Segundo o filósofo, ambos não são verdadeiramente ensináveis, isto é, não se deve esperar que as estéticas desde Aristóteles tornem os seus pupilos artistas geniais, tampouco como se pode ansiar que os discursos morais tragam o caráter genuinamente ético. Pelo contrário, o pensador propõe à filosofia a tarefa puramente teórica e contemplativa, a saber, a de não prescrever regras ao espírito, mas descrever abstratamente o que de fato ocorre no belo e no bom, por meio de uma interpretação e explicitação cuja matéria e limite é "este mundo efetivo da cognoscibilidade, no qual estamos e que está em nós". Ambos os esclarecimentos são apresentados em seu essencial pelo filósofo, respectivamente, no Livro III e no Livro IV de Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung (O Mundo como Vontade e como Representação) - ambos os quais compõem, portanto, a bibliografia básica de nossa investigação. Resumidamente, Schopenhauer defende que o belo consiste, pelo lado objetivo, nas Idéias eternas (ewigen Ideen) de Platão, os arquétipos dos fenômenos relativos e fugazes do princípio de razão suficiente e a "objetidade mais adequada possível da coisa em si" (die möglichst adäquate Objetität des... Dinges an sich), e pelo subjetivo, no puro sujeito do conhecimento destituído de Vontade (reines, willenloses Subjekt der Erkenntnis). Quanto ao bom, o filósofo identifica-o ao conceito da compaixão (Mitleid), cujo grau negativo é a justiça (Gerechtigkeit), no qual ela apenas obstrui a injustiça (Unrecht), e o positivo a caridade (Menschenliebe), no qual ela "não apenas me impede de causar dano a outrem, mas também me impele a ajudá-lo". Por fim, nós também comentamos os seguintes temas capitais do pensamento schopenhaueriano: o idealismo, a polêmica com Kant, o princípio de razão suficiente, a Vontade como coisa em si, senhora do intelecto, impulso cego e auto-discórdia, o pessimismo e a autonegação e afirmação da Vontade de viver / Abstract: Our work aims to analyze and interpret the clarification of Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) of the concepts of the beautiful (schön) and the good (gut) (moral virtue). According to the philosopher, both are not really teachable, that is, one should not expect that Aristotle's aesthetics will make his pupils into brilliant artists, nor can one aspire that moral speeches have a genuinely ethical character. Rather, the thinker assigns to philosophy a purely theoretical and contemplative task, that is, not to prescribe rules to the spirit, but to abstractly describe what actually occurs in the beautiful and good, through an interpretation and explicitness the subject matter and limit of which is "this actual world of what is knowable, in which we are and which is in us." Both explanations are given in their essentials by the philosopher, respectively, in Book III and Book IV of Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung (The World as Will and Representation) - both of which make up the basic bibliography of our research. In short, Schopenhauer argues that, on the objective side, beauty consists of Plato's eternal Ideas (Ideen ewigen), archetypes of the fleeting phenomena of the principle of sufficient reason and " the best possible objectity of the thing in itself" (die möglichst adequate Objetität des ... Ding an sich), and on the subjective side, the pure subject of knowledge without will (reines, willenloses Subjekt der Erkenntnis). As for the good, the philosopher identifies it with the concept of compassion (Mitleid), the negative side of which is justice (Gerechtigkeit), negative in that it only blocks injustice (Unrecht), with charity (Menschenliebe) being the positive side, in that it "not only prevents me from causing harm to others but also compels me to help them". Finally, we also comment on the following main themes of Schopenhauer's thought: idealism, the controversy with Kant, the principle of sufficient reason, the will as thing in itself and master of the intellect, blind impulse and self-discord, pessimism and selfnegation and affirmation of the will to live / Mestrado / Metafisica do Belo e dos Costumes / Mestre em Filosofia

This dissertation is a nuanced study of ‘compassion’ in the context of the Pauline Letters. The Letters are considered within the socio/political context of imperial Rome. ‘Compassion’ is a complex emotion, therefore it has been necessary to include, in my analysis, cognate sentiments such as patience, kindness, gentleness, perseverance. As this is a semantic study the Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament based on Semantic Domains, compiled by Louw and Nida (L-N), is used extensively. A dictionary provides a potential meaning, but it is the context of the sentence, the sentence within a larger unit of the text as a whole, considered within the prevailing social conditions, that influence meaning. This method reveals that Paul envisages ‘compassion’ as the means to establish communities, not enslaved by the values of ‘the world’, nor grasping things for themselves at the expense of others. In Paul, ‘compassion’ is expansive and inclusive, where the good of the whole community is valued. His paradigm is the sacrifice of Christ. / Religious Studies and Arabic / M. A.
