In Luke-Acts, Luke intentionally describes the early Jewish-Christian community in accordance with Isaiah’s prophecy for an ethical restoration of social justice in Israel. This thesis accomplishes this argument in three chapters. First, it explores Isaiah’s program of restoration and argues that it includes social justice through the Davidic Messiah and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Secondly, an argument is made that Luke’s presentation of Jesus accords with the Isaianic picture of a socially just Davidic king empowered by the Spirit, who works to bring social justice through his reign. Lastly, the events of Pentecost and Acts 2:42–47 with insight gathered from Acts 4:32–37, are considered. Here the argument is presented that Luke draws Isaianic themes together from his gospel to demonstrate that, in Acts, Jesus’ exaltation and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit result in Isaiah’s vision of a Jewish community restored to fruitfulness as a socially just society.

Esta pesquisa procura analisar a influência da tradição na tradução e interpretação da perícope de Isaías 52.13-53.12. Inicialmente esta pesquisa discute a teoria de Eugene A. Nida, que tem sido a principal teoria nas discussões de tradução da Bíblia. Juntamente com a análise da teoria de Nida analisou-se também as principais discussões sobre tradução de outras vertentes acadêmicas e o uso das mesmas pelas principais tradições religiosas: judaicas, católicas e protestantes. Por meio de estudo de casos específicos de tradução dessas diversas correntes religiosas analisou-se as influências teológicas na tradução de textos tais como Isaías 14.12 na tradição protestante, Isaías 9.5-6 na tradição judaica. A pesquisa abordou o uso da paráfrase como meio utilizado pelas tradições religiosas para defender suas doutrinas em textos sensíveis da Bíblia Hebraica, bem como o poder da tradição interpretativa como interferência na produção de traduções alinhadas às posições teológicas das respectivas tradições. A pesquisa procura delinear de forma breve, a história dos princípios de interpretação da tradição cristã e do judaísmo rabínico. As principais versões produzidas por essas tradições interpretativas: LXX, Vulgata, Targum e Peshitta foram expostas como produtos dessas tradições interpretativas e a perícope de Isaías 52.13-53.12 nessas antigas versões e no Novo Testamento, também como produtos de influência das diferentes tradições interpretativas do cristianismo e do judaísmo rabínico. Por fim, o trabalho busca mostrar como o texto da perícope de Isaías 52.13-53.12 foi tratado nas fontes antigas do judaísmo rabínico e do cristianismo e os efeitos dessas tradições interpretativas em duas versões modernas da Bíblia Hebraica. A de linha judaica, conhecida como Bíblia Hebraica da Editora e Livraria Sêfer e a de linha protestante, denominada Nova Bíblia Viva / This research analyzes the influence of tradition in the translation and interpretation of the pericope of Isaiah 52:13-53:12. Initially, this research discusses the theory of Eugene A. Nida, who has been the leading theory in discussions of Bible translation. Along with the analysis of the theory of Nida analyzed also the main discussions on translation of other academic aspects and their use by major religious traditions: Jewish, Catholic and Protestant. Through case studies of specific translation of these various religious currents analyzed the theological influences in the translation of texts such as Isaiah 14:12 in the Protestant tradition, Isaiah 9:5-6 in Jewish tradition. The study addressed the use of paraphrase as a means used by the religious traditions to defend their doctrines in sensitive texts of the Hebrew Bible, as well as the power of the interpretive tradition as interference in the production of translations aligned theological positions of the respective traditions. The research seeks to outline briefly the history of the principles of interpretation of the Christian tradition and rabbinic Judaism. The main versions produced by these interpretive traditions: LXX, Vulgate, Targum and Peshitta were exposed to products of these interpretive traditions and the pericope of Isaiah 52:13-53:12 those old versions and the New Testament, as well as products of the influence of different interpretive traditions of Christianity and rabbinic Judaism. Finally, the work seeks to show how the text of the pericope of Isaiah 52:13-53:12 was treated in the ancient sources of rabbinic Judaism and Christianity and the effects of these two interpretive traditions in modern versions of the Hebrew Bible.

Searching carefully the XVIII century, Berlin will identify on it the source of several ideologies and political positions current in the twentieth century, putting on risk the individual freedom. In the history of philosophy, Berlin will say, always looking for a definitive truth, to bring the perpetual peace among men, and the full knowledge about them. Berlin will be against this kind of thought, pointing the value pluralism as an incommensurably and incompatibility proof among the several human intents, and the search for a final truth lead the men to an Utopia, with tragic outcome oftentimes / A presente dissertação tem por intenção acompanhar o pensamento do filósofo britânico Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997) no tocante à história das ideias e, mais precisamente, no desenvolvimento de seus dois conceitos de liberdade: a negativa e a positiva. Debruçando-se detidamente no século XVIII, Berlin identificará nele a origem de muitas ideologias e posições políticas em voga no século XX, e que colocam em risco a liberdade individual. Na história da filosofia, afirmará Berlin, sempre se buscou por uma verdade que fosse definitiva, e que traria a paz perpétua entre os homens, bem como o pleno conhecimento destes. Berlin será contrário a este tipo de pensamento, afirmando o pluralismo de valores como prova da incomensurabilidade e incompatibilidade entre os muitos intentos humanos, e que a busca por uma verdade final conduz os homens a uma utopia, muitas vezes com fins trágicos

Orientador: Ivan Esperança Rocha / Banca: Milton Schwantes / Banca: Andrea Lucia Dorini de Oliveira Carvalho Rossi / Resumo: Esta dissertação objetiva estudar os conflitos proféticos no Antigo Testamento, especialmente os caracterizados em Mq 2,6-11; 3,5-8 e Is 28,7-13. Ao fundamentar-se teoricamente nas noções de campo e habitus de Pierre Bourdieu, a análise coloca o problema de forma distinta da historiografia bíblica. Ao invés de tratar do "falso profetismo" e suas implicações teológicas, a pesquisa opta por buscar as bases sociais da polêmica profética: Isaías e Miquéias produzem seus discursos de um lugar específico no campo religioso na Judá do século VIII a.C. e é este ponto de vista diferente - entre profetas canônicos e nebî'îm - que produz a disputa pela palavra profética. Diferentemente da História Deuteronomista (Js-Re) e de Jeremias, nos textos proféticos do século VIII o leitmotiv dos conflitos não é a mentira (sheqer), mas a crítica às autoridades que exercem a liderança de forma irresponsável no nível sócio-político. Para Miquéias e Isaías, os nebî'îm estão sob a influência de bebida alcoólica e só pensam no seu próprio bem-estar. O lugar de descanso para os pobres (hammenûhah) não é a prioridade dos nebî'îm, afinal estes falam em favor dos poderosos de Judá. Eis a base da polêmica em Miquéias e Isaías: o habitus que origina suas visões de mundo é diverso daquele que sustenta as pregações dos nebî'îm. Isso resulta em grupos de suporte diferentes e, por fim, em projetos sociais divergentes. / Abstract: This dissertation aims to study the prophetic conflicts in the Old Testament, especially as they are characterized in Mic 2,6-11; 3,5-8 and Isa 28,7-13. Theoretically, we are basing in Pierre Bourdieu notions of field and habitus, therefore, the analyses puts the problem in a distinct way of the biblical historiography. Instead of treating of the false prophetism and its theological implication, the research opts to look for the social bases of the prophetic controversy: Isaiah and Micah produce their speeches from a specific place in the religious field in Judah of the VIII century and it is this different point of view - between canonical prophets and nebî'îm - that produce the dispute for the prophetic word. Differently of Deuteronomistc History (Joshua-Kings) and Jeremiah, in the VIII century prophetic texts, the leitmotiv of the conflicts is not the lie (sheqer), but the critic of the authorities that exercise the leadership in an irresponsible way in the socio-political level. For Micah and Isaiah, the nebî'îm are under the influence of alcoholic drink and only think about their own well-being. The rest place for the poor (hammenûhah) is not the priority of the nebî'îm, after all, they speak in favor of powerful people of Judah. Here is the base of the controversy in Micah and Isaiah: the habitus that originates their world visions is quite different of that sustaining the nebî'îm preaching. This results in different support groups and, finally, in rival social projects. / Mestre

This thesis offers a comparison, which rarely, if ever, has been made between Isaiah Berlin and Charles Taylors account of the ideas of Johann Gottfried Herder on the relationship of language, culture and nationality. It argues that Berlin misrepresents Herders ideas in emphasizing the extent to which differences in language and culture necessarily result in ethnic and national conflicts between incompatible cultural worldviews, while Taylor does correctly understand that Herder sees no reason for why such conflict between cultural entities should be inevitable either within a single state or between states. The thesis concludes by offering reasons for why Herder, properly understood, allows us to be optimistic about the future of both intrastate and interstate relationships among diverse cultural groups.

<p>In this dissertation, I advance a new interpretation of the meaning and political implications of Isaiah Berlin's theory of value pluralism. My argument focuses on two puzzles within the literature on value pluralism: first, value pluralist political theorists advance a variety of differing political views on an ostensibly value pluralist basis; second, and more deeply, their writings betray significant ambiguity on what value pluralism means in the first place. I identify two central sources of these problems. First, two distinct sets of ideas in Berlin's work, which I label the "moral-practical" and "societal groupings" versions of value pluralism, are persistently conflated by both Berlin and more recent value pluralist theorists. Second, attempts to justify a political view on the basis of value pluralism run aground on a "priority problem" stemming from the central value pluralist concept of incommensurability. In my approach, I maintain the distinction between the moral-practical and societal groupings theories, focusing on the moral-practical version as a more original and less well-understood contribution of Berlin's thought. I also develop a strategy, which I call "giving incommensurability its due," that avoids the priority problem by focusing on metaethical (or second-order), epistemic, and procedural considerations. This strategy supports two major sets of political implications: a liberal-constitutional framework of basic rights and liberties, and a robust, vibrant form of participatory and deliberative democratic politics. This turn to democracy constitutes an important shift vis-à-vis the current literature, which has, up to now, been preoccupied with value pluralism's relationship to liberalism.</p> / Dissertation

A key theoretical debate underlying the now defunct Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulation known as the Fairness Doctrine is conflict over what constitutes the right to freedom of speech: a positive or negative conception. Similarly, since repeal of the Doctrine, other FCC measures to uphold the “public-interest” standard in broadcasting have relied on a positive conception of speech. This thesis demonstrates the history of this debate through court cases, news reports, scholarly articles and historical documents. It then is argued that the positive-right nature of these regulations is problematic philosophically, constitutionally and practically. The positive-right conception lends itself to an uncomfortable level of paternalism on the part of government regulators, a constitutional abridgement of negative-right speech and a tedious involvement of government in regulation that can lead to a chilling effect on speech. The conclusion then suggests further areas of research related to the topics covered in the thesis.
