O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar as possíveis respostas apresentadas pelo ideal de autenticidade aliado ao reconhecimento à cultura da autenticidade no pensamento de Charles Taylor. A partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, utilizando o método de abordagem analítico, articulamos o trabalho dissertativo, intitulado Autenticidade e reconhecimento em Charles Taylor, em três momentos: i) a cultura da autenticidade, ii) o ideal de autenticidade e o iii) reconhecimento. Por cultura da autenticidade entendemos a cultura contemporânea responsável pelo desvio do ideal de autenticidade, gerando assim três mal-estares, a saber: o individualismo moderno, a primazia da razão instrumental e o atomismo político. Trata-se pois de apresentar, com Taylor, o ideal moral que está subjacente à modernidade, ou seja, o ideal de autenticidade, o qual permite que cada indivíduo encontre e expresse uma maneira original de ser no interior de uma comunidade de significado, isto é, levando em consideração todas as demandas que transcendem o self. Tendo presente que o ser humano só pode expressar sua identidade no diálogo com outras identidades, ou até mesmo no conflito com o outro, apresentamos o conceito de reconhecimento vinculado à busca pela autenticidade porque o indivíduo só pode ser com o outro e consequentemente reconhecido pelo outro, isto é, não há autenticidade sem reconhecimento. Portanto, o ideal de autenticidade, segundo Taylor, precisa passar por um processo de recuperação que resgate seu significado e, assim, possa contribuir com a realidade hodierna. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-07-10T11:14:04Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Odair Camati.pdf: 974329 bytes, checksum: 30921b329847790b430e5126fd896e7a (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-07-10T11:14:04Z (GMT).

Therefore, the ideal of authenticity, according to Taylor, need to go through a recovery process that rescue its meaning and thus can contribute to today's reality.

Tubos de acrílico com 2,0 m de comprimento e diâmetros internos de 0,019; 0,024 e 0,034 m foram parcialmente enchidos com os líquidos, deixando-se um bolsão de ar de comprimento L0, em seu topo. As bolhas foram geradas através da inversão desses tubos. Inicialmente, estudou-se o desenvolvimento dos filmes líquidos em queda ao redor de bolhas ascendendo em tubos verticais, em uma ampla faixa do número da viscosidade inversa Nf (15 Nf 22422). Foram medidas as velocidades das bolhas Ub, seus comprimentos Lb, bem como as espessuras de equilíbrio dos filmes eq e os seus comprimentos de desenvolvimento Z*. Correlações disponíveis na literatura para estimar eq foram avaliadas. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que o filme de líquido tende a atingir uma espessura de equilíbrio. Porém, à medida que Nf aumenta, bolhas mais longas foram necessárias para que esse equilíbrio ocorresse. Correlações empíricas foram propostas para estimar eq e Z*, respectivamente. Na sequência, a ascensão das bolhas em tubos inclinados foi estudada, levando-se em consideração os seus perfis inferiores, superiores e laterais. Foram identificadas diferenças entre os perfis usualmente descritos na literatura, mais característicos de bolhas bidimensionais, e aqueles observados em tubos cilíndricos. Foram identificadas, também, diferenças no comportamento de bolhas ascendendo em líquidos mais viscosos e menos viscosos. Os resultados obtidos permitem uma melhor compreensão do comportamento das bolhas, no interior de tubos inclinados, e a sua influência sobre parâmetros interfaciais, tais como as velocidades das bolhas Ub.

Neste trabalho utilizouse a versão 17.0 do CFX devidamente licenciado para o Instituto de Engenharia - IEN. A primeira parte dedicou-se à simulação em 3 dimensões de uma experiência de escoamento por diferença de densidade, de um bolsão de ar de 100,0 mm de comprimento, em uma fase líquida Inicialmente Estagnada dentro de um tubo de acrílico com 24,0 mm de diâmetro e 2,0 m de comprimento. Na experiência este bolsão de ar é posicionado na parte inferior do tubo pela rápida rotação do tubo assumindo a posição vertical e em ângulos de inlinação de 2,5°, 5°, 7,5°, 10° e 15°. O presente trabalho visou comparar os resultados computacionais com os experimentais. Este estudo demandou um tempo considerável para desenvolvimento, por causa das condições de execução da experiência serem ainda pouco abordadas em termos de simulação computacional. Foram necessários vários ajustes e tentativas, até se alcançar resultados satisfatórios próximos da realidade física da experiência. Neste primeiro estudo o objetivo foi conseguir nas simulações o aspecto morfológico do bolsão de ar e sua velocidade de deslocamento através de uma fase líquida composta de água ou glicerina, o mais próximo possível dos resultados experimentais. Na segunda parte deste estudo, fez-se a simulação por meio do software, de um experimento em construção destinado a ensaiar escoamentos bifásicos ascendentes com circulação forçada, numa tubulação de acrílico de 52,5 mm de diâmetro e 8,0 m de comprimento. Utilizou-se como guia neste estudo, um mapa de escoamentos bifásicos verticais ascendentes ar-água, notadamente reconhecido e elaborado por Taitel et al em 1980. Determinados pontos neste mapa, correspondentes aos tipos de escoamentos bifásicos verticais foram selecionados, e os dados de velocidade superficial de cada fase usados como condição de contorno nas simulações computacionais. Foram realizadas ainda, simulações com esses mesmos dados para condições de inclinação do escoamento de 15°, 30° e 45°. Estas simulações foram executadas em modo transiente no tempo decorrido de 15 s. O resultados visuais obtidos foram em perfis de variação sobre um plano e em 3 dimensões por isovolumes, ambos representando a variação dos parâmetros fração volumétrica, velocidade física e superficial. Foram obtidos os gráficos de fração volumétrica e velocidades fisica e superficial das fases para este tempo e as inclinações estipuladas. Através desses gráficos constatou-se que as variações significativas nos escoamentos ocorrem na faixa de 0° a 15°, e que a partir de 15° até 45° estas são pouco expressivas. / In the present work, a study was carried out on two-phase gas-liquid flows, vertical and inclined, through computer simulation using proprietary CFD software developed by ANSYS, the CFX. In this work was used the version 17.0 of the CFX duly licensed to the Institute of Engineering - IEN. The first part was devoted to the 3-dimensional simulation of a density difference flow experiment of an air pocket of 100.0 mm in length in a liquid phase stagnated inside a 24.0 mm acrylic tube diameter and 2.0 m in length. In the experiment this air pocket is positioned at the bottom of the tube by the rapid rotation of the tube assuming the vertical position and at inlet angles of 2,5 °, 5 °, 7,5 °, 10 ° and 15°. The present work aimed to compare the computational results with the experimental results. This study required a considerable amount of time for development, because the conditions of the execution of the experiment are still little discussed in terms of computational simulation. It took several adjustments and attempts until satisfactory results were achieved close to the physical reality of experience. In this first study the objective was to obtain in the simulations the morphological aspect of the air pocket and its velocity of displacement through a liquid phase composed of water or glycerin, as close as possible to the experimental results. In the second part of this study, the simulation was carried out using software of an experiment under construction to test two-phase upward flow with forced circulation in an acrylic tubing of 52.5 mm in diameter and 8.0 m in length. A vertical two-phase, air-water vertical flow map, notably recognized and elaborated by Taitel et al. In 1980, was used as a guide. Certain points on this map, corresponding to the types of vertical flows of two phases were selected, and the velocity data surface of each phase used as boundary condition in computational simulations. Simulations with these same data were also performed for flow slope conditions of 15 °, 30 ° and 45 °. These simulations were performed in transient mode at the elapsed time of 15 s. The visual results obtained were in profiles of variation on a plane and in 3 dimensions by isovolumes, both representing the variation of the parameters volumetric fraction, physical and superficial velocity. The graphs of volumetric fraction and physical and superficial velocities of the phases for this time and the stipulated inclinations were obtained. Through these graphs it was found that the significant variations in the flows occur in the range of 0 ° to 15 °, and that from 15 ° to 45 ° these are little expressive.

Para o presente trabalho, a pergunta de fundo que colocamos foi a de saber se o arcabouço argumentativo de Taylor, sustentado pelas teorias expressivistas, consegue manter conceitualmente a tese de que os agentes morais agem motivados não pela racionalidade autofundante do sujeito, mas sim pelos sentimentos significativos morais que os mesmos desejam realizar sob a forma de bem no espaço político. Deste modo, a nossa proposta de tese foi analisar até que ponto a teoria de Taylor fornece as bases para a construção de conceitos que dão abertura para a renovação das práticas políticas nas sociedades atuais, visando, assim, à realização da liberdade humana por meio das suas diversas formas de expressão. Sendo assim, o que fizemos, primeiramente, ao longo dos seis capítulos que compõem o trabalho, foi propor um modo de sistematizar o encadeamento dos pontos básicos da teoria de Taylor, como expressão, ação, avaliação, bem, self, espaço público e político, com o objetivo de analisar a construção ontológica da identidade do agente humano. A segunda preocupação ficou centrada no problema da relação entre identidade e os posicionamentos dos agentes no espaço público. Por último, a nossa intenção foi mostrar que a teoria da política do reconhecimento de Taylor resguarda a liberdade expressiva dos indivíduos sem comprometer ao mesmo tempo as formas universais da vida pública / Abstract: Charles Taylor develops his conceptions about the problem of human actions around the identity problem. For the present work, the basic question made was to know if the argumentative framework of Taylor, sustained by the expressivity theories, can support conceptually the thesis that the moral agents act driven not by the subjects' selfrationality, but by the significative moral feelings that they wish to carry through under the form of good in the political space. This way, our thesis proposal was to analyze to what extent Taylor's theories supply the basis for the construction of concepts which provide an opening for the renovation of the political practices in current societies, aiming, in this way, at the accomplishment of human freedom by the means of its diverse forms of expression. Thus, what we did in the first place, throughout the six chapters which com pose the work, was to propose a way to systemize the chaining of the basic points of Taylor's theory, such as expression, action, evaluation, good, self, and political and public space, with the objective of analyzing the ontological construction of the identity of the human agent. The second concem focused on the problem of relationship between identity and the positionings of the agents in the public space. Finally, our intention was to show that Taylor's theory of recognition politics protects the expressive freedom of the individuais without compromising at the same time the universal forms of the public life / Doutorado / Filosofia / Doutor em Filosofia

La résolution analytique du problème de la stabilité d’une suspension solide (particules rigides de forme sphérique) dans le système de Taylor-Couette cylindrique a été menée. On s’est basé sur les travaux de Ali and Lueptow (2002) pour formuler les équations régissant la stabilité de l’écoulement dans le cadre d’une théorie linéaire. Ces équations sont valables dans l’approximation du faible espace annulaire et ont pour but la prévision de l’instabilité primaire. A cet effet, nous avons utilisé une méthode variationnelle telle que la méthode de Galerkin pour résoudre le problème aux valeurs propres conduisant à établir le diagramme de stabilité liée au nombre d’onde au voisinage de l’état critique du développement de la première instabilité. Tout d’abord, on a cherché à mettre au point les calculs dans le cas de l’écoulement de Taylor-Couette classique en se référant aux travaux de Ali and Lueptow (2002). Ensuite on a procédé à la résolution systématique des équations du mouvement et l’on cherche à déterminer le critère d’apparition des instabilités en présence de particules en suspension et l’on détermine simultanément les paramètres de couplage entre forces d’interaction liquide-solide. L’ensemble des travaux ainsi réalisés permettront de lever la contradiction fondamentale entre la théorie et l’expérience. L’étude expérimentale a permis d’analyser les effets de la concentration des particules en suspension (disques) et du rapport d’aspect radial ’ sur l’apparition des instabilités dans le système de Taylor-Dean. Le dispositif expérimental utilisé est constitué d’un cylindre intérieur tournant et le cylindre extérieur est maintenu fixe. Le comportement rhéologique du fluide utilisé est viscoplastique obéissant au modèle de Herschel Bulkley. L’apparition des instabilités est examinée en utilisant une technique de visualisation. Pour une concentration donnée dans l’intervalle étudié, la nature des structures apparaissant dans le système d’écoulement dépend ’, alors que pour une valeur donnée de ’ dans l’intervalle étudié, la valeur du nombre de Taylor critique Tac dépend de la concentration des particules. Nous avons obtenu que le nombre de Taylor critique Tac correspondant au déclenchement de la première instabilité évolue non linéairement en fonction de ’. De plus, nous avons examiné expérimentalement les effets de limitation axiale (effet de bords) sur le déclenchement des instabilités dans le système de Taylor-Dean. Les résultats obtenus montrent que les bords tournants n’affectent pas le type de structures qui apparaissent dans le système d’écoulement de Taylor-Dean. Cependant, ils influencent le seuil critique d’apparition des instabilités qui est marquée par des valeurs élevées du nombre de Taylor critique pour des bords tournants ce qui indique un effet stabilisant des bords mobiles. / The analytical solution of the stability problem of a solid suspension (rigid spherical particles) in the system of cylindrical Taylor-Couette was conducted. We are based on the work of Ali and Lueptow (2002) to formulate the equations governing the stability of the flow in a linear theory. These equations are valid in the approximation of small gap configuration and aim to predict the primary instability. For this purpose, we used a variational method such as the Galerkin method to solve the eigenvalue problem leading to establish the stability diagram related to the wave number in the vicinity of the critical state of development of the first instability. First, we develop the calculations in the case of Taylor-Couette flow with reference to classic work of Ali and Lueptow (2002). Then, we carried out a systematic solution of the equations of motion and we search to determine the criterion of onset of instabilities in the presence of suspended particles and coupling parameters are simultaneously determined from liquid-solid interaction force. All work carried out and will remove the fundamental contradiction between theory and experiment. The experimental study has analyzed the effect of the concentration of suspended particles (disks) and radial aspect ratio ' on the occurrence of instabilities in the Taylor-Dean flow system. The experimental device used consists of a rotating inner cylinder and the outer cylinder is stationary. The rheological behavior of the fluid is viscoplastic obeying to Herschel Bulkley model. The onset of instability is examined using a visualization technique. For a given concentration in the range studied, the nature of the structure appearing in the flow system depends on ', while for a given value of ' in the range studied, the value of the critical Taylor number Tac depends on the particle concentration. We obtain that the critical Taylor number Tac corresponding to the onset of the first instability evolves nonlinearly versus '. In addition, we examined experimentally the effect of axial limitation (endwall effects) on the onset of instabilities in the Taylor-Dean flow system. The results show that the rotating endwalls do not affect the type of structures that appear in the Taylor-Dean flow system. However, they influence the threshold of appearance of instabilities which is characterized by high values of the critical Taylor number for rotating endwalls indicating a stabilizing effect of the rotating endwalls.

This study attempts to discover in the early poetry of Coleridge anticipations of the poetic excellence exhibited in "The Ancient Mariner." It begins by explaining that the years from 1787, the date of his first recorded poem, to 1798, when he travelled to Germany, may be divided into three periods: 1787 to 1794, the years spent at school and university; 1794 to 1796, the years of his discipleship to two eighteenth-century rationalists, Godwin and Hartley; and 1797 to 1798, the years of his happy fellowship with the Wordsworths. The poetry has markedly different characteristics in each of these periods. The study proceeds by discussing the poetry under three headings: ideas, imagery and symbolism, and form. Noticeable progress towards the degree of achievement found in "The Ancient Mariner" appears in each of these areas. Chapter One, which discusses Coleridge's ideas, begins by establishing that from 1787 to 1798 the poetry is characterized by attempts to explain and offer a solution for evil and suffering. From 1787 to 1794 Coleridge advocated a simple and trite schoolroom morality, largely based on Church-of-England doctrine. Then he turned to the rationalism of Godwin and Hartley, accepting their concept of necessity, of the mind as a tabula rasa, of private property and institutionalism as the prime sources of evil, and of environment, reason and necessity as forces working toward the perfection of man. Rejecting Godwin's atheism, he subscribed to Hartley's system, in which these same concepts were placed in a Christian framework. However, disillusioned by the sterility of rationalism, and by the failure of the French Revolution to advance the morality of society, he retired to Nether Stowey in December, 1796, confused in mind and depressed in spirit. There he established a more meaningful concept of morality. It was based on faith in man's mind, as was Godwin's, and was focused on religion, as was Hartley's. But, unlike the system of either master, it found its motivation in will rather than reason. "The Ancient Mariner" embodies this concept of morality. In Chapter Two the study proceeds by categorizing the imagery and symbolism in "The Ancient Mariner" into three groups, or clusters, and showing that each appears, at least in nucleus, throughout the early poetry. The first cluster, which describes the Mariner, from 1787 to 1794 is associated with poet figures, from 1794 to 1796 is associated with political and social reformers and the spiritually regenerate. In 1797 and 1798 it is associated with individuals who, through an act of self-less will, have achieved a degree of moral and spiritual regeneracy, or who have a mission to enlighten other men. The second cluster is related to the murder of the Albatross. From 1787 to 1794 murder is treated as the inevitable consequence of living in an evil world, as an act committed consciously by men helpless to do otherwise. From 1794 to 1796 murder is treated as an act of self-interest, and of opposition to God, an act which violates the laws of reason and nature. During 1797 and 1798 murder is treated as the inevitable result of a purely sensual mind, in contrast to a spiritual mind. The final cluster, nature imagery and symbolism, is characterized by duality throughout the early poetry. From 1787 to 1794 the positive and negative aspects of nature describe happiness and unhappiness in Coleridge's personal life, and successes and failures of his poetic imagination. From 1794 to 1796 the duality contrasts the self-centered, ignorant mind to the enlightened, rational mind, which senses divine order in creation. During 1797 and 1798 the dualism contrasts the vision of the sensual man to that of the spiritual man. Chapter Three discusses the three kinds of form in poetry: external form, technique and internal form. Poetry is differentiated from prose by having pleasure as its immediate end. Pleasure is provided by an intuitive recognition of unity in multeity. Therefore form in poetry must be characterized by unity. External form is the relation of various thoughts and feelings to each other in the framework of a poem. Almost all Coleridge's poems have a well-unified external form. The success of this kind of form is most fully expressed in a poem such as "The Ancient Mariner," in which a unified symbolic level is super-imposed upon a unified narrative level. Technique is the way in which a poet expresses his thoughts and feelings. The various elements of technique - diction, imagery, metre, rhyme and stanza form - are well unified when they are the best and most natural expression of the poet's thoughts and feelings, and therefore mutually support and explain each other. The technique of the early poetry is noticeably weak; its mastery in "The Ancient Mariner" is the product of ten years of apprenticeship. Internal form is the proportion between the degree of thought and the degree of feeling in a poem. In all good poems thought and feeling give rise to and balance each other; they are unified. The greatest and best poems contain deep thought - a sense of spirituality in the midst of social and political reform - and deep feeling - a love which concerns itself with the changes in individual men. Deep thought and deep feeling can occur only with the achievement of the ultimate end of poetry: moral or intellectual truth. The poetry of 1787 to 1794 is characterized by an overbalance of feeling, that of 1794 to 1796, by an overbalance of thought. "The Ancient Mariner" contains a fusion of deep thought and deep feeling conveyed on the symbolic level. Enchanting the reader through the pleasure yielded by the perfect harmony of all the parts, and suggesting to him through symbolic patterns that it contains deep truths of human experience, the poem draws him back into itself, that he might discover these truths, find greater unity, and achieve more pleasure. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

<p> The dissertation examines an intersection of ethics, epistemology, politics, and religious consciousness in the work of Canadian political theorist Charles Taylor. The goal of the study is to bring to light the central or even unifying role of theism in Taylor's broader philosophical project. More specifically, the dissertation speaks to the constructive moral and anthropological-as opposed to any merely ideological-role that theism plays in Taylor's thought, focusing especially on the conception of transcendence that underwrites his political and ethical theory. A basic claim of the dissertation is that Taylor's conception of transcendence, while remaining attentive to the demands of religious pluralism, has a kenotic shape that gives rise to an ethics that emphasizes enfleshed enactments of agape.</p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
