Ronald Dworkin e a construção de uma teoria hermeneuticamente adequada da decisão jurídica democrática

Motta, Francisco José Borges 25 June 2014 (has links)
Submitted by Silvana Teresinha Dornelles Studzinski (sstudzinski) on 2015-03-25T23:59:51Z No. of bitstreams: 1 0000142C.pdf: 3493803 bytes, checksum: b888b7b4d1367f34552288f1f116937e (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2015-03-25T23:59:51Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 0000142C.pdf: 3493803 bytes, checksum: b888b7b4d1367f34552288f1f116937e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014 / Nenhuma / O presente trabalho visa a estabelecer as bases para a construção, a partir da obra de Ronald Dworkin, das premissas de uma teoria democrática da decisão jurídica que seja adequada para o Brasil. A ideia é identificar e discutir algumas das principais teses e hipóteses do jusfilósofo norte-americano, propondo uma apropriação de seus conceitos interpretativosno contexto da experiência constitucional brasileira. Para tanto, promove-se inicialmente uma discussão sobre o seu conceito de democracia (partnership conception) e sobre a sua concepção de revisão judicial da legislação (judicial review). A decisão jurídica é apresentada como uma questão de democracia, ideia que é defendida por meio de um contraste com o pensamento de Jürgen Habermas e Jeremy Waldron, e de uma aproximação com a perspectiva adotada, no Brasil, por Lenio Streck. Por meio de uma análise teórica e filosófica do debate Hart/Dworkin, são defendidas as seguintes premissas: a) a tarefa central da teoria jurídica contemporânea é normativa, no sentido de que deve fornecer critérios para a decisão; b) a verdade não é estranha ao domínio da Moral, sendo possível fazer juízos morais objetivos (há um debate, neste ponto, com o pensamento de Brian Leiter); e c) o Direito, desde um ponto de vista interpretativo, pode ser concebido como uma subdivisão da moralidade política, sem que isso prejudique a sua autonomia. O Direito é um conceito interpretativo e, no domínio da interpretação, são as ideias de responsabilidade e de valor que aproximam o argumento da verdade. Defende-se, assim, a epistemologia da responsabilidade proposta por Dworkin: quando se adere a uma prática interpretativa (um gênero interpretativo), atribui-se a esta um propósito e assume-se a responsabilidade de promover aquele valor. Este argumento pode ser iluminado pela Hermenêutica Filosófica de Hans-Georg Gadamer, cujos pontos de contato com o interpretativismo dworkiniano são investigados. Transportadas estas ideias para o âmbito do Direito, passa-se a defender a estratégia de leitura moral (moral reading) de dispositivos constitucionais. De acordo com a leitura moral, as decisões jurídicas devem ser geradas por princípios. A interpretação construtiva da Constituição leva à tese de que uma decisão jurídica e democraticamente correta deve ter a sua legitimidade confirmada de dois modos: por um lado, deve ser produto de um procedimento constitucionalmente adequado, por meio do qual se garanta, aos interessados, aquilo que Dworkin chama de participação moral; por outro, a decisão deve estar fundamentada numa interpretação que, dirigida à integridade, honre a responsabilidade enquanto virtude. A isso demos o nome de dupla dimensão da resposta correta. / This research aims to lay the basis for the construction of a democratic theory of legal decision, suitable for Brasil, grounded upon the work of Ronald Dworkin. The idea is to identify and discuss some of the main theses and hypotheses of the American legal philosopher, proposing an appropriation of his interpretive conceptsin the context of the Brazilian constitutional experience. In order to do so, it promotes a discussion of his concept of democracy (partnership conception) and of his conception of judicial review. Legal decision-making is presented as a question of democracy, and this point is argued by means of a contrast with the work of Jürgen Habermas and Jeremy Waldron, and by an approximation to the perspective adopted in Brazil by Lenio Streck. Through a theoretical and philosophical analysis of the Hart/Dworkin debate, the following assumptions are stated: a) the central task of legal theory is normative, meaning that it should provide criteria for decision-making; b) there is truth to be found in the Morality domain; it is therefore possible to make objetive moral judgements (there is a debate, at this point, with the ideas of Brian Leiter); and c) Law, from an interpretive standpoint, can be conceived as a branch of morality, without losing its autonomy. Law is an interpretive concept and, in the interpretation domain, ideas of responsability and valuepoint the argument toward the truth. Integrated epistemology, as proposed by Dworkin, is adopted here: when someone joins an interpretive practice (an interpretive genre), he not only sets a purpose to it, but he also assumes the responsability to promote that value. This argument may be illuminated by Hans-Georg Gadamer’sPhilosophical Hermeneutics, and the possible links between Gadamer’s work and dworkinian interpretivismare investigated. Once these ideias are brought into the Law realm, the moral reading of the Constitution strategy emerges. According to the moral readingthesis, legal decisions should be generated by principles. Constructive interpretation of constitutional provisions leads to the thesis that a legal and democratically correct decision should have its legitimacy confirmed in two ways: first, it must be the result of a constitutionally proper procedure, by which isguaranteed, to its participants, what Dworkin calls moral participation; second, the decision should be grounded upon an interpretation that aims to integrity and honors responsability as a virtue. This is what is called the double dimension of the right answer.

Mythe et sacré : le pouvoir des mots dans le Seigneur des anneaux

Dagenais-Pérusse, Michel January 2008 (has links) (PDF)
D'enfant intrigué par des inscriptions en gallois, Tolkien évolue vers un apprentissage précoce du latin, du grec et de nombreuses langues anciennes. Sa passion pour les langues ne se dément pas: bientôt il travaille à l'élaboration de langues inventées basées sur le finnois, puis il fonde un club de lecture de sagas en norrois. Dans son étude des langues, il s'intéresse aux anciens textes qui recèlent leur évolution: très vite, pour lui, le langage et le mythe sont indissociables. Le langage génère du mythe et ce dernier survit à travers les langages. Du propre aveu de l'auteur, c'est pour donner vie à ses langues inventés qu'il créa leur monde: « [...] il lui fallait une « histoire » pour lui servir de base. [...] Il mettait ce langage au point, maintenant il lui fallait trouver les gens dont ce serait la langue. » (Carpenter, 2002). En marge de ses recherches universitaires, il construit donc sa mythologie personnelle, un travail étalé sur toute une vie dont quelques vingt ans sur le seul Seigneur des Anneaux pour lequel il s'attarde minutieusement sur chaque mot: « It was begun in 1936, and every part has been written many times. Hardly a word in its 600 000 or more has been unconsidered. » (Carpenter, 1981). En parcourant la biographie de ce linguiste-écrivain, qui peut se surprendre de voir le langage comme personnage principal de son oeuvre Le Seigneur des Anneaux? Son récit se veut une reconstruction moderne basée sur les légendes anciennes qu'il affectionne et il y inclut à cet effet nombre des éléments langagiers, relevant souvent de la pensée mythique, qui donnent à ces récits anciens leur saveur particulière. Parmi ces éléments, nous avons relevé le traitement accordé à la nomination et celui accordé aux manifestations de la parole poétique que sont ces chants et poèmes que l'on retrouve égrenés dans la narration en prose. En premier lieu, nous exposerons l'intérêt de l'auteur pour le langage et les littératures médiévales (principalement germaniques et finnoise), notamment pour leurs techniques langagières particulières. Nous nous appuierons en cela sur ses essais consacrés aux sources et à la genèse du texte (Tolkien, 1981, 1997). Puis, nous mettrons en relief ce qui, de la pensée mythique, éclaire la perspective et l'utilisation par Tolkien du nom et de la parole poétique avec l'appui de l'essai de Mircea Eliade: Aspects du mythe. Ensuite, il nous faudra étudier la littérature médiévale germanique avec l'aide des ouvrages de Régis Boyer y ayant trait. Nous pourrons ensuite nous pencher sur la question du traitement de la nomination dans l'oeuvre de Tolkien: quel est sa nature, son sens et ses fonctions pour le récit et qu'est-ce qui la rattache à la pensée mythique? Enfin, nous nous intéresserons aux nombreux chants et poèmes propres à l'oeuvre. Nous verrons comment ils définissent des cultures, relatent un passé et des mythes; bref, comment ils ajoutent à la cohérence et à la profondeur de l'univers fictif dépeint. Ainsi, et plus que de simples artifices stylistiques, ces manifestations langagières singulières qui imprègnent Le Seigneur des Anneaux participent de la structure même du récit et sont étroitement liées à la pensée mythique: le langage, le mot, a un véritable pouvoir chez Tolkien. Voilà ce que ce travail tendra à démontrer. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Mythe, Nomination, Parole poétique, Fantasy.

Freedom from Want: Famine Relief in the Horn of Africa

Ruth, Christian T. 01 January 2016 (has links)
The United States, during both the Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan administrations, pursued humanitarian relief in the Horn of Africa and East Africa with an eye towards Cold War politics. During the Carter administration the focus was on Ethiopia and the regime of Mengistu Haile Mariam, while during the Reagan administration the United States’ efforts were mainly targeted towards Sudan and the regime of Gaffar Nimeiry. In both instances, the United States was concerned with the politics of the Cold War, trying to create a more positive image of the U.S. abroad by relieving world hunger, while also propping up governments that supported U.S. interests during the Cold War against the Soviet Union.

Generationsbaserade skillnader i arbetsvärderingar : En kvantitativ studie om arbetsvärderingar och generationer

Johannesson, Victor, Klasman, Marcus January 2017 (has links)
Det råder delade meningar när det gäller värderingsskillnader mellan generationer i arbetslivet. Diskussionen kring värderingsskillnader mellan generationer får därför ett uppsving när flera generationer samsas på arbetsplatser. Värderingsskillnaderna baseras dock ofta på stereotyper framför vetenskapligt bevisade skiljaktigheter. Studiens syfte är att identifiera olika arbetsvärderingar som existerar hos den svenska populationen samt undersöka hur dessa förhåller sig till olika generationer. Genom en faktoranalys identifieras fyra arbetsvärderingar hos den svenska populationen. Skillnaderna mellan de olika generationerna undersöks med hjälp av en Anova. Ronald Ingleharts teori Den tysta revolutionen menar att värderingar som prioriterar mer materiella ting som pengar bör successivt minska hos yngre generationer medan mer psykologiska värderingar som självförverkligande bör öka. Denna studie visar att Den tysta revolutionens predicering inte helt stämmer in på den svenska populationen. Studiens resultat visar att arbetsvärderingar är stabila över tid och att olika generationer värderar arbete på olika sätt.

Modernized Myth, Beowulf, J.R.R. Tolkien, and The Lord of the Rings

Simpson, Dale W. (Dale Wilson) 05 1900 (has links)
This study views J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy against its Anglo-Saxon background, specifically in light of Tolkien's 1936 Beowulf essay, and contends that the author consciously attempted to recreate the mood of the heroic poem. Chapter I compares Tolkien's use of historical perspective in Lord of the Rings with that of the Beowulf poet. His recognition of the poet's artistic use of history is stated in the "Beowulf" essay. Chapter II makes comparisons between Good and Evil as they are revealed in Beowulf and in the trilogy. Once again, much of the evidence for this comparison is found in Tolkien's Beowulf criticism. Chapter III examines the comitatus relationship fundamental to the heroic poem and to Lord of the Rings. It is the major element in Tolkien's portrayal of Good. Chapter IV concludes the study by asserting that the trilogy must be viewed as an heroic elegy, in exactly the same way that Tolkien viewed Beowulf. Thus, the theme of the trilogy, like Beowulf, is the mutability of man.

Madison, Hamilton, and Reagan: The Limits of Executive Power in Foreign Policy and the Reagan Intervention in Nicaragua

Lallinger, Stefan 20 May 2011 (has links)
The distribution of power between the executive branch and the legislative branch in the realm of foreign policy is a delicate balance and one that has been debated since the Founding Fathers met in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787. The debate has gotten no less intense and no less crucial in the modern, nuclear age, and it remains unresolved. The Reagan administration's foray into Nicaragua during the 1980's and its confrontations with Congress during that time period illuminate the complexities of the power-sharing arrangement in foreign policy and offer the ideal case study of executive-legislative war power. The lessons to be drawn from America's involvement in Nicaragua are that the expanded Presidential power in the realm of foreign policy are necessary for the safety of the country in today's world, but dangerous without the vigorous oversight and ultimate check by Congress.

O ponto central é compreender a atuação dos princípios na teoria dworkiniana da decisão judicial tentando desvelar seu modelo de justificação subjacente. A exposição está subdividia em três partes. Na primeira, destinada ao célebre debate Hart-Dworkin, procura-se entender donde surgiu a ênfase aos princípios, não com uma repetição do embate argumentativo, mas, sobretudo, demonstrando as limitações teóricas e filosóficas do empreendimento hartiano e como os princípios as evidenciam. Na segunda, desenvolve-se um panorama geral da principiologia jurídica em Dworkin, relacionando com os conceitos-chave de sua teoria, tais como: a crítica à discricionariedade judicial; a tese dos direitos; a tese da (única) resposta correta; a comunidade de princípios e a concepção do “Direito como Integridade”. Na terceira e última, a discussão se voltará ao Coerentismo, especificamente, ao procedimento do equilíbrio reflexivo de Rawls e a sua incorporação na teoria da decisão de Dworkin, sendo, para tanto, indispensável à atuação dos princípios para a coerência do sistema jurídico e para a verificabilidade da correção das respostas judiciais. / This master's thesis is a (moral) reading of the theoretical conception of Ronald Dworkin about the legal principles. The main point is to understand the role of the principles in dworkinian theory of judicial decision trying to reveal its underlying justification model. This thesis is subdivided into three parts. In the first one, addressed for the famous Hart-Dworkin debate, the goal is to try to understand whence came the emphasis on principles, not as a repetition of the argumentative struggle, but, above all, demonstrating the theoretical and philosophical limitations of the hartian project and how the principles evidence them. In the second part, it is developed an overview of the legal set of principles in Dworkin, relating to the key concepts of his theory, such as: the critique of the judicial discretion; the thesis of the rights; the thesis of (only one) correct answer; the commonality of principles and the "Law as Integrity" conception. In the third and last part, the discussion will turn to Coherentism, specifically to the procedure of Rawls' reflective equilibrium and its incorporation in Dworkin's adjudication theory, and, therefore, indispensable to the role of the principles for the legal system coherence and to the verifiability of the correction of judicial responses.

Ronald Fisher e a eugenia: estatística, evolução e genética na busca da civilização permanente / Ronald Fisher and eugenics: statistics, evolution and genetics in the quest for permanent civilization

No. of bitstreams: 1 Rodrigo Andrade da Cruz.pdf: 2363690 bytes, checksum: 6e3f1554dbccc52ab3eb3c9c79ef1b3f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-09-12 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / In the beginning of the 20th century, England was the stage for an intense debate on the mechanisms of inheritance and their relationship with evolution. To the biologists known as gradualists it was impossible to reconcile Mendelian genetics with Darwinian thought. In turn, advocates of saltationism admitted Mendelian inheritance, but put the foundations of evolution theory into question. This opposition defines the context for the work of Ronald Fisher, who through the use of statistics was able to bridge the gap between the contending positions and thus contributed to the formulation of so-called evolutionary synthesis or Neodarwinism. However, the literature often passes over the fact that the background for the debate and formulation of evolutionary synthesis was provided by eugenics, namely, the science that sought to improve humankind through the control of reproduction. To be sure, eugenics called the attention of Fisher since his youth, and in time he became one of its main developers and advocates. A large part of the theoretical-conceptual grounds of contemporary statistics and population genetics was formulated as a function of Fisher’s concerns with the phenomenon he called differential fertility. According to him, the higher reproduction rates of ‘inadequate’ people by comparison to the ‘best stocks’ was the main cause of the problems humankind had to deal with all along history and also in his time / No início do século XX ocorreram na Inglaterra intensos debates sobre os mecanismos de hereditariedade e suas vinculações com o darwinismo. Uma corrente de biólogos, denominada gradualista, hesitava em aceitar os preceitos mendelianos. Segundo esses não havia composição entre a genética mendeliana e o darwinismo. Por sua vez, a corrente denominada saltacionista, aceitava a genética mendeliana, porém questionava os fundamentos darwinistas de evolução. É nesse contexto que o trabalho de Ronald Fisher se destaca. Ele é considerado um dos principais responsáveis pela formulação da síntese neodarwiniana, ao utilizar a estatística como conciliadora de ambas as correntes. Como pano de fundo das formulações de Fisher e de vários outros naturalistas do período, entretanto, estava a eugenia: a ciência do melhoramento da espécie humana a partir do controle da reprodução. Desde muito jovem as ideias eugênicas chamaram a atenção de Fisher – que se tornou um de seus grandes formuladores e defensores. Grande parte da formulação teórico-conceitual da estatística e da genética de populações foi elaborada sob a preocupação com o fenômeno que Fisher denominou de fertilidade diferencial. Para ele, as maiores taxas de reprodução dos “inadequados” em comparação às ‘melhores linhagens’ humanas era a maior causa dos problemas que a humanidade enfrenta e enfrentou ao longo de toda a história
