Full textThe updating of the specificity of rousseau's thought seems to have to go through the examination of the sources from which he drew to fill out a throught always in pursuit of the origin. It is platonic source, in particular, which is analized here, so as to understand which process it underwent. The examination of the platonic source in rousseau's writing concerned mainly the aera that we, today, call culture. It is on the ways to anthropology, economics, politics and education that we followed rousseau for whom the dualism between nature and culture is always very deep. If rousseau's platonism is obvious, it is nonetheless its meaning that one should explain: rousseau heightens what platon used to isolate within the sphere of ideal, he indroduces time to the heart of the ontological thought. Therefore if in rousseau the original nature plays a role similar to the platonic world of ideas, it is yet a dualism altogether more irreductible and more definitive which is at work in his writing, and which pushes the pure original nature back into a past forever kept in a distance, and the pathos of which is the fate of the modern man, who has become unable to have a vision other than sensitive
Lafon, Stéphane. "Le rousseauisme, une théorie critique de la démocratie." Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019MON30033.
Full textStudies of the Genevan philosopher’s writings, and particularly his politic ones, leads us to question the possibility of seeing a critical theory about democracy in rousseauism. The major political principles set in Contrat social, refined in Lettres écrites de la montagne and applied to practical cases in Considérations pour le gouvernement de la Pologne and Projet de constitution pour la Corse, can provide the analysis standard sand judgment that allows to put into perspective our democratic modernity. Firstly, it is about showing that the principles of his political thinking, in Lettres écrites de la montagne, allow him to criticize the oligarchical drift of Geneva’s Republic (from a democracy in the XVst century to an oligarchy in the XVIIIst century) and government’s usurpation of sovereignty. Secondly, it is about highlighting his criticism of democracy’s forms (representative, direct, deliberative). Thirdly, it is about identifying critical comments that Rousseauism makes possible towards contemporary democracy (representative and liberal). Fourthly, it is about emphasizing his political theory as a meaning to raise awareness of the fact that democracy is restricted in the contemporary policy. As a critical theory of democracy, political Rousseauism clarifies what is a true democracy or not and, in the same time, it unveils a specific definition of a common power, the people’s effective sovereignty. This is a conception of democracy that his theory about government contributes to enlighten - preferring an aristocratic government leaning on an active political virtue and revealing that the form of this legal authority is not a criteria for democracy (republic). Different critical interventions of Rousseauism about democracy (“weak”: legitimating representative democracy, “strong”: considering a transformation of politic societies) highlight political principles and means that question the nature and operation of contemporary representative democracies (supremacy of the executive power, and hence dispossession of the people’s sovereignty). The political thinking of the Genevan philosopher invites to look for the means of a true expression of people’s sovereignty in the context of his definition of absolute participative democracy, in the way that it commands the effective participation of all citizens to legislative, condition for a retrieval of general will. A true democracy must ensure an ability of criticism and an actual control of executive power’s actions through the legislative power. Thus, political Rousseauism can appear as a prophylaxis of the democracy’s oligarchical drift, the update of political virtue hence act as the privileged expedient. From there we can assess the importance of thinking the means of achieving this virtue, the preventive means of a neutralisation of the oligarchical ferments of any political society that make impossible general will’s expression
Bothma, Mathilda Cecilia. "Postkoloniale perspektiewe in enkele romans van André P. Brink." Thesis, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/10500/1778.
Full textThis study investigates postcolonial aspects of the prose oeuvre of André P. Brink, with specific reference to his historiographical texts `n Oomblik in die wind, Houd-den-Bek, Die eerste lewe van Adamastor, Inteendeel, Sandkastele and Donkermaan. The texts can be described as links in a textual history of South Africa: a history corresponding to the official version, revisioning it in an imaginative way. The texts also criticize political (mal)practices, and the pre-colonial, colonial and postcolonial social contexts of the country are critically scrutinized. The texts offer suggestions for a new political dispensation. Since the seventies the Brink oeuvre has developed a multi-dimensional postcolonial approach. Aspects of post-colonialism, post-structuralism, magical realism and feminism as articulated in the texts, are analyzed and interpreted. Brink's investigation of problems concerning historiography, and the relation between history and fiction, comprised an important aspect of the research leading to this report.

Rademeyer, Gerrit Johan. "'n Ontledende vergelykende studie van geselekteerde kitaarstudies van Fernando Sor (1778-1839) uit die Yepes- en Segovia-uitgawes aan die hand van die faksimilee-uitgawe." Diss., 1999. http://hdl.handle.net/10500/15845.
Full textDie doel van die verhandeling is om vas te stel in hoe 'n mate vyftien geselekteerde studies van Fernando Sor uit die Yepes- en Segovia-uitgawes van mekaar verskil deur die studies te vergelyk. Albei uitgawes is ook met die faksimilee-uitgawe vergelyk om die korrektheid van die Yepes- en Segoviauitgawes te bepaal. Seide Yepes en Segovia het heelwat veranderings aangebring. Die kenmerkendste van hierdie verskille word nie net uitgewys nie, maar daar word ook na moontlike redes gekyk waarom sulke verskille in die twee uitgawes aangebring is. Die gevolgtrekking is dat Yepes en Segovia duidelike redes gehad het waarom hulle verskil het van die faksimilee-uitgawe. Yepes en Segovia het verskillende tegniese benaderings wat bydra tot die uniekheid van die twee uitgawes wat vir die kitaarspeler 'n rykdom van moontlikhede bied in die uitvoering van hierdie studies.
The aim of the dissertation is to determine the differences between the Yepes and Segovia editions by comparing selected studies. In order to determine the correctness of the Yepes and Segovia editions both are compared to the facsimile edition as well. Yepes and Segovia both introduced a number of changes. The most typical of these are indicated and possible reasons for their inclusion in the two editions are discussed. The conclusion is that Yepes as well as Segovia had very definite reasons for including alterations to the facsimile edition in their own editions. Both have in their own editions an individual and highly personal approach which leaves us with the unique gifts of the two editions, and the guitar student with a variety of possibilities in the performance of these studies.

Les romans de Voltaire bien que courts, sont pleins d’esprit et lui ont valu jusqu’à aujourd’hui la plus grande part de sa gloire dans la littérature. Les propres expériences de Voltaire avec les femmes qu’il a rencontrées dans sa vie sont dépeintes dans ses romans. Il a mis l’accent sur l’exploitation des femmes dans les années 1800 à travers ses romans. Il dépeint la sensualité des femmes qui a longtemps été un sujet qu’il aimait exprimer dans ses œuvres. Voltaire critique et ridiculise la sensualité des femmes. Pour comprendre l’’attitude paradoxale de Voltaire envers la femme dans ses œuvres, il est important de connaître les relations qu’il a partagées avec les femmes tout au long de sa vie. Son attitude sceptique est dépeinte dans beaucoup de ses romans.

Voltaire’s own experiences with women he met in his life are portrayed in his novels. He emphasized the exploitation of females in the 1800’s through his novels. He portrays the sensuality of women that has long been a subject that he liked to express in his works. Voltaire criticizes and ridicules the sensuality of women. To understand Voltaire’s paradoxical attitude towards woman in his works, it is important to know the relationships he shared with women throughout his life. His skeptical attitude is portrayed in many of his novels.
