Full textAbstract:
Lo scopo di questa ricerca è quello di tracciare un percorso di tipo storico-filologico che renda conto delle reazioni e delle ispirazioni che Kierkegaard abbia potuto trarre, al momento della produzione teoretica, dal proprio approccio alla letteratura mistico-ascetica cristiana. Ciò avviene seguendo i richiami testuali o le citazioni esplicite degli autori più rappresentativi negli scritti kierkegaardiani, attraverso i diversi canali di assimilazione dei concetti tipici di questa tradizione con cui il filosofo danese è stato in contatto durante la sua vita e che hanno rappresentato la sua formazione religiosa e filosofica. Lo standard metodologico perseguito in questo studio cerca di stabilire, ove sia possibile, un livello di “oggettività pragmatica” di queste influenze, che nel rapporto fra concetto e testi, delinei un sentiero di integrazione ermeneutica della filosofia kierkegaardiana sotto questo aspetto, mai battuto prima d’oggi con sufficiente profondità.
Le prime due parti della ricerca si occupano di fare emergere il problema del misticismo presente nell’idealismo tedesco e danese (come Franz Baader, Johann Erdmann e Hans Martensen) e dell’impostazione misticheggiante del pietismo luterano (in autori come lo Pseudo-Kempis dell’Imitatio Christi, nel precursore del pietismo Johann Arndt, e in Gerhard Tersteegen) alla cui religiosità Kierkegaard fu introdotto sin dalla più tenera età. Questi autori rappresentano a loro volta anche differenti interpretazioni del fenomeno mistico e nella ricerca si mostra come Kierkegaard abbia assorbito, criticato e originalmente rielaborato attraverso la lettura dei loro testi i contenuti delle rispettive dottrine e i rimandi ai classici della tradizione della mistica cristiana. Questi due canali sfociano dunque in prima battuta, insieme a tante altre suggestioni di tipo filosofico e letterario, nel fiume in piena della cosiddetta prima produzione kierkegaardiana, quella del grande ciclo pseudonimo e dei discorsi edificanti, che copre complessivamente il periodo della vita dell’autore che va dal 1841 al 1846. Essa contiene il rifiuto da parte di Kierkegaard del misticismo idealista, ancorato alla “prima immediatezza”, in favore della “seconda immediatezza della fede”, strettamente legata al concetto di “edificante”, esso stesso non scevro da influenze misticheggianti.
Nella terza e ultima parte si mostra come la cosiddetta “seconda produzione letteraria” (Anden forfatterskab) compresa fra il 1847 e il 1851, porti i frutti più maturi del rapporto più diretto e personale fra Kierkegaard e i mistici (come Taulero, Silesio e Fénelon), corrispondente ad una compiuta concezione antropologica dell’autore e tesa a dimostrare come la missione del “divenire cristiani” sia legata alla dialettica teo-esistenziale fra l’immagine di Dio nell’uomo (Guds billede) e l’adesione dell’uomo, cristiano dinanzi a Dio (For Gud), a Cristo come Modello (Forbillede).The purpose of this research is to outline an historical-philological analysis of Kierkegaard’s works in order to show through the texts all the possible suggestions and influences that the Danish philosopher could have received from the Christian mystical tradition and also from Christian ascetism. It extends further showing his negative reactions to philosophical mysticism as well. The methodological task of the dissertation is to establish, whereas it is possible, a level of certainty of proofs based on the concept of “pragmatic objectivity” given by the relation between texts read by Kierkegaard and text written by himself insofar as it delineates a conceptual path and a possible new hermeneutical reading of some points of Kierkegaard’s thought and about his anthropological reflexions based on the relationship between God and the “single individual”. First two sections of my dissertation show the connections and the different kinds of mysticism developed in German-Danish idealism (especially the one developed by Franz Baader, Johann Erdmann and Hans Martensen) and in German pietism (especially in Johann Arndt, Philipp J.Spener and Gerhard Tersteegen), that are the two of the most important channels of Kierkegaard’s philosophical and religious education. It also reveals how the Danish thinker reacted to all these interpretation of mystic and mysticism. This part of the research covers the period of Kierkegaard’s life from 1835 to 1846, that is the time of his studies, his dissertation and his “first authorship”, in which from one hand we can find his refusal to the idea of mysticism as he found it in most of German idealism (with some exceptions), from the other hand he revised pietistic mysticism through the question of self-consciousness on introducing his personal concept of “Upbuilding”. In the third and last section of the work it demonstrates how the most remarkable influences from the classic mystic tradition of Christianity are in what many call Kierkegaard’s “second authorship” (Anden forfatterskab, 1847-1851). In fact, we can see in the works of this period the presence of authors like Tauler, Silesius and Fénelon, joined together by Kierkegaard self in his peculiar conception of anthropology, based on the relation between the presence of God’s image (Guds billede) in the man and the assent made by man self “becoming Christian” before God (For Gud), to Christ as the only Model (Forbillede) for Christianity.

Full textAbstract:
La recherche est divisé en cinq chapitres. Dans la première, on développent certains éléments de la longue tradition de la philosophie sceptique pour les comparer, dans les chapitres suivants, avec les aspects sages de la pensée philosophique d'Abu-l-'Ala 'Al-Ma'arri, mettant en évidence leurs similitudes et leurs différences. A propos de la réalité des choses, il était sceptique au sujet de tout, et son opinion semble être cohérente avec celle des sceptiques anciens, mais, contrairement à eux, il croit en Dieu. Le doute méthodique du philosophe syrien ne se termine pas en soi, mais il est outil pour surmonter les aspects apparents des choses et ont tendance à la lumière de la vérité. D'une part, il fait de la raison une guide dans la recherche de la connaissance, de l'autre il a douté de ses certitudes, parce qu'elle était incapable d'atteindre vérités certes. Devant le surhumain, la raison cesse et seule la composante spirituelle peut avoir accès à ce qui est divin. Son élévation intellectuelle et spirituelle se cache derrière le voile de la condition humaine, et toute son œuvre semble être une aspiration continue de surmonter les obstacles de la raison qui l'entravent inévitablement au doute méthodique et, en même temps, une contemplation de la majesté de Dieu. Si l’ascétisme de Abu al-'Ala ommence par une spéculation philosophique sur la réalité du monde matériel, où l'annulation est en vertu de la reconnaissance de son inanité, puis son chemin ascétique peut être comparée à celle du mystique.La ricerca è articolata in cinque capitoli. Nel primo, vengono sviluppati alcuni elementi tratti dalla lunga tradizione della filosofia scettica per confrontarli, nei capitoli successivi, con gli aspetti sapienti del pensiero filosofico di Abū-l-‘Ala’ al-Ma‘arrī, evidenziandone le affinità e le diversità. Riguardo la realtà delle cose egli fu scettico su tutto, e la sua opinione sembra essere conforme a quella degli scettici antichi, ma, a differenza loro, egli crede in Dio. Il dubbio metodico del filosofo siriano non si esaurisce in se stesso, ma è strumento per oltrepassare gli aspetti apparenti delle cose e tendere alla luce della verità. Da una parte, egli ha preso la ragione come guida nella ricerca della conoscenza, dall’altra ha dubitato delle sue certezze, in quanto essa è incapace di raggiungere verità certe. Di fronte al sovrumano, la ragione si arresta e solo la componente spirituale può avere accesso a ciò che è divino. La sua elevazione intellettuale e spirituale si nasconde dietro il velo della condizione umana e tutta la sua opera sembra essere un continuo anelito a superare le barriere della ragione che lo incatenano inevitabilmente al dubbio metodico e, nel contempo, una contemplazione della Maestà di Dio. Se l’ascesi di Abū al-‘Ala’ prende avvio da una speculazione filosofica intorno alla realtà del mondo sensibile, là dove la rinuncia avviene in virtù del riconoscimento della sua inanità, successivamente il suo percorso ascetico potrebbe essere accostato a quello del mistico.

Full textAbstract:
2014 - 2015The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how within the Quaestiones ad Thalassium the monk Massimo the Confessor’s reasoning is structured in two different perspectives: practical philosophy and mystical ascension. The idea behind this type of research is determined by two needs: the first one, obvious and tangible, is based on the scarceness of thorough studies on this worthy philosopher and theologian, whom for a long time was only considered for his suggestive critical interpretation of the Holy Writ; the second one, however, a deeper one, aims to demonstrate how Massimo’s work is characterised by a complex and articulate philosophic framework, which the following research aims to illustrate. In order to obtain a complete study which would render the complexity characterising the monk, the first part of the research Massimo the Confessor- theologian and philosopher focuses on the monk’s personality and its various aspects, by revisiting under a historiographic light his life’s most significant events within their specific historic context (Ch. 1) and by reconstructing what could be considered an ideal corpus of his authentic works (Ch. 2). It seems easy to deduct that, when analysing Massimo’s work and in order to understand its time of writing and its contents, two complimentary approaches can be used: the chronological and the historic-doctrinal one. Each one of his works has been synoptically analysed together with a list of the different editions and translations into the modern tongue. Considering the scarceness of scientific studies which specifically focus on the Quaestiones ad Thalassium, the aim of this thesis is to provide the reader with a genesis of his work in order to trace the overall conceptual structure which sustains the whole study (Ch. 3). In the second part of the study, Quaestiones ad Thalassium an ethical and ascetic essay, the objective is to demonstrate how his work is actually a pedagogic essay, in which Massimo’s aim is to indicate to his interlocutor Talassio the road to mystical ascension. Within the ἀποκρίσεις, as a matter of fact, lie three fundamental elements: the ethical element, the contemplative one, and the theological one, which articulate themselves, in the dialectic πρᾶξις-θεωρία-θεολογία. The essay is therefore primarily aimed to the follower, whose fundamental aspiration needs to be the mystic experience. Through the analysis of the three dimensions (Ch. 1) mentioned earlier, we have illustrated how Massimo is able to progress from the ethic to the contemplative dimension in order to finally reach an understanding of divine reality in a theological context. As a matter of fact the Christian’s main objective is the ascension to perfection, which is made possible by an authentic and active relationship with God. In all of the Confessor’s works, and in the Quaestiones ad Thalassium in particular, the mystical ascension is indicated as feasible for man as he was created «in His own image and likeness» and determined in his own authentic essence by the logos-tropos relationship (Ch. 2). Within this perspective, the understanding of the actual ontological structure of the universe leads to realising how divinisation, the ultimate objective of ascension, is possible for man. Through divinisation, man can recognise himself in both Adam and Christ, and conceive himself as a mediator for a cosmic liturgy, which returns man to the Creator according to His original design. This dissertation thesis, therefore, questions Massimo the Confessor through his works, particularly the Quaestiones ad Thalassium, in order to demonstrate how the monk was a philosopher as well as a theologian, and how he focused his reflections on man’s authentic essence.

Full textAbstract:
nÃo hÃThe aim of this study is to demonstrate that as the doctor answers (responds) to the expectations of society in his task of promoting health, both he and those who are entrusted to him, develop a practice that I call medical asceticism. What the research tries to investigate is the pursuit of a healthy body as an ideal. The research was developed from the analysis of present speeches in platonic texts and its reflections in contemporary medical statements. The theoretical dialogue of the thesis emphasized the Nietzscheâs approach to the truth and moral. The arguments presented are divided in three books: 1- Medical Asceticism: a search of the truth as an ideal; 2- Medical scientific truth and moral and 3- Prognoses and prescriptions. Among the considerations pointed by the thesis, we checked the intersection between the practices of information and medical advisories and the search of a healthy life. The cult of the healthy life seems to be linked to the cult of the medical scientific truth and to the production of adjusted and submissive subjectivities. The medical ascetic ideal, observed in the production and consumption of truths appears like a demonstration of a game of forces, a will that Nietzsche called will to power.
O objetivo desse estudo à demonstrar que, na medida em que o mÃdico responde à expectativa da sociedade na sua tarefa de promover a saÃde, tanto ele como aqueles que lhe sÃo confiados desenvolvem uma prÃtica que denomino de ascetismo mÃdico. O que a pesquisa procura investigar à a busca do corpo saudÃvel como um ideal. A pesquisa se desenvolveu a partir da anÃlise de discursos presentes em textos platÃnicos e de suas ressonÃncias nos enunciados mÃdicos contemporÃneos. O diÃlogo teÃrico da tese privilegiou a abordagem nietzschiana sobre a verdade e a moral. Os argumentos apresentados estÃo divididos em trÃs livros: 1. Ascetismo mÃdico: a busca da verdade como ideal; 2. Verdade mÃdico-cientÃfica e moral e; 3. PrognÃsticos e prescriÃÃes. Entre as consideraÃÃes apontadas pela tese, verificamos o entrecruzamento entre as prÃticas de informaÃÃo e de aconselhamentos mÃdicos e a busca de uma vida saudÃvel. O culto à vida saudÃvel aparece ligado ao culto à verdade mÃdico-cientÃfica e à produÃÃo de subjetividades normalizadas e assujeitadas. O ideal ascÃtico mÃdico, verificado na produÃÃo e consumo de verdades, aparece como manifestaÃÃo de um jogo de forÃas, de uma vontade que Nietzsche denominou de Vontade de Poder.

This study proposes to bring in relation properties and themes of heroic mythology and the theatrical career, in the para-theatrical approach, of the Polish director Jerzy Grotowski. The first part of this work explains cultural, social and theoretical sources of Grotowski´s thought and practice, and demonstrates the relationship between his individual searches and his theatrical career. The second one puts in discussion modes to interpret myths in Grotowski´s work, its function, its significance and its influence on different kinds of artistic process: choice and treatment of texts, audience parts, actor´s work on character composition and actor ´s training. Theoretical references about mythical and symbolic questions are extracted from symbolic hermeneutic theory. In terms of conclusion, this dissertation puts in relief similarities between actions in the heroic mythology and Grotowski´s work, fundamentally, sacrificial acts as an way to consolidate an spiritual dimension
Este estudo se propõe articular as relações entre as características e os temas da mitologia heróica e o percurso teatral, além do teatro , do encenador polonês Jerzy Grotowski. Na primeira parte deste volume, são expostas as origens culturais, sociais e teóricas do pensamento e da prática de Grotowski, demonstrando, assim, a relação entre as suas buscas pessoais e o seu percurso teatral. Na segunda parte do trabalho, são discutidas as formas de tratamento do mito no trabalho de Grotowski, sua função, sua importância e a sua influência nos vários campos do processo artístico, como a escolha e o tratamento dos textos, o papel do público, o trabalho com o ator na construção da personagem e as técnicas de preparação de ator. O referencial teórico utilizado para a abordagem das questões míticas e simbólicas provém da hermenêutica simbólica. Em termos conclusivos, são destacadas as semelhanças entre as ações da mitologia heróica e o trabalho de Grotowski, no que diz respeito, principalmente, ao ato sacrificial como forma de consolidação da dimensão espiritual

Ascetism became known for the efforts made by metaphysician to reach their spiritual purpose. Nietzsche published a critique on ascetical ideals in the III Dissertation of the Genealogy of Morals because ascesis had taken transcendental life as a reference for all values beyond this life which is immanent. An ascetic metaphysical morality emphasized the dualism this life another life , which Nietzsche contested by stating it had philosophically originated with Plato as morality against nature . Thus, by returning to the cradle of Western culture, Nietzsche propounds a revision of ascesis based on transcendence, immutability, and truth from the standpoint of life, this life a constant flow, concerned exclusively with change, with outward aspects. In a nutshell, such ascesis refers to becoming a follower of Dionysus, to lead a dionysian life: a whirl of forces that continuously come together and apart, creating centres of will to power, giving rise to everything alive or, in other words, everything that appears and disappears into what is commonly called reality . Therefore, anyone willing to go further ahead of what is ordinary in the contemporary world could only demand of oneself the utmost self-overcoming, the utmost self-control in order to attain a quintessential spiritualization of instincts instead of the sterilization that transcendent values have long prescribed to the body as a rule for life. This hypothetical being is embodied in ascetic Nietzsche , here represented as a dionysian ascetic set against the ascetical ideal
O ascetismo ficou conhecido pelos esforços dos metafísicos para alcançar seus objetivos espirituais . Nietzsche dedicou, em especial, uma crítica aos ideais ascéticos na III Dissertação de A Genealogia da Moral, porque a ascese tomara a vida transcendente como referencial de todos os valores para além desta vida, que é imanente. Uma moral ascética metafísica reforçava o dualismo esta vida outra vida que Nietzsche combatia e que afirmava ter-se estabelecido filosoficamente com Platão, enquanto moral contranatureza . Assim, indo à origem da cultura ocidental, Nietzsche propõe que uma ascese com base na transcendência, no imutável, na verdade , seja revista a partir de uma perspectiva da vida, desta vida, fluir constante, com lugar somente para a mudança, para aparências . Trata-se, enfim, daquilo que, no filósofo seguidor de Dionísio , não é outra coisa senão uma vida dionisíaca, um baile de forças que se organizam e se desorganizam constantemente em centros de vontades de poder, originando tudo o que existe, ou, em outras palavras, tudo o que aparece e tudo o que desaparece naquilo que, normalmente , é denominado realidade. Portanto, alguém que deseja estar além do que seja o comum na contemporaneidade só poderia exigir de si o máximo de auto-superação, de um domínio de si mesmo, para se realizar em uma espiritualização dos instintos no lugar da castração que os valores transcendentes têm proposto para o corpo como vida. Este alguém se configura em Nietzsche asceta que, aqui, é apresentado como asceta dionisíaco contra o ideal ascético

Full textAbstract:
The thesis sets out to examine the character of British politician Margaret Thatcher, following the path of her life and her career since her years at the University of Oxford, where she studied chemistry, to her election as the leader of the Conservative Party in 1975. The investigation has been conducted by examining a number of sources and documents: minutes of meetings, electoral speeches and manifestos, accounts of informal exchanges, transcripts of parliamentary debates, articles and editorials published in both local and national newspapers. The aim of the research, on the one hand, is that of filling a gap in the Italian scholarly literature on the subject, while, on the other hand, bringing to light a number of underestimated factors, which have in time contributed to turning the “Grantham girl” into a world leader. The investigation covers three decades during which Thatcher has evolved from “the grocer’s daughter” into “the iron lady”. The originality of the research consists in its attempt to show to what extent the main traits of what will get to be known as Thatcherism started to emerge well before Thatcher’s election to the role of prime minister and, therefore, how the political climax of her story had already reached its peak in 1975. By examining the crucial events which marked Thatcher personal and political history the thesis aims at providing a picture of British society during the period under scrutiny as well as at unveiling a degree of complexity, in both Thatcher and British society, which has often been under investigated.

Full textAbstract:
The general claim of the thesis is that the exercise and development of skills and capacities related to sensory perception can contribute positively to the process commonly referred to as spiritual formation. The dynamics of aesthesis and ascesis can be perceived as existing in a symbiotic relationship, encouraging and reinforcing the potentials of the other toward the development of a vibrant, discerning Christian spirituality. The arts can help mediate this relationship, and in doing so can be said to catalyze these dynamics. In order to maximize the catalytic potentials of the arts for lay formation, a definition of art is employed that identifies art as the result of a combination of craft, content and context. Accent is placed on the communicability and cognitive cogency of art in this analysis. In order to argue for the moral and spiritual efficacy of the arts, resources from aesthetics, ethics and human development theory as appropriated within practical theology are explored. A variant on virtue ethics that emphasizes the morally-formative potential of narrative is highlighted as the correlative to the claim that works of art can be seen as conveyers through which an ‘inhabitable' sense of worldview, the truth-claims of which are insinuated effectively or ineffectively according to the relative strength of the artistic utterance. It is through the inhabitation or indwelling of the story so conveyed that art exerts its spiritually formative influence.

¿Por qué no dedico un estudio exclusivamente a uno de ellos? La distinción entre la filosofía moral del estoicismo tardío y la estoa antigua y media será para algunos una tarea en sí misma inútil y frívola. Pero esta distinción es importante. En cambio, aunque bien pueda hacerse, no es conveniente separar a dos filósofos que por “naturaleza” están unidos.

Previous issue date: 2014-06-03In this research, we studied alternative communities that promote self-care practices, as well as environmental and community care.We problematized if there are ascetical practices in these communities - understanding asceticism from Ortega (2008) and Foucault (2006, 2009, 1998), which would be a transition from one type of subjectivity to another one to be achieved through exercises on itself, in other words, the ascetic oscillates between a refused identity to another to be drawn by an art that focuses itlself.This research was conducted through the analysis of files, observations of daily practices and interviews with open questions in order to achieve reflections and thoughts of the residents of alternative communities.For our study, we chose the Alternative Community of Campina, located in the Capon Valley/Bahia; Sabiaguaba community, located in Fortaleza-CE; and the National Meeting of Alternative Communities (ENCA). The research points to ways of living that create new subjectivities, in which the subject feels responsible for taking care of themselves, others and the environment

Problematizamos se nessas comunidades existe uma ascese - entendendo o ascetismo a partir de Ortega (2008) e Foucault (2006, 2009, 1998), o qual seria uma passagem de um tipo de subjetividade para outra a ser atingida, mediante exerc?cios sobre si, ou seja, o asceta pendula entre uma identidade recusada para outra a ser aspirada que incide mediante uma arte de si. Essa pesquisa foi realizada por meio da an?lise de arquivos, observa??es das pr?ticas cotidianas e entrevistas com quest?es abertas, a fim de se obter reflex?es e pensamentos dos moradores das comunidades alternativas.

Previous issue date: 2009This work examines the figure of Beatriz as a representation of Knowledge, since she focus the main subjects discussed by Dante that comes from philosophy, poetry, theology and from the Italian language. Beatriz receives the task of being the poet’s main guide on his journey to search the knowledge to reach God. For this reason she represents the stage of knowledge of man, intermediate between the matter and spirituality, structures in which Dante fixes himself to show the reality. This appears on the form of the three levels on the journeys carried out by the poet, that here are distinct to a better clarification, but in life they cross each other so that one serves as a base to state the other. For that, was accomplished a research that compares the researchers of Dante about the Commedia and examining the figure of Beatriz by the light of traditional symbols. At last, this work observes the relation between the knowledge represented by her and the reality of those who search it, examining with it the situation of the contemporary world on the conception of Dante’s Knowledge.
Este trabalho examina a figura de Beatriz como representação do Conhecimento, já que ela centra as questões principais discutidas por Dante que surgem da Filosofia, da poesia, da Teologia e da própria língua italiana. Beatriz recebe a tarefa de ser guia principal do poeta em sua jornada em busca do saber para chegar até Deus. Por isso ela representa o estado cognitivo do homem, intermediário entre a matéria e a espiritualidade, estruturas que Dante se alicerça para mostrar a realidade. Isso aparece na forma dos três níveis na jornada empreendida pelo poeta, que aqui são distintos para um melhor esclarecimento, mas que na vida se cruzam e se intercalam sendo que um serve como base para a afirmação do outro. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa comparativa entre os estudiosos de Dante sobre a Commedia e examinado a figura de Beatriz à luz dos símbolos tradicionais. Por fim, buscou-se observar a relação entre o saber representado por ela e a realidade daqueles que o buscam, examinando com isso a situação do mundo contemporâneo dentro da concepção de Conhecimento de Dante.

Il mio studio affronta il tema della potenza della Serenissima tra il X e il XVIII secolo, circa.
Si tratta di un elaborato diviso in quattro capitoli, in cui, partendo da una visione generale della nascita della città, mi concentro poi sulla questione più specifica veneziana.
Nel primo capitolo viene affrontata la nascita della civiltà in generale e la situazione italiana medievale sociale, politica, economia.
Nel secondo capitolo analizzo la situazione veneziana, in cui viene applicato lo stesso sistema di analisi utilizzato nel primo capitolo: la nascita della città, il sistema finanziario e mercantile, la costituzione, il sistema diplomatico, il rapporto con l’esterno. Questo aiuterà a rispondere alla seguente domanda: per quale motivo Venezia seppe distinguersi rispetto a tante altre città stato? Perché proprio Venezia?
Passando al terzo capitolo, viene sviluppato il tema della decadenza: perché la città decadde?
Concludendo con un breve quarto ed ultimo capitolo, verrà affrontato il concetto di resilienza della città, elencando gli elementi cardine sui quali la città potette e potrà basarsi per esprimere la propria potenza mondiale e come questi elementi abbiano subito un cambiamento di importanza in base alle varie epoche.

Perée, Isabelle. "Césaire d'Arles et l'Église de Provence au VIe siècle : ascèse pour les moines, ascèse pour tous ?" Thesis, Strasbourg, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013STRAK011.
Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche a pour objet la notion d'ascèse et son application chez Césaire d'Arles, moine-évêque du VIe siècle. Cette prescription de la rigueur dans le quotidien du peuple semble représenter pour l'évêque la condition sine qua non d'un retour à la foi des fidèles auxquels il s'adresse. C'est par la rigueur que Césaire souhaite détourner les plus simples de tout danger véhiculé par les moeurs païennes mais il n'oublie cependant pas la charité. Sa notion de gouvernance est démocratique; il lutte contre les abus et se montre protecteur et bienveillant envers les pauvres. La thèse étudie ces questions à partir des Sermons au peuple mais également des Sermons aux moines et des Oeuvres monastiques afin de déceler si le vocabulaire employé est identique et si pour Césaire, la référence au bon chrétien est bien le moine. On mettra ainsi en évidence le caractère novateur de l'évêque d'Arles pour la vie de l'Eglise car seul, selon lui, un mode de vie sobre permettra à chacun de sauver son âme mais également de se conformer au message du christThe aim of this research is the notion of asceticism and its application with Caesarius of Arles, monk-bishop of the VIth century. For him, this requirement for hardship in the daily life of the people appears to represent a prerequisite for the return to faith among the congregation he addresses. It is through hardship that Caesarius wishes to divert the most ordinary people from any danger conveyed by pagan behaviour, but he does, however, not forget charity. His notion of governance is democratic; he fights abuse and is protective and kind towards the poor. The thesis examines these questions using Sermons to people but also Sermons to monks and Monastic works in order to discover whether the vocabulary used is identical and if for Caesarius, the reference to the good Christian is the monk indeed. This will highlight the bishop of Arles’ innovating character for Church life as, according to him, only a modest lifestyle will enable everyone to save one’s soul but also comply with the message of Christ

Gott, Henry Michael. "Ascetic modernism in Eliot and Flaubert." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2010. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/3906/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis describes Eliot and Flaubert’s shared fascination for the figure of the ascetic saint, with special attention given to The Waste Land and La Tentation de saint Antoine. I examine how the structure, style and themes of these two works in particular show the authors updating into a modernist context the model of the trial they inherit from saintly literature. I explore in detail the varied connotations that the saint attracts, structuring my analysis on the basis of dialectical tensions which allow me to trace the relation of the saint’s experience to the theory and praxis of the two authors: the contrasting forms of discourse within each text, scientific and religious thought as distinct but potentially complicit approaches to knowledge, or the contrapuntal relationship of desert and city, allow me to illustrate the texts’ enactment of a central paradox of the ascetic’s via negativa – where the comprehensive vantage point to which they aspire is only achieved through loss. I give extensive attention to the techniques and structure of each work, in which I elaborate the operative significance of the saint’s emblematic status. My analysis culminates in a reading of the Tentation and The Waste Land that stresses their relation to an ascetic paradigm, which not only inheres through the recurrence of various motifs in the work of Eliot and Flaubert but is characteristic of modernism more generally. On the one hand expanding on undeveloped hints in Eliot criticism, regarding both the influence of Flaubert and The Waste Land’s relation to the saint’s trial, whilst on the other allowing Flaubert’s Tentation to benefit from the greater critical scrutiny given to its more canonical counterpart, the thesis enhances our understanding of both the individual authors and the broader intellectual climate to which they belong.

Full textAbstract:
The path of steepest ascent can used to optimize a response in an experiment, but problems can occur with multiple responses. Past approaches to this issue such as Del Castillo’s overlap of confidence cones and Mee and Xiao’s Pareto Optimality, have not considered the correlations of the responses or parameter uncertainty. We propose a new method using the Bayesian reliability to calculate this direction. We utilize this method with four examples: a 2 factor, 2-response experiment where the paths of steepest ascent are similar, ensuring our results match Del Castillo’s and Mee and Xiao’s; a 2 factor, 2-response experiment with disparate paths of steepest ascent illustrating the importance of the Bayesian reliability; two simulation examples, showing parameter uncertainty is considered; and a 5 factor, 2-response experiment proving this method is not dimensional limited. With a Bayesian reliable point, a direction in multivariate steepest ascent can be found.

Full textAbstract:
Pierre-Albert Jourdan (1924-1981), après dix ans d’une recherche plus strictement poétique, a essayé à partir de 1970, dans des fragments surtout, d’utiliser l’écriture pour se transformer intérieurement, et se rendre capable de rencontrer pleinement le réel. Il a alors multiplié les procédés pour agir sur soi, sur sa volonté, sa sensibilité, son intellect ou son affectivité. Des sentences, des injonctions à soi-même, lui servaient à se dissocier de comportements, de pensées, grâce à la vivacité ou à la violence de l’expression, et à l’ironie. Dans des passages d’aspect plus « poétique », le travail sur la langue creusait un état de dépossession et d’accueil face au monde, et à l’invisible – ou permettait de se mettre à l’école de la nature pour intérioriser ses suggestions éthiques. Jourdan usait aussi de l’écriture, à la façon du koan zen, pour se défaire des représentations mentales, faire vaciller l’intellect, et se précipiter dans l’épreuve des « choses telles qu’elles sont ». Ou, enfin, il s’appuyait sur elle pour se déprendre, par l’humour et le retrait, des émotions liées à l’échec et à la mort, et parvenir à l’accueil amoureux même de sa propre perte. Une tentative qui, même s’il a souvent répété son insuffisance, semble avoir permis la lumière, la sérénité de plus en plus sensibles dans ses derniers écrits, leur beauté, et leur utilité profonde pour le lecteur qui accepte de s’ouvrir à une expérience d’êtrePierre-Albert Jourdan (1924-1981), after ten years of a more strictly poetic quest, decided and tried, from 1970 to his death, to use writing, especially in fragments, as a way of transforming himself in order to wholly encounter reality. He resorted then to many methods to act on himself, his will, his sensibility, his intellect, or his affectivity. Aphorisms and self-injonctions helped him, with acuteness or even violence, and the use of irony, to get rid of some behaviours or thoughts. In more poetic-like texts, the working on language was intended to deepen a interior state of receptivity toward the natural world, the invisible that seems to underlie it, and the ethic suggestions that it offered. Jourdan tried also to direct writing against the intellect, to shake it, as the zen koan does, and make himself lose its representations and experiment « things as they are ». Or he relied on humor, on a withdrawing expression, to detach himself from emotions related to failure and death, and lovingly accept even his own ruin. An attempt that, even if he often repeated its insufficiency, seems to have permitted the light, the serenity, that can be felt more and more in his last writings, their beauty, and their deep utility for the reader who accepts to open himself to an experience of being

From the study of narratives of Brazilian writer João Guimarães Rosa, we attempted to identify, catalog and describe some elements that they turn on their literary discourse. Readings were taken on a considerable part of the author's work, which originated assertions, assumptions and relationships observed in this study. By analyzing rosianos statements, prioritized five highlight relevant essential discursive themes in his speech, which were divided and organized into five themes: "love, night, religion, people and nature." The authors chosen as analytical support to address the love were the Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle, thinkers Erich Fromm, Benedito Nunes, Arthur Schopenhauer, André Comte- Sponville Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung, the sociologist Zygmunt Bauman and semiotician Algirdas Greimas. The authors required as analytical support to treat religiosity were the philosopher St. Augustine, the Essayist Elisa Guimarães and two experts in iconography, Jacopo Varazze and Nilza Botelho Megale. The authors adopted as analytical support for crushing the night were the folklorist Luís da Câmara Cascudo, the demonologist Eliphas Lévi and literary critic Massaud Moisés. The authors listed as analytical support to subsidize the axis on the speech of the people were the socio- linguist Dino Preti, sociologist Roger Bastide, the philosopher Jean - Jacques Rousseau, the thinker Antonio Candido, the anthropologist Claude Lévi - Strauss and again the folklorist Luís da Câmara Cascudo. The authors used as analytical support to embrace nature were Heraclitus of Ephesus and Empedocles of Agrigento philosophers and thinkers Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela, Fritjof Capra and Gaston Bachelard.
A partir do estudo de narrativas do escritor brasileiro João Guimarães Rosa, buscou-se identificar, catalogar e descrever alguns elementos que recorressem em seu discurso literário. Foram realizadas leituras acerca de parte considerável da obra do autor, das quais se originaram as asserções, deduções e relações verificadas neste trabalho. Ao analisar os enunciados rosianos, priorizou-se evidenciar cinco temas discursivos essenciais pertinentes em seu discurso, os quais foram divididos e organizados em cinco eixos temáticos: amor, noite, religiosidade, povo e natureza . Os autores escolhidos como suporte analítico para abordar o amor foram os filósofos gregos Platão e Aristóteles, os pensadores Erich Fromm, Benedito Nunes, Arthur Schopenhauer, André Comte-Sponville Sigmund Freud e Carl Gustav Jung, o sociólogo Zygmunt Bauman e o semioticista Algirdas Greimas. Os autores requeridos como suporte analítico para tratar a religiosidade foram o filósofo Santo Agostinho, a ensaísta Elisa Guimarães e dois especialistas em iconografia, Jacopo de Varazze e Nilza Botelho Megale. Os autores adotados como suporte analítico para esmiuçar a noite foram o folclorista Luís da Câmara Cascudo, o demonologista Eliphas Lévi e o crítico literário Massaud Moisés. Os autores elencados como suporte analítico para subsidiar o eixo sobre o discurso do povo foram o sócio-linguista Dino Preti, o sociólogo Roger Bastide, o filósofo Jean-Jacques Rousseau, o pensador Antonio Candido, o antropólogo Claude Lévi-Strauss e, novamente, o folclorista Luís da Câmara Cascudo. Os autores utilizados como suporte analítico para abarcar a natureza foram os filósofos Heráclito de Éfeso e Empédocles de Agrigento e os pensadores Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela, Fritjof Capra e Gaston Bachelard.

Gottfried, Shelly. "The ascent of oligarchy : the case of Israel." Thesis, City University London, 2015. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/14708/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to explore the development of an oligarchy in the Israeli political economy. In that, it both sheds light on the state-business relationship in the Israeli political economy, and refines the understanding of oligarchy in general. In order to achieve this two-folded objective, I rec-conceptualise oligarchy, identify its sources, characterise its structure, and analyse the main mechanisms through which it establishes its power in a national political economy, specifically - in Israel. The literature so far scarcely addresses the ways in which such cluster of wealth and power emerges and develops in liberal and developed market economies. This thesis aims to fill this gap, by examining the origins of the oligarchy rise, the key actors involved in the process of 'oligarchisation', and the modalities through which oligarchs are distinguished from other wealthy actors. In particular, this work illuminates the critical role of the state in the formation and modus operandiof the oligarchy, which, in return, has substantial influence on the decision-making process and the political economy as a whole. The term 'oligarchy' in this thesis refers to a set of institutional, political, and social linkages and dynamics, whose interests are to some extent converged and are increasingly counterpoised to the interests of the 'traditional' economy. My analysis develops on the basis of a critical engagement with theories examining concentration of wealth and power in national political economies, together with data collected from various governemental and non-governmental sources and fieldwork, examining the facets of this concentration in Israel. My study reveals that the corpus of ideas and assessments of oligarchy points to a cohesive power structure, which, in the Israeli case, can be identified as an informal political institution.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the work Catimbó, written by Ascenso Ferreira (1895-1965), seeing it, especially as a poetic expression of the northeast popular culture, observing the affinities that the poetic diction of this pernambucano author remained with the modernists precepts of the 1922 Modern Art Week. The first chapter describes the cultural environment in Recife, noticing some socio-economic aspects that marked the region; examines the way the paulista modernism arrives to Pernambuco and, simultaneously, the intensification of regionalist´s ideas. Still in this first chapter, we begin the reading of poems ("Desespero", "A casa-grande de Megaípe", "Noturno", "O Samba", "História pátria", "Catimbó", "Minha terra", "Dor" and "Sertão") by Ascenso Ferreira, showing how the Pernambucana culture is poetized by the author of Catimbó. In the second chapter we considered Ascenso Ferreira as a regionalist-modernist poet, showing how the pernambucano has joined the stylistic innovation of modernism to the recovery of the traditions of his land, through the poems "Os engenhos da minha terra", "Tradição", "Vamos embora, Maria", "Quadrilha de Caetano Norato", "A pega do boi", "A rua do rio", "Graf Zeppelin", "O meu poema de São Francisco" and "Oropa, França e Bahia". In the third chapter, we point to Catimbó as a book thematically linked especially to popular culture, presenting the reading of poems of this book that deal poetically with the nordestinidade ascensiana through verses which reveal the cultural components of his land and its people, as "A cavalhada", "Carnaval do Recife", "Meu carnaval", "Senhor São João", "Natal", "Mês de Maio", "Reisado", "Bumba-meu-boi" and "Maracatu".Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas
Este estudo examina a obra Catimbó, de Ascenso Ferreira (1895-1965), vendo-a, sobretudo, como uma expressão poética da cultura popular nordestina, observando as afinidades que a dicção poética do autor pernambucano manteve com os preceitos modernistas da Semana de 22. O primeiro capítulo descreve o ambiente cultural Recifense, verificando alguns aspectos socioeconômicos que marcaram a região; examina o modo como o Modernismo paulista chega a Pernambuco e, simultaneamente, a intensificação das ideias regionalistas. Ainda neste primeiro capítulo, iniciamos a leitura de poemas (“Desespero”, “A casa-grande de Megaípe”, “Noturno”, “O samba”, “História pátria”, “Catimbó”, “Minha terra”, “Dor” e “Sertão”) de Ascenso Ferreira, mostrando como a cultura pernambucana é poetizada pelo autor de Catimbó. No segundo capítulo consideramos Ascenso Ferreira como um poeta regionalista-modernista, mostrando como o pernambucano uniu a inovação estilística do modernismo à valorização das tradições de sua terra, através dos poemas “Os engenhos de minha terra”, “Tradição”, “Vamos embora, Maria”, “Quadrilha de Caetano Norato”, “A pega do boi”, “A rua do rio”, “Graf Zeppelin”, “O meu poema de São Francisco” e “Oropa, França e Bahia”. No terceiro capítulo, apontamos para Catimbó como o livro de temática ligada especialmente à cultura popular, apresentando a leitura de poemas deste livro que tratam poeticamente a nordestinidade ascensiana através de versos que revelam os componentes culturais de sua terra e do seu povo, como “A cavalhada”, “Carnaval do Recife”, “Meu carnaval”, “Senhor São João”, “Natal”, “Mês de maio”, “Reisado”, “Bumba-meu-boi” e “Maracatu”.

Full textAbstract:
Mary Barkas is largely unknown. A turn-of-the-twentieth century child prodigy from Christchurch, New Zealand, she was deeply frustrated by parochial attitudes in a remote colony which made little allowance for intelligent women doing tertiary studies. Determined to pursue medical studies, Barkas went to London and qualified as a doctor in 1919. She excelled in psychiatry training but came up against the prejudice against employing women doctors. In the face of opposition, she became the first female doctor in the 600-year history of the Bethlem Hospital. She decided to be a psychoanalyst, spending three months in a training analysis with Otto Rank in Vienna in 1922. In 1924 Barkas was one of the four medical officers appointed at the opening of the Maudsley Hospital, a career high point. By 1927 she was disillusioned about getting a permanent position. She took a position as medical superintendent of The Lawns, a private psychiatric hospital in Lincoln, a disastrous decision. By 1932, the hospital was on the edge of bankruptcy, she was upset by the suicide of a patient and depressed about her prospects. She returned to New Zealand, living in remote Tapu and never practised again. Barkas died in isolation in 1957. Barkas’s career provides information on British psychiatry and psychoanalysis in the twenties. Her letters give a detailed description of how the Maudsley Hospital was set up, the treatment programs and the leading personalities. Her analysis with Otto Rank In Vienna provides details of her treatment, as well as mixing with the analytic luminaries such as Freud. Her return to New Zealand is something of a mystery; without the correspondence with Fred to refer to, her state of mind and activities remain unclear and it can only be speculated what had, in fact, actually happened. The life and career of Mary Barkas has been neglected for too long.

Full textAbstract:
The teachings of St. Feofan (1815-1894), together with his celebrated Russian translation of the Philokalia, played a major role in the spiritual revival of nineteenth century Russia, earning him the reputation of one of the greatest Russian theoreticians of Orthodox mysticism. Yet Feofan also provoked fierce criticism of such eminent Russian thinkers as Nicolas Berdyaev. This study focuses on one of the most significant elements of Feofan's legacy: the notion of legitimacy of spiritual diversity. This idea permeates Feofan's discussions of the striking dissimilarities demonstrated by persons engaged in ascetic and spiritual pursuits. It is highlighted by the fact that Feofan derives his positive attitude to diversity from within the tradition generally perceived as intolerant of dissent and non-conformity. Based within a wider context of Orthodox mystical tradition, this study examines Feofan's major writings, his work with the texts of the Philokalia, and his public and private correspondence. Attention is given to such pivotal concepts as his notions of the spirit and the heart; intimate communion with God; and the cardinal importance of spiritual self-consciousness. The study reveals Feofan's indebtedness to Byzantine ascetic spirituality, as well as his unusual openness to Western thought - reflected in his innovative synthesis of patristic asceticism and German romantic psychology. This study also addresses the ambivalence of Feofan's inner conflicts: namely, between his passionate belief in spiritual self-determination and his authoritarian teaching on 'silent submissiveness'; and between his defence of the legitimacy of spiritual diversity within the realm of ascetic experience and his unwillingness to extend that same principle beyond the limits of his own tradition. The thesis is not only the first critical account in English of Feofan's spiritual teaching, but is also an ecumenical exercise in which attitudes toward religious diversity within the Russian monastic tradition are examined by a Russian evangelical.

Full textAbstract:
Because ecstasy and visions often result from ascetic practice, they have been used to gain access to the divine. An alternative view, backed by scientific evidence, is that these are natural phenomena. The body reacts to pain by producing endorphins, which relieve pain, and to sensory deprivation by creating its own sensory stimuli. From this perspective, ascetic practice can be viewed as a form of masochistic form of auto-eroticism. It is no accident that mystics often describe their experiences in sexual terms. The body is made to experience pleasure. Pain is a signal that something is wrong. Rather than punish the body for its ability to feel pleasure through the senses, positive ways of experiencing pleasure should be encouraged; for it is in engaging with the physical world that we develop our moral sense. This is backed by scientific evidence as well.

This thesis presents the derivation, analysis, and implementation of a novel class of decentralized mutual information-based gradient-ascent controllers that continuously move robots equipped with sensors to better observe their environment. We begin with the fundamental problem of deploying a single ground robot equipped with a range sensor and tasked to build an occupancy grid map. The desired explorative behaviors of the robot for occupancy grid mapping highlight the correlation between the information content and the spatial realization of the robot's range measurements. We prove that any occupancy grid controller tasked to maximize a mutual information reward function is eventually attracted to unexplored space, i.e., areas of highest uncertainty. We show that mutual information encodes geometric relationships that are fundamental to robot control and yields geometrically relevant reward surfaces on which robots can navigate. Taking inspiration from geometric-based approaches to distributed robot coordination, we show that many multi-robot inference tasks can be cast in terms of an optimization problem. This optimization problem defines the task of minimizing the conditional entropy associated with the robots' inferred beliefs of the environment, which is equivalent to maximizing the mutual information between the environment state and the robots' next joint observation. Given simple robot dynamics and few probabilistic assumptions, none of which involve Gaussianity, we derive a gradientascent solution approach to these optimization problems that is convergent between sensor observations and locally optimal. More formally, we invoke LaSalle's Invariance Principle to prove that, given enough time between consecutive joint observations, robots following the gradient of mutual information will converge to goal positions that locally maximize the expected information gain resulting from the next observation. We show that the algorithmic implementation of the generalized gradient-ascent controller is not readily distributed among multiple robots, and thus sample-based methods are introduced to distributively approximate the likelihoods of the robots' joint observations. Not only are the involved non-parametric representations compatible with any type of Bayesian filter, but the computational complexities of the resulting decentralized controllers are independent with respect to the number of robots. Concerning the distributed approximations, we give two example consensus-based algorithms that run on an undirected network graph. The first consensus-based algorithm approximates discrete measurement probabilities, while the second approximates continuous likelihood distributions. We show that these anytime approximations provably converge to the correct values on a static and connected network graph without knowledge of the number of robots in the network or the corresponding graph's topology. Lastly, we incorporate the resulting consensus-based algorithms into both a hardware system and a simulation environment to allow for decentralized controller evaluation under non-ideal network settings. For the hardware experiments, the task is to infer the state of a bounded, planar environment by deploying five quadrotor flying robots with simulated sensors in both indoor and outdoor settings. For the numerical simulations, Monte Carlo-based analyses are performed for 100 robots, where each robot is simulated on an independent computer node within a computer cluster system. Simulations are also performed for 1000 robots using a single workstation computer equipped with a multicore GPU-enabled graphics card. The results from both the hardware experiments and numerical simulations validate our theoretical and computational claims throughout the thesis.

A pitch-control predictor-corrector ascent guidance algorithm has been developed and evaluated for a rocket-based upper stage of a two-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle. Detailed descriptions of the predictor-corrector algorithm and a neural network loop modification are given. The mission requirement is insertion into a stable 50 x 100 nmi orbit at 375,000 ft altitude, coasting toward apogee at a positive inertial flight path angle. Three degree-of-freedom trajectory analysis is performed using the Program to Optimize Simulated Trajectories (POST2). Results of Monte Carlo simulations including uncertainties in atmosphere, thrust, aerodynamics and initial state are presented and compared to trajectories optimized for maximum injected weight.Master of Science
