Tal proposta justifica-se não apenas por abordar um aspecto pouco estudado em relação à obra selecionada, mas também por possibilitar o levantamento de questões teóricas relevantes em relação ao gênero romance. A metodologia de pesquisa consiste de etapas distintas. Primeiramente, foi feito um levantamento histórico do conceito de trágico, desde o surgimento da Tragédia Grega até sua apropriação pelos filósofos do idealismo alemão pós-kantiano, com o intuito de formular uma concepção sobre o conceito de trágico. Em seguida, discute-se a possibilidade de manifestação do trágico dentro da forma romance, especificamente por meio da figura do herói; para isso, são abordadas possíveis relações entre três obras modelares da literatura moderna: Hamlet, Werther e Mrs. Dalloway. Na terceira etapa do trabalho, são analisados aspectos de O tempo e o vento que situam a obra na tradição do trágico no romance e, ainda, os elementos da narrativa que demonstram o quanto a narrativa de Verissimo pode ser original dentro dessa tradição. Conclui-se, então, que o fator de originalidade da trilogia é a forma de abordagem da questão autoral. Por meio desta, há a mediação do conflito trágico central do romance, além da busca por trazer unidade à realidade representada através do trabalho estético. Sendo assim, o romance mostra-se capaz de conciliar elementos épicos (busca da unidade) e trágicos (processo dialético representado no conflito do herói) / It is this work’s objective to analyze the presence of the tragic element in the novel O tempo e o vento (written by Brazilian novelist Erico Verissimo). The proposal is justified not only because it approaches a seldom studied aspect about the selected work, but also because it enables the surveying of relevant theoretical questions about novel as a literary genre. The research method consists in different steps. First of all it was made a historical survey about the tragic concept, since the raising of Greek Tragedy until its appropriation by the German idealistic philosophers of the post-Kant era, in order to formulate a concept of tragic. Then it is discussed the possibility of tragic manifestation into the novel’s form, specifically through the hero’s figure; in order to illustrate this possible relations, three archetype works of modern literature (Hamlet, Werther and Mrs. Dalloway) are approached. In the third step of this work some aspects of O tempo e o vento are analyzed, in order to situate the novel in a tradition of the tragic into modern novel, and still elements of the narrative which demonstrate the originality of Verissimo’s work to this tradition are also analyzed. So it is concluded that the factor of originality in Verissimo’s trilogy is the form under which the authorial question is approached. It enables the mediation of the central tragic conflict in the novel, and conveys unity to the reality represented throughout the aesthetic work. In doing so the novel shows itself capable of conciliate epic (the pursuit of unity) and tragic (the dialectic process represented in the hero’s conflict) elements

Cette thèse porte sur la poétique du roman de Victor Hugo, Theodor Fontane et Thomas Hardy en s'appuyant plus spécifiquement sur l'étude de L'Homme qui rit (1869), Errements et Tourments (1888) et Tess d'Urberville (1891). En rapprochant ces trois romanciers majeurs mais tenus à l'écart des théories générales du roman, il s'agit de montrer le maintien d'une conception du roman moderne comme forme poétique du monde, s'inscrivant dans un horizon de pensée idéaliste, progressiste et critique. Hugo, Fontane et Hardy, romanciers qui se disent avant tout poètes, font le choix de faire du roman une tragédie, forme poétique du monde qui va à l'encontre du prosaïsme moderne et romanesque théorisé par Lukacs, à la suite de Hegel. Face au nihilisme et aux théories du roman réaliste qui voient le jour dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle et tentent de définir – au sens restrictif du terme – le genre romanesque, ils retrouvent le modèle du roman romantique et le redéfinissent face au roman réaliste. Leur poétique est alors fondée sur la « poiétisation » de la prose, autrement dit, sur l'imagination, le symbolique et le métaphorique. Ils affirment ainsi la spécificité et la possibilité d'une expérience poétique, c'est-à-dire subjective, héroïque et morale du monde, ainsi que la capacité du roman à produire un savoir poétique sur le monde et l'histoire. / This thesis deals with the poetics of the novel in Victor Hugo, Theodor Fontane and Thomas Hardy, with a specific focus on The Man who Laughs (1869), Trials and Tribulations (1888) and Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891). By bringing together these three novelists who are widely acknowledged as major writers yet ignored by general theories of the novel, this study will show how a vision of the modern novel as a poetic rendition of reality, with an idealist, progressive and critical background, has maintained itself. Hugo, Fontane and Hardy, three novelists who considered themselves to be poets first and foremost, opted to turn the novel into a tragedy, a poetic rendition of reality which stands in contrast with Lukacs’ post-Hegelian theories of the modern novel as a prosaic literary genre. In the face of nihilism and the theories of the realist novel which surfaced in the second half of the XIXth century and attempted to define – in the restrictive sense of the word – the genre of the novel, they turned back to the model of the Romantic novel and reinvented it at a time when the realist novel was preeminent. Their poetics was therefore based on the “poietisation” of prose, in other words, based on the imaginary, the symbolic and the metaphoric. This enabled them to assert the specificity and possibility of a poetic, that is to say subjective, heroic and moral experience of the world, as well as the ability of the novel to generate poetical knowledge about the world and history.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Martin_LuizFernandoBarrere_D.pdf: 1287336 bytes, checksum: 3ebead21d8c89e099eda7dc86e5477f6 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009 / Resumo: Trata-se, inicialmente, de neste trabalho analisar a leitura hegeliana da filosofia cética, especificamente, o ceticismo pirrônico. Dessa maneira, será possível começar a avaliar em que medida o ceticismo é importante para a filosofia de Hegel em geral e, em particular, para a constituição de seu método dialético especulativo. Percorreremos textos, de várias fases da filosofia de Hegel, no qual o ceticismo ou é tema central ou aparece dentro de um contexto que também nos interessa, a saber, a discussão acerca do método. No que respeita a este último, objeto da segunda parte da tese, examinaremos na Ciência da Lógica os momentos onde podemos observar de modo privilegiado a constituição do método dialético hegeliano, a saber, a seção dedicada na Doutrina da Essência às determinações de reflexão e a seção intitulada Idéia Absoluta, último capítulo do livro. A partir desse estudo da Ciência da Lógica, poderemos então julgar com maior exatidão no que o método filosófico hegeliano é devedor da filosofia cética, isto é, como esse método é formulado de modo que o ceticismo seja integrado a ele. A idéia central é mostrar que não há, da parte de Hegel, uma simples refutação do ceticismo, mas antes, que o ceticismo é a filosofia, incontornável, da qual se deve partir para que a filosofia não caia vítima das aporias céticas. Essa é a via que Hegel encontra para não se tornar cético pirrônico e, ao mesmo tempo, não ser alvo da crítica cética / Abstract: First it means to analyse Hegel's reading of the skeptical philosophy, specifically pyrrhonian skepticism. Thus it will be possible to assess to what extent the skepticism is important to Hegel's philosophy in general and, in particular, for the formation of his speculative dialectical method. We will cover texts from many phases of Hegel's philosophy, in which skepticism is focus or appears within a context that also interests us, namely the discussion of the method. Regarding this last one, subject of the second part of the thesis, we examine in Science of Logic the moments where we can observe in a special way the formation of hegelian dialectical method: the section in Doctrine of Essence that is dedicated to the determinations of reflection and the section entitled Absolute Idea, the last chapter of the book. From this study of Science of Logic we can judge more accurately what the Hegelian philosophical method is liable to the skeptical philosophy, which means, how this method is formulated in a way that skepticism is a part of it. The main idea is to show that Hegel does not try a simple refutation of skepticism, more than this he shows that skepticism is the philosophy, unavoiable, which preserves the philosophy from fall victim of skepticals aporias. This is the way that Hegel finds to not become skeptical pyrrhonian and also the subject of skeptical criticism / Doutorado / Mestre em Filosofia

Com a finalidade de propor uma abordagem filosófica em torno de diversos problemas atuais da estética musical, em especial buscando identificar e situar uma crise existente na sua elaboração disciplinar, serão lançados nesta tese estudos sobre a problemática relação da estética com outros campos do conhecimento, tanto aqueles vinculados às ciências empírico-matemáticas quanto às ciências humanas. Questões centrais sobre a relação entre as artes e a filosofia, sobre o papel e a situação do esteta moderno, e sobre as tendências da composição musical contemporânea também serão abordadas, sempre no intuito de apresentar possibilidades epistemológicas para uma nova estética musical que sejam consubstanciais aos problemas das artes e da música contemporânea, bem como elementos para definições de arte e da música que sejam alternativas à histórica pregnância na modernidade do pensamento de vanguarda. Para tanto, esta tese se divide em quatro grandes ensaios, pretendendo-se que possam ser tomados, para além de sua unidade temática e estrutural, também isoladamente. / In this dissertation, studies about the problematic relationship of aesthetics with other fields of knowledge, as those bound to empirical-mathematical sciences as well to human sciences, will be launched with the goal of proposing a philosophical approach around various current musical aesthetics problems, specially aiming to identify and to situate an existent crisis in its disciplinary elaboration. Main questions about the relation among arts and philosophy, about the role and situation of the modern aesthete, and about trends of contemporary musical composition will be broached as well, always intending to present epistemológical possibilities to a new musical aesthetics that are consubstantial to the problems of arts and contemporary music, as well as elements for definitions of art and music which may be alternative to historical impression of modernity on avant-garde thinking. Therefore, this dissertation is divided in four great essays, with the intention that they may be taken, over and above its thematic and structural unit, also separately.

Abstract Essay in political science, C-level, by Bo-Josef Eriksson, spring semester 2007 Tutor: Susan Marton ”Universal morality - does it exist? - A case study of small states foreign policy” The purpose of this essay is to examine how well does realism stand of against idealism when the focus of the study is on small states foreign policy? The essay takes it’s starting point at the debate between the two theories of international relations (IR). Realism is the theory that has had the most impact on the study of IR since the second world war. Idealism has been it’s greatest opponent and the debate is still active even up til this day. My case study of Danmarks foreign aid policy constitutes a worst critical case scenario for realism and therfore my assumptions were that idealism would be the theory that could explain the core-elements of the Danish foregin aid. Core-elements is the caracteristic of the different theory’s and the core-elements of idealism is the oposite of those of realism. The actual examination-material is the policy documnts of Danida. Danida stands for; Danish International Development Assistance, and it’s an department under the Danish ministry of foreign affairs. The answer to if Danida’s foreign aid policy is based on realistic or idealisti core-elements is that it is based on idealistic core-elements. So to answer the purpose realism didn’t stand that well of when the focus were on a small states foreign policy. The limitations of my study lies in the fact that it’s an qualitative research which means that you may have som problem with generalisations so to be able to say something about all small states there will have to be more research done in this particular area.

Ce travail visera à analyser la pensée politique du théologien et politologue américain Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971), et plus particulièrement la façon dont le Pragmatisme a pu influencer son oeuvre. Critique à l’égard de l’idéalisme libéral de John Dewey (1859-1952), et plus spécifiquement à l’encontre de l’optimisme dont faisait preuve le pragmatisme politique vis-à-vis de la nature de l’homme, Niebuhr n’arriva pourtant pas à échapper à l’influence du pragmatisme, d’où le sujet de ce travail de recherche : les influences du Pragmatisme politique, celui de John Dewey plus particulièrement, sur l’oeuvre de Reinhold Niebuhr et sur son réalisme chrétien. Cette thèse rassemblera les grandes oeuvres des deux penseurs pour comparer la pensée politique de chacun. Selon Niebuhr, la pensée de Dewey n’était qu’une continuation de l’idéalisme des Lumières ; Dewey restait figé dans un optimisme injustifié à propos de la vision globalement bonne de la nature humaine. Néanmoins, malgré cette critique, Niebuhr fut influencé par ce dernier. L’objectif de cette thèse est de souligner ces influences sur le travail de Niebuhr afin de montrer que la pensée niebuhrienne est un prolongement de la pensée pragmatiste de Dewey, démontré par le Pragmatisme chrétien, et que Niebuhr fait partie du courant de pensée libérale malgré lui. Au mépris des différences fondamentales entre les deux hommes, nous allons donc tenter de démontrer que Niebuhr s’inscrit dans une tradition intellectuelle typiquement américaine, le Pragmatisme étant considéré comme le seul mouvement philosophique authentiquement américain, afin de parvenir à une plus grande connaissance de ces deux penseurs majeurs, mais, aussi, du paysage politique américain. / This work aims to analyze the political thought of the American theologian and political scientist Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971). More specifically, it will analyze the way in which Pragmatism was able to influence Niebuhr’s writings. Critical towards the liberal idealism of John Dewey (1859-1952), Niebuhr’s Christian realism was a counter against the optimism that political Pragmatism demonstrated in regards to the nature of man. Despite these criticisms, Niebuhr was unable to escape Pragmatism’s influence. This influence is the reason for this research: how political Pragmatism, specifically that of John Dewey was able to have an impact on Reinhold Niebuhr’s works and his Christian realism. This thesis will study the major works of these two thinkers in order to compare the political thought of each thinker. Younger than Dewey, Niebuhr had for a long time considered Dewey’s thought as nothing more than an idealized and outdated continuation of Enlightenment optimism which was incapable of accurately analyzing the contemporary world. Nevertheless, Niebuhr was influenced by Dewey. This thesis’s goal is to highlight the influences of Pragmatism in Niebuhr’s works in order to show that Niebuhrian thought is a continuation of Dewey’s pragmatic thought, specifically through the notions of Christian Pragmatism and therefore, fits within an overall framework of American Liberalism. In spite of the fundamental differences in thought, we are going to attempt to show that Niebuhr was a part of the typically American intellectual tradition, that is to say, Pragmatism; considered to be a uniquely American philosophical movement. It will be analyzed in order to achieve a greater understanding of these important thinkers, but also, of America’s political landscape.

People in refuge face states with a dilemma. This dilemma consists of a wish (or obligation) to help those who need a refuge, and at the same time consider domestic issues such as financial costs and security problems. Thus, there are two perspectives which are important to consider when refugee policies are made. The aim of this paper is to see which perspective the EU had when making their migration policies. The question asked is: which perspective is behind the making of European refugee policy? The theories realism and idealism are used to describe the conflicts in the making of European refugee policies. The method used is called qualitative text analyses in which you take out the most relevant information in the different parts of a text. The results showed that it has been difficult for the European states to agree on a common European migration law. The agreements that have been made have made it more difficult for refugees to enter the European Union, that is, a protective politics have been made. This leads to the conclusion that EU: s refugee policies at large have been formed from a realist perspective to protect the interests of the national states. Key words: European refugee politics, realism and idealism, Geneva Convention.

The aim of this essay is to clarify if there is an ideological difference within the political area of foreign policy of the United States. The question that will be answered is: Is the American foreign policy coloured by different ideologies, or has that area of politics become an arena without ideology differences? In order to answer the question, the method used in this essay is idea analysis using ideal types as analytical instrument. The texts that are being analysed are the State of the Union Addresses of four American presidents. The presidents are Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton and each president give this speech once a year. The presidents are chosen due to the fact that their presidencies follow each other and are as recently in time as possible. After analysing all of the speeches and considering the surrounding circumstances, like the Cold War, I came to the conclusion that there is no ideological difference within foreign policy of the United States of America. Some areas of foreign policy, however, show more or less connotations to either idealism or realism. Even tough ideology plays a part; there is no difference between the liberal party and the conservative party.

La thèse, composée de quatre volumes, propose l’ensemble de l’œuvre du dramaturge, à savoir les quinze pièces – dont sept sont inédites –, selon ses différentes caractéristiques : théâtre idéaliste (collaboration artistique), renouvellement de la tragédie antique (scènes de plein air), drames historiques (volonté d’accéder aux théâtres nationaux), adaptations dramatiques (traduction et translation). Les pièces, retranscrites, annotées (variantes et notes), sont accompagnées d’études (introduction et notice). L’introduction générale permet de présenter et de saisir le théâtre de l’écrivain, ses expériences scéniques ainsi que ses considérations sur l’art dramatique. L’édition critique a pour but de donner à lire l’œuvre injustement négligée, en rappelant le rôle important de ce théâtre dans l’histoire des idées et dans l’évolution artistique et littéraire de la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu’au début du XXe siècle. / This is to prepare the scientific edition of the complete theatre work of Joséphin Péladan. The thesis in four volumes offers all of the work of the playwright, namely fifteen plays – seven of which are unpublished – according to its different characteristics: idealistic theater (artistic collaboration), renewal of ancient tragedy (outdoor scenes), historical dramas (willingness to access the national theaters), dramatic adaptations (translation and transposition). The plays, transcribed and annotated (variants and notes), are accompanied by some analysis (introductions and detailed descriptions). The general introduction presents the playwright and allows to understand his complete work, his stage experience and his reflections on the art of drama. The critical edition of the theatrical works of Joséphin Péladan aims to render accessible his plays unjustly neglected in spite of his profound influence on the theatre creation during the late 19th century and the early 20th century.

This dissertation's purpose is to test the hypothesis that beliefs in the possibility of post-mortem survival can be rationally held within the context of the contemporary scientific and philosophical environment. In terms of criteria of rationality, a basic evidentialism is assumed, such that propositions which are sufficiently supported by the available evidence can be rationally held. With regard to the compatibility with contemporary science and philosophy, it follows as a further criterion that the relevant evidence must be satisfactorily anchored within the framework of these traditions. The relevant evidence concerns two levels. First, the basic level of the conceptual coherence of afterlife beliefs is addressed, so that the logical possibility of post-mortem survival can be established. Secondly, the viability of the metaphysics which are implied in the support of the logical possibility (i.e. the metaphysics needed to actualize post-mortem survival) is defended, establishing the metaphysical possibility of post-mortem survival. At this stage, reductive physicalism, which is the only position that effectively undermines post-mortem survival, is criticized, and the problem of interaction which burdens several of the survival-enabling ontologies is addressed. As for the criterion of scientific compatibility, it is further shown that contemporary physics are compatible with the survival-enabling metaphysics, and that contemporary physics can be argued to provide a moderate positive relevance with regard to these positions. The conclusion drawn is that belief in the possibility of post-mortem survival is not only rationally permissible within the framework of contemporary science and philosophy, but also rationally obligatory, i.e. that this possibility cannot rationally be denied with regard to the reviewed evidence.
