La réalité des couleursDunand, Stéphane 22 October 2011 (has links)
Ce travail cherche à défendre une théorie objectiviste des couleurs en conciliant deux thèses tenues habituellement pour incompatibles : le physicalisme, selon lequel les couleurs sont des propriétés physiques décrites par la science, et la thèse de la révélation, selon laquelle la nature des couleurs est révélée par l’expérience. Ces deux thèses sont tenues pour inconciliables parce que les couleurs se présentent comme des qualités, alors que la science traite de quantités. Après être revenu sur l’histoire du problème en montrant comment on peut comprendre la controverse moderne sur les qualités secondes à partir de la thèse de la révélation, je montre comment comprendre cette dernière thèse et je soutiens que toute théorie plausible des couleurs doit soutenir la révélation. Je soutiens que les couleurs sont des événements transitoires, et non pas des propriétés permanentes des objets. La lumière ne se contente pas de révéler la couleur des objets, mais la produit : les couleurs sont des effets de l'interaction de la lumière avec l'objet ou, quand il s'agit de sources primaires de lumière, des événements se produisant en leur sein. Cette thèse semble offrir une réponse, au moins partielle, à des arguments classiques à l'encontre de l'objectivité des couleurs, notamment certaines versions de l'argument de la relativité. Surtout, cette catégorisation nouvelle des couleurs permet de concilier les descriptions qualitatives et chromatiques des couleurs avec leurs descriptions quantitatives et physiques, permettant ainsi de concilier l’image manifeste et l’image scientifique du monde. / This work tries to defend an objectivist theory of colour by a reconciliation of two theses generally considered as incompatible: physicalism, the theory that colours are scientific properties of objects, and revelation, the thesis that the nature of a colour is revealed by an experience of this colour. Those theses are considered as incompatible because colours are presented as qualities, while science is only about quantities. After a chapter about the history of the problem, showing how we can understand the modern controversy on secondary qualities thanks to the revelation thesis, I show how to understand revelation, distinguishing it from phenomenology, and claim that a correct theory of colour must support revelation. After that, I argue that colours are transitory events, not standing properties: light produce colours, which are effects of the interaction of light with matter or, for primary light sources, events happening in them. This thesis gives a partial answer to some arguments against objectivism, notably variability arguments. Above all, this new categorization of colour reconciles the qualitative chromatic descriptions of colours with their quantitative physical descriptions, thus allowing reconciliation between the manifest and the scientific images of the world.

Berkeley e o relativismo / Berkeley and relativismDanilo Bantim Frambach 21 February 2014 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / No sistema de Berkeley chamado de imaterialismo a substância material é negada, existindo apenas dois tipos de entes: aqueles que percebem (os espíritos) e aqueles que são percebidos (as ideias). Os objetos sensíveis não possuem qualquer existência além daquela que lhes é atribuída pelo ato da percepção. Assim, diz o autor, ser é ser percebido (esse est percipi), e tudo o que se conhece são as qualidades reveladas durante o processo de percepção sensível. No entanto, tal afirmação parece nos conduzir para uma forma bastante particular do relativismo, um subjetivismo individualista, que implica grandes problemas. Em suas duas obras mais importantes: Tratado sobre os princípios do conhecimento humano e Três diálogos entre Hylas e Philonous, Berkeley faz várias alusões à relatividade das qualidades sensíveis. Com efeito, as qualidades percebidas de cada objeto são diferentes, segundo os indivíduos. Entretanto, a opinião dos comentadores sobre a relevância que Berkeley atribui a tais referências relativistas é divergente. O objetivo do presente trabalho é, então, tentar apresentar uma possível solução para o problema das referências relativistas no imaterialismo de Berkeley. Pretendemos investigar ao longo dos quatro capítulos que se seguem, cada um abordando um aspecto relevante acerca da relação entre o relativismo e a teoria de Berkeley, como pode ser possível que o filósofo concilie as duas posições, conservando intacta a possibilidade de conhecimento objetivo do mundo, e a sintonia que alega manter com o senso comum. / In Berkeleys system named immaterialism the material substance is rejected, existing only two kinds of beings: those who perceive (spirits) and those who are perceived (ideas). Sensible objects do not have any existence beyond that given by the act of perception. Therefore, says the author, to be is to be perceived (esse est percipi), and all that is known are the qualities revealed during the process of sensible perception. However, this statement seems to lead toward a very peculiar form of relativism, an individualistic subjectivism that entails great problems. In his two most important works: A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge and Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous, Berkeley make several allusions to the relativity of the sensible qualities. Henceforth, the perceived qualities of each object are different according to the individuals. However, the opinion of the commentators differs about the relevance the Berkeley assigns to those relativistic references. Therefore, the purpose of the present work is to try to offer a possible solution to the problem of the relativistic references in Berkeleys immaterialism. We intend to investigate, in the course of the four subsequent chapters, each approaching a relevant aspect in the relation between relativism and Berkeleys theory, how is it possible for the philosopher to conciliate those two positions, maintaining intact the possibility of objective knowledge about the world and the agreement he claims to have with the common sense.

The Songs of Lennox Berkeley: A Lecture Recital, Together with Three Recitals of Selected Works of F.P. Schubert, G. Fauré, C. Debussy, F. Poulenc, M. Ravel, H. Wolf, J.S. Bach, G.F. Handel, I. Stravinsky, and OthersHansen, Robert H. (Robert Howard) 08 1900 (has links)
The English art song in the 20th-century presents a performance challenge unique in the solo song repertoire. Unlike the corresponding bodies of German Lied and French mélodie, which proceeded from a well-ingrained national tradition of music and poetry, the English art song had no such background. The many British composers who have contributed to the song literature of this century reflect varied backgrounds and influences. Lennox Berkeley combined his English heritage with the French background of his mother's family, largely self-taught musical skills and an innate sensitivity to poetry to become one of the most prominent song composers of this century. He trained with Nadia Boulanger, gaining exposure to the formal and melodic techniques of Faure and the neo-classicism of Stravinsky. Berkeley composed a total of seventy-eight solo songs. His acceptance and furtherance of a fundamentally traditional songmaker's craft place him more directly in the post-war line of succession of English song than Benjamin Britten, whose innovative musical techniques place him in the vanguard of new music.This document explores those aspects of Berkeley's life and work that contribute to his compositional choices. It provides an overview of all of Berkeley's known solo songs as well as a more detailed analysis of Five Songs (Walter de la Mare), Five Poems CW.H. Auden) and Another Spring. The paper illustrates the qualities of Berkeley's songs which justify his inclusion among the most successful art song composers of this century

A houseboy's handbookLubbock, Jay Erik 25 May 1995 (has links)
Past experiences have relevant truths for the present. An uncommon work
and living situation from this writer's undergraduate days shows how prejudice and
stereotype can be subtly arranged, and participated in, by the nature of his
surroundings. This thesis explores, through the combination of related past events
with an interspersed imperative address to the reader, the ways in which the writer
was stereotyped by those he served because of the limited nature of their
interactions. This writer, in turn, formed prejudices against those for whom he
worked. The imperative addresses to the reader advise one not to accept without
question simple categories and judgments for people based solely upon
circumstance and situation. / Graduation date: 1996

Theme and Variations for guitar Op. 77 : an analysis and background of Lennox Berkeley’s brilliant composition for the guitarTheodoridis, Ioannis January 2014 (has links)
This essay on Lennox Berkeley’s Theme and Variations for Guitar serves as the written half of my final dissertation for my bachelor’s degree in classical music, following my studies for Peter Berlind Carlson at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm between the years 2011- 2014. The other half of this project consists of a studio recording and a concert performance of this piece that I have analysed. Originally, this paper was written in Swedish but also translated to English to serve as an academic writing sample for the Royal College of Music in London, necessary for approving my continued postgraduate studies there starting in September 2014. Other reasons for translating this paper to English is partly the piece’s English origin but also the lack of other available information on this beautiful composition for the guitar. Hopefully, this paper may be of help to guitarists and Berkeley enthusiasts in exploring this remarkable piece of music and Lennox Berkeley’s relationship to the guitar. / <p>Bilaga: 1 CD</p>
