Abstract:

Author Peter Schuler discusses his thoughts on how ideas of creativity, literature, and pedagogy helped to develop into his first novel, John Spaghotte of Crumb. Schuler is a native of the Coachella Valley in Southern California and writes from a middle-class appreciation of working and living in an area where everything is catered to the wealthy class. Through personal injury and his experience in undergraduate and graduate studies he fought to develop a healthy critical mind and a grasp as to the true nature of identity. As a result, his riveting debut novel about a young, nerdy California version of Don Quixote becomes a cautionary tale about the dangers of failing to recognize oneself among a world full of materialistic pleasures and grandiose, fictional heroes. In the formulation of his novel Schuler argues that artistic creation, appreciation, study, and the development of a critical scope to see the world with lead to a better understand his own identity while his protagonist suffers from the lack of such a development.

Abstract:

Among the many writers and poets of Romanticism, John Keats got out of the way and gained an important position, even though he lived only twenty-five years: his inheritance is anyway copious and irreplaceable. He got acquainted with young intellectuals, among who illustrious names excel, such as Leigh Hunt, John Hamilton Reynolds and Benjamin Robert Haydon. The youngest of his brothers Thomas, ill of tuberculosis, died in 1818, while his brother George emigrated in America. This was the time when he met Fanny Brawne, an unfulfilled love, especially because of economical reasons. Soon, even worse problems aggravated the situation: the genetic disease of his family was about to attack him too. To improve his health, he followed the advice of his doctor and embarked toward Italy, where a better weather was suitable to his lungs. He arrived in Rome in November and his accommodation was in Piazza di Spagna, now consecrated to his and Shelley’s memory and where Keats lived a posthumous life. A few months later, he died and he wanted to be written on his grave “here lies one whose name was writ in water” . His contribution to poetry derives not only from the sonnets and his letters, but also from the Odes and he tried even writing Plays. However, his success has increased by many operas: Lamia, Isabella or the Pot of Basil, St Agnes’s Eve, La Belle Dame Sans Merci; Hyperion represents a crucial activity in his poetical career even if it remained incomplete, whereas large place of pages is occupied by the four books of Endymion, based on a Grecian myth; on the other hand, in the fragment St Mark’s Eve he anticipates the pre-Raphaelite school. Certainly his readings of the masterpieces of the authors who preceded him inspired him and eventually taught him as mentors how to compose. Spenser was his guide in particular for the technical features of the metric system, but he also represented an important poetical adviser, as Shakespeare and Milton were.

Abstract:

As one of the most well-known figures of the nineteenth century, John Stuart Mill was depicted extensively in journalism, pictures, life-writing and fiction. This thesis draws on a selection from these diverse and underexplored sources to offer a new perspective on Mill’s presence in Victorian cultural and emotional life. It shows how Mill figured in fierce debates about science and culture in the mid- to late-nineteenth century, and how ideas of Mill’s ‘femininity’ were used to both attack and commend him philosophically, politically and personally. Mill’s ‘Saint of Rationalism’ label continues to belie the extent to which he was associated with ideas of passion, sensitivity, tenderness, feeling, and emotion in the nineteenth century. This project explores how such terms were invoked in relation to Mill as a philosopher and politician, but also how they related to readers’ encounters with his works. More than any previous study, this thesis pays close attention to the interaction between verbal and visual depictions, and considers official images and caricatures of Mill alongside written accounts. Though much scholarship emphasises that Mill’s reputation went into decline after his death in 1873 (to be recovered in the late twentieth century), this thesis demonstrates the vitality and diversity of literary engagements with Mill in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. It offers case studies of three authors – Thomas Hardy, Mona Caird and Olive Schreiner – and reads both the form and content of their fiction as involved in recognisably Millian experiments in living. Exploring the Millian concepts that figure in novels by Hardy, Caird and Schreiner not only expands the sense of the philosophical context to their writings, but underscores the continued relevance of Mill to discussions of self-development and education, free discussion and intellectual independence. Finally, this thesis suggests ways in which work on representations of Mill could be developed to gain further insight into the cultural history of the philosopher, into interactions between philosophy and literature, and into the nineteenth-century definitions of liberal culture that inform twenty-first century debates.

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the theological views of a leading Victorian evangelical Anglican, Bishop John Charles Ryle. The main sources for the study are the bishop's extensive writings, which run to some seven thousand pages. Ryle's writings, for the most part, are occasional, pastoral and evangelistic, but they are suffused with theological concern, to the extent that a "systematic theology" can almost be compiled from them. Because of this, the method adopted in this work is to study Ryle's writings according to the traditional theological "loci," and to analyse his understanding of each of them. The study also seeks to make the analysis in the light of the historical theological and ecclesiastical background to his writings, particularly as Ryle frequently interacted with the various disparate elements that comprised the Victorian religious scene. The most extensive studies in this thesis relate to Ryle's exposition of the distinctive emphases of Evangelicalism, viz. the Inspiration and Authority of Scripture, human depravity, the Atonement, and the saving and sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. Other important areas are the sacraments, in which Ryle engages in a strong polemic against the Anglo-Catholics of his day, and the doctrine of the Church. The thesis emphasises some characteristics of Ryle's theology, in particular its biblical basis, traditional orthodoxy, evangelicalism and moderate Calvinism. An interesting feature of Ryle's work is his polemic, which is directed against the newly emerging liberals, and the increasingly influential Anglo-Catholics. We also take note of Ryle's style of presentation, including his simplicity of expression, strong pastoral application, and his didactic method of inculcation by repetition. The thesis concludes with a resume of his work, a description of its character, together with a constructive critique and evaluation, and an indication of Ryle's importance for our own day.

Abstract:

John Dewey föddes år 1859, samma år som Charles Darwin bröt ny mark för människan genom sin Theory of Species. Genom Darwin skulle grunden för det kollektiva mänskliga tänkandet och förståelsen av oss själva aldrig förbli detsamma. För Dewey precis som för Darwin är det förståelsen av människan och hennes värld som är det intressanta.

Denna uppsats är en närläsning av Deweys verk Demokrati och utbildning som publicerades för första gången 1916. Verket som är skrivet på tidigt 1900-tal har haft ett stort inflytande på pedagogiskt tänkande generellt, men är också ett av de verkligt intressanta arbetena rörande människan och utbildningens roll för det demokratiska samhället. Verket är av idémässigt fundamental betydelse för den filosofiska tanketradition som kallas pragmatism då Dewey fångar upp den bärande idén om människan i samhället som en del av världen och som beroende av en bra utbildning.

Uppsatsen har för avsikt att förmedla och tolka de tankegångar som Dewey låter framträda i Demokrati och utbildning. Arbetet har resulterat i de sex tematiska delarna som är ordnade under rubrikerna; Utbildningens demokratifunktion, Individens kunskap om världen, Att tänka, Kunskapsteori, Moral samt Deweys filosofibegrepp. Olika teorier om sanning presenteras och pragmatismens sanningsteori behandlas. Avslutningsvis konstateras att det som vi idag ser som filosofi en gång startade genom utbildning och att den pragmatiska filosofin i första hand påverkar samhället genom utbildningen.

John Dewey was born in 1859. That same year Charles Darwin published his Theory of Species. After Darwin, the understanding of human and human thinking of itself never again would be the same. For Charles Darwin and John Dewey the understanding of human and humans role in the world is the most interesting and important part of knowledge.

This essay is a reading of Deweys Demokracy and Education witch first was published in in the year of 1916. The main part of this work is in the six parts; The education and its democracy principle, The individualls knowledge of the world, to think, theory of knowledge, moral and Dewey´s philosophy.

The essay will also explain that the work of Dewey (Democracy and Education) has a huge impact on philosophy in the arena of education. It is also very important for the American philosophy called Pragmatism formed and grunded by Dewey, William James and Charles Sanders Peirce.

The work was written in the early 20th century and catch the idea of human need and hunger for education and also the importance of good education for the society in witch humans as individualls in groups are living. A number of theories of truth is represented and the philosophy called Pragmatism is represented as having it´s own theory of truth.

Abstract:

This thesis explores John Donne's vision of the Apocalypse as revealed by his religious poetry and prose. Donne believed himself to be alive in the last age of the world; however, he rejected historicist interpretations of the Apocalypse. Instead, he located the conflict with sin and death within the individual soul. Donne was concerned to create an image of the sinful soul restored to unity with the divine through its own exertions and by God's grace, free from social and political constraints. The Apocalypse presented Donne with a paradigm of unity which he appropriated in order to represent the interconnexion of God and humankind, as well as to situate himself within a present unfolding of ultimate conformity. Knowledge of the role of the Apocalypse in Donne's self-presentation, provides an awareness of the extent to which Donne understood himself to be an active participant in the fulfilment of the Providential design.

Abstract:

Both the prose and poetry of John Milton (1608-1674) are replete with references, allusions and digressions on oriental topics. Yet, this profusion of detail has received no systematic examination. Thus, this thesis examines the ways that the Milton depicts "the Orient." In doing so, it offers a reconsideration of the methodologies used by western scholars to analyse literary investigations of non-western peoples and places. Notably, it endeavours to outline how we can examine the Orient in literature without resorting to the paradigms of "Orientalism," as delineated by Edward Said (1935-2003). This thesis notes how all these avenues of enqury lead to a single conclusion: Milton's abiding sentiments about "the Orient" were the fear of assault by a superior force and the dread of contamination by all that he considered alien.

Abstract:

The ideas of liberty presented in the important works of John Locke and John Stuart Mill, The Second Treatise of Government (1689) and On Liberty (1859), are often viewed as belonging to the same conceptual tradition, that of English liberalism. This thesis is an articulation of the diversity between the theories of liberty expressed by Locke and Mill in the Second Treatise and On liberty. \ am aiming to provide a corrective to the tendency to ignore or to gloss over very significant differences between the two men. The work concentrates on the philosophical aspects of each theory of liberty, arguing that they differ in four respects. These are; definitions of liberty; justifications of liberty; how much liberty and for whom they recommend it, and finally, who they believe threatens liberty and how this threat is to be curbed. It is the purpose of this thesis to show that in terms of these areas Locke and Mill are pursuing different ends. I conclude that Locke and Mill present strikingly different theories of liberty and cannot be thought of as belonging to the one conceptual tradition in terms of the definition, the justification, the prescription and the threat to liberty. Ultimately, I question the value of including Locke and Mill in the one conceptual tradition of liberty solely on the basis that they argue freedom from.

Abstract:

This study addresses lesser known works of romantic poets John Clare and John Keats--Clare's Child Harold and Keats's poems to Fanny Brawne--which I refer to as their love poems because the works are informed by intense feelings the poets had for women they loved. Although these works have been the brunt of negative criticism because Clare was considered insane at the time of the composition of Child Harold and Keats was accused of using the poems to give vent to his personal sufferings, nonetheless I argue that the love poems are significant for several reasons. They are a reflection of the poets' personal experiences and also demonstrate their remarkable and surprisingly similar creative abilities in the way they use poetry as a means of devising new strategies for dealing with the painful realities of their disturbing lives. And because I feel it is important to understand Clare's and Keats's feelings for the women they love in order to understand their poetry (since the poetry is, after all, based on real life experiences), I provide chapters describing the poets's lives and loves, as well as their poetic processes, to serve as a framework for examining the poems. In the remaining chapters, I show how the poets incorporate highly sophisticated metaphor in attempting to reconcile the apparent conflicts the speakers in their poems are experiencing between their subjective responses to, and their rational assessment of human existence. In the process, the speakers experience various states of emotional upheaval ranging from what I refer to as periods of limbo, purgatory, and paradise, and they create personal thresholds and undergo differing states of self-awareness. In the final chapter I provide a summary of how these different emotional states are metaphorically effected, and then attempt to explain the value of Clare's and Keats's poetic achievements in the poems from a current perspective.

Abstract:

The secondary literature on Protestant scholasticism has undergone a seismic shift in recent years as scholars have moved away from the ‘Calvin against the Calvinists’ approach towards an approach that recognizes the importance of Reformed orthodox figures in their own context. One such figure is John Owen, who in his scholastic training at Oxford was exposed to the thought of Thomas Aquinas and the school of Thomism. Owen’s writings demonstrate a profound proficiency in Thomistic thought from his earliest writings until shortly before his death. Owen first of all demonstrates his debt to the Thomistic conception of God as pure act of being. This concept has relevance for divine simplicity and causality in three of Owen’s works: Display of Arminianism, Doctrine of the Saints’ Perseverance, and Vindiciae Evangelicae. Owen uses this concept to argue against what he sees as semi-Pelagian and Socinian understandings of God. Second, Owen uses the Thomistic understanding of infused habits and virtues in his development of the work of the Holy Spirit. In his works Communion with God and Discourse on the Holy Spirit, Owen demonstrates his dependence upon the Thomistic understanding of a habit of grace as something that is infused into the soul by God, not acquired by human action. This habit is given in regeneration and cultivated in sanctification. However, Owen clearly demonstrates his disagreements with Thomas on the role of infused habits in justification in his work Justification by Faith. Third, Owen demonstrates the influence of Thomistic Christology in his work Christologia. There Owen uses the Thomistic understanding of the hypostatic union in order to present a speculative basis for the practical acts of worship and adoration to Christ. Owen’s use of Thomism is both Augustinian and Trinitarian, and is an appropriate model for further Western theological reflection.

Abstract:

This thesis will demonstrate that an engagement with Surrealism alongside John Ashbery’s poetry can provide a mutually beneficial discussion through which to further understand both. Through its phenomenological attention, Ashbery’s poetry configures the everyday experience of his reality in a way that responds to, and invites, a surrealist perspective. The first chapter explores Joseph Cornell, collecting and the ‘found object’, with an emphasis on Ashbery’s first collection, Some Trees (1956). The second Chapter examines dreams and dreaming throughout Ashbery’s first four collections, ending with an analysis of Three Poems (1972). Merleau-Ponty is used to demonstrate the oneiric implications of Ashbery’s poetics of phenomenology as a basis for Surrealism, whereby a perception of reality becomes comparable to a dream. My third chapter presents Ashbery’s book-length poem Flow Chart (1991) alongside the Canadian filmmaker, Guy Maddin. The concept of noise, alongside the pioneering presence of Surrealism in early radio, is used to understand treatments of memory that connect Maddin’s films to Ashbery’s interruptive poetics and lead both to be understood through Georges Bataille’s notion of ‘The Labyrinth’. The fourth chapter discusses the relationship between visual perspective and a surrealist imagining of childhood. This chapter returns to the enduring importance of ‘The Skaters’ in order to understand the poem’s relation to collage, ‘play’ and metaphor as key examples of how Ashbery’s poetry comes to realise Breton’s surrealist dictum: ‘always for the first time’.

Abstract:

Centree sur la poesie satirique de dryden, dont sont soulignees la polysemie fondamentale et l'ambiguite, mais prenant en compte l'ensemble tres vaste de son oeuvre, cette etude se situe dans une perspective a la fois historique et stylistique, voire linguistique. L'ecrivain a ete associe a divers milieux sociaux et a vecu dans une periode de tensions que refletent ses poemes, ses pieces de theatre, ses essais de critique litteraire et ses textes polemiques. Quant a sa vision du monde, elle apparait constituee de courants de pensee mouvants et divergents, et meme contradictoires, comme le manifestent ses idees religieuses, scientifiques, historiques, politiques et litteraires envisagees tour a tour. Si le penchant de dryden pour l'argumentation et son gout pour certaines formes reductrices (au plan de la rhetorique ou des images) favorisent l'expression satirique, son ecriture ne cesse de s'enrichir d'allusions culturelles et de resonances (grace en particulier a une parfaite maitrise de la langue et de la prosodie). Ainsi satire et poesie se trouvent intimement liees et leurs incidences reciproques et volontiers paradoxales sont analysees dans les prologues et les epilogues, dans mac flecknoe, dans absalom and achitophel, dans the medall et dans the hind and the panther. L'ironie, tributaire notamment d'une certaine polyphonie enonciative et de jongleries et creations verbales, en vient a etre intensifiee mais aussi perturbee par les effets poetiques
Focussed on dryden's satirical poetry whose fundamental ambivalence and ambiguity are stressed, but also taking into account his whole extensive work, this study develops along a historical and stylistic (if not linguistic) line. Our author was connected with various social classes and lived in a period of tensions mirrored in his poems, his plays, his critical essays and his polemical writings, while his vision of the world integrates moving and diverging, even contradictory, ideas, as is revealed in his religious, scientific, historical, political and literary views. If dryden's keen expertise in argumentation and his fondness for rhetorical and stylistic reductions are conducive to satire, his writing is ceaselessly enriched by cultural allusions and resonance (thanks in particular to a perfect mastery of language and prosody). Thus satire and poetry are shown to be intimately and intricately associated and their often paradoxical relationship is analysed in the prologues and epilogues, mac flecknoe, absalom and achitophel, the medall and the hind and the panther. Irony, which tends to be linked with a form of enunciative polyphony, with plays on words and verbal creations, is both intensified and blurred, even subverted, by poetry

Abstract:

Bibliography: leaves 96-100.
In 1988 Methodist people throughout the world were encouraged to commemorate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the evangelical Â·conversion of John Wesley. This thesis arises from a questioning of the exclusive emphasis placed by so many upon Wesley's Aldersgate experience. The question asked is whether Wesley's heart-warming experience was indeed the turning point of his theology and practice, or whether there were other equally important (or even more important) moments in his life. A fresh reading of Wesley has shown that the promotion of this one event in his life has led to a narrow focus which is not born out by his faith and practice. Not only were there many moments of decision in his life, such as the 1725 discovery of Jeremy Taylor's Rules and Exercises of Holy Living and Holy Dying, his submissionÂ· to become "more vile" through field preaching in 1739, or his 1784 decision to ordain priests, but each of such moments signified a change in the direction of his life. One such moment was Wesley's decision to respond to the American Revolution. This decision to enter the world of politics proved to be a turning point in his thought and practice, which holds unexplored potential for the political practice of the people called Methodist. It is therefore appropriate that during the anniversary celebrations of Aldersgate, Wesley's thought should be explored beyond the narrow confines imposed by this Aldersgate mania.

Abstract:

This thesis argues for an unorthodox interpretation of John Rawls's egalitarianism as a hybrid of 'actual contractualism' and 'modal contractualism'. It also offers a defence of the theory so understood. According to actual contractualism, a system of political institutions and norms is just only if each person over whom it claims authority actually accepts it in some sense. Actual contractualists stand in contrast with modal contractualists, who take jusuce to require that no one could reasonably reject the institutions and norms in question. Rawls is standardly read as a modal contractualist, but I argue that his view includes an significant element of actual contractualism. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part describes actual contractualism and contrasts it with modal contractualism. It goes on to consider the possibility of a hybrid theory, which appeals to modal contractualist reasons to justify an actual contractualist test for justice. I suggest that this is an attractive view. In trie second part I go on to argue that a careful understanding of Rawls's theory view reveals it to be hybrid contractualist. I elaborate Rawls's strategy of 'political constructivism' in the light of this interpretation, and attempt to show that it is very much in the Lockean actual contractualist tradition. The final part of the thesis concerns the justification of specifically Rawls's egalitananism. I contend that Rawls's argument for justice as fairness can be seen as a detailed effort to explain why his egalitarianism is, in the relevant sense, actually accepted by each person, and I argue that as such it succeeds. I then contrast the Rawlsian view with left-libertariamsm, another attempt to marry actual contractualism and egalitananism. I argue that Rawls's is the more thoroughgoing, unified view, and should be preferred on that basis.

Abstract:

This study brings John Hick's pluralistic hypothesis into engagement with the process pluralism position developed by John B. Cobb Jr. and David Ray Griffin in the ongoing attempt to adequately account for the reality of religious truth-claim diversity. Despite numerous criticisms, Hick's position remains viable in its explanatory intentions, whereas Cobb's and Griffin's position is not, contrary to its self-perception, an improvement upon Hick's hypothesis. Moreover, Cobb's and Griffin's position is not properly pluralistic and is better modified for greater alignment with the lived traditions. The primary issue is one of coherence in relation to the positing of multiple ultimacy to account for truth divergence. However, a Whiteheadian epistemology offers a potentially fruitful way of understanding and arguing, not for the veracity of multiple ultimacy, but for the veracity of religious experience per se.
Cette étude compare l'hypothèse pluraliste de John Hick avec la position pluraliste du "process" développée par John B. Cobb Jr. et David Ray Griffin, dans le but de tenir compte de la réalité en regard de la diversité religieuse. En dépit de nombreuses critiques, la position de Hick demeure viable, alors que celle du "process" n'est pas, contrairement à la prétention de ses représentants les plus connus, une amélioration de l'hypothèse de Hick. En outre, la position du "process" n'est pas vraiment pluraliste et devrait être modifiée en vue d'un meilleur alignement avec les traditions vivantes. La question principale en est une de cohérence par rapport à l'ultime multiple susceptible de rendre compte de la divergence quant à la question de la vérité. Toutefois, une épistémologie whiteheadienne pourrait offrir un moyen fructueux de compréhension et d'argumentation, non pas de la véracité de l'ultime multiple, mais de la véracité de l'expérience religieuse comme telle.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om det går att rättfärdiga militära interventioner med stöd i klassisk liberal politisk teori. För ändamålet har de klassiskt liberala filosoferna John Locke och John Stuart Mill analyserats. Undersökningen är utförd medelst en text- och idéanalys av några av filosofernas portalverk. Resultatet av studien visar ett tydligt stöd för vissa sorters militära interventioner och att det faktumet är djupt rotat i flera etiska och moraliska överväganden som Locke respektive Mill gör. Slutsatsen i uppsatsen är därav att det finns klassiskt liberala argument för att genomföra militära interventioner.

Abstract:

This study examines personalism in John Donne's art: to what extent his poems are a product of his personality over and above conscious invention and artifice. It argues that Donne writes the way he does because, for the most part, he fails to attain distance from his work. The subjects that he writes about regularly are straight from his own life, and his take on them is highly personal. This paper brings in some biographical details but in general is concerned with scrutinizing Donne's writings in order to understand his imagination. Its primary method is to trace the repetition, resonance, and echoes of words, ideas, and themes throughout Donne's opus. Donne uses the same word or phrase repeatedly throughout his writings to dissect a single idea, so this essay discusses letters and sermons at the same time as love poetry and divine poetry. All are the product of a single imagination, and no genre necessarily precludes personalism. The first chapter looks at Donne's approach to art. Because he rarely writes explicitly about art itself, his approach must be reconstructed from his work. An inter-chapter follows, examining the effect of apostasy on Donne's work. The second chapter treats Donne's memories of the past that appear frequently in his poems and prose. The third chapter shows how Donne's formal invention is itself a product of his irrepressible personality, and the fourth chapter looks at his uses of argument and conceit and examines the structure and sources of some of his ideas.

Abstract:

« Concernant l’expérience esthétique, le philosophe se doit donc de comprendre de quoi il y a expérience » déclare J. Dewey et c’est sur la base de son enquête que nous tenterons dans la première partie de notre recherche, de répondre à cette injonction. Il s’agira d’abord de comprendre les exigences, les difficultés et les enjeux de cette conception de l’expérience esthétique saisie dans sa continuité avec l’expérience ordinaire. On ne peut concevoir l’expérience esthétique comme une entité séparée de l’expérience ordinaire, mais on ne peut non plus en galvauder la spécificité en la diluant dans le flux de nos expériences. Radicale, l’esthétique de Dewey l’est aussi en ce qu’elle invite à ne plus dissocier l’esthétique et l’artistique, la contemplation et la pratique, la réception et la création, mais cherche plutôt à saisir la continuité qui relie ces distinctions abstraites au sein d’une même expérience vivante. C’est à la portée critique de cette reconstruction d’une expérience unifiée que nous consacrerons la deuxième partie de cette recherche. Enfin, radicale, l’esthétique pragmatiste l’est à un troisième titre en ce qu’elle refuse les fictions paresseuses de l’intériorité pour comprendre l’individualité du sujet esthétique qu’il soit créateur ou récepteur. L’expérience esthétique apparaît bien à la fois comme l’expérience la plus individuelle et la plus accomplie, mais son individualité ne présuppose pas l’existence d’un individu pensé comme un atome isolé. Ainsi, ce que Dewey nous invite à repenser et à reconstruire c’est le lien mouvant qui unit l’individu et la société démocratique
« To esthetic experience, then, the philosopher must go to understand what experience is. » J. Dewey claims and the first part of our research will rest on Dewy's inquiry on experience in an attempt to comply with his injunction. To begin with, we will endeavour to understand what are the requirements, the difficulties and the possible gains of this conception of aesthetic experience, which is described as closely connected to commonplace experience. Aesthetic experience can not be conceived as separate from commonplace experience, but neither should its specificity be lessened by dilution in the general flow of human experience. Dewey's aesthetics is also radical in that he argues against the distinction between the aesthetic and the artistic, between the artist's creativity and the audience's contemplation, between creation and appreciation. To the contrary, he attempts to take hold of what relates the two facets of the artistic process and to merge them into one and the same living experience. The second part of our research will be devoted to uncovering the critical scope of this reconstruction of experience. To proceed further, the radical quality of pragmatist aesthetics can be found in its refusal of the lazy fictions of the inner self and in its attempt to understand the individuality of the aesthetic subject, whether creator or recipient.Aesthetic experience is revealed as the most individual and fulfilled experience; on the other hand its uniqueness in no way requires the existence of an individual conceived of as an isolated atom. Thus, what Dewey suggests is that we reconsider and rebuild the fluctuating link that unites individuals and democratic society

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to consider the knowledge and use of law by John of Salisbury, evaluating what he thought law should be, whence it originated and how it related to aspects of society, for example the institutions of the monarch and the church. For this purpose, the main evidence used will be Historia Pontificalis, Policraticus and the large corpus of letters. Chapter One is entitled Types of Law and gives an outline of the main types of law as John saw them. Chapter Two is entitled Canon Law. This chapter is devoted entirely to the study of John's knowledge and use of canon law. In this chapter, consideration will be made to what canon law John appears to have known and how John used this knowledge within his written work. Chapter Three, entitled King and Law, focuses upon John of Salisbury's opinion of the relationship between the monarch and the law. Chapter Four, Theory of Law: Church and King considers John's ideas on the relationship between church and monarch. Attention will also be paid to how he conveyed his ideas during the papal schism and the Becket dispute as well as John's ideas on judges. Chapter Five is entitled Law in Practice: Church and King, whereby analysis will be made of how John sees the monarch's involvement in issues such as church elections.

Abstract:

The role of the Jacobean romance mode has been undervalued and misunderstood, not least because of what it has been seen to symbolise politically, and perhaps also because it was seen as beginning to be associated with a female audience. I suggest that gender and sexuality were often represented in romance in a radical way which was frequently empowering for women. Among dramatists, Fletcher and his collaborators in particular were freed by their use of romance to experiment with representations of gender in a radical way. The thesis is divided into four sections, all of which address the way that gender and sexuality are represented in the Beaumont and Fletcher canon. The first section has a chapter on Fletcher's debt to Shakespeare in Bonduca, and another on the two romance plays on which Fletcher and Shakespeare collaborated - The Two Noble Kimmen, and the lost Cardenio. The second section discusses Fletcher's The Faithful Shepherdess, first giving the context of English Jacobean pastoral tragicomedy and explaining its special significance for women, and secondly comparing Fletcher's play with Lady Mary Wroth's Love's Victory, a rare example of a Jacobean play by a woman. Section three explores the debt to prose romance of four plays - Philaster, Valentinian, Love's Cure and The Island Princess - focusing on the possibility that Fletcher may have been influenced by French precieux ideas. The final section investigates the part that women played in masques in the second half of the Jacobean period, and the way that Fletcher and his collaborators use masques and masque-like elements in their plays to exploit the dramatic potential of the Jacobean female masquer's unusually public and self-affirming role. By exploring the impact of Jacobean feminocentric romance forms on the plays of Fletcher and his collaborators I offer a fuller understanding of the ways in which they regarded gender and sexuality, and contribute to the wider project of rediscovering a history of women in the Jacobean period.

Abstract:

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
This dissertation presents a reconstruction of John Venn s (1834-1923) logical theory in Symbolic Logic (1881; 1894). In his work, Venn presents an algebra of logic, and faces a number of philosophical problems underlying this symbolic logic. Firstly, Venn needs to consider the relation between symbolic logic and traditional logic, i.e., Syllogistic. Secondly, Venn needs to consider the relation between symbolic logic and Mathematics. In treating these issues, Venn will have to reflect upon a number of philosophical notions concerning the nature of symbolic knowledge. The objective of this dissertation is to present Venn s treatment to the concept of symbolic knowledge. Throughout the research, it is shown that according to Venn s point of view the algebra of logic is a formal generalization of Syllogistic. Such formal generalization is possible due to the ecthetic function algebraic symbols perform in logical representation. Furthermore, according to Venn, the logic represented by his algebraic symbolism can be precisely differentiated from Mathematics. Such differencing is possible due to the reflection upon the different modes in which algebraic symbolism performs the subrogative function of symbolic knowledge. This dissertation achieves twofold results. On the one hand, it achieves a historiographically important result, for it permits the determination of the locus of Venn s work among the efforts of logical symbolization in the Nineteenth century. On the other, it achieves a philosophical result insofar it permits, through the analysis of a historical case, to clarify key-notions of symbolic knowledge. Venn is more recognized for the creation of Venn diagrams than for his work in the algebra of logic, however, Venn doesn t elaborate much any systematic reflection upon the nature of graphic knowledge. Nevertheless, the research of Venn s work in the algebra of logic provides results concerning the nature of Venn diagrams, which are here presented as a secondary issue.
Esta dissertação apresenta uma reconstrução da teoria lógica de John Venn (1834- 1923) em Symbolic Logic (1881; 1894). Em sua obra, Venn apresenta uma álgebra da lógica, e enfrenta uma série de problemas filosóficos subjacentes a essa lógica simbólica. Em primeiro lugar, Venn precisa considerar a relação entre a lógica simbólica e a lógica tradicional, i.e., a silogística. Em segundo lugar, Venn precisa considerar a relação entre a lógica simbólica e a matemática. No tratamento dessas questões, Venn precisará refletir sobre uma série de noções filosóficas acerca da natureza do conhecimento simbólico. O objetivo dessa dissertação é apresentar o tratamento oferecido por Venn ao conceito de conhecimento simbólico. No desenvolvimento da pesquisa, verifica-se que, na opinião de Venn, sua álgebra da lógica é uma generalização formal da silogística. Tal processo de generalização formal é possível graças à função ectética que os símbolos algébricos cumprem na representação lógica. Além disso, verifica-se que, de acordo com Venn, a lógica representada pelo seu simbolismo algébrico pode ser precisamente diferenciada da matemática. Tal diferenciação é possível graças à reflexão sobre os diferentes modos em que o simbolismo algébrico cumpre a função subrogativa do conhecimento simbólico. Essa dissertação alcança, por fim, um duplo resultado. Por um lado, obtém-se um resultado de valor historiográfico, pois permite determinar o lugar do trabalho de Venn entre os esforços de simbolização da lógica do século XIX. Além disso, alcança também um resultado filosófico na medida em que permite, através de análise de um caso histórico, clarificar noções-chave do conhecimento simbólico. Venn é mais conhecido pela criação dos diagramas de Venn do que por seu trabalho em álgebra da lógica, contudo Venn pouco oferece em termos de reflexão sistemática sobre o tema filosófico da natureza do conhecimento gráfico. Apesar disso, o estudo do trabalho de Venn em álgebra da lógica oferece resultados sobre a natureza dos diagramas de Venn, resultados esses que são aqui apresentados como produto secundário da investigação.

Abstract:

In the context of the contemporary rebirth of interest in contemplative prayer in the Christian tradition, many people, e.g., Laurence Freeman (1995), Eileen O'Hea (1990), Bede Griffiths (1991), have begun to examine the writings of John Main.
This thesis presents John Main's understanding of Christian Meditation, in particular, his recovery from the Desert monks of the 4th century, of the practice of 'pure prayer' (silent meditation using a prayer word or mantra). Main recovered the use of a mantra as a way of meditation within the tradition of the Christian church.
The thesis also discusses some aspects of the Christian life and themes which are relevant to his teaching and finally, articulates some implications for contemporary religious/spirituality education. Comparisons are made between Main's pedagogical approach and that of several other contemporary Christian educators.

Abstract:

O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a democracia no pensamento do pragmatista estadunidense John Dewey (1859-1952) e sua contribuição para a teoria política contemporânea. Num primeiro momento, se examina o pensamento político do autor, ressaltando-se as implicações que o antifundacionismo e o contextualismo sugerem. Já o confronto do pensamento de Dewey com críticas de Richard Rorty, Richard Bernstein, Robert Westbrook e Alfonso Damico sugere que, ao mesmo tempo em que o vocabulário do estadunidense é refém de imperativos de sua época, deixa grande contribuição para a teoria contemporânea; a de que a democracia é o modelo político que permite a geração de novas formas de vida e sua permanentemente recriação, a partir do contínuo confronto com a prática, de forma a mapear trajetórias para que desejos e aspirações da sociedade sejam concretizados.
This dissertation aims to study the thought of the American pragmatist John Dewey (1859-1952) on democracy and its contribution to the contemporary political theory. At first, the political thought of the author is analyzed, and the anti-foundationalism’s and contextualism’s repercussions are highlighted. The tension between Dewey’s thoughts and the ideas of Richard Rorty, Richard Bernstein, Robert Westbrook and Alfonso Damico suggest that, if in the one hand Dewey’s vocabulary is a victim of his own time, it brings a great contribution to contemporary theory. This contribution is expressed though the idea that democracy is the political model that allows the creation of forms of life and their permanent recreation, from the clash between theory and practice, aiming at the designing of trajectories that will give life to the desires and aspirations of society.
