A piedade epicureia e a formação do campo politikós do Jardim

Carvalho, Rafael Virgílio de [UNESP] 24 August 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Made available in DSpace on 2014-06-11T19:26:38Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011-08-24Bitstream added on 2014-06-13T20:34:22Z : No. of bitstreams: 1 carvalho_rv_me_assis.pdf: 576590 bytes, checksum: 2889232b38156ba6c46e5582a11e7220 (MD5) / Em finais do século IV a.C., as fronteiras socioculturais do mundo grego já haviam sido abertas por Alexandre Magno, as poleis já não tinham a mesma autonomia que outrora, o demos já não estava mais absorto nos assuntos públicos e a religiosidade conseguia manter a duras penas sua identidade tradicional pátria. O filósofo Epicuro foi fruto desse contexto e, como tal, esforçou-se para suprir a alma humana com princípios que pudessem ainda lhe elevar ao Olimpo. Contudo, mesmo pregando o apolitismo, sendo um espírito humanista e cosmopolita, não se pode dizer que se absteve da prática politiké. Este termo grego é um adjetivo que faz referência à politeía, a “prática da cidadania”, cujo campo, diferentemente da contemporaneidade, abrangia o espaço da política e da religiosidade. O mestre do Jardim, de modo aparentemente contraditório, orientava seus discípulos a exercitarem sua cidadania e, como cidadão de Atenas, anunciava suas participações nos principais festivais públicos da polis. Assim, a proposta desta dissertação lança a análise à compreensão do campo politikós do Jardim a partir dos valores que o estruturaram e sob a problemática da abalada piedade do período. A ruptura de Epicuro com o platonismo, que fez parte de sua formação filosófica juvenil, mostra-se decisiva para o entendimento de sua postura politiké e é esta a hipótese de que parte o estudo. / At the end of the fourth century BC, the socio-cultural boundaries of the Greek world had been opened by Alexander the Great, the poleis no longer had the same autonomy that once, the demo was no longer absorbed in public affairs, religion, the hard way could maintain their traditional identity homeland. The philosopher Epicurus was the result of that context and as such trengthening to meet the human soul with principles that could still elevate him to Olympus. However, even the apolitical preaching, being a humanist and cosmopolitan, you can not say who abstained from the politiké practice. This Greek word is an adjective that refers to politeía, the practice of citizenship, the field, unlike the contemporary, covering the space of politics and religion. The Master's Garden, so seemingly contradictory, directed his followers to exercise their citizenship and, as a citizen of Athens, announced its participation in major public festivals of the polis. The proposal of this dissertation introduces the analysis to the understanding of politikós field the Garden from the values in the structured and the problem of shaken piety of the period. The rupture of Epicurus with Platonism, which was part of his philosophical youth, seems crucial to understanding his politiké stance and this hypothesis is that part of the study.

Análise e tradução do Livro I do De rerum natura de Tito Lucrécio Caro / Analysis and translation of Titus Lucretius Carus De rerum natura

Freitas, Leandro César Albuquerque de 26 February 2018 (has links)
O epicurismo apresentou teorias sobre a física que constituíam, em boa parte, uma continuidade do pensamento materialista antigo, ainda assim, há certamente muitos elementos originais em seu pensamento para destacá-lo e torná-lo em um sistema reconhecido por sua própria importância. Como se desenvolveu em uma filosofia de amplo alcance, e por isso mesmo muito visada por adversários, além dos conteúdos de sua física, ética e canônica, disciplinas principais de seu pensamento, Epicuro e os membros de sua escola viam-se compelidos a opinar em assuntos que transcendiam esse grupo de investigações. É notório o conjunto de opiniões que a escola teria apresentado sobre o lavor poético e a veiculação de mitos; testemunhos de Plutarco, Sexto Empírico, Cícero e outros marcam essa postura como de oposição a essas expressões, oposição essa que certamente encontra respaldo na orientação pela busca pela felicidade por meio da remoção do indivíduo das fontes de perturbação com as quais normalmente essas formas de expressão se associam. Ainda assim, a obra mais apreciada dessa mesma escola, o poema De rerum natura do romano Tito Lucrécio Caro, escrito no século I a.C. é notória por transigir com relação a essas modalidades de expressão \"rechaçadas\" por sua escola. Além dessa aparente transgressão, um outro elemento digno de nota nesse poema é a recusa em se usar um termo apenas para referenciar os átomos, definitivamente singularizado por Epicuro por meio do termo ἄτομος e ocasionalmente retomado também por meio termo σομα pelo autor grego. As opções de cunho estético (uso da forma poética e de elementos míticos) revelam a adesão a um programa didático estabelecido e nos convidam a relativizar a postura epicurista e a buscar elementos mais sólidos que corroborem uma visão não tão sectária como a veiculada pelos críticos da doutrina. De outra parte, a variação vocabular reflete o desenvolvimento do programa didático encampado, no qual se faz uso de posições de outros pensadores (pré-socráticos) a respeito dos componentes essenciais da matéria, posições essas que são convenientemente deturpadas como forma de desqualificar escolas de pensamento ativas e influentes na época de Lucrécio (estoicismo e a academia). Outra função que esse expediente cumpre é a de adiantar ao leitor a explicação de conceitos complexos sobre o atomismo, a partir dos quais a exposição das teses epicuristas possa se dar de uma forma mais rápida e completa. / Epicureanism presented theories on physics that can be seen to continue, for the most part, the ancient materialistic thought of the pre-socratics. Even so, it has certainly many original ele-ments on itself so it may be considered to have its own relevance and importance. As it became a well known philosophy in its time, and therefore a constant target for its adversaries, it needed to approach other subjects beyond the contents of its intended fields: physics, canonics and ethics. For this reason, Epicuro and the members of its school were compelled to provide posi-tions on aesthetic matters, even though this was not a primordial object of inquiry. The set of opinions that the school may have presented on subjects such as poetic creation and the propa-gation of myths is well known; testimonies of Plutarch, Sextus Empiricus, Cicero and others mark epicureanism stance as of oppositon to these forms of expressions. This alledged hostility certainly finds endorsement on the guidance for the pursuit of happiness by means of the re-moval of sources of disturbance normally associated with those means of expression. Still the most appreciated work of the epicurean school, the poem De rerum natura by the Roman author Titus Lucretius Carus, writen in the 1st century BC, is notorious for its compromise with regard to those modes of expression \"repeled\" by epicureans. Beyond this apparent violation, another noteworthy element in this poem is the refusal of a single term to mean \'atom\', which was definitively singularized by Epicuro by means of the term ἄτομος and, occasionally referred also by the term σομα. The options of aesthetic matrix (use of the poetical form and mythical elements) disclose Lucretius\' adherence to an established didactic program and invite us to rel-ativize the epicurean position and to search for more solid elements that support a view on aesthetic and mythic matters less sectarian than the one propagated by the critics of the doctrine. On the other hand, the vocabulary variation reflects the development of the didactic program, in that sense Lucretius makes use of positions of other thinkers (pre-socratic thinkers) regarding the essential components of matter. Those positions are conveniently misrepresented so to dis-qualify active and influential schools of thought at the time of Lucretius (stoicism and the Acad-emy). These misrepresentations help Lucretius to guide the reader throught complicated con-cepts and by this mean the exposure of the Epicurean thesis can be performed in a faster and more complete way.

La tensione tra interiore ed esteriore. Studio attorno all'idea di securitas in Seneca / La tension entre intérieur et extérieur. Étude sur la notion de securitas chez Sénèque / The tension between interior and exterior. A study on the notion of securitas in Seneca

Hasic, Anida 18 April 2016 (has links)
Ce travail de recherche reconstruit la valeur de la notion de securitas d'un point de vue conceptuel et du point de vue de l'histoire de la philosophie dans le but de montrer la centralité du concept et la cohérence de son développement dans la réflexion philosophique de Sénèque. À cette fin les dimensions intérieure et extérieure sont examinées dans leur relation d'implication mutuelle : premièrement la securitas est étudiée par rapport à la dimension psychologique du sujet dans le contexte du progrès moral, deuxièmement, elle est étudiée par rapport à la relation à autrui dans le contexte sociale de l'Empire. La securitas est également analysée en référence au statut épistémologique des Naturales Quaestiones pour étudier la relation que l'homme entretient avec le monde des phénomènes naturels grâce à la science. En outre le concept a été examiné à l’intérieur de la relation entre oeuvre philosophique et oeuvre tragique (Oedipus). Le postulat éthique de la securitas trouve une résonance et un sens complémentaires dans la poétique de l’oeuvre tragique, ce qui détermine donc une poétique de l'incertain. La recherche montre que la présence du focus sur la dimension intérieure vise des objectifs éthiques concernant la sphère extérieure. Ce qui ressort en outre de l’étude de la notion de securitas est une relation tendue avec le monde. Ce caractère tendu de la relation au monde nous a conduit à clarifier la position de Sénèque vis-à-vis de la tradition stoïcienne à laquelle il appartient, ainsi que son attitude par rapport aux autres influences philosophiques (Lucrèce, Cicéron, Celse) et idéologiques (Velleius Paterculus) auxquelles il est perméable. / This research reconstructs the value of the concept of securitas in Seneca's thought with the aim to show its centrality and the organic nature of its development both from a conceptual point of view and from the point of view of the history of ideas. Therefore the interior and the exterior dimensions of the notion and their mutual implications are analyzed: securitas is examined in its interior psychological dimension in the context of moral progress, subsequently the importance of the concept is taken into account in connection with social relations in the imperial context. The epistemological questions of the notion in Naturales Quaestiones are also studied in order to investigate the relationship that man entertains with the world of natural phenomena through science. Securitas was also examined within the relationship between philosophical and dramatic works (Oedipus), suggesting the presence of ethical assumptions of securitas in their inverted sense on a poetic level and allowing us to describe Seneca's poetic as a poetic of uncertainty. The research shows that the ethical aspects which focus on the interior dimension become part of relating to the outside world as well. The tense relationship with the world, which emerges from the study of the concept of securitas, can also be linked to the way Seneca deals with previous philosophical tradition and have contributed to clarify his position with respect to the Stoic tradition to which he belongs, as well as with respect to other philosophical (Lucretius, Cicero, Celsus) and ideological (Velleius Paterculus) influences which are present in his works.

A ética do prazer de Lorenzo Valla / The Ethics of Pleasure of Lorenzo Valla

Adami, Ana Letícia 02 July 2019 (has links)
O presente trabalho de doutorado tem por objetivo expor e comentar a tese do prazer (voluptas, em latim, edoné, em grego) como o sumo bem (summum bonum), conforme a defesa do humanista romano Lorenzo Valla (1407-1457), inscrita no seu diálogo De Voluptate (Do Prazer), publicado pela primeira vez em 1431. Nesta obra, que foi alvo de inúmeras polêmicas entre pensadores humanistas e escolásticos de seu tempo, a Europa do Renascimento, Valla propõe um debate entre um representante estoico e um epicurista acerca da questão sobre o fim último que dirige nossas ações, dito também o sumo bem. Como representante do partido da virtude ou do honesto (o honestum ou a honestas), o estoico, Valla escolhe ninguém menos do que um dos maiores representantes do republicanismo italiano do renascimento, o chanceler de Florença Leonardo Bruni (1370-1444). Do lado oposto, como representante do partido do prazer (a voluptas), isto é, o epicurista, ele escolhe ninguém menos do que o autor do primeiro volume de epigramas satíricos da Renascença, o poeta panormitano Antonio Beccadelli (1394-1471). Através desse debate, Valla procura rebater as críticas feitas por escolásticos e humanistas ao modelo de vida epicurista, pejorativamente chamado por seus detratores de vida dos agricultores ou rústicos, por oposição ao modelo de vida estoico do homem de negócios públicos, compromissado com deveres (officia) muito elevados, pois que visam a proteção e glória de sua cidade. / The purpose of this dissertation is to expose and comment on the thesis of pleasure (voluptas, in Latin, edoné, in Greek) as the highest good (summum bonum), according to the Roman humanist Lorenzo Valla\' defense (1407-1457) inscribed in his dialogue De Voluptate (On Pleasure), published for the first time in 1431. In this work, which was the subject of numerous controversies between humanists and other scholastics of his time in Renaissance Europe, Valla proposes a debate between a Stoic representative and an Epicurean on the question about the ultimate end that directs our actions, also said the highest good. As a representative of the party of virtue or of the honest (honestum or honestas), that is to say, the Stoic, he chooses no one but one of the greatest representatives of the Italian republicanism of the Renaissance, the chancellor of Florence, Leonardo Bruni (1370-1444). On the opposite side, as the representative of the pleasure party (voluptas), that is, the Epicurean, he chooses no one but the author of the first volume of satirical epigrams of the Renaissance, the panormitan poet, Antonio Beccadelli (1394-1471). Through this debate, Valla seeks to counter scholastic and humanist criticisms of the \"epicurean\" model of life, pejoratively called life of \"farmers or rustics\" by his detractors, as opposed to the \"stoic\" model of public business man, committed to very high duties (officia), as they seek the protection and glory to his city.

Mortal Beings : On the Metaphysics and Value of Death

Johansson, Jens January 2005 (has links)
This book is a contribution to the debate of the metaphysics and value of death. The metaphysical problems of death are closely connected with the debate of personal identity. In Chapter Two, I defend the view that human persons are human organisms. This view, often called "Animalism," is apparently incompatible with a standard account of personal identity over time, "the Psychological View." I try to show how the Animalist can accommodate the intuitions that seem to support the Psychological View. In Chapter Three, I discuss the thesis that human persons cease to exist when they die, a thesis that has bearing on several metaphysical and ethical questions. Recently, many materialists have attacked the thesis, arguing that human persons continue to exist after death as corpses. In opposition to this popular view, I argue that human animals, and hence human persons, do go out of existence at death. Epicureans deny that death is an evil for the one who dies. Their arguments are based on what will be called "the missing subject problem." In Chapter Four, I aim to show that Epicureanism survives the objections that have been put forward in current literature. But I also argue that a more convincing case can be made against the Epicurean view. Anti-Epicureans typically base the view that death is sometimes bad for the deceased on the "deprivation approach." This approach seems to have the unsavory consequence that prenatal non-existence, too, is a great evil. Recently, proponents of the deprivation approach have suggested a number of ways of avoiding this implication. In Chapter Five, I argue that all these attempts fail, and that it is preferable to accept the consequence. In Chapter Six I turn to the question of the reasonableness of the special concern that most people have for their own deaths. I claim that this issue should be treated in the light of the more general question of the justifiability of special concern about one's own future. It is often held that such concern is justified if and only if "Non-Reductionism" about personal identity is correct. I argue, on the contrary, that it is unjustified whether or not Non-Reductionism is true.

Le Tout et l'infini dans le De rerum natura de Lucrèce / The whole and the infinity in Lucretius' De rerum natura

Morenval, Alexandra 07 May 2015 (has links)
Cette étude a pour objectif de démontrer l'importance capitale de Lucrèce dans l'introduction de l'infini à Rome et au sein de l'histoire de la philosophie : bien qu'il se fonde sur les écrits de son maître grec, Épicure, le poète propose une réponse nouvelle, originale, moderne et féconde à la dialectique du Tout et de l'infini en réconciliant ces deux notions au moyen de son poème en langue latine. Sous son stylet, l'infini devient plus réel, plus tangible et évident, plus vaste et intense, plus enthousiasmant et grandiose. La poésie n'est pas seulement un agrément. Elle contribue à la maîtrise de l'infini épicurien et à la valorisation de cette notion. La démarche adoptée pour cette démonstration, bien que littéraire à la base, est transdisciplinaire : l'étude tente d'offrir une vision synthétique de l'infini de Lucrèce, poète, philosophe et scientifique. / This study aims to demonstrate Lucretius'major role in the introduction of infinity in Rome and within the history of philosophy. Although he bases his argument on the writings of his Greek teacher, Epicurus, the poet offers a new, original, modern and fertile answer to the dialectic of the Whole and infinity when reconciling these two notions by means of his poem in Latin language. Under his stylus, infinity becomes more real, more tangible and obvious, vaster and more intense, more exciting and magnificent. The poetry is not only a charm. It contributes to the good command of the Epicurean infinity and to the promotion of this notion. The approach I adopted for this demonstration, although literary at the root, is interdisciplinary : the study tries to offer a synthetic view of the infinity of Lucretius, a poet, a philosopher and a scientist.

Estes aforismos são dotados de magnífica leveza e profundidade. Para atingir esse efeito de leveza, De Crescenzo se vale do conhecimento acumulado em sua carreira como romancista, filósofo, humorista, cineasta e cidadão napolitano. Além disso, recorre à ironia, figura de linguagem que, por mais de uma via, incorporou-se à cultura napolitana. Recursos como a sátira e o humor também apoiam as breves narrativas na voz do professor Don Gennaro Bellavista. Não apenas recursos linguísticos amparam De Crescenzo na construção da egrégora de leveza que envolve esta obra, o autor também se vale da filosofia Epicurista, dos valores do taoismo clássico e da própria cultura do povo napolitano nesta construção. O presente estudo verifica como são construídos os aforismos, em sua maioria, na estruturação linguística e semântica, para investigar como é criado o efeito de leveza em cada um deles. / I pensieri di Bellavista is a work of Luciano De Crescenzo, contemporary italian author, composed of 365 aphorisms. These aphorisms are endowed with magnificent lightness and profundity. In order to reach such lightness effect, De Crescenzo summons his knowledge, accumulated through his novelist, philosopher, humorist and film maker careers, as well through his Neapolitan citizenship. Besides that, he resorts to irony, figure of speech which, through various ways, had integrated itself to the Neapolitan culture. Means such as satire and humor also supports the brief narratives in the speech of professor Don Gennaro Bellavista. Not only linguistic means are summoned to ground De Crescenzo in the building of the lightness mood that involves this work, the author also evokes the Epicurean philosophy, the classic Taoist values and the Neapolitan culture itself to the same purpose. The present research verifies how the aphorisms are constructed, mostly, in the linguistic and semantic structuration, to investigate how the lightness effect in each of them is created. / CAPES: 1574922

A natureza da alma e o clinamen: a??o e liberdade em Lucr?cio / The nature of the soul and clinamen: freedom and action in Lucretius

No. of bitstreams: 1 AntonioJGF_TESE.pdf: 3546589 bytes, checksum: cfaca58d81f53bc94ea534c7ce87e101 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-05-09 / The concept of freedom and his presupposition, the free will or libera voluntas in Lucretius relies on the notion of clinamen (declination), an occasional and random motion of atoms, inaccessible to experience. It is endowed with a complex movement provided by spontaneity, without the need for mechanical causes. The action of perceiving (sensus) is selfconsciousness, according to which this will, illuminated by previous experiences (sensory, intellectual or emotional) of the soul, takes advantage of the freedom and own spontaneity of atomic motions to drive them to a perceived direction and chosen. On the other hand, if we consider that the declination has a predominant role for the acts of will, we are facing other problems and questions. There is always the choice of a determined action and, therefore, even if the individual is facing a need to act, is possible choose to do not continue finish this action. Thereby, the will is related to conditions that are originate, ultimately, from the images formed randomly in space and impress the soul: the simulacra of desire and pleasure. The declination itself is a very important notion in this research, in order to emphasize the relationship between the freedom and the kinetic of elements. The approach developed in this work had as main objective to investigate the philosophy of nature and the soul in Lucretius, their constituents and movement, as well as demonstrating how the notion of clinamen articulates with the concepts of image, desire and pleasure, proposing a possible interpretation for the declination as an indeterminate and ethical foundation of freedom / A no??o de liberdade e o seu pressuposto, a vontade livre ou libera voluntas em Lucr?cio se apoia no conceito de clinamen (declina??o), um movimento ocasional e fortuito dos ?tomos, inacess?vel ? experi?ncia. Trata-se de um movimento complexo dotado de espontaneidade, sem a necessidade de causas mec?nicas. A a??o de perceber (sensus) ? a consci?ncia de si, em fun??o de qual esta vontade, iluminada por experi?ncias anteriores (sensitivas, intelectuais ou afetivas) da alma, tira proveito da liberdade ou espontaneidade pr?pria dos movimentos at?micos para dirigir ou n?o estes ?ltimos a uma dire??o percebida e escolhida. Por outro lado, atribuir ? declina??o um papel predominate para os atos da vontade encerra outros problemas. Sempre existe a escolha sobre uma dada a??o e, portanto, mesmo que o indiv?duo se encontre frente a uma necessidade do agir, ? poss?vel escolher n?o prosseguir e concluir a a??o. Desse modo, a vontade encontra-se associada ?s afec??es que s?o originadas, em ?ltima an?lise, das imagens que se formam de maneira aleat?ria no espa?o e impressionam a alma: os simulacros do desejo e do prazer. A declina??o investe-se de import?ncia na presente pesquisa, a fim de enfatizar as rela??es entre a liberdade e a cin?tica dos elementos. Isto posto, a abordagem desenvolvida neste trabalho teve como objetivos principais investigar a filosofia da natureza do mundo e da alma em Lucr?cio, seus constituintes e movimento, al?m de demonstrar como a no??o do clinamen se articula com as imagens, o desejo e o prazer, propondo uma interpreta??o poss?vel para a declina??o como fundamento indeterminado e ?tico da liberdade

A primazia da phrónesis sobre a philosophía em Epicuro / The primacy of the phrónesis over the philosophía in Epicurus

No passo 132, de Carta a Meneceu, lemos que a phrónesis é mais preciosa do que a philosophía, sendo que a primeira é tida como uma sabedoria prática e contínua, indispensável à vida do sábio, e a segunda como um saber teórico e igualmente como um exercício, cujo principal objetivo é livrar o homem dos temores oriundos de vãs opiniões, atuando de maneira terapêutica, à semelhança de um remédio. Comparando as noções que a Carta nos revela com outras passagens que fazem referência a tais termos, podemos constatar que em nenhum momento Epicuro demonstra desprezo pela philosophía. Então, como podemos localizar e compreender os motivos que o levam a declarar a primazia de uma sabedoria sobre a outra? Para responder a essa pergunta, buscamos tanto os comentários de intérpretes já consagrados da tradição quanto os de intérpretes mais recentes. Além disso, traduzimos a Carta a Meneceu e algumas passagens do corpus epicurista / Abstract: We did an investigation of the theme of the primacy of the phrónesis over the philosophía in the Letter to Menoeceus, in some of the Maxims and Sentences of Epicurus and in some late testimonies. In the line 132 of the Letter to Menoeceus we read that the phrónesis is more precious than the philosophía. The phrónesis is taken as a practical and continuous wisdom, essential to the life of the sage, whereas the philosophía is taken as a theoretical wisdom and also as an "exercise", whose main goal is to free the man from the fears of vain opinions, acting in a therapeutic way, as a medicine. Comparing the notions which the Letter reveals with other passages that make reference to such terms, we note that Epicurus doesn't show contempt for the philosophía. So how can we locate and understand the reasons why the philosopher declares the primacy of the phrónesis over the philosophía? To answer this question we researched both comments of interpreters already enshrined in the tradition as the comments of the latest interpreters. In addition we translated the Letter to Menoeceus and some passages of the Epicurean corpus. / Mestrado / Filosofia / Mestre em Filosofia
