O pensamento de Hobbes, que se aproxima do realismo, entende o cenário internacional como predominante de conflito devido aos Estados buscarem a acumulação indefinida de poder e possuírem o direito natural sobre todas as coisas. Os pensamentos de Locke e Grotius se aproximam do paradigma do racionalismo, pois acreditam que os Estados podem ser racionalmente induzidos à cooperação. Para Locke, o cenário internacional é de paz enquanto a lei natural for cumprida. A violação da lei natural autoriza uma guerra justa. De acordo com Grotius, o homem possui naturalmente o desejo de viver em sociedade ordenada segundo sua reta razão. Grotius conjuga realistas e racionalistas ao argumentar pelo estabelecimento de regras mínimas para o mínimo de sociabilidade. A violação dessas regras mínimas autoriza uma guerra justa. Concluiremos que os pensamentos dos três filósofos são complementares para uma visão unificada dos fenômenos internacionais / Abstract: Realism and rationalism are two paradigms which reflect the main lines guiding international relations: cooperation and conflict. Hobbes' ideas, which approach realism, envision the international scene as predominantly conflictuous due to a quest of States to reach indefinite accumulation of power and to possess the natural right over all things. The thoughts of Locke and Grotius approach the paradigm of rationalism, for their belief in that the States can rationally be induced into cooperation. For Locke, the international scene is of peace as long as there is a fulfillment of natural law - the breaking of which would authorize a fair war. According to Grotius, man naturally possesses the desire of living in a society ordained according to his right reason. Grotius conjugates realists and rationalists when arguing for the establishment of a minimum of rules for a minimum of sociability. The breaking of these minimum rules authorizes a fair war. We shall conclude that the thoughts of the three philosophers are complementary for a unified vision of the international phenomena / Mestrado / Mestre em Filosofia

This work largely concerns the roles of Matthew Locke and Henry Purcell in the history of English keyboard music as reflected in their keyboard suites. Both, as composers of the Restoration period, integrated the French style with the more traditional English techniques--especially, in the case of Purcell, the virginalist heritage-- in their keyboard music. Through a detailed examination of their suites, I reveal differences in their individual styles and set forth unique characteristics of each composer. Both composers used the then traditional almain-corant-saraband pattern as the basis of the suite, to which they added a variety of English country dances. At the same time they modified the traditional dances with a variety of French and Italian idioms, thereby making distinctive individual contributions to the genre.

It is now taken for granted that the globe is divided into mutually exclusive territories, each of which belong to a particular community. To be a political community, it is thought, means to have sole possession of a piece of the Earth’s surface and to have complete authority over that land. Yet the history of political thought has little to tell us about when and how this conception arose. I argue that the first complete statement of this doctrine of the territorial state emerged with Emer de Vattel’s The Law of Nations in 1758. Vattel’s doctrine synthesized three ideas which had been developing in the genres of natural law and the law of nations since the Peace of Westphalia: the state was supreme over its territory; it possessed independent moral personality; and it was tied to a permanent human community. This dissertation recovers the ideological resources of territorial state formation by tracing the philosophical roots of these ideas in Samuel von Pufendorf, John Locke, and Christian Wolff. I argue that although Vattel’s doctrine would appear as an ideal type, it was in fact provincially rooted in the narrow context of former dynastic fiefdoms in the Holy Roman Empire. I reach this conclusion through a spatial contextualist method of reading canonical texts in the natural law and law of nations traditions. I find that the shared linguistic practices that emerged to conceptualize and defend territorial states often relied upon assuming preexisting communities who laid claim to the land as their ‘native country.’

This dissertation examines the philosophical and spiritual beliefs that underpin William Blake’s account of the imagination, his objections to empiricism and his understanding of poetic language. It begins by considering these beliefs in relation to the idealist principles of George Berkeley as a means of illustrating Blake’s own objections to the empiricism of John Locke. The philosophies of Locke and Berkeley were popular in Blake’s society and their philosophical positions were well known to him. Blake and Berkeley are aligned against Locke’s belief in an objective world composed of matter, and his theory of abstract ideas. Both reject Locke’s principles by affirming the primacy of the perceiving subject. However, Blake disagrees with Berkeley’s theologically traditional understanding of God. He views perception as an act of artistic creation and believes that spiritual divinity is contained within and is intrinsic to man’s human form. This account of human perception as the creative act of an immanent divinity is further elucidated through a comparison with the twentieth-century existential phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. In the Phenomenology of Perception (1945), Merleau-Ponty examines human experience as the functioning of an embodied consciousness in a shared life-world. While Merleau-Ponty does not make any reference to a spiritual deity, his understanding of experience offers a link between Berkeley’s criticisms of Locke and Blake’s own objections to empiricism. Through a comparative examination of Blake and Merleau-Ponty, the imagination is revealed to be the creative or formative consciousness that proceeds from the integrated mind-body complex of the “Divine Body” or “human form divine”. This embodied existence locates the perceiving self in a dynamic physical landscape that is shared with other embodied consciousnesses. It is this communal or intersubjective interaction between self and other that constitutes the experienced world. Merleau-Ponty’s account of the chiasm and his notion of flesh, discussed in The Visible and the Invisible, are applied to Blake in order to elucidate his belief in poetic vision and the constitutive power of language. The form and function of language are compared with that of the body, because both bring the individual experience of a perceiving subject into being in the world and facilitate the reciprocal exchange between the self and other. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that Blake characterises the body and language as the living media of the imagination, which facilitate a creative exchange between a perceiving self and a shared life-world.

Die ersten Diskussionen musikalischer Modulation oder Ausweichung von einer Tonart zu einer anderen finden sich nicht in Kompositionslehren, sondern in Generalbasstraktaten. Dabei erscheinen diese neuen Konzeptionen grundsätzlich bei Autoren, die auch neue Tonartensysteme anerkennen. Es gibt keinerlei Verbindungen zu früheren Begriffen wie mutare il modo (Zarlino) oder Mutatio toni und Alteratio modi (Bernhard). In England und Frankreich, wo sich auch die ersten Tonartkategorisierungen nach Moll und Dur finden, zeigen sich ab 1667 erste Beschreibungen von Modulation im neueren Sinne. Matthew Locke gab 1673 noch keine Regeln, aber Notenbeispiele für Übergänge von einer Tonart in eine andere. Gasparini 1708 und Heinichen 1711 geben Vorzeichenregeln. Erst mit Rameaus Traité von 1722 und seiner Anerkennung charakteristischer Dissonanzen für Dominante und Subdominante werden Regeln für Modulation auf eine neue Basis gestellt. / The first discussions of musical modulation or transition from one key to another are not to be found in composition primers but in thorough bass treatises. These new concepts generally appear with authors who also offer new key systems and have no relations to earlier terms of mutare il Modo (Zarlino) or Mutatio toni and Alteratio modi (Bernhard). It is in England and France, where we also find the first key categorizations according to major and minor, that – from 1667 – we find the first descriptions of modulation in the modern sense. Matthew Locke in 1673 did not give rules but musical examples for transitions from one key to another. Gasparini in 1708 and Heinichen in 1711 give rules of accidentals. Only with Rameau’s Traité of 1722 and his recognition of characteristical dissonances for dominant and subdominant that rules for modulation receive a new basis.

Precis The Thesis comprehensively describes and explains basic concepts of Steiner-Vallentyne Left-Libertarianism. The introductory part compares this school of Left-Libertarianism with other approaches and advocates the method of critical theory of society being used, which was formulated by Marek Hrubec, successing classical authors of critical theory. This method divides the analyzed phenomena into three phases - critique, explanation and normativity. The critical phase describes relation between the analyzed and reality, while defining the analyzed against it. Explanation clarifies positive elements, which are consequent from the critique of reality and ultimately, the normative phase formulates a specific conception of the elements' realization. In this Diploma Thesis the critical phase is represented by defition of Left-Libertarianism against dominant streams in contemporary political philosophy, with the accent on its differentiation from related approaches, constituting their conception on one's freedom - especially rawlsian liberalism and classical libertarianism. Explanatory phase is dedicated to basic concepts of Left-Libertarianism, their historical roots and theoretical principles on which they are constituted. Finally, the normative phase presents the concept of universal basic income, which...

<p>Genom att analysera domstolsmaterialet från rättegången mot fildelningssiten The Pirat Bay, i relation till en idéhistorisk diskussion om äganderätt, har uppsatsen funnit att den liberala tanketraditionen och dess juridiska institutioner står inför en betydelseglidning vad gället begreppsparet ”Egendom” och ”Stöld”. Det har visat sig att Lockes naturtillstånd, varseblivningen av ”det oändliga” på jorden, har skiftat plats; från ”naturen” ut till ”cyberspace”, vilket har resulterat i att fildelningstekniken skapat en ny matematik som omöjliggör tidigare egendomsdefinition.</p>
