The problem concerning this research may be explained as follows: How can Lévinas Philosophy, in a dialog with the educational Theory by Paulo Freire, help defining principles or bases of intersubjective relationships present in education? We consider that the intersubjective relationships, within the educational universe, are built over two great bases or over a basis properly defined and over something that is beyond the basis. A contribution that this research brings and that reveals a possible originality within the educational field refers to the deconstruction of the category that is conveniently referred to as basis or principle. Supported by the philosophy of Emmanuel Lévinas, we present a perspective concerning the Western philosophy that comprised, most of the times, totalitarian bases, concerned about the unit, coherence and synthesis, dismissing, because of that, the singularities, the contradictions and the diversities. We suggest the term meta-archeology to indicate a reality that begins, but that is open to diversity, the difference, resistant to presenting itself as a paradigm. The hypothesis that determined the beginning of our works, already influenced by the philosophy of Emmanuel Lévinas and by the epistemology of the education of Paulo Freire, brings as an answer to our thesis problem the following statement: The relationship between the alterity and the exercise of the dialog enable and emphasize a metaarcheology of the emancipative education, beyond the identity limits. On the other hand, it is the autological rationality that begins and sustains, within the educational processes, the interpersonal relationships excluding and resistant to diversity. In order to build a methodology that would organize the approach of a subject in regards to a phenomenon and, at the same time, offer sufficient elements to [dis]organize and [re]organize the speech in view of future theoretical and practical constructions, we considered it is more convenient to approach the questions raised by the phenomenological hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur. The thesis was grounded on four main categories: knowledge and autology, on the one hand, and alterity and dialog on the other hand. These are two cuts that tension each other reciprocally. The comprehension of the first group of categories favors the comprehension of the second one and vice-versa. The first group is understood as the basis or principle for the education; the second one, as meta-archeology, something that is beyond the principle (arché). The set of Lévinas categories has alterity as its central category and articulator of the others: ethics and philosophy first, language, subjectivity, autrement (different than being). The set of Freire categories has dialog as its central category and articulates the others: freedom, social and political, justice, culture. With these categories, we tried to build an educational theory that may enable ethical learning processes of reception and commitment with others and even enable learning for the suspicion, refractory to the will of power. / A meta-arqueologia da Educação, proposta neste trabalho, toma como referência Emmanuel Lévinas e Paulo Freire e quer orientar uma reflexão filosófica sobre as questões colocadas pela necessidade de olhar o Outro como fonte de uma aprendizagem que possibilita o ser humano ser mais.

Ancorados na filosofia de Emmanuel Lévinas, apresentamos uma perspectiva acerca da filosofia ocidental que constituiu, na maioria das vezes, fundamentos totalitários, preocupados com a unidade, coerência e síntese, destituindo, por conta disso, as singularidades, as contradições e as diversidades. Propomos o termo metaarqueologia para designar uma realidade que principia, mas que permanece aberta à diversidade, à diferença, resistente a se apresentar como paradigma. A hipótese que marcou o início de nossos trabalhos, já influenciados pela filosofia de Emmanuel Lévinas e pela epistemologia da educação de Paulo Freire, traz como resposta ao nosso problema de tese a seguinte afirmação: A relação de alteridade e o exercício do diálogo permitem e marcam uma meta-arqueologia da educação emancipatória, para além dos limites identitários.

Se o exercício comparativo desta pesquisa iniciou seu percurso recorrendo a breves elementos comuns e numerosas diferenças entre os romances Nós, os do Makulusu, de José Luandino Vieira, e Un fusil dans la main, un poème dans la poche, de Emmanuel Dongala, o desenvolvimento analítico permitiu construir um diálogo profícuo entre as obras valendo-se dos conceitos de oposição e contradição, didática e dialética. À sua maneira, cada uma das duas narrativas materializa questões que parecem apontar para diferenças significativas também na constituição dos sistemas literários vizinhos a que pertencem. Neste sentido, ao dar enfoque às complexas relações que articulam a produção literária às dinâmicas sociais de seus contextos, empreendeu-se um esforço de reflexão acerca das tensões e contradições que marcaram os processos históricos das colonizações portuguesa e francesa em Angola e Congo-Brazzaville partindo das particularidades de composição verificadas em cada um dos textos literários. Através desse processo, buscou-se explicitar como as contingências agem de modo complexo e intrincado, de forma a influenciar dialeticamente as possibilidades de representação e as escolhas formais dos autores. / If the comparative exercise of this research began its course using brief common elements and numerous differences between the novels Nós, os do Makulusu, by José Luandino Vieira, and Un fusil dans la main, un poème dans la poche by Emmanuel Dongala, the analytical development allowed to construct a fruitful dialogue between the texts using the concepts of opposition and contradiction, didacticism and dialectic. In its own way, each one of these two narratives materializes issues that seem to point to meaningful differences also on the nature of the neighboring literary systems in which they belong. In this sense, by giving focus to the intricate relations that articulate the literary production to the social dynamics of its contexts, an endeavour of reflection was undertook about the tensions and contradictions which branded the historical processes of the Portuguese and French colonizations in Angola and Congo-Brazzaville starting from the peculiarities of composition verified in each of the literary texts. Through this process, it was sought to make explicit how the contingencies act in complex and intricate ways, in order to dialectically influence the possibilities of representation and the formal choices of the authors.

This thesis examines French architect Eugene-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879), who combined eighteenth-century Rationalism with the historicist, anti-academic message of Romanticism, which was impelling the nineteenth-century architectural reform movement into the industrial age. Sources used include Viollet-le-Duc's architectural drawings and published works, particularly volume one of his Entretiens sur l'Architecture. The study is arranged chronologically, and it discusses his career, his restoration work, and his demands for reform of architectural education. One chapter contains a detailed analysis of his Entretiens. This thesis concludes that Viollet-le-Duc was as much a historian as he was an architect, and it notes that his hopes for reform were realized in the twentieth century.

Für Inga Maria Schüttes (M. A.) Beitrag Die Qualität des Unterschieds. Das Weibliche als das Andere in der Philosophie von Emmanuel Lévinas stellt sich das Problem von Kontinuitäten, Differenzen und gendercodierten Normierungen des Denkens sowohl auf der Objektebene ausgewählter früherer Werke (Le Temps et l’autre; Totalité et L’Infini) dieses Philosophen wie auf der Reflexionsebene der philosophiegeschichtlichen Forschung, wo feministische Relektüren von Levinas‘schen Kernbegriffen (Weibliches, Tod, Eros, Frau) durch Simone de Beauvoir, Luce Irigaray und andere bislang weitgehend ausgeblendet oder abgewehrt worden sind. Über ihre eigene behutsam-kritische und textnahe Lesart hinaus plädiert die Verfasserin daher für eine umfassende, den methodischen und terminologischen Standards der Gender Studies konsequent verpflichtete Revision und Neubewertung von Levinas‘ alteritätstheoretisch wichtiger Philosophie.

Ce mémoire a pour objectif de cibler l’un des rapports possibles entre psychologie et philosophie, à travers la lecture que fait Carl Gustav Jung des textes d’Emmanuel Kant. La théorie de la connaissance de Kant, telle que présentée dans sa Critique de la raison pure, apparaît comme étant l’un des piliers philosophiques à la base des développements conceptuels jungiens. Le psychiatre l’a affirmé à plusieurs reprises, notamment dans son ouvrage autobiographique (Carl Gustav Jung, Ma vie, 1963). Il sera question, d’une part, d’évaluer la position scientifique de Jung en tant que construite à partir de celle proposée par Kant. Entre idéalisme et empirisme, Jung semble vouloir se frayer une place dans la science à la manière de l’idéalisme allemand. D’autre part, ce sera l’occasion d’étudier les structures élaborées par Jung, notamment l’inconscient collectif et les archétypes, qui selon lui, sont analogues à certains concepts de Kant tel que la chose en soi et les catégories a priori. Enfin, c’est à travers l’individuation, processus central de la recherche jungienne, que nous tenterons de comprendre de quelle façon les structures se dynamisent et peuvent faire écho à la dialectique de la Raison pure tel que présentée par Kant. Il sera dès lors possible de situer la psychologie analytique de Jung entre esthétique et éthique, telle une théorie éthique s’élaborant à même le développement du Soi. / This dissertation aims to target one of the possible relationships between psychology and philosophy, through Carl Gustav Jung's reading of Immanuel Kant's texts. Kant's theory of knowledge as presented in his Critique of Pure Reason appears to be one of the philosophical pillars at the basis of Jungian conceptual developments. The psychiatrist affirmed this on several occasions, notably in his autobiographical work (Carl Gustav Jung, Ma vie, 1963). To do so, on the one hand, we will evaluate Jung's scientific position as constructed from the one proposed by Kant. Between idealism and empiricism, Jung seems to want to make his own way in science like the manner of German idealism. On the other hand, it will be the occasion to study the structures elaborated by Jung, in particular the collective unconscious and the archetypes, which, according to him, are analogous to certain Kant’s concepts such as the thing in itself and the a priori categories. Finally, it is through individuation, the central process of Jungian research, that we will try to understand how structures are dynamized and can echo the dialectic of Pure Reason as presented by Kant. It will then be possible to situate Jung's analytical psychology between aesthetics and ethics, as an ethical theory formulated within the development of the Self.

This thesis argues that a close reading of Karol Wojtyla (John Paul II) and Emmanuel Levinas reveals a common phenomenological and ethical interest in the embodied human person. Attention is also given to points of disagreement that are theological in character. Despite different religious commitments, their treatment of the body provides the basis for an overlooked dialogue in which both emphasise the giftedness of the embodied human subject, the ‘other’. In the postmodern context, the body is a key theme and the focus of much debate, yet little has been said of observations made by both Wojtyla and Levinas about each other’s work, or how this relates to their own development. This is surprising given their huge contribution to philosophy, ethics and theology in the 20th century. Levinas' mature philosophical works build on his ongoing interest in phenomenology, but the body remains problematical. For him, incarnation is questionable, because he refuses an incarnational avatar. There is no escape from commitment or responsibility and the theme of alterity is absolute. Yet, communio is the necessary objective of the human situation, in which bodies do not simply make incarnate presence possible, but are fragile, wounded and vulnerable. This is crucial: bodies can be violated and even crucified. Wojtyla addressed this paradox in his Wednesday audiences in what became known as his ‘theology of the body’, which in turn shaped his principle paradigm of alterity, the nuptial mystery. There is an irreconcilable difference in these two views of the body, in which Wojtyla’s nuptial mystery contrasts strongly with Levinas’ alterity. With this important variation in mind, it is demonstrated that the thread of agreement between Levinas and Wojtyla is the logic of the gift; that the body speaks a language of gift-exchange that is fundamentally ethical and theological.

Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is concerned with the possibility and characterisation of poststructural ethics and the ethics of general theories. It contains a review of selected readings on Modernity and provides a "snapshot" of an ethical system that is essentially rule based and privileges rationality. Some of the problems with such a system, such as inflexibility, tolerance based on superiority and force and the privileging of male gender is explored. It proceeds by perusing some literature on postmodernity as an open ethical system in which values are free floating and lists of rules are constantly produced and disregarded in a dizzying ethical free for all in which "anything goes". No value is considered more worthwhile than personal survival. As a starting point for reading Modernity and postmodernity together, Levinas introduces a radical perspective on ethics that can be read as a condemnation of postmodern morality. He relates an ethics in which the survival of the "other" is more important than the survival of the self. However, he does not ground the metaphysics of such a privilege in rationality or knowledge and hence does not turn it into an ethical rule, but rather, subtly shifts the responsibility for the other person to an ultimate responsibility for the Other as God. This radical responsibility is rejected by deconstruction which does not reject either postmodernity or Modernity but is an attempt to think through the limits of rule-orientated rationality, free-play and mystical metaphysics to produce an ethical awareness that has a sensitivity for the complexity of context. Through the notion of "writing", the peculiarities it displays and the objections it attracts, Derrida seeks to establish a uniquely ethical writing that is both a stable manifestation of ethics and a dynamic engagement with those subject to it. With these readings in the background the thesis attempts to provide a framework for poststructural ethics. It is an ethics based in the notion of friendship but does not ground itself in any guarantees. It re-evaluates rationality in terms of a sublime struggle for meaning and truth. This sublime struggle offers a unique perspective on political debates that strive towards responsible development for multicultural societies and also on a sociological approach to law and the ability to dispense justice without undue prejudice. The main contention of the thesis is that although poststructuralism does not suppose a grounding metaphysics in either rationality or responsibility towards God it cannot be satisfied with the self-indulgent nihilism of an "anything goes" postmodernism. Thus, it depends on the notion of a "complex system" that "self-organises" and produces limits through spontaneous connections. Through the working of deconstruction complex systems can take on a more human manifestation as friendships flourish and decay through the interaction of faces. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie is gemoeid met die moontlikheid en karakterisering van poststrukturele etiek en die etiek van algemene teorië. Dit bevat In geselekteerde oorsig van Moderniteit en verskaf In "kiekie" van In etiese sisteem wat essentieël op reëls gebasseer is en rationaliteit privilegieer. Sommige probleme met so In sisteem, soos byvoorbeeld onbuigsaamheid, verdraagsaamheid gegrond in superioriteit, geweld en die privilegieering van manlikheid, word ondersoek. Die studie sit voort deur sommige literatuur oor postmoderniteit as In oop etiese sisteem onder oë te neem. So In sisteem veronderstel vryvloeiende waardes en lyste van reëls wat gedurig geproduseer en geabandoneer word in In duisligwekkende etiese vryspel wat beskryf kan word as "anything goes". Geen waarde word hoër geag as persoonlike oorlewing nie. As die beginpunt van In lesing wat Moderniteit en postmoderniteit met mekaar in verband bring verskaf Levinas In radikale perspektief op etiek wat verdoemend staan teenoor die moraliteit van postmoderniteit. Hy beskryf In etiek waarin die oorlewing van die "ander" meer belangrik geag word as die oorlewing van die self. Hy grond egter nie die metafisieka van so In voorreg in rationaliteit of kennis nie, en lê dit dus nie neer as In etiese reël nie, maar verskuif eerder op subtitle wyse verantwoordelikheid vir die ander persoon na In uiteindelike verantwoordelikheid vir die Ander as God. Laasgenoemde radikale verantwoordelikheid word deur dekonstruksie verwerp in In poging om postmoderniteit en Moderniteit saam te snoer en die limiete van reël-georiënteerde rationaliteit, vry-spel en mistiese metafisieka deur te dink. Hierdeur word 'n etiese gewaarwording geproduseer wat sensitiviteit vir die kompleksiteite van konteks vertoon. Deur die nosie van "skryf', die eienaardighede en teenkanting daaraan verbonde, is Derrida op soek na die neerlegging van In unike etiese skryf wat beide In stabille manifestasie van etiek is en 'n dinamiese betrokkenheid by die wat daaraan onderhewig staan. Met hierdie leeswerk in die agtergrond poog die tesis om 'n raamwerk vir poststrukturele etiek daar te stel. Dit is In etiek wat as basis die nosie van vriendskap aanvaar sonder om enige waarborge uit te deel. Rationaliteit word gere-evalueer in terme van In sublime stryd vir betekenis en waarheid. Hierdie sublime stryd bring 'n unieke perspektief na politieke debatte wat volhoubare ontwikkeling in multikulturele samelewings ten doel het en vir In sosiologiese benadering tot die reg en regsvaardigheid. Alhoewel poststrukturele etiek nie In metanarratief veronderstel, soos die etiek van Moderniteit, nie kan dit egter ook nie tevrede wees met die destabiliserende nihilisme van 'n "anything goes" postmodernisme nie. Poststrukturele etiek steun dus swaar op die idee van 'n "komplekse sisteem" wat self-organiseer en llrniette stel deur middel van spontane konneksievorming. Deur die werking van dekonstruksie kan so In komplekse sisteem ook in meer menslike terme verwoord word as vriendskappe wat groei en vergaan in die interaksie tussen "gesigte".
