<p> Nicholas Wolterstorff, working within the context of Reformed Epistemology, has come to an understanding of knowledge which more accurately reflects the process of knowledge and belief that people experience than the foundational system to which he responds. He reacts to Immanuel Kant and John Locke, using arguments put forward by Thomas Reid, and building on these arguments with his own understanding.</p> <p> Kant, Wolterstorff argues, had put distance between a person and what she could perceive about and attribute to God. Since she cannot have an experience of God, she experience5what Wolterstorff calls the 'Kantian agony'-she cannot discuss God without first discussing God's existence.</p> <p> Locke, Wolterstorff argues, had put distance between a person and what she could believe. Locke, to whom Wolterstorff responds quite extensively, had argued that a person must use reason to govern her beliefs, and base her system of knowledge on propositions which can be known with certainty. </p> <p> Reid responded to this system, which he called the 'theory of ideas', arguing that it entailed a skepticism about the world which no one could live by. He argued that people must assume things about the world, such as that it exists, in order to be able to live and work in it. Responding directly to the way that the way of ideas theorists understood perception.</p> <p> Wolterstorff takes this understanding of perception and Reid's notion of belief-producing dispositions, and sets up a non-foundation account of knowledge which has room for religious faith. His system is a situational system, in which every person must govern their beliefs based on the system of beliefs in which they find themselves. This system, he argues more accurately reflects the way in which people come to knowledge, rather then the Kantian or Lockean (foundational) system.</p> / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

No. of bitstreams: 1 PGCA14MA132.pdf: 991001 bytes, checksum: eefa5f60207701858930a20aa7ef6fb9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-02-28 / One experiment was conducted with the purpose of evaluate the effect of different feeding management of commercial turkeys in the finishing phase on the production performance and carcass yield at the slaughter. The project was composed of two stages, the first being the animal growth in an experimental facility of the BRF company, placed in Chapeco, west of Santa Catarina state in Brazil, and the second, the evaluation of carcass yield and body composition in one slaughterhouse of the same company. 920 turkey males of Nicholas 700 breed were placed in 40 boxes of 8m²/each, which formed the experimental unit of 23 birds each. The poults were placed with one day old and were submitted to the same conditions, according to the breed guide orientations until 91 days old, when started the evaluation period, which had 9 weeks of duration and have ended at 154 days. The diets were formulated according to the recommendations of the breed guide and the experiment was compound of four feeding managements (treatments), based on feed consumption per bird, described as following: one ad libitum, were the feed was available all the time to the birds, and three controlled which had different feed quantities in between each one and were divided in two daily manages, one at 8 a.m. and other at 3 p.m. So, the feed quantities ranged by 100% of the recommendation of the breed guide, 95% and 90%. At the end of the period, 2 birds per box were identified, weighted, slaughtered and submitted to carcass evaluation. The feeding management of commercial turkeys on the finishing phase showed significant differences on feed consumption, live weight, weight gain and feed conversion (P<0,05), as well as breast yield (P<0,05), with better results on the birds on treatment 1 or consumption ad libitum. Thus, it can be concluded that feeding management of turkeys on the finishing phase has negative effect on production performance. Providing controlled feed and feed restriction does not affect the carcass yield and other carcass characteristics, however, feed restriction results in lower breast yield. Providing feed ad libitum, controlled feed and feed restriction results better breast yield at 154 days than at 140 days. Providing controlled feed and feed restriction results in economic losses, raising the production costs / Um experimento foi conduzido com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito de diferentes manejos alimentares de perus machos de linhagem comercial na fase de terminação sobre o desempenho zootécnico e rendimento de carcaça ao abate. O projeto constou de duas etapas, sendo a primeira, a criação em aviário experimental da empresa BRF, localizada na cidade de Chapecó, no oeste do estado de Santa Catarina, e a segunda, a avaliação de carcaça e composição corporal em abatedouro da mesma empresa. Foram utilizados 920 machos, da linhagem comercial Nicholas 700, alojados em 40 boxes de 8m²/cada, que constituíram a unidade experimental composta por 23 aves por box. As aves foram alojadas com um dia de idade, criadas em condições idênticas de acordo com o padrão da linhagem até os 91 dias de idade, e então submetidas ao período de avaliação, o qual teve 9 semanas de duração e finalizou aos 154 dias. As rações foram formuladas de acordo com as exigências nutricionais recomendadas pelo manual da linhagem e o experimento foi constituído de quatro manejos de alimentação (tratamentos), baseados no consumo de ração por ave, sendo um à vontade, onde a ração ficou disponível permanentemente para as aves, e 3 controlados, os quais foram divididos em dois tratos diários (8h e 15h), com quantidades de ração diferentes entre si, sendo 100% do recomendado pelo manual da linhagem, 95% do recomendado pelo manual da linhagem e 90% do recomendado pelo manual da linhagem. Avaliou-se o desempenho zootécnico semanal e global e ao final do experimento, duas aves por repetição foram abatidas para avaliação de rendimento de carcaça. Os diferentes manejos alimentares interferiram no consumo de ração, peso médio, ganho de peso e conversão alimentar (P<0,05), bem como no rendimento de peito (P<0,05), apresentando melhores resultados nas aves com alimentação à vontade. Assim, manejos de alimentação com fornecimento controlado e com restrição de ração na fase de terminação de perus de corte machos tem efeito negativo sobre o desempenho zootécnico. Fornecimento controlado de ração e de restrição alimentar aplicados na fase de terminação não afetam o rendimento e demais características da carcaça de perus de corte machos, entretanto, resultam em menor rendimento de peito. Fornecimento de ração à vontade, controlado e de restrição alimentar aplicados na fase de terminação promovem maior rendimento de peito ao abate aos 154 em relação aos 140 dias. Fornecimento controlado de ração e de restrição alimentar na fase de terminação de perus de corte machos resulta em perdas econômicas, elevando os custos de produção
