Nietzsche published a critique on ascetical ideals in the III Dissertation of the Genealogy of Morals because ascesis had taken transcendental life as a reference for all values beyond this life which is immanent. An ascetic metaphysical morality emphasized the dualism this life another life , which Nietzsche contested by stating it had philosophically originated with Plato as morality against nature . Thus, by returning to the cradle of Western culture, Nietzsche propounds a revision of ascesis based on transcendence, immutability, and truth from the standpoint of life, this life a constant flow, concerned exclusively with change, with outward aspects. In a nutshell, such ascesis refers to becoming a follower of Dionysus, to lead a dionysian life: a whirl of forces that continuously come together and apart, creating centres of will to power, giving rise to everything alive or, in other words, everything that appears and disappears into what is commonly called reality . Therefore, anyone willing to go further ahead of what is ordinary in the contemporary world could only demand of oneself the utmost self-overcoming, the utmost self-control in order to attain a quintessential spiritualization of instincts instead of the sterilization that transcendent values have long prescribed to the body as a rule for life. This hypothetical being is embodied in ascetic Nietzsche , here represented as a dionysian ascetic set against the ascetical ideal / O ascetismo ficou conhecido pelos esforços dos metafísicos para alcançar seus objetivos espirituais . Nietzsche dedicou, em especial, uma crítica aos ideais ascéticos na III Dissertação de A Genealogia da Moral, porque a ascese tomara a vida transcendente como referencial de todos os valores para além desta vida, que é imanente. Uma moral ascética metafísica reforçava o dualismo esta vida outra vida que Nietzsche combatia e que afirmava ter-se estabelecido filosoficamente com Platão, enquanto moral contranatureza . Assim, indo à origem da cultura ocidental, Nietzsche propõe que uma ascese com base na transcendência, no imutável, na verdade , seja revista a partir de uma perspectiva da vida, desta vida, fluir constante, com lugar somente para a mudança, para aparências . Trata-se, enfim, daquilo que, no filósofo seguidor de Dionísio , não é outra coisa senão uma vida dionisíaca, um baile de forças que se organizam e se desorganizam constantemente em centros de vontades de poder, originando tudo o que existe, ou, em outras palavras, tudo o que aparece e tudo o que desaparece naquilo que, normalmente , é denominado realidade. Portanto, alguém que deseja estar além do que seja o comum na contemporaneidade só poderia exigir de si o máximo de auto-superação, de um domínio de si mesmo, para se realizar em uma espiritualização dos instintos no lugar da castração que os valores transcendentes têm proposto para o corpo como vida. Este alguém se configura em Nietzsche asceta que, aqui, é apresentado como asceta dionisíaco contra o ideal ascético

Criminology’s most recent theoretical tradition involves examination of the developmental onset, continuity, and desistance from offending behavior across the life course. A prominent life course perspective organized around social bonding was proffered by Robert J. Sampson and John H. Laub in dual volumes that include Crime in the Making: Pathways and Turning Points Through Life (1993), and Shared Beginnings, Divergent Lives (2003). Because Sampson and Laub’s age-graded theory is based on a sample of White males born in the 1920s and 1930s, and matured during a historical period of vast economic growth, the universal theoretical processes emphasized in their theory may be overstated. Such assumptions may not generalize to more heterogeneous samples that includes minorities and individuals that vary in their levels of offending. The present research evaluates the generalizability of the age-graded theory through examination of data collected from a representative and contemporary sample of adolescents followed into adulthood. In addition, this study seeks to examine an alternate turning point from deviant conduct, specifically religiosity/spirituality. Building on prior studies that explore the role of religiosity on change processes across race and ethnicity (Chu & Sung, 2009; Stansfield, 2017), the current investigation addresses open questions relating to the nature of the religion-desistance relationship. Multilevel mixed effects models are utilized to estimate over time the separate impact of religious behavior and religious beliefs on deviant conduct, to further assess a religious turning point effect across subgroups disaggregated by race/ethnicity, and to evaluate the influence of religiosity on change from deviant outcomes characterized as violations of secular and ascetic standards. Analyses of religiosity/spirituality on these differing forms of deviance across race/ethnicity are also conducted. In contrast to the hypothesized relationships, study findings reveal very little evidence of a religious/spiritual turning point effect in enacting change from deviant behaviors in the main models. Similar results indicate that religiosity indicates minimal differences in change from deviant conduct when the sample is disaggregated across race and ethnicity. Findings point to the nuances of the religion-desistance relationship, and depends upon processes that may involve attendance to church services or spiritual beliefs, and may be conditional on the type of deviance outcome examined—whether in violation of a secular or ascetic standard. Along with a discussion of these findings, limitations of the study, directions for future research, and implications for policy are provided.

This dissertation is the result of a research that tries to show it specifically from the work On the Genealogy of Morals. The following is an attempt to identify and characterize this issue in other works of this thinker and in the works of some Nietzsche‟s experts. The study begins with an overview of the meaning of ascetic ideals down the forms of expression in the world, through religion, philosophy and art. It presents the ascetic priest as the element from which you get the main understanding of the ascetic ideal; seeks to indicate that talk of the ascetic ideal in the priest‟s talk about how to be critical of the ascetic ideal. On the Genealogy of Morals, the ascetic ideals are characterized as being essentially form of nihilism. We resort to Nietzschean nihilism to show that and how the character will to nothingness intrinsic to nihilism is also present in the ascetic ideal as a form of decay. The conclusion is based on that fact that the ascetic ideals make the decadent will to power because make a will to value where value in this case is the value of nothing. Finally is used to understand the concept of creation as a possibility for overcoming these ideals through tragic art and lawmaker philosophy as a way of will to power. / A presente dissertação tem como objetivo principal compreender o que o filósofo Friedrich Nietzsche chama de ideais ascéticos e de niilismo. Essa dissertação é o resultado de uma pesquisa que tenta mostrar isso especificamente a partir da obra Genealogia da moral. Segue-se buscando identificar e caracterizar este assunto também em outras obras deste pensador e em obras de alguns especialistas de Nietzsche. O estudo começa com um apanhado do significado dos ideais ascéticos estabelece as formas como se manifestam no mundo, através da religião, da filosofia e da arte. Apresenta-se o sacerdote ascético como o elemento a partir do qual se obtém a compreensão principal dos ideais ascéticos; procura-se indicar que falar do ideal ascético no sacerdote é falar do modo de ser fundamental do ideal ascético. Na Genealogia da moral, os ideais ascéticos são caracterizados como sendo essencialmente forma de niilismo. Recorre-se ao conceito nietzschiano de niilismo para mostrar que e como o caráter de vontade de nada intrínseco ao niilismo está presente também nos ideais ascéticos como uma forma de decadência. Conclui-se com base nesse fato que os ideais ascéticos tornam a vontade de poder decadente porque a tornam uma vontade de valorar em que valor neste caso é valor de nada. Por fim é empregada a compreensão do conceito de criação enquanto possibilidade de superação desses ideais através da arte trágica e da filosofia legisladora como forma da vontade de poder.

<p>Unfortunately I have had bit of difficulty with setting up the page numbers appropriately. I have been unable to figure out how to make the preliminary part of document in Roman numerals while at the same time separating this from the main body of the text using Arabic numbers. My apologies, but I sincerely do not know how to resolve this frustrating problem. I can resolve this problem if I send you the preliminary part and main body as separate documents, but just not as one continuous document. Please contact me if this latter method is the way to go.</p> / <p>This thesis provides an expository account and critical analysis of Friedrich Nietzsche’s genealogical position on cruelty. Its primary engagement is with Nietzsche’s <em>On The Genealogy of Morals</em>, however, other works by this author are discussed when relevant. The general import of this thesis is threefold. First, it demonstrates Nietzsche’s genealogical account of cruelty, detailing its complex evolutionary progression and its various facets of influence. Second, this work identifies some authors who are critical of Nietzsche position on cruelty. These criticisms are identified and are then largely refuted on various grounds. Third, this thesis argues that an appropriate critical analysis of Nietzsche’s genealogical theorizing will be based on a cross-examination of his positions with current palaeoanthropological findings. The conclusion drawn from this analysis is that there is insufficient empirical evidence to substantiate Nietzsche’s accounts and his methodical approach to genealogical theorizing is, furthermore, untenable.</p>

Evagre le Pontique a exposé sa philosophie ascétique, centrée sur la notion d'une liste de vices à combattre et de vertus correspondantes, dans plusieurs traités, dont certains ont déjà fait l'objet d'éditions critiques. Le présent travail consiste en une introduction, une édition, et une traduction de deux textes occupant une place particulière dans l'œuvre d'Evagre. Le traité adressé au moine Euloge, et celui qui décrit les Vices opposés aux Vertus, qui apparaît comme un appendice au précédent dans une bonne partie de la tradition manuscrite, présente des spécificités en termes de style et de doctrine qui ont pu faire douter de son authenticité. Une étude approfondie des témoins manuscrits, à la fois de l'original grec et des différentes versions en langues orientales, syriaque, arabe, arménien, géorgien et éthiopien, qui en sont conservées, a permis de confirmer l'authenticité du traité et d'en établir un texte sûr. Ils ont en effet subi de nombreux aléas au cours de leur transmission; outre les dégâts matériels, les œuvres d'Evagre ont surtout circulé en grec sous le nom de Nil d'Ancyre, en raison de la condamnation qui a frappé Evagre, pour son Origénisme supposé, au concile de Constantinople II en 553. Le commentaire accompagnant l'édition permet d'évaluer la proximité de la pensée d'Evagre avec celle du docteur Alexandrin, ainsi que de mettre en lumière la genèse, l'expression et la postérité de la doctrine évagrienne par excellence, celle de la liste des vices, dans le contexte philosophique et ascétique où elle a pris naissance. / Evagrius Ponticus expounded his ascetic philosophy, centered on the notion of a list of vices and corresponding virtues, in several treatises, several of which have already been critically edited. The present work consists of an introduction, an edition, and a French translation of two texts which stand out, to a certain degree, within the Evagrian opus. The treatise addressed to the monk Eulogius, along with its appendix describing the Vices opposed to Virtues, which appears adjoined to the former in a majority of manuscripts, display stylistic and doctrinal characteristics which have often called its authenticity into question. A detailed study of the manuscript testimony, both of the Greek original and of the various oriental versions (Syriac, Arabic, Armenian, Georgian and Ethiopic), has allowed us to confirm the treatises' authenticity and to establish their text reliably, as it can be seen to have suffered considerable turmoil during its transmission. Aside from material damage, Evagrius' works, in the Greek medium, were mainly distributed under the name of Nilus of Ancyra, owing to Evagrius' condemnation for alleged Origenism, at the council of Constantinople II in 553. The accompanying commentary aims at addressing the proximity of Evagrian thought with the legacy of Origen, as well as highlighting the formation, formulation, and posterity of that most remarkable of Evagrian doctrines, the list of vices, and the philosophical and ascetic context wherein it originated.

La présente étude s’attache à retracer l’histoire textuelle de l’Échelle, encore jamais entreprise, à travers un corpus manuscrit comportant près de 350 codices ; ce corpus est traité exhaustivement du IXe s. au XIIIe s. et partiellement jusqu’au XVIIe s .L’ouvrage composé au VIIe s. est constitué des discours ascétiques de Jean du Sinaï et de plusieurs pièces-annexes. Il est considéré dans la tradition manuscrite comme le livre de l’Échelle (Κλίμαξ) faite de trente degrés, guide spirituel menant au ciel, et son auteur reçoit l’appellation de Climaque (ὁ τῆς Κλίμακος). Les pratiques de lecture de l’ouvrage, sa place dans les recueils et ses emprunts témoignent du rôle important qu’a joué l’Échelle, avec ses aphorismes et ses métaphores, dans la littérature ascétique à Byzance. Un abondant corpus de scholies exégétiques rédigées au Xe s. et développé par des citations d’auteurs ascétiques au XIe s. atteste de la réception originale de l’œuvre de Jean Climaque. Le Commentaire d’Élie de Crète, composé au début du XIIe s. et conservé dans 19 manuscrits, propose une exégèse exhaustive de l’ouvrage en s’appuyant sur les scholies mais aussi sur de nombreuses références patristiques et philosophiques. La présente thèse propose un classement des codices de l’Échelle, de ses scholies et un stemma codicum du Commentaire d’Élie ; tous les manuscrits examinés sont décrits sous forme d’un répertoire. L’étude établit les éditions princeps et critiques de nombreuses scholies et d’une partie du Commentaire. / The study relates the textual history of the Ladder, which has never been made attempted before, through a manuscript corpus containing nearly 350 codices exhaustively from the 9th to the 13th and partially up to the 17th century.The work composed in the 7th century is made up of the ascetic discourses of John Sinaites and of a few textual pieces enclosed with them. It is considered in the manuscript tradition as the book of the Ladder (Κλίμαξ) made of thirty steps, spiritual guide leading to Heaven, and its author receives the name of Climacus (ὁ τῆς Κλίμακος). The ways this book was read, its place in the collections and its quotations indicate the important role played by the Ladder, with its aphorisms et metaphors, in the ascetic literature in Byzantium. An abundant corpus of exegetic scholia written in the 10th century and developed in the form of quotations of ascetic authors in the 11th century attests to the original reception of the treatise of John Climacus. The Commentary of Elias of Crete, composed at the beginning of the 12th century and preserved in 19 manuscripts, proposes an exhaustive exegesis of the Ladder, relying on scholia but also on many patristic and philosophical references.The present dissertation establishes a classification of the codices of the Ladder, of its scholia and proposes a stemma codicum of the Elias’ Commentary ; all the examinated manuscripts are described in a repertoire. The study provides Princeps and critical editions of numerous scholia and of a part of the Commentary.

This reflection is the result of a research that relates Nietzsche s works with some of his interpreters. The study begins with the genealogic analyses of the ascetic ideals, for which the philosopher shows as expressions of the three types of nihilism (passive, reactive, and active) that emerges in this development process in Europe, process through which the nihilism becomes effective. The adopted methodology was to develop a vertical and horizontal study in the works of Nietzsche, study that articulated with that of his interpreters, resulted in the affirmation that perhaps this is Nietzsche s main objective in diagnosing this man s disease: that the nihilism is the cause of all diseases in the man s life, in the sense of leading him to self-destruction. Nietzsche s attempt in this case would be to show another direction, teaching, pointing the way to a bridge of superation of all values the Übermensch (superman) being this only way to engage a combat against all nihilist value, seeking always the perspective of life affirmation in its becoming, seeking his meaning in himself and in the Earth. / O trabalho que segue constitui uma reflexão acerca do termo Niilismo e o seu processo de desenvolvimento no pensamento europeu, através da Filosofia de Nietzsche. Esta reflexão é resultado de uma pesquisa que relaciona as obras de Nietzsche e de alguns de seus intérpretes. O estudo começa com a análise genealógica dos ideais ascéticos, para os quais o filósofo aponta como expressões dos três tipos de niilismo (passivo, reativo e ativo) que surgem nesse processo de desenvolvimento na Europa, processo pelo qual o niilismo se realiza. A metodologia adotada foi a de desenvolver um estudo horizontal e vertical das obras de Nietzsche, que, articuladas com a de seus intérpretes, resultou na afirmação, de que talvez este seja o principal objetivo de Nietzsche ao diagnosticar essa doença do homem: que o niilismo é a causa de todas as doenças na vida do homem, no sentido de levá-lo a autodestruição. Sua tentativa, desse modo, seria mostrar outra direção, ensinando, apontando o caminho da ponte para a superação de todos os valores, o Übermensch (além-homem) sendo esta a única forma de travar um combate contra todo valor niilista, buscando sempre a perspectiva de afirmação da vida em seu vir-a-ser, buscando seu sentido nele mesmo e na Terra.

This thesis examines how lay members of the Jain and Quaker traditions understand and navigate ideals of non-ownership. The tenets of aparigraha (non-ownership) and the testimony of simplicity are explored to show how interpretation of sacred texts leave open the possibility for financial success. Through interviews with members of Jain and Quaker communities in the US, and textual research, I assert that proper methods for earning, maintaining and using capital in each tradition transcend prohibitions against excess accumulation. Following Foucault and Weber, I show that proper ethical ways of earning and spending money depend on community-based interpretations and self-policing. My research suggests that lay members focus on ethical ways to earn and spend money rather than the amount of wealth they possess. Due to these foci, transgressions of ideals are viewed within community-established norms, which maintain high levels of engagement with both the capital world and their own religious tradition.

Readings were taken on a considerable part of the author's work, which originated assertions, assumptions and relationships observed in this study. By analyzing rosianos statements, prioritized five highlight relevant essential discursive themes in his speech, which were divided and organized into five themes: "love, night, religion, people and nature." The authors chosen as analytical support to address the love were the Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle, thinkers Erich Fromm, Benedito Nunes, Arthur Schopenhauer, André Comte- Sponville Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung, the sociologist Zygmunt Bauman and semiotician Algirdas Greimas. The authors required as analytical support to treat religiosity were the philosopher St. Augustine, the Essayist Elisa Guimarães and two experts in iconography, Jacopo Varazze and Nilza Botelho Megale. The authors adopted as analytical support for crushing the night were the folklorist Luís da Câmara Cascudo, the demonologist Eliphas Lévi and literary critic Massaud Moisés. The authors listed as analytical support to subsidize the axis on the speech of the people were the socio- linguist Dino Preti, sociologist Roger Bastide, the philosopher Jean - Jacques Rousseau, the thinker Antonio Candido, the anthropologist Claude Lévi - Strauss and again the folklorist Luís da Câmara Cascudo. The authors used as analytical support to embrace nature were Heraclitus of Ephesus and Empedocles of Agrigento philosophers and thinkers Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela, Fritjof Capra and Gaston Bachelard. / A partir do estudo de narrativas do escritor brasileiro João Guimarães Rosa, buscou-se identificar, catalogar e descrever alguns elementos que recorressem em seu discurso literário. Foram realizadas leituras acerca de parte considerável da obra do autor, das quais se originaram as asserções, deduções e relações verificadas neste trabalho. Ao analisar os enunciados rosianos, priorizou-se evidenciar cinco temas discursivos essenciais pertinentes em seu discurso, os quais foram divididos e organizados em cinco eixos temáticos: amor, noite, religiosidade, povo e natureza . Os autores escolhidos como suporte analítico para abordar o amor foram os filósofos gregos Platão e Aristóteles, os pensadores Erich Fromm, Benedito Nunes, Arthur Schopenhauer, André Comte-Sponville Sigmund Freud e Carl Gustav Jung, o sociólogo Zygmunt Bauman e o semioticista Algirdas Greimas. Os autores requeridos como suporte analítico para tratar a religiosidade foram o filósofo Santo Agostinho, a ensaísta Elisa Guimarães e dois especialistas em iconografia, Jacopo de Varazze e Nilza Botelho Megale. Os autores adotados como suporte analítico para esmiuçar a noite foram o folclorista Luís da Câmara Cascudo, o demonologista Eliphas Lévi e o crítico literário Massaud Moisés. Os autores elencados como suporte analítico para subsidiar o eixo sobre o discurso do povo foram o sócio-linguista Dino Preti, o sociólogo Roger Bastide, o filósofo Jean-Jacques Rousseau, o pensador Antonio Candido, o antropólogo Claude Lévi-Strauss e, novamente, o folclorista Luís da Câmara Cascudo. Os autores utilizados como suporte analítico para abarcar a natureza foram os filósofos Heráclito de Éfeso e Empédocles de Agrigento e os pensadores Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela, Fritjof Capra e Gaston Bachelard.

Today the conception of human rights is an idea that preserves its intransitive, inalienable and indivisible quality with a cross-cultural reference. The idea of human rights, entering our lives from the 18th century onwards, has gained a worldwide recognition through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The idea occupies place both at the level of rules and principles as a project and at the level of our daily problem solutions, modifications and the daily course of our lives as a pragmatics. The political framework provides the idea of human rights such a justification that it constitutes a significant part of our decisions, thoughts and actions. On the other hand, the grounds of the idea has been questioned as a part of the Enlightenment project since it was first articulated and especially in recent decades certain radical criticisms originating from Nietzche&rsquo / s thought became prevalent. The thesis questions this easy alliance between Nietzsche and radical attacks to human rights thought. In the first chapter, I first provided a brief historical overview of the idea of human rights. Then, I had a closer look towards the principles of universality, equality, autonomy and is-ought distinction with special reference to Kantian formulations of these concepts and in the second chapter, I elaborate Nietzsche&rsquo / s perception of these same principles and our understanding of conventional morality in general, to reach an articulated answer to the question: Would Nietzsche be categorically against human rights? I conclude that his philosophical attitude to these four principles differ from each other. In this context the thesis regards Nietzschean informal structures over the Kantian formal ones as complementary for a full grasp of the idea of human rights by offering a connection of the transitionality between Kant and Nietzsche.
