La propuesta de Karl Popper (1902-1994) de presentar sus ideas sobre la música se encuentran fundamentalmente en su autobiografía intelectual Búsqueda sin Término, publicada originalmente en inglés en 1976 bajo el título: Unended Quest. Intellectual Autobiography. La decisión del autor de dar a conocer estas ideas sobre la música e incluirlas en su propia biografía tuvo, como se muestra en el texto referido, tres objetivos esenciales. El primero, ubicar en el plano de la evolución intelectual, la influencia y la importancia de la música en su formación. El segundo, mostrar en qué medida estas especulaciones sobre la música tuvieron una importancia relativa en el desarrollo de su filosofía de madurez, sobre todo en la conceptualización final de la “teoría de los tres mundos”. Y, finalmente, brindar algunas consideraciones básicas sobre el derrotero de la música contemporánea al autor (la música de vanguardia), tomando partido por una opción estética afín a sus teorías filosóficas...

En el presente trabajo se propone un método analítico para la determinación de agua en "colodión de acetato"; que es una disolución de acetato de celulosa secundario en acetona, llamado asi en la industria hilandera por BU consistencia y apariencia similar al colodión de nitrocelulosa. El colodión de acetato constituye un caso problemático del método Klarl Fieher: Las catona a reaccionan con metanol en medio ácido para dar acetalee yagua. La solución Karl Fisher recomendada es del tipo estabilizada (libre de metanol), determinándose el punto final en forma amperométr!ca por la técnica del punto muerto.

Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University / The purpose of this thesis is to determine the function of the concept of God in Karl Jaspers' metaphysical philosophy. This concept is central to his system, but can only be understood in terms of Jaspers' own conception of philosophy, both as a historically rooted discipline and as an individual quest. The difficulties encountered in an attempted interpretation of Jaspers are largely due to his own preference for a "gliding" terminology and an "open-ended" system. His own insistence is that aim in philosophy takes precedence over method. Philosophy is essentially metaphysics, yet it cannot become an ontological "science of Being." Philosophy is given its initial impetus in the "ultimate situations" of life, but satisfying answers are precluded by partial nature of our knowledge. Epistemological dualism, as an ultimate position, is to be overcome in terms of the concept of Encompassing. This is the reality illuminated at the horizons of our knowledge. It has two major aspects: The being which we are and Being Itself. The former has its own modes, which correspond to the levels of existence in human life. Empirical existence, or Dasein, is factual historically; consciousness as such, or intellection, is the faculty of rationality; spirit, or mind, corresponds to the integrated, total personality [TRUNCATED]

This thesis is an investigation of Karl Barth’s theology in the turbulent and dynamic years of his nascent career: 1915 – 1922, with a special focus on the manner in which he construed Christian and ecclesial existence. The thesis argues that Karl Barth developed his theology with an explicit ecclesial and ethical motive, that is, he developed his theology as a deliberate attempt to shape the ethical life of the church in the context within which he lived and worked. It contends that criticisms suggesting that Barth does not have an ethics are inaccurate assessments of his work, and in fact, that although it is evident that his ethical thought continued to develop throughout his career, major trajectories of Barth’s development are present in germinal form even at this early stage. Following the lead and suggestion of John Webster, the thesis adopts a chronological and exegetical reading of Barth’s work from his initial dispute with his liberal heritage circa 1915 until the publication of the second edition of his commentary on Romans. Materials examined from this period include sermons, lectures, book reviews, personal correspondence and biblical commentaries, with particular care being taken to identify the occasion and historical context within which Barth presented his thought. This reading seeks to uncover and present the development, structure, content and logic of Barth’s own thought, in hope that the central concerns of this thesis will be validated. Examination of these materials has indeed shown that Barth developed his theology with an ecclesio-ethical motive. The significance of this thesis is twofold. First, it contributes to broader understanding of Barth’s theology both in its early development, and with regard to his ecclesiology and ethics. Second, it provides a significant framework and material for contemporary ecclesial reflection on its own identity and mission.
