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 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

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

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>
