O propósito deste trabalho é examinar a constituição sistemática e histórica da teoria da linguagem de Habermas. Seguindo as indicações do próprio Habermas, segundo as quais essa teoria constitui-se como uma \"pragmática formal apoiada em Kant\", uma \"pragmática formal de herança kantiana\" ou, ainda, um \"kantismo lingüístico\", analisamos em um primeiro momento a maneira como ela promove a convergência de duas linhagens filosóficas aparentemente inconciliáveis: a filosofia kantiana e da virada lingüística. Dito de uma maneira mais específica, analisamos a maneira como ela atualiza o motivo da \"transformação pragmática da filosofia kantiana\", central para a segunda linhagem. Em seguida, comentamos a exposição da teoria da linguagem na década de 1970, quando esta assume a forma de uma teoria da competência comunicativa, associada a uma teoria da verdade como consenso. Por fim, comentamos as modificações que Habermas propõe para sua teoria sobretudo na década de 1980, mostrando como ele procura responder às críticas a que foi submetido. / The aim of this work is to examine the systematic and the historical constitution of Habermas\'s theory of language. By following his own suggestions, according to which it constitutes itself as a \"formal pragmatics tied to Kant\", a \"Kantian formal pragmatics\" or a \"linguistic Kantianism\", we analyze at the first moment how it promotes the convergence of two apparently incompatible philosophical lineages: the Kantian philosophy and the linguistic turn. More specifically, we analyze how it up dates the motive of the \"pragmatic transformation of Kantian philosophy\", fundamental for the second lineage. Later on, we comment on the presentation of the theory of language in the 1970s, when it assumes the form of a theory of communicative competence, associated to a consensus theory of truth. Finally, we comment on the modifications that Habermas proposes to his theory mainly in the 1980s, showing how he tries to respond to the criticism to which he had been exposed.

Um dos grandes problemas encontrados é a não consideração ou o exame superficial da relação existente entre a psicologia empírica e a antropologia pragmática. Por conta disso, há ainda muitos problemas interpretativos que permanecem sem uma solução apropriada. Um deles é a falta de clareza a respeito de uma afirmação feita por Kant, em sua obra de 1781, referente à relação entre a psicologia empírica e a antropologia. O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de compreender melhor tal afirmação e, além disso, através do exame detalhado da relação entre estes dois campos, apresentar de forma mais completa as concepções de Kant a respeito da psicologia. A tese geral defendida é a de que essa relação precisa ser considerada e examinada com profundidade para se compreender de forma adequada o que Kant realmente quis dizer na obra de 1781 e a amplitude de suas concepções sobre a psicologia. / Many ideas of Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) about psychology are still understood, generally, in a very incomplete way or with distortions and misinterpretations in the specialized secondary literature, but mainly in textbooks about history of psychology. A major problem encountered is that there is no consideration or just a superficial examination of the relationship between empirical psychology and pragmatic anthropology. Because of this, there are still many interpretative problems that remain without a proper solution. One of them is the lack of clarity regarding a statement made by Kant in his work of 1781, concerning the relationship between empirical psychology and anthropology. This study aims to better understand this statement and, moreover, through the detailed examination of the relationship between these two fields, to present more fully Kant’s conceptions about psychology. The general thesis defended is that this relationship needs to be considered and examined in depth for the adequate understanding of what Kant really meant in his work of 1781 and the range of his conceptions concerning psychology.

[pt] O objetivo da dissertação é caracterizar o pensamento a partir da exigência de uma consideração da estética, isto é, do mundo sensível, no contexto de esgotamento da compreensão metafísica que a opunha ao supra-sensível. Em outras palavras, trata-se de formular a questão sobre o acesso do pensamento à realidade sem recorrer aos parâmetros transcendentes tradicionais que, embora garantissem orientação, também submetiam o mundo sensível a regras prévias estranhas a ele. No contexto do pensamento moderno, essa possibilidade ganhou corpo, talvez pela primeira vez, na reflexão de Kant sobre o belo. Nela, a experiência estética tornou-se livre dos interesses cognitivos ou morais que a submetiam a um regime conceitual ou racional. Isso significou a abertura para uma maneira desinteressada de pensar, a partir da qual não mais se pergunta a verdade sobre uma coisa, mas sim a verdade da coisa. Ou seja, ao invés de subsumir um particular a uma regra universal prévia, o pensamento desinteressado precisa achar a universalidade daquele particular na sua singularidade, precisa achar a verdade que mora na coisa, e não fora dela. Sob a égide dessa questão, buscou-se detalhar a interpretação do desinteresse, o que levou não só ao exame de sua presença no pensamento de Kant, mas também no de Schopenhauer e Nietzsche, além de referências a autores contemporâneos, explícitas e implícitas, especialmente Martin Heidegger, Walter Benjamin e Hannah Arendt. / [en] The objective in this dissertation is to characterize thought from the requirement of a consideration of aesthetic, that is, of the sensible world, in the context of exhaustion of the Metaphysical understanding that opposed it to the non-sensible. In other words, it intends to formulate the question of the access of thought to reality without resorting to traditional transcendental parameters that, while providing orientation, also subjugated the sensible world to previous rules alien to it. In the context of modern thought, this possibility took form, perhaps for the first time, in the reflections of Kant on beauty. In it, the aesthetic experience was freeed from the cognitives or moral interests that submitted it to conceptual or rational constraints. This meant opening the way for a disinterested approach to thinking, in which one does not ask the truth about a thing, but the truth of the thing. Instead of subordinating the particular to a previous universal rule, disinterested thought seeks to find the universality of that particular in its own singularity. It needs to find the truth that dwells within the thing, and does not stand outside of it. Against the background of this question, this dissertation details the interpretation of disinterestedness, that not only led to the examination of its position in the thought of Kant, but also in that of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, in addition to the references, explicit and implicit, to contemporary authors, especially Martin Heidegger, Walter Benjamin and Hannah Arendt.

Thesis advisor: Ronald K. Tacelli / This dissertation aims to examine the notion of 'human dignity' in Kant by means of a conversation with three Kantian scholars. One cannot understand Kant's notion of human dignity without placing it in the context of his moral thought. For this reason we look in Chapter One at the philosopher Roger Sullivan. His major work Immanuel Kant's moral theory includes a highly detailed treatment of human dignity. I shall present an analysis of his understanding within the context of his methodology and his general approach to Kant's moral philosophy. We look in Chapter Two at Susan Shell and her 'Kant on Human Dignity.' In addition to this, we consider Shell's methodology and some of her work on the early Kant where we find the roots of Kant's conception of dignity. Chapter Three addresses Oliver Sensen and his novel interpretation of Kant's use of the term 'dignity.' Utilizing the tools of Analytical Philosophy, he enters into dialogue with Kantian interpreters, suggesting that their understanding of dignity in Kant harbours elements at odds with Kant's thought and that they thus fail to grasp the radical nature of Kant's notion. In the final and Fourth Chapter, I try to bring these scholars into a conversation with each other. First, I show the strengths of each position and then, using insights of Sullivan, Shell and Sensen, I venture to ask whether one could not develop the notion of a phenomenology of dignity. I also consider whether in both Shell's and Sensen's account there is not an implicit dynamic at work, which suggests the necessity of transcendence and the Good. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2014. / Submitted to: Boston College.

O objetivo deste trabalho é o de fazer uma reflexão sobre a legitimidade da restrição da autonomia da pessoa para a proteção de sua dignidade, dando destaque para os casos que envolvem sua exposição na mídia televisiva. A partir do moderno conceito de dignidade humana, que confere ao Homem um valor intrínseco e absoluto, diferenciado em relação às coisas, em razão de sua capacidade de ditar suas próprias leis, sendo dotado, portanto, como proposto por Immanuel Kant, de uma autonomia, pretende-se analisar se os tratamentos a que se sujeitam as pessoas que voluntariamente participam de determinados tipos de programas televisivos constituem, de fato, uma ofensa à sua dignidade e se, por tal motivo, seria justificável a proibição de tais participações. Será feita uma abordagem, no desenvolvimento do trabalho, a respeito da elaboração do moderno conceito de dignidade humana e sua relação com a autonomia, a qual permite à pessoa formar suas convicções de acordo com seus próprios valores, direito que lhe é reconhecido pelo Estado democrático moderno. Far-se-á um estudo a fim de se tentar compreender se realmente constitui a dignidade humana um princípio ou valor absoluto segundo critérios objetivos que autorizem a limitação da autonomia da pessoa para protegê-la sem que isso configure uma ingerência indevida, por parte do Estado, em sua liberdade individual. / This paper aims at doing a reflection about the legitimacy of the restriction of the person\'s autonomy for protecting his/her dignity, emphasizing the cases involving his/her exposition on TV media. Based on the modern concept of human dignity, that confers to man an intrinsic and absolute value, that makes him different of things, due to his capacity of doing his own laws, having, thus, as purposed by Immanuel Kant, an autonomy, the intention is to do an analysis if some treatments given to people that voluntarily participate in some kind of TV programs do represent a violation to their own dignity, and, for this reason, if it\'s justifiable to forbid people to take part in such programs. In the development of this paper will be made a study about the elaboration of the modern concept of human dignity and it\'s relation to autonomy, which allows a person to form his/her convictions according to his/her own values, what is recognized as his/her right in a modern democratic State. It\'ll be done a study to understand if human dignity is indeed an absolute principle or value according to objective criteria that authorizes the limitation of the autonomy of the person to protect him/her without making it represent an improper interference of the State in his/her individual freedom.

Rousseau and Kant were philosophers of freedom. Both believed freedom was the essence of humanity, and both believed that "freedom is self-legislation." This thesis examines what they understood to be self-legislation. According to Rousseau natural freedom was lost with the establishment of society. Society is an "unnatural" order and the true basis of society is simply convention. Man is free only if he is subject to laws of his own making, or at least to those laws to which he has consented. The ideal state, according to Rousseau, is the republic based on laws that have been created and adopted by each members of the community. It is in this sense of freedom, for Rousseau, is self-legislation. Kant believed the important issue was demonstrating the metaphysical possibility of freedom, not the reconstruction of society. Kant argued that freedom could be demonstrated, and morality reaffirmed, by focusing on the 11 ought" of reason. The 11 ought 11 transcends the physical world and was a pure law of reason. It is not subject to the physical laws of causality. Man has the ability to act according to this law of reason. Man is transcending the physical realm, and the physical laws of nature, whenever he makes a moral decision based on what he 11 ought 11 to do, or whenever he puts duty before his physical desire. This, Kant argues, is self-legislation, and only here may man hope to be free.

The diploma thesis named What may we hope for? Immanuel Kant's Philosophy of Religion has the goal to explore Kant's philosophy of religion to answer the question what a reasonable human being may hope for according to I. Kant. To reach the above mentioned goal we are going to deal with Kant's ethics of duty in the first chapter trying to find the answer to the question how the reasonable human being shall live to be able to hope at least. In the second chapter we focus on Kant's critique of proof of God's existence which precedes Kant's fundamental study about postulates of pure practical reason. From the third chapter we begin to map Kant's philosophy of religion chronologically. We enter Kant's prior to critical period and we try to interpret Kant's letter in which we can find the first important statements of our philosopher towards Christianity. Along with the fourth chapter we step into Kant's critical period and we process already mentioned study about postulates of pure practical reason. The last two chapters draw from I. Kant's post-critical document. In the chapter named About Human Nature we meet with Kant's concept of human nature, further we also compare where this concept corresponds with or perhaps differs from the previous philosophical periods of our philosopher. In the last...
