechanism for the system and g(u) represents the force exerted by the foundation. The function h represents an additional external force. We consider the problem with boundary condition u|×R+ = \' u SUP. \' |×R+ = 0, which corresponds to the model of clamped beams. We discuss the cases where the dissipation is linear and the case nonlinear. We show that in both cases, the dynamical system associated to the problem has a global attractor. However, when the dissipation is linear, we obtain, in a more regular space, the existence of an inertial set of finite dimension, which attracts exponentially all bounded sets of this space
