Assim, sigo o processo de inflexão teórico vivenciado pelo estudioso italiano durante a década de 1930, quando as experiências de pesquisas dos hereges na Europa do Cinquecento e seus contatos com novas leituras e ambientes intelectuais e políticos se misturavam com as modificações dos planos do governo fascista, a decadência da fé no corporativismo, o desprestígio popular em relação do regime, o projeto expansionista italiano, o desenrolar histórico alemão e a influência da Alemanha nazista sobre a Itália. Estes fatores levaram Cantimori a se aproximar do Partido Comunista Italiano e dos preceitos teóricos do materialismo histórico. Dessa maneira, finalizo com a sua segunda desilusão política em relação às políticas culturais ideológicas do Partido Comunista Italiano, que levou o intelectual a uma profunda nostalgia de sua geração de historiadores, empenhados em leituras históricas ético-políticas, pautadas em métodos e interpretações filológicas, incompatíveis com os pressupostos ideológicos partidários, e a aproximação da tradição histórico-cultural de Jacob Burckhardt, de seu pessimismo, de seu cientificismo e de sua concepção de História como uma disciplina propedêutica. / This work is scoped to approach the complex political and intellectual trajectory of Delio Cantimori (1904-1966), from his Mazzinian family education, their adherence to Fascism and the precepts of idealism actualist as paradigmatic background reading Renaissance and contemporary Italian and European politics. So follow the theoretical turning process experienced by the Italian scholar during the 1930s, when their experience of research about the heretics in Europe of Cinquecento and his contacts with new perspectives and intellectual and political environments mingled with the modifications of the plans of the fascist government, the decline of faith in the corporatism, the popular prestige over the regime, the Italian expansionist project, the German historical progress and the influence of Nazi Germany over Italy. These factors led Cantimori to close the Italian Communist Party and theoretical precepts of historical materialism. Thus, I conclude with his second political disillusionment with the ideological cultural policies of the Italian Communist Party, which led the intellectual to a deep nostalgia for his generation of historians, committed to ethical and political historical readings, guided methods and philological interpretations, incompatible with party ideological presuppositions, the approach of the cultural-history tradition of Jacob Burckhardt, in his pessimism, his scientism and his conception of history as a propaedeutic subject.

A pesquisa a ser apresentada tem como objetivo indicar a existência de uma relação entre o uso do conceito de patrimonialismo por parte de Raymundo Faoro e Simon Schwartzman em suas principais obras, respectivamente Os donos do poder e Bases do autoritarismo brasileiro, além de também destacar a presença de uma utopia política liberal no pensamento dos dois autores. Neste sentido, haveria uma relação entre a dimensão explicativa de suas análises sobre a evolução histórica e política do país, acentuando o caráter centralizador e negativo do Estado brasileiro neste processo, e a defesa de uma saída política aos problemas. Vale observar que a escassa bibliografia que analisa os pensamentos desses autores costuma destacar confluências de suas análises, o que certamente tem pertinência. Contudo, e este é outro objetivo dessa pesquisa, é possível assinalar diferenças significativas entre tais abordagens que, inclusive, refletem na relação entre análise histórica e proposta política dos autores. / This dissertation aims to indicate that there is a connection between the use of the concept of patrimonialism by Raymundo Faoro and Simon Schwartzman in their major works, respectively Os donos do poder and Bases do autoritarismo brasileiro, besides the presence of a \"political liberal utopia in both authors. Furthermore, it is pointed out that there is a relationship between the explanatory dimension of their analysis of Brazilian historical and political development, stressing the centralizing and negative character of the State, and a political solution presented to the problems discussed. It is worth noting that the scarce literature that examines these authors often highlights confluences of their analysis, which certainly exist. However, and this is another objective of the dissertation, it is possible to indicate significant differences between such approaches that even reflect the relationship between their historical analysis and their political proposals.

[pt] A presente tese se propõe a fazer uma comparação das obras de Schelling e Hegel. Com a diferença entre coisa em si e fenômeno, Kant teria operado uma cisão entre sujeito e objeto. A partir disso, se descortina para nós um problema epistemológico, na medida em que há a delimitação das condições para nosso conhecimento, assim como uma questão ontológica, uma vez que se tem a mudança do sentido de objetividade e, por conseguinte, de realidade exterior. Nossa investigação então se concentra nas Antinomias da razão que apresentam dois discursos filosóficos opostos (organizados como tese versus antítese), tendo como horizonte a distinção entre fenômeno e coisa em si. Dando prosseguimento a isso, Fichte não apenas retém o sentido de subjetividade proposta por Kant com o sujeito transcendental, como ainda ressignifica o argumento antinômico a partir da distinção entre Eu (sujeito) e não-Eu (objeto). Essa diferença fundamenta duas tendências do pensamento filosófico, uma idealista, mais voltada para o sujeito e outra realista, que tem o objeto como ponto de partida. Assim, buscamos propor como a filosofia de Schelling e Hegel se encaixam nessa estrutura antinômica tanto presente em Kant como em Fichte com a distinção entre Eu e não-Eu e, respectivamente, as posições do idealismo e realismo. Schelling concebe um pensamento que se volta mais para a realidade exterior, algo que analisamos tanto em relação à sua Filosofia da Natureza e da Identidade. E na medida em que há uma filosofia que se volta para explicações ontológicas, Schelling propõe a intuição intelectual e a construção como meios epistemológicos de acesso ao Todo da Natureza, assim como à Identidade primeira. Ao contrário, Hegel resgata a questão transcendental na Fenomenologia do Espírito, não apenas demonstrando um desenvolvimento histórico inerente à consciência universal e ao Espírito, como também determina o que seria o Conceito. É então que nossa tese se concentra a investigação do que seria o conceitual como meio complexo para a organização da realidade. Observamos, assim, que Schelling e Hegel trazem dois projetos opostos tanto no que tange à epistemologia quanto à ontologia. Enquanto Schelling preza por uma filosofia centrada na realidade e seu desenvolvimento e, desse modo, o conhecimento será mais intuitivo, Hegel pensa em uma realidade organizada a partir do Conceito, o que lhe garante uma ontologia em que se torna claro o aspecto intelectualista ou melhor, lógico. Essa diferença se torna mais evidente no último capítulo, em que de fato comparamos a obra dos dois a partir do recorte proposto. É nesse sentido que, para responder à questão kantiana sobre sujeito e objeto, de modo a propor uma reunificação desses dois elementos, Schelling e Hegel optam por posições opostas, o que os coloca em uma configuração antinômica por natureza. / [en] This dissertation aims to compare the works of Schelling and Hegel. Taking the difference of thing in itself and phenomenon as a starting point, Kant came up with a split between subject and object. This division is the origin of an epistemological problem, since it implies a sharp definition of the conditions for knowledge. But even more, it also suggests an ontological matter, since it proposes a change in the meaning of objectivity and, therefore, of external reality. Our research entails an analysis of the so-called Antinomies of reason that shows two opposing philosophical standpoints (arranged as thesis versus antithesis), that are constructed according to the previous distinction of phenomenon and thing in itself. Following from Kant s philosophy, Fichte not only maintains the idea of subjectivity proposed by Kant s transcendental subject, but also transforms the argument present in the Antinomies with his distinction between the I (subject) and the Non-I (object). This difference underlies two trends in philosophical thinking, one idealistic, more focused on the subject and the other realistic, which has the object as a starting point. Thus, we suggest that the philosophy of Schelling and Hegel fit into this antinomic structure both present in Kant and Fichte with the distinction between I and Not-I and, respectively, the positions of idealism and realism. Schelling develop a thought that turns more towards external reality, something that is evident when we analyze his Philosophy of Nature and the Philosophy of Identity. And insofar it concerns an ontological explanation of reality, it is possible to understand why Schelling sees the intellectual intuition and the construction of matter as the two possible epistemological access of the Whole of Nature, as well as the original Identity. On the contrary, Hegel brings back the transcendental problem in his Phenomenology of the Spirit, not only demonstrating a historical development regarding consciousness and Spirit, but also exposing what he calls the Notion (or the Concept). Therefore, we try to consider what Hegel meant with the Notion and how it is a sort of complex medium used to organize reality. It is possible to think that Schelling and Hegel bring two opposing alternatives concerning both an epistemological perspective and an ontological plan. While Schelling values a philosophy centered on reality and its development and, thus, a more intuitive kind of knowledge, Hegel thinks of reality as organized through the Concept, which clearly implies a conceptual, or even better, logical ontology. This distinction between the two philosophers becomes more evident in the last chapter, in which we compare Schelling and Hegel. In this sense, in relation to the Kantian problem about subject and object, they try to offer a reconciliation of these two terms. And they do this by formulating two different philosophical perspectives, something that place them in an antinomic position.

The wars between Denmark and the German states during the 19th century raised the issue in the Swedish public opinion of a potential Swedish intervention and of Scandinavism. This study examined the formation of opinion in Swedish newspapers during the years 1848-1850 and 1864 in order to identify similarities and differences in the reporting of the two wars. Furthermore, the study has aimed to examine which aspects were highlighted when it came to the possibility of a Swedish intervention and about the influence of Scandinavism surrounding this topic. The newspapers that were used as source material for the period 1848-1850 were Aftonbladet, Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfartstidning, Öresundsposten and Stockholms Aftonpost while Aftonbladet, Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfartstidning and Nya Dagligt Allehanda were used as examples for the opinions during the war of 1864. The study is focusing on external and internal influencing factors based on the realistic and idealistic traditions. Since the theory primarily deals with the view of a nation’s security and of international politics, it was modified so it could explain the newspapers perceptions of those very same issues. The results show that the opinion was ambivalent in its reporting on the external influencing factors during both wars, as both realistic and idealistic arguments were presented ongoingly. Based on the internal influencing factors, the results show that public opinion during the first war was predominantly idealistic in favour of a Swedish intervention. The most vital arguments for this were Scandinavism and the opinion formation against a norm-breaker, in this case the German states according to the newspapers. The public opinion had, however, changed during the second war to a more realistic point of view. Sweden’s self-interest and strategic situation were now being highlighted in order to emphasize that Sweden should not participate in the war. However, the results show that there were also exceptions for both periods and that the public opinion did not fully agree on the questions revolving a Swedish intervention or on Scandinavism.

What can be assumed to be a general understanding of personal identity, is that it is constituted by a fixed and unchanging core of every self-conscious being that remains the same over time. This view could be traced to the notion that a perfect copy of you would not be you since you constitute the original and not the copy. But maybe it's not that simple, maybe a copy of you can also be you, while existing as your "original"?In this essay I will explore a functionalist argument as well as a self-constructed thought experiment that challenges the traditional view of personal identity as a fixed and unchanging core, inextricably linked to a single body. This exploration will lead to the idea of "metasurvival". Metasurvival is understood as the possibility that a person can survive through another person. The idea of metasurvival thus challenges the dichotomy between life and death. / Vad som kan antas vara en allmän uppfattning om personlig identitet, är att den utgörs av en fast och oföränderlig kärna i varje självmedveten varelse som förblir densamma över tid. Denna uppfattning skulle kunna härledas till föreställningen att en perfekt kopia av dig inte skulle vara dig, eftersom du utgör originalet och inte kopian. Men kanske är det inte så enkelt, kanske kan en kopia av dig också vara dig, samtidigt som du existerar som ditt ”original”?I denna uppsats kommer jag att utforska ett funktionalistiskt argument, samt ett eget konstruerat tankeexperiment som ifrågasätter den traditionella synen på personlig identitet som en fast och oföränderlig kärna, oupplösligt knuten till en enskild kropp. Denna utforskning kommer att leda fram till idéen om ”metaöverlevnad”. Med metaöverlevnad förstås möjligheten att en person kan överleva genom en annan person. Idéen om metaöverlevnad utmanar därmed dikotomin mellan liv och död.

La question de l’idéalisme leibnizien, qui permet d’entrer au cœur de la métaphysique de Leibniz, intéresse encore aujourd’hui de nombreux commentateurs. Ceux-ci utilisent les termes « réalisme », « idéalisme », voire « phénoménalisme », pour caractériser la métaphysique leibnizienne et un travail doit être fait pour rassembler et comparer leurs analyses, ce que nous proposons de faire d’abord dans ce mémoire. Ce sont surtout les textes mêmes de Leibniz qui seront abordés dans le présent travail et qui permettront de proposer la lecture suivante : si la métaphysique leibnizienne est réaliste en ce sens qu’elle met en place une entité elle-même « mind-independent », c'est-à-dire la monade, elle peut être considérée comme idéaliste (idéalisme substantiel), puisque cette entité, étant sans partie et sans étendue, est en ce sens idéelle. Et si tout peut se réduire à cette monade, c’est toute la fondation de la métaphysique de Leibniz qui se retrouve à être idéelle. Or, ceci ne règle pas le statut des corps qui peuvent être considérés soit comme de simples phénomènes réductibles aux perceptions des monades (idéalisme matériel), soit comme des êtres ayant une réalité indépendante d’un esprit, lesquels se réduiraient cette fois aux monades qui les composent (réalisme matériel). Face à ces deux possibilités, nous développerons une position mitoyenne qui défend l’idée que les corps sont en effet composés de monades qui leur procurent une certaine réalité, mais qu’ils dépendront toujours de l’action d’un esprit qui lui seul pourra leur procurer une certaine unité. / Many commentators try to read Leibniz either as an idealist or a realist, adding a phenomenalist reading to theses first two analyses. However, those terms are however often used with ambiguities, making Leibniz sometimes an even more complex philosopher. The first purpose of this master’s thesis is to gather and compare all these interpretations in order to clarify Leibniz’s thought. In this study, his writings will be used to defend the following interpretation : Leibniz can be considered as a realist since he develops a theory where monads act as « mind-independent » entities. Nonetheless, these monads are non-extended and without parts. Therefore, we can present an idealistic understanding of Leibniz, for they are the “basic building-blocks” of his metaphysic. Still, clarifications need to be made concerning the body. It can either be “real”, if it is seen as an aggregate of monads. Or, it can be considered a “mind-dependent” phenomenon if seen as the result of monadic perceptions. We will develop, between these two possibilities, an intermediate position stating that bodies are indeed aggregates of monads (matter realism). However they must be considered as phenomena for this same reason (phenomenalism). Corporeal aggregates require the action of the mind which alone can give them unity. On the contrary monads are said to be unum per se. Bodies are therefore phenomena but precisely well founded in the monads that compose them.

War Schelling ein politischer Denker? Und wenn ja, wie lässt sich seine politische Denkweise einordnen? Die Antworten auf beide Fragen gehen in der Forschung weit auseinander. Die vorliegende Dissertation schlägt daher eine neue Lesart vor, in dem sie Schelling als Antipolitiker deutet. Hierdurch gelingt es, der Ambivalenz und Breite Schellings Politikauffassung Rechnung zu tragen und die bisherige Forschung aus der Perspektive herauszuführen, die den Autor entweder als „unpolitischen Denker“ oder „politisch-reaktionären Denker“ verstanden wissen will. Die Arbeit begreift Antipolitik dabei als ein Unternehmen, welche das „Überinklusive“ und „Unausweichliche“ am Politik-Begriff zurückweist und im Gegenzug den Raum des Privatbürgerlichen, ja der Gesellschaft verteidigt. Die Praktikabilität des Begriffs wird in der Arbeit sowohl in Bezug auf Schelling als auch in Bezug auf spätere Fallbeispiele wie Heinrich von Treitschke, Constantin Franz oder Friedrich Nietzsche demonstriert. Außerdem plädiert die Untersuchung dafür, Antipolitik auch als ein aktuelles Phänomen zu begreifen, das sich in Gesellschaft immer dann formiert, wenn die Privatsphäre, der nichtpolitische Bereich, durch „staatliche Übergriffe“ oder „politisches Fehlversagen“ tangiert wird. / Was Schelling a political thinker? And if he was, what kind of political idea did Schelling prefer? These questions have been differently discussed in literature during the last decades. The following thesis argues for a new interpretation of Schelling as an antipolitician. The term antipolitics copes with Schelling’s ambivalent political thinking and avoids the recent perspective in research classifying him as a nonpolitical philosopher or reactionist. Antipolitics is described as an ambition that rejects the „unavoidable“ and „Überinklusive“ of politics in order to strengthen the area of privacy and society. The paper demonstrates the practicability of the term using the example of Schelling and also later authors like Heinrich von Treitschke, Constantin Franz or Friedrich Nietzsche. Moreover, the thesis argues that antipolitics can also be seen as a modern phenomenon, which usually takes place when privacy or the non-political space is restricted by political power.
