The purpose of this study is to describe how an editor of choral editions, Maynard Klein (1910–1990), influenced the formation of the educational choral canon and educators’ practices. A secondary purpose is to investigate the choral literature selection practices of educators from 1950–1975. The questions that were used to guide the study were: 1. How did the editions of Maynard Klein influence choral directors at the time? 2. How do choral directors who were active during 1950–1975 describe how they selected choral literature? What were the influences on their selection? To answer these questions, three choral directors who were active during 1950–1975 were interviewed about their selection processes for their materials. The interviews were analyzed using two theoretical concepts of Pierre Bourdieu, habitus and field. The present study used the editions of Maynard Klein to determine whether an editor impacted the habitus of choral directors active prior to 1975 and the field of educational choral literature. An analysis of Klein’s editorial work and the interview transcripts showed that as an editor, Klein impacted directors as well as the educational choral canon by making his editions accessible in several ways. Klein provided tools such as a piano reduction and English translation that made their classroom work easier. These tools influenced the repertoire decisions of teachers and impacted the canon of educational choral music at an important time in its formation.

Procuramos demonstrar que a interpretação de Keynes diverge qualitativamente do pensamento desta Tradição Marxista. Enquanto Keynes via o capitalismo enquanto um economia monetária da produção cujo problema seria o aprofundamento do grau de incerteza e instabilidade associada à uma "hipertrofia" das finanças, esta Tradição Marxista via o capital enquanto um modo de produção e dominação específico, antagônico e transitório, no qual a categoria capital financeiro representaria a fusão entre as formas parciais de capital sobre a forma monopolista, constituindo uma oligarquia financeira, concentrando poder econômico e político. Enquanto Keynes acreditava na autonomia absoluta do Estado em resolver, sob formas persuasivas, mediante uma elite esclarecida, os problemas da época, conduzindo a sociedade ao reino da abundância, esta Tradição Marxista via uma maior aglutinação subordinada do Estado aos interesses incontroláveis de expansão do capital financeiro, fazendo com que o Imperialismo, uma relação de força e dominação exercida necessariamente pela violência, se imponha como necessidade histórica, intensificando a barbárie em escala mundial / Abstract: This work compares the interpretations of the "new capitalism" that emerges from the late nineteenth century between Keynes and the Marxist Tradition that relates the finance capital and Imperialism (Lenin, Bukharin and Hilferding), and its implications with regard to the characteristics of National State, the nature of the international order, and political relations. We demonstrated that the interpretation of Keynes differs qualitatively in relation on the Marxist Tradition's thinking. As Keynes looked for the capitalism as a monetary production economy whose problem would deepen the degree of uncertainty and instability associated with a "hypertrophy" of finance, this Marxist Tradition looked for the capital as a mode of production and domination specifically antagonist and transitory, in which the financial capital category represents the fusion between the partial forms of capital on the monopolist phase, constituting a financial oligarchy, concentrating economic and political power. While Keynes believed in the absolute autonomy of the State in solve, under persuasive forms, by an enlightened elite, the problems of the time, leading the society into the realm of abundance, this Marxist Tradition looked for a greater agglutination subordinated of the State to the uncontrollable interesting of capital financial expansion, causing Imperialism, a relation of power and domination exercised necessarily by violence, imposes itself as historical necessity, intensifying barbarism worldwide / Mestrado / Ciências Economicas / Mestre em Ciências Econômicas

As a central tenet of falsificationism, Karl Popper holds that all possible scientific theories individually have a probability equal to zero. Popper’s position rests upon the Principle of Indifference, the equiprobability of mutually exclusive outcomes, to derive this zero probability. In this paper, I will illustrate that the Principle of Indifference fails to compute objective probabilities in cases in which an epistemic agent faces ignorance. Prior to experience, there is no sufficient reason to prefer any probability distribution to any other; yet, the Principle of Indifference implies a preference for a uniform probability distribution. Distribution preference is determined by the relevant experience and rational expectations of epistemic agents. Relevant experience is defined by observations and other sense experience regarding the relevant trial. Rational expectations represents the non-arbitrarity of distribution preference. Without rational expectations, the distribution preference is arbitrary even when informed by experience. If an agent lacks relevant experience, then any distribution preference is arbitrary; however, if an agent possesses relevant experience, then the Principle of Indifference does not apply. A rejection of the Principle of Indifference undermines the necessity of zero probabilities for scientific theories in which case Popper’s conclusions of falsificationism do not follow. Objective probability, then, understood within the logical interpretation, is a problematic notion.
