Le philosophe et théologien saint Anselme de Cantorbéry (1033—1109) offre une pensée riche de la liberté qui a été influente au Moyen Âge. Katherin A. Rogers a récemment jugé bon de mettre Anselme en dialogue avec la philosophie contemporaine par rapport au débat sur le libre arbitre. La présente étude approuve ce projet, mais rejette le rapprochement que Rogers opère entre Anselme et Harry G. Frankfurt (1929—) avec son Interprétation Hiérarchique. Cette étude se donne pour tâche, dans un premier temps, de reprendre à zéro une étude historique sur la liberté chez Anselme en l’abordant par différents angles d’approche dans chacun de ses cinq chapitres, et dans un deuxième temps et de manière secondaire, de mener à bien une conversation entre Anselme et la philosophie contemporaine analytique sur le libre arbitre. À travers ces chapitres sur la pensée anselmienne, l’on verra : ce qui constitue le fondement de la morale, de la causalité, de la possibilité, et de la nécessité ; les distinctions et les concepts autour desquels s’articule le problème de la liberté, notamment la distinction entre faire sponte et naturaliter ; qu’Anselme se classe parmi les penseurs libertariens par rapport au libre arbitre, mais avec d’importantes qualifications ; le concept de la liberté du choix et sa force insurpassable ; les différents sens du mot « volonté », soit la volonté-instrument, la volonté-usus, et les affections de la volonté ; ainsi que la solution qu’Anselme apporte au problème de la possibilité du mal. Dans une conclusion, plutôt que de rapprocher Anselme de Frankfurt, on l’associera avec la théorie nommée agent-causation, dont Roderick M. Chisholm (1916—1999) est un des plus grands représentants. / The philosopher and theologian Saint Anselm of Canterbury (1033—1109) offers a rich framework for thinking about freedom that has been influential in the Middle Ages. Katherin A. Rogers has recently judged right to put Anselm in dialogue with contemporary philosophy with regard to the debate on free will. The present study approves this project, but rejects the attempt to link Anselm with Harry G. Frankfurt (1929—) that Rogers operates with her Hierarchical Interpretation. This study gives itself the task, firstly, to rework from scratch a historical study on freedom in Anselm by tackling the subject from different vantage points in each of its five chapters, and secondly as well as secondarily, to establish communication between Anselm and contemporary analytical philosophy on the topic of free will. Throughout these chapters on Anselm’s philosophy, the following will be seen: what constitutes the foundation of morality, causality, possibility, and necessity; distinctions and concepts around which the problem of freedom articulates itself, in particular the distinction between doing sponte and naturaliter; that Anselm can be classified as a libertarian thinker regarding free will, but with important qualifications; the concept of freedom of choice and its unsurpassable strength; the three different senses of the word “will”: instrument of the will, usus of the will, and the affections of the will; as well as the solution that Anselm gives to the problem of the possibility of evil. In a conclusion, instead of bringing Anselm closer to Frankfurt, it is with the so-called agent-causation theory that he will be associated with, of which Roderick M. Chisholm (1916—1999) is one of the main upholders.

In South Africa, no occupational or professional councils for pastoral work exist as yet. In order to support pastoral counsellors in their negotiations to obtain professional status in this country, the presumed limitations and ineffectiveness of present mental health systems in South Africa is examined. Pastoral counselling as a possible national health resource is explored with reference to primary health care, freedom of choice, consumer rights, cost-effectiveness, spirituality, social change and reconciliation and multi-cultural application. Arguments are imbedded in relevant theory and supported by vignettes of suffering, survival, and redemption in spirituality. A postmodern, qualitative approach is used. Participants' narratives indicate that they have experienced healing through utilising their religion and spirituality. However, this study does not claim to provide conclusive proof that pastoral work is relevant in this country - it should be seen as part of a process which aims to develop pastoral counselling as a profession. / Practical Theology / M.

The constitutionality of affirmative action in terms of section 8 of Act 200 of 1993 is investigated. The study contends that in constitutional interpretation it is permissible to have recourse to ethical precepts as long as these are anchored within the four corners of the Constitution. It is contended that the •equality clause• does not prescribe equality of outcome in favour of substantive equality of opportunity. It is asserted that group-based affirmative action may justifiably be attacked as being unconstitutional; either on the basis that it infringes the nonbeneficiary's equality rights in terms of sections 8(1) and 8(2) or that it falls beyond the constitutional protection afforded to affirmative action in terms of section 8(3). Furthermore, group-based modalities of affirmative action may also not constitute a permissible limitation on the fundamental right to equality, if compared to an individual-based socio-economic affirmative action model. / Jurisprudence / LL.

Thesis: Abortion in the light of case law of European Court of Human Rights This thesis focuses on the legal regulation of abortion in selected European countries in order to find single European standard. It concentrates primarily on issues of assessing violations of particular articles of the Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms by the European Court of Human Rights or former European Commission of Human Rights in relation to specific cases associated with abortion. Abortion means the deliberate termination of pregnancy by means of surgery or administration of drugs to induce abortion. Abortion is a major ethical issue that raises number of discussions and disputes. The complexity of the problem is due to the fact that on the one hand there is the mother's right to freely decide to terminate or continue the pregnancy and on the other hand, there is considerable right of the embryo/foetus to life. The whole text of the thesis is interwoven with finding a balance between these competing interests of women and the unborn child based on my own opinion or the opinion of the international judicial body. It analyzes two main approaches, which are pro-choice approach in favour of women's freedom of choice, and pro- life approach arguing that the foetus has right to life. Both approaches...

Analisa o princípio da autonomia da vontade das partes contratantes em uma relação internacional privada, bem como o empreendedorismo como princípios que incentivam a livre iniciativa e a proteção a empresa, como figura primordial na proteção e crescimento de um país. O Código Civil brasileiro de 2002 trouxe vários princípios que norteiam e delimitam a vontade dos contratantes no momento de contratar, na execução dos contratos e na conclusão/extinção dos mesmos. Daí o estudo dos contratos nacionais e internacionais, as leis aplicáveis ao instituto e a compreensão da autonomia da vontade dos contratantes e seus limites impostos pelas convenções internacionais de Haia, de Viena e de Roma e pela UNIDROIT bem como os casos concretos e julgados dos principais conflitos.

La tesi propone una rilettura della teoria di negozio giuridico dall'inclusione della fiducia al centro di supporto fattuale per generare una prospettiva plurale e riflessiva della volontà. Intendiamo analizzare i contratti da un nuovo paradigma, a dimostrazione che l'inclusione della nozione di fiducia nel negozio giuridico, non solo in seguito alla dichiarazione di intenti, ma permettendo a questa analisi riflessiva, risposte a molte domande lasciate dalla teoria dello fatto giuridico che, cresciuto in un ambiente liberale, stabilito la volontà individuale delle parti come un singolo elemento che compone il centro del nucleo di un negozio giuridico. Oggi, la società di massa, i contratti di adesione e contrattazione elettronica, richiedono una revisione dei concetti di base della teoria generale del diritto civile. Così, questa tesi si propone analizzare, non solo la volontà delle parti in modo isolato, ma la fiducia (dalla nozione di vertrauen di diritto tedesco) che le manifestazioni del desiderio reciproco e usi del traffico causa in entrambi i contraenti. Pertanto, al cuore del negozio giuridico non sarebbero le uniche manifestazioni di volontà, ma un consenso che si verifica in modo dinamico, variabile a seconda degli altri elementi, la coniugazione tra l'espressione della volontà di un contraente e di fiducia reciproca e ha causato il consenso dell'altro contraente e la fiducia, legittimo affidamento, ha causato nel primo, considerando le circostanze aziendali. L'obiettivo è quello di studiare il rilassamento del principio di autonomia, che, pur essendo la base del diritto contrattuale, ai nostri tempi dovrebbero dare luogo ad una reinterpretazione della teoria del negozio giuridico, al fine di adattarlo alla realtà delle relazioni sociali, adattando le teorie classiche per includere le nozioni di funzione sociale del contratto, buona fede oggettiva, l'equilibrio economico delle patti, ecc, nella sua struttura teorica. / A tese propõe uma releitura da teoria do negócio jurídico a partir da inclusão da confiança no núcleo do suporte fático a gerar uma ótica plural e reflexa da vontade. Pretende-se a análise dos contratos a partir de um novo paradigma, demonstrando a inclusão da noção de confiança no negócio jurídico, não apenas acompanhando a manifestação de vontade, mas permitindo a análise reflexiva desta. Assim, deve responder a muitas dúvidas deixadas pela teoria do fato jurídico que, criada em um ambiente liberal, estabelecia a vontade individual das partes como único elemento a compor o cerne do núcleo de um negócio jurídico. Hoje, a sociedade de massas, os contratos de adesão e as contratações eletrônicas demandam uma revisão dos conceitos-base da teoria geral do direito civil. Esta tese pretende analisar, não apenas a vontade das partes de maneira isolada, mas a confiança (a partir da noção de vertrauen do direito alemão) que as manifestações de vontade recíprocas e os usos do tráfico provocam em ambos os contratantes. Portanto, no cerne do negócio jurídico não estariam apenas as manifestações da vontade, mas o consenso que se dá de modo dinâmico, variando de acordo com os outros elementos, conjugação entre a manifestação de vontade de um contratante, a confiança provocada no outro e a manifestação de vontade do outro contratante e a confiança, a legítima expectativa, provocada no primeiro, considerando-se as circunstâncias negociais. O objetivo do trabalho é estudar a flexibilização do princípio da autonomia da vontade que, apesar de ser a base do direito contratual, hodiernamente deve ensejar a releitura da teoria do negócio jurídico, a fim de adaptá-la à realidade das relações sociais e adequá-la às teorias clássicas ao incluir noções de função social do contrato, boa-fé objetiva, equilíbrio econômico dos pactos, etc., em sua estrutura teórica. / The thesis proposes a reinterpretation of the theory of legal business from the inclusion of the trust at the core of factual support to generate a plural and reflexive perspective of will. We intend to analyze the contracts from a new paradigm, demonstrating that the inclusion of the notion of trust in the legal business, not just following the declaration of intent, but allowing this reflective analysis, answers many questions left by the theory of legal fact who, raised in a liberal environment, established the individual will of the parties as a single element composing the core of the nucleus of a legal business. Today, mass society, contracts of adhesion and electronic contracting, demand a review of the basic concepts of the general theory of civil law. Thus, this thesis aims to analyze, not only the will of the parties in an isolated way, but confidence (from the notion of vertrauen in German law) that the manifestations of reciprocal desire and uses of traffic cause in both contractors. Therefore, at the heart of the legal business would not be the only manifestations of the will, but a consensus that occurs dynamically, varying according to the other elements, conjugation between the expression of the will of a contractor and trust in each other caused, and the consent from the other contractor and the trust, the legitimate expectation, caused on the first, considering the business circumstances. The objective is to study the flexibilization of the principle of freedom of choice, which, despite being the basis of contract law, in our times should give rise to a reinterpretation of the theory of legal business in order to adapt it to the reality of social relations, adapting the classical theories to include the notions of social function of the contract, objective good faith, economic balance of the pacts, etc., in his theoretical framework.
