Full textA continuación se efectúa una mirada sintética hacia el conjunto de las fuentes filosóficas, la ual lleva a la conclusión de que prevalecen las vertientes idealistas por encima de las materialistas y objetivistas. Ello, sin embargo, no significa que a Borges se puede llamar "idealista. El idealismo que sin duda ejerce una poderosa atracción estética sobre Borges, sin embargo, no es para él más que una etapa mental en su itinerario especulativo, que le sirve para superar el materialismo pero que, posteriormente, también se ve superada por un creciente nihilismo y escepticismo.
One of the major objectives of this thesis is the investigation of a variety of the philosophical and mystical sources detectable in Borges (above all : Heraclitus, Plato, Plotinus, Berkeley, Hume, Schopenhauer and, through the latter, the Hinduism and the Buddhism, Nietsche, the Kabbalah and others) parallel to the observation and description of the way the writer carries out his extraordinary literary transformation and dramatization of the concepts deriving from these philosophical systems.
Consequently, the attention is focused on the totality of the metaphysical sources, which guides to the conclusion that the idealistic currents predominate clearly over the materialistic and the objectivist ones. However, this does not mean that it is legitimate to call Borges an idealist. The idealism undoubtedly does exercise a powerful aesthetic attraction on the writer, yet, it is but a "mental stage" in his speculative itinerary, thanks to which he overcomes the materialism but which, on his own turn, is overcome by nihilism and skeptisism being at a constant growth throughout Borges' literary career.

Full textThe study begins by noting the widespread expectation, following the 1932 election of Franklin D. Roosevelt, that the onset of a new American Administration under the leadership of Roosevelt and Hull would lead to closer transatlantic ties. It then goes on to explore Eden and Hull's efforts to establish a new economic and security relationship between the two powers through the workings of the World Economic Conference, the Geneva Disarmament Talks, the London Naval Conference, and the negotiation of an Anglo-American trade agreement. It then traces Eden and Hull's reaction to the outbreak of hostilities in Abyssinia, Spain and China, and notes how the increasing likelihood of a world war led to an intensification of their efforts to find a vehicle of cooperation.
The work then closes by examining the circumstances which led to Eden's resignation, and the successful negotiation of the Anglo-American Trade Agreement. In the latter case, however, it is argued that the trade agreement had little effect on the behavior of the fascist states, and hence proved ineffective as a means to stop the drift towards war. The study then concludes by reiterating the argument that both men shared in the belief that it was in their respective country's best interests to pursue closer transatlantic ties. It also concludes that they each carried certain idealistic notions about the benefits which might accrue from such a pursuit, as each felt that even the mere appearance of Anglo-American solidarity would give serious pause to the dictators and thus further advance the cause of peace.

Full textThe aim of this essay is to clarify if there is an ideological difference within the political area of foreign policy of the United States. The question that will be answered is: Is the American foreign policy coloured by different ideologies, or has that area of politics become an arena without ideology differences?
In order to answer the question, the method used in this essay is idea analysis using ideal types as analytical instrument. The texts that are being analysed are the State of the Union Addresses of four American presidents. The presidents are Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton and each president give this speech once a year. The presidents are chosen due to the fact that their presidencies follow each other and are as recently in time as possible.
After analysing all of the speeches and considering the surrounding circumstances, like the Cold War, I came to the conclusion that there is no ideological difference within foreign policy of the United States of America. Some areas of foreign policy, however, show more or less connotations to either idealism or realism. Even tough ideology plays a part; there is no difference between the liberal party and the conservative party.
Doughty, James. "Pragmatism and Christian Realism in the Political Thought of Reinhold Niebuhr : An Analysis and Evolution of American Liberalism." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017BOR30026/document.
Full textThis work aims to analyze the political thought of the American theologian and political scientist Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971). More specifically, it will analyze the way in which Pragmatism was able to influence Niebuhr’s writings. Critical towards the liberal idealism of John Dewey (1859-1952), Niebuhr’s Christian realism was a counter against the optimism that political Pragmatism demonstrated in regards to the nature of man. Despite these criticisms, Niebuhr was unable to escape Pragmatism’s influence. This influence is the reason for this research: how political Pragmatism, specifically that of John Dewey was able to have an impact on Reinhold Niebuhr’s works and his Christian realism. This thesis will study the major works of these two thinkers in order to compare the political thought of each thinker. Younger than Dewey, Niebuhr had for a long time considered Dewey’s thought as nothing more than an idealized and outdated continuation of Enlightenment optimism which was incapable of accurately analyzing the contemporary world. Nevertheless, Niebuhr was influenced by Dewey. This thesis’s goal is to highlight the influences of Pragmatism in Niebuhr’s works in order to show that Niebuhrian thought is a continuation of Dewey’s pragmatic thought, specifically through the notions of Christian Pragmatism and therefore, fits within an overall framework of American Liberalism. In spite of the fundamental differences in thought, we are going to attempt to show that Niebuhr was a part of the typically American intellectual tradition, that is to say, Pragmatism; considered to be a uniquely American philosophical movement. It will be analyzed in order to achieve a greater understanding of these important thinkers, but also, of America’s political landscape

Full textThe United States are a political project born from clear moral and ethical values. The constitutional structure was created to reflect the revolutionary philosophy of the Independence, centred on defence of individual freedom. The innovative and ideological nature of the project has produced two different outlooks regarding the country’s role in the history of mankind. One is of a missionary temperament, internationalist and which argues for an involvement of America in world affairs to spread the values of 1776; the second is a more inward-looking understanding seeking to fulfil the meaning of America at home. This tension reproduces the dynamic nature of American idealism, founded on the clash of multiple positions and the ensuing negotiation which leads to national clarification. There is a cyclical clash of opposites from which emerges regularly a new synthesis that embraces the several impulses. There has been a noticeable departure from the original thesis stimulated by the political, social and constitutional evolution witnessed since the triumph of the internationalists in 1945. This has grave implications for the ideal of individual autonomy, and the absence of a national conversation regarding the international question and its domestic significance foretells a period of tension and reckoning from whence a new political and constitutional balance will emerge.
Os Estados Unidos foram criados como um projecto político assente sobre claros valores morais. A estrutura constitucional foi erguida para reflectir a filosofia revolucionária da independência, fortemente centrada na defesa da liberdade individual. O carácter inovador e ideológico deste projecto levou ao desenvolvimento de duas perspectivas divergentes relativamente ao papel do país na marcha da história universal. Uma de índole missionária, internacionalista e que advoga o envolvimento dos Estados Unidos com o mundo para disseminar os valores de 1776; uma segunda de natureza mais insular que pretende realizar a América dentro de portas. Esta tensão reproduz a natureza dinâmica do idealismo americano, baseada no choque entre múltiplas posições e o processo de negociação que transporta o país para novos entendimentos nacionais. Ciclicamente o país confronta-se com os seus opostos e do choque de tensões emerge regularmente uma nova síntese. O triunfo da tese internacionalista a partir de 1945 ocasionou uma evolução política, social e constitucional que desviou o país dos seus princípios fundacionais e que implicam graves prejuízos para o ideal de autonomia individual. A inexistência de um debate sobre a questão internacional e as suas consequências internas silenciou o processo negocial normal e deixa antever um período de conflito e tensão do qual se prevê que saía um novo equilíbrio político e constitucional.

Full textO movimento de protesto “Tea-Party” tem marcado a agenda política nos Estados Unidos muito por causa da sua oposição ao crescimento do governo federal. O receio de que o país se tenha afastado dos seus princípios constitucionais tem sido o catalisador dos protestos. Esta dissertação tem como objectivo perceber como são entendidos os ideais que estão na base da formação dos Estados Unidos e qual a sua relevância actual. Para tal, serão apresentados os principais valores fundacionais mediante uma leitura dos principais autores e textos que definiram os valores centrais do país. A sua evolução ao longo de alguns dos mais marcantes episódios da história Americana é complementada com reacções de testemunhas e análises contemporâneas. O desvio em relação às aspirações iniciais, especialmente a partir das últimas décadas do séc. XIX, deve-se tanto a Republicanos como a Democratas, sendo que nenhum dos partidos conseguiu encontrar soluções que não assassem por um aumento do poder federal para responder às exigências democráticas e ao envolvimento externo. Os desafios que assim se apresentaram e as respostas encontradas alteraram o equilíbrio constitucional em favor do governo central deixando-o, no entanto, enfraquecido para fazer face a crescentes pressões oligárquicas que se têm vindo a impor. Esta ameaça, conjugada com a influência crescente do Estado federal na vida das pessoas, põe em risco a estrutura democrática do país, anulando assim as esperanças da Revolução.
The recent Tea-Party protests in the United States have captured the political momentum thanks to their opposition to Big Government. They find a ready audience among those who fear that the country has moved away from its constitutional principles. This dissertation aims to question how the original ideals that inspired the formation of the United States are perceived today and what is their current relevance. In order to do this, the main foundational values are first presented through a reading of the principal authors and texts that established the core ideals. Their evolution throughout some of the most important moments in American history follows compounded with observer’s reactions as well as current analysis. Although the country has moved from its initial commitments, especially since the last decades of the 19th century, both Republicans and Democrats are responsible, neither managing to find answers to the combined pressures for greater democracy and the exigencies of international engagements that did not increase the federal government’s power. These challenges and the reactions that followed tipped the constitutional balance in favour of Washington, leaving it paradoxically weakened before oligarchic pressures that have been increasing of lately. This oligarchic threat, coupled with the enormous influence exerted by Big Government in people’s daily lives, threatens to undermine the whole democratic structure, cancelling the Revolutionary hopes.
