Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / The object of this study is to examine the principle works of Giambattista Vico (1668-1744), to establish him as a philosopher and theorist of romanticism and to what extent his theories were incorporated in the theories of the French romanticists, especially between the years 1827-1830. Vico posed the basic principles of romanticism by starting with a rejection of Cartesian principles and the classical standards and taste imposed by Aristotle and the Italian classicists. He insisted that history is organic, possessing its peculiar form of evolution and its own laws, as is literature, which reflects the history of the individual and societies. Vico maintained that poetic creativity is primarily intuitive rather than rational. The primitive poet's rich sensory imagination, unique fount of his lyrical creativity, diminished as his rational faculties developed, with a consequent loss of his power to create sublime poetry [TRUNCATED]

Seu pensamento reivindica, para a imaginação, a linguagem e a história – dimensões negligenciadas pela corrente racionalista – um status prioritário para a obtenção de conhecimento verossímil. A atenção exacerbada para atividades puramente racionais, como a matemática e a lógica, para a obtenção de conhecimento, segundo Vico, conduziria o homem a uma espécie de “barbárie”, levando-o à desumanização. De acordo com Vico, fazer é conhecer e vice-versa. Somente se pode conhecer aquilo que se faz. Ao homem, não é possível o conhecimento da natureza em sua essência, pelo fato de não ser o seu criador. No entanto, o homem cria a história e, por isso, pode conhecê-la. Os vestígios históricos trazidos pela filologia, somados à reflexão filosófica, poderão conduzir o homem ao conhecimento. Com a sua máxima verum et factum convertuntur (“conheço porque faço, faço porque conheço”), Vico coloca o homem como um produtor de modelos representativos do mundo, o qual lança mão da imaginação e do engenho (criação), para conceber a realidade. Partindo dessa máxima viquiana, visamos, neste trabalho, analisar a relevância das faculdades da imaginação e do engenho nos processos de elaboração de modelos científicos. No primeiro capítulo, buscamos compreender os principais conceitos do pensamento viquiano; em seguida, no segundo capítulo, definimos os conceitos agregados à faculdade imaginativa, como a memória, o engenho e a fantasia. Vico propõe ampliar a validação do conhecimento para além do crivo do raciocínio lógico. Desse modo, no terceiro capítulo investigamos o exercício da imaginação como um fator preponderante para a elaboração de hipóteses e para a geração de novos modelos na ciência. / In the 17th century, Neapolitan philosopher Giambattista Vico criticizes Cartesianism, refuting the thesis that the Natural Sciences could reach the truth. His thought reclaims, to imagination, language and history - dimensions neglected by rationalist thinking - a priority status for the acquisition of credible knowledge. The exacerbated attention to purely rational activities such as mathematics and logic for knowledge acquisition, according to Vico, would lead mankind to a sort of "barbarism" taking it to dehumanization. For Vico, to do is to know and vice-versa. We can only know what we do. To men, it is not possible to know nature in its essence, for they are not its creator. However, man creates history and, therefore, may know it. The historical traces brought by philology, added to the philosophical reflection, may lead man to knowledge. With his maxim verum et factum convertuntur, (I know because I do, I do because I know), Vico places man as a producer of depictive models of the world, who makes use of imagination and ingeniousness (creation) to conceive the reality. From this Vichian maxim, we aim, in this study, to analyze the relevance of imagination and ingeniousness faculties in the processes of scientific models development. In the first chapter, we try to understand the main concepts of the Vichian thinking; after that, in the second chapter, we define the concepts aggregated with the imaginative faculty, like the memory, the ingeniousness and the fantasy. Vico suggests expand the validation of knowledge beyond the scrutiny of logic reasoning. Thus, in the third chapter, we investigate the exercise of imagination as a preponderant factor for the hypotheses elaboration and for the generation of new models in science.

Trata-se de uma tentativa de inventariar os conceitos de Filosofia correntemente associados sob a forma do paradigma antropológico designado como "culturalismo". A rigor, visa a pesquisa a reunir elementos que proporcionem uma resposta satisfatória à pergunta: que é culturalismo? Desta perspectiva, a obra de Giambattista Vico avulta sobre as demais por ser a matriz teórica da doutrina culturalista, quer dizer, a reflexão que gerou os parâmetros epistemológicos e antropológicos que permitiram a essa teoria elevar-se ao nível de uma paradigma. Donde justificar-se a maior extensão do capítulo consagrado a Vico, no qual se argüi, ou pelo menos se tenta argüir, tanto a teoria do conhecimento quanto a teoria geral da cultura, contidas na principal obra do autor, a Ciência Nova. Ambas as teorias sobressaem no panorama de idéias do século XVIII por sua orientação explicitamente anticartesiana. À análise de Vico segue-se a de Herder, cuja reputação anti-iluminista e anti-cartesiana dispensa comentar suas afinidades com o companheiro de ofício napolitano, a quem, aliás, sucedeu, volutariamente ou não, na medida em que fortaleceu seu legado teórico íncorporando-lhe noções tais como Volkgeist e Fortgang, a saber, "espírito do povo" e "progressão cultural" (esta sem substituição ao conceito de "progresso linear", dos iluministas). Por último, Dilthey, que a propósito deve ser apresentado como o autor do método complementar da teoria, o método hermenêutico, cuja fórmula epistemológica se acha descrita no capítulo que expõe a base metodológica do paradigma. A conclusão tenta demostrar o nexo existente entre as idéias dos três filósofos e a teoria assentada na Antropologia como culturalismo. Além disso, argumenta a favor do historicismo, de cuja doutrina a teoria culturalista inequivocamente procede, transformada em bête-noir da atualidade em virtude da suspeita de "irracionalismo" que lhe conferiu a voga acadêmica pós-moderna, empenhada em expurgar a subjetividade - leia-se História, leia-se Cultura - da ciência.

Abstract Building Information Model/Modeling/Management (BIM) is a tool that allows for efficient working methods. BIM saves time and money while providing the potential for visualization. This method of working is based on a 3D-model, and then a fourth and fifth dimension are connected. 5D modeling means that a spreadsheet creates cost estimates based on the 3D model. This provides opportunities to carry out calculations in the early stages of the projects.   Calculations are currently performed manually and do not contribute to the development that the construction industry requires. To examine the efficiency of 5D BIM, a comparison should be made with the traditional calculation method. The purpose of this study is to propose a more reliable quantity takeoff and to study the advantages and disadvantages of each method.   The research questions to be studied in this thesis read as follows:  How reliable is quantity takeoff with the help of Vico Office in contrast to traditional quantity takeoff? What is required of a BIM model to perform a quantity takeoff in Vico Office?   To create calculations manually, bills of quantities are performed with recipes for each building component and then price lists from recipe databases are used. With the 5D BIM, a spreadsheet is connected to the BIM model that generates price lists and calculations for each building component. Spreadsheet entries are created for the component that contain the right amount of information, that is then connected to the correct building component. Vico Office is a program that provides opportunities to import 3D models from CAD tools to then carry out timetables and calculations.   Vico Office offers many advantages in contrast to the manual spreadsheet work in, among other things, time and cost. It is easy to handle and contributes to the development of BIM. It also contributes to increased communication between participants that makes it easier to handle delays. At the same time, the program needs new knowledge. The manual spreadsheet work gives uncertain calculations and the risk of measurement errors exist.   To perform a complete quantity takeoff in Vico Office an architectural model and a construction model is required. It is also important to name the components in the model before it is imported to Vico Office. Vico Office gives more BIM, and it is easier to perform a quantity takeoff because all the tools are in one place. It is not possible to determine that it is actually more efficient with Vico Office because the building model was lacking in this study.    This thesis demonstrates the advantages of 5D BIM, but at the same time it requires an initiative of the companies to implement the system. This transition from manual spreadsheet work to 5D BIM can be complicated because it requires time and knowledge.   Keywords: 5D BIM, Vico Office, Cost, Quantity Takeoff

Pretende-se mostrar, neste trabalho, como as relações entre linguagem e práxis formam o núcleo do projeto filosófico de Giambattista Vico. Trata-se de um projeto complexo e que se realiza em diferentes momentos a partir de um confronto com a concepção mentalista da linguagem. Vico identifica no método de Descartes e no logicismo de Port-Royal, no assim chamado cartesianismo lingüístico, uma concepção extremamente redutora que põe em segundo plano a dimensão social e expressiva dos fenômenos da linguagem. Nosso objetivo é reconstituir os principais momentos do projeto de Vico (o que faremos através de uma leitura das primeiras obras do filósofo) e como ele se configura na Ciência Nova, sobretudo na sua última edição (de 1744). Com isso, pretende-se mostrar o que há de novo na perspectiva de Vico frente à tradição filosófica da qual ele procura se destacar e, assim, indicar o lugar preciso ocupado pelo filósofo italiano no que concerne aos estudos da linguagem. Nesse sentido, gostaríamos de defender aqui a tese de que o núcleo do projeto de Giambattista Vico consiste no novo tipo de relação que o filósofo estabelece entre os desdobramentos lingüísticos, as modificações (modificazioni) da mente e das instituições humanas. Veremos que a inteligibilidade desse processo passa pela elaboração de um novo método ou nova arte crítica que, levando em conta uma concepção da linguagem mais complexa que a do cartesianismo lingüístico, torna visível como o mundo das instituições humanas foi construído, como ele se desenvolve e como ele opera ao longo do tempo. _________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT: The present work intends to show how the rapports between language and práxis make up the core of Giambattista Vicos philosophical project. It is a complex project; and it is accomplished at different moments from a confront with the mentalist conception of language. Vico considers Descartes method and the Port-Royal logicism, the so-called linguistic Cartesianism, an extremely reductionist perspective that set aside the social and the expressive dimension of linguistic phenomena. The aims of the present work is to trace back the main moments of Vicos project (what shall be done through an analysis of Vicos first works), show how it appears in the Scienza Nuova, mainly in its last edition (1744); and shed light on the new perspectives of Vicos thought, compared to the philosophical tradition he wants to set himself at a distance; and, finally, point out the very place of the Italian philosopher in the linguistic studies. We uphold that the core of Vicos project consists in a new sort of rapport that the philosopher establishes between the linguistic developments, the modifications (modificazioni) of mind and of the human institutions. We shall see that the intelligibility of that process involves the creation of a new method or new critical art that, considering a conception of language which is more complex than the linguistic Cartesianism, make the construction of human institutions clear, show how it develops itself and how it operates throughout the time.

Thesis advisor: Susan M. Shell / The 21st century has witnessed jarring set-backs in the spread of the liberal democracy around the globe, as well as domestic challenges to the liberal form of government where it has been long established. By interrogating the root principles of the liberal theory of progress, this study aims to account for both the overwhelming success of the liberal progress in the latter half of the twentieth century, as well as its mounting failures in the early twenty-first century. It is argued that the liberal theory of progress rests on an unstable synthesis of two competing modern political philosophies, which are identified as ideology and the philosophy of history. The latter offers a theory of mankind’s historical development toward reason, while the former provides a blueprint for the construction of the rational state. Before these modern philosophies were synthesized in the liberal theory of progress, they emerged in opposition to one another, in the works of Thomas Hobbes and Giambattista Vico. The first chapter introduces the political philosophy of Hobbes’ Leviathan, and examines Hobbes’s teaching about nature and art, power and public opinion, culture and civil religion. On this basis, the Leviathan is shown to inaugurate the ideological form of politics, of which liberalism is one example. Chapter two defines ideology and traces its history, demonstrating the common source of all modern ideologies in a foundational egalitarianism that replaces the natural politics of rule. Chapter three addresses the modern philosophy of history, inaugurated by Vico’s New Science. An account of the genesis of this philosophy is presented and contrasted with Leo Strauss’ account. The fourth chapter considers Vico’s political teaching and his opposition to the modern theories of natural law, including especially that of Hobbes. Rejecting the view that Vico should be characterized as an enemy of the Enlightenment, this chapter examines his teaching about the historicity of human nature as reflected in religion, justice, poetry, philosophy and the political cycle of human history, and concludes with a discussion of the “barbarism of reflection,” in which all progress is said to comes to an end. These studies of Hobbes and Vico indicate the points of greatest tension within the liberal theory of progress, and prepare the way for a future critical study of liberal theory of progress in Kant and his successors. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2020. / Submitted to: Boston College.
