Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the nature and dynamics of transcendent experience: phenomena I have witnessed in many individuals, groups, and organisations. Transcendent experience is best described as an attitude or way of life that is fundamentally different to what could be construed as the ' normal ', conventional, and rationalistic attitudes that pervade the Western epistemological mind-set today as the most-if not sole-means to valuable knowledge and experience. This thesis does not seek to explain its features dogmatically and definitively-after all, such a phenomenon evades the reductive and totalising effects of rationalisation-but assesses a vast range of supporting literature to emphasise how it is manifesting itself across an equally vast and eclectic range of peoples. By examining evidence from contemporary personal accounts, historical case study, published biographical accounts, scholarly reports and personal anecdotes, a number of key characteristics and principles of transcendence are identified as underpinning their experiences. These principles include a commitment from the individual or group in question to embrace and practice 'ways of knowing' beyond rational cognition. There is a tendency for the subject to recognise themselves as involved in purposeful ways of knowing. This is seen as a recognition that the physical self is merged with a nature that is experienced by the subject as ' transcendent ' to them; that is to say, a nature that is described as 'divine ' or 'spiritual'. A further principle is the subject's openness to, and assimilation of, what is reported to be not one but multiple transcendent experiences. The benefits of these are construed to be a sense of belonging and a feeling of wellbeing-feelings, which it is claimed, could not be obtained through conventional ' rational ' ways of knowing. In short, these people seem to be living according to, or at least intent on working towards, a transcendent way of ' being', one that validates non-rational, possibly ' divine ' experiences as essentially ' human'. Other key characteristics of transcendent experiences are ascertained, including the role of suffering and emptiness.

Resumo: Benedito Nunes, em "A Visão Romântica" (1993, p. 58), afirma que na poesia romântica, "O Eu transcende a Natureza física [...]", pois estabelece com ela um entendimento interno. Sob esse ponto de vista, a Natureza romântica é reveladora, pois exprime a experiência subjetiva do sujeito lírico e contribui para o alcance de uma consciência demiúrgica. Essa poesia referta de analogias será o ponto de partida para a abordagem de um universo onde cada elemento natural seja visto como metáfora de outra realidade superior, intuível pelo projeto poético. Álvares de Azevedo, em Lira dos vinte anos, desenvolve tal intuição panteística, especialmente na Primeira e na Terceira Parte, provocando contraponto em muitos poemas da Segunda Parte, quando substitui a intuição pela dedução irônica do mundo e dos homens. As outras obras do autor nos interessam na medida em que exploram as metáforas do anoitecer, como Macário, Noite na taverna e O Conde Lopo. Porém, entendemos que na Lira, a transcendência pela natureza se realiza mais plenamente, permitindo-nos uma leitura de seus versos por via dessa visada crítica. A intenção da tese é, dessa forma, entender a poética da natureza no jovem autor, de modo que possamos dialogar com a experiência transcendente do sujeito romântico e com os pressupostos da filosofia romântica disseminados a partir do Pré-Romantismo alemão
Abstract: Benedito Nunes, in "A Visão Romântica" (1993, p. 58), claims that in romantic poetry, "o Eu transcende a Natureza física" (the 'I' transcends physical Nature) [...]", for it establishes within itself inner understanding. Under this point of view, romantic Nature is revealing for it expresses the biased experience of the lyrical subject, and contributes to reaching a demiurgic awareness. Such poetry fulfilled with analogies shall be the start point for the approach of a universe where each natural element is seen as a metaphor of another superior reality, intuitable by the poetic project. Álvares de Azevedo, in Lira dos vinte anos, develops such pantheistic intuition, especially in the First and in the Third Part, causing a counterpoint in many poems from the Second Part, when he replaces intuition by the ironic deduction of the world and men. The other works by this author interest to us in what they concern the exploitation of the dusk metaphor, as in Macário, Noite na taverna and O Conde Lopo. Nevertheless, one understands that in Lira, the transcendence over nature is lived to its fullest, allowing us the reading of its verses through this critic look. The aim of this thesis is, thus, understand the poetics of nature in the young author in such a way one can dialog with the romantic subject's transcendent experience and also the assumptions of the romantic philosophy spread since German Pre-Romantism

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a description and critical analysis of the processes, concepts and imagery of my artwork. I am interested in creating visual narratives, often figurative, in the form of sculpture, collage, and installation. In my work I attempt to call attention to the human condition, specifically addressing sexuality, mortality, psychological issues and power struggles. I incorporate both cultural and personal references and use traditional and non traditional materials and processes that are intended to conceptually inform the viewer further. My intention is to create distinct embodiments that provoke contemplative emotion and in which the object and the aesthetic experience allow us to consider and reconsider who we are and how we progress as a culture.

Full textAbstract:
Artist Statement I have often created art with an organic quality because I have felt bound by the earth’s natural elements and forces. These extend to and influence my human qualities which influence my artwork. My paintings and mixed media works symbolize the issues and defects that affect me in various ways and represent my attempt at overcoming them. At its core, my body of work addresses psychological and emotional recovery work. I have been burdened for a long period of time with anxiety, various character defects, and difficulties but I find catharsis through creative expression. Because I have chosen to address and convey my on-going struggle for emotional well-being in my work, I depict distorted images which I sometimes describe as ghostlike figures. These images symbolize the issues and defects that often have a negative impact on my life. However, in many ways, these images also symbolize to me the gratitude I feel for overcoming such trying times. For without these psychological and emotional trials and tribulations, I would not be the person I am at this point in my life. I now possess the tools I need to develop a healthier quality of life. My experiences are reflected in my works.

Full textAbstract:
The research identified the ‘Sublime’ as a tradition I was intrinsically drawn towards and focused on the critique in Edmund Burke’s Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of the Sublime and Beautiful. The significance of the concept was further supported by a range of readings that include, Kant, Wordsworth and the documentary prose of W.S. Sebald and P.Schrader’s account of the transcendent in film. Burke’s psychological enquiry traces the source of the sublime to experiences that excite and cause one to tremble with pleasure, combining fear with delight. He moves the Sublime encounter away from the object (nature) and towards the conception of the beholder. My own enquiry centres on his theory of aesthetic opposition, in which beauty is derived from pleasure and sublimity from pain. The paradox articulates my own perspective and forms the foundation of my creative discourse, which travels a precarious route until it finds a resolution in the Final Viva Exhibition.

Full textAbstract:
Where there has been a shift by certain strands of modern! postmodern thinkers towards rethinking 'transcendence' and the 'the divine' in strictly material and immanent terms, this thesis hopes to show that such a shift leads to problematic formulations of material immanence. Given such concerns a move is made towards developing an ontology that will properly sustain otherness (transcendence) within material immanence. Significantly, it will be suggested that this ontology is best supported given a theistic framework, where a more traditional understanding of divine transcendence is acknowledged. The turn towards thinking transcendence and! or the divine as entirely inherent within the world, rather than discontinuous with it in any way, is prompted by the worry that the affirmation of traditional, theistic understandings of divine transcendence invariably encourages the discrediting of the material world and inaugurates every kind of unwelcome hierarchical dualisms, for example, God! World, Transcendence/ Immanence, Spirit! Matter, etc. This thesis examines the philosophies of Giles Deleuze, Luce Irigaray, Jacques Derrida and Theodor Adorno to see how they might enable us to re-conceptualise 'transcendence' and! or 'the divine' in this-worldly, immanent terms. Specifically, I look at Deleuze's reading of Spinoza, Jrigaray's notion of the 'sensible transcendental', Derrida's 'differance', and Adorno's 'negative dialectics' in order to assess whether these deliver an account of material immanence broadly characterised by the otherness and becoming of embodied life. Through a careful analysis of their arguments I hope to demonstrate that these thinkers are unable to successfully account for otherness within material immanence in the ways that they claim. In light of the difficulties ascertained in these 'immanentist' philosophies, I argue for what I call a 'strong' ontological realism with respect to upholding otherness within material immanence. Such a realist ontology, I maintain, is most successfully accounted for given the reality of divine transcendence conceived in a monotheistic sense. I thus urge for a reconsideration of a more traditional conception of divine transcendence as one that actually secures otherness or difference within the material world rather than negates this.

Cecília Meireles é escritora da vida, procurando descrever, de modo poético, a existência humana. No jogo de palavras-cifras, a autora busca encontrar respostas ou apontar caminhos às suas próprias indagações, que no fundo, são universais. Solombra é um dos veículos eleitos pela poetisa para esse desvelamento do ser. Desvelamento que é a ―síntese final e plena de toda a trajetória filosófica e mística idealizada muito antes de Viagem‖ pela autora, segundo Boberg (1989). Última obra ceciliana (1963) publicada em vida torna-se peculiar mesmo ao tratar de temas já caros à autora: estar-no-mundo, efemeridade, ser-para-amorte e angústia diante da vida. Solombra mostra o ser em conflito que, em oposição às situações concretas e angustiantes em que vive, vê a possibilidade de transcendência. Estes traços ―existenciais‖ são o que permeiam os objetivos desse estudo, uma vez que a poesia ceciliana possui a capacidade de colocar o ser em relação direta com o Ser, posição que outrora já fora privilegiada pelo Simbolismo, e que também está no filósofo Heidegger, que nos dá uma nova chave de leitura para os poemas. Preocupação é tirar da sombra à claridade os segredos. Isso se dá implicitamente, nos símbolos e enigmas que a escritora nos lança a todo o momento. Filosofia é apenas suporte teórico. A intenção primeira é fazer um estudo literário, ou seja, o suporte reflexivo do existencialismo é útil na medida em que amplia o horizonte do leitor e as possibilidades de leitura, além de mostrar um traço da modernidade de Cecília. Heidegger admite que a completa alétheia do ser se dá na linguagem poética, única autêntica para ele, por ser a ―casa do ser‖, ponto de partida para iluminação de toda existência e verdade. E a poesia ceciliana colabora nesse desvelamento
Cecília Meireles is a writer of life, who wants to describe, in a poetic way, the human existence. In her code words play, she search find answers or show ways to her own indagations, which are, actually, universal questions. Solombra is one of the vehicles elect by the poetess to that alétheia of being. That is ―the final and complete synthesis of the entire mystic and philosophical trajectory which was idealized by her still before Viagem‖, according Boberg (1989). Last cecilian work (1963) published in life, it becomes peculiar even when it treats beloved themes to her: being-in-the-world, ephemerality, being-to-thedeath and aguish in front of life. Solombra shows the being in conflict that, in opposition to the concrete and anguish situations in what it lives, sees the transcendence possibility. Those ―existential‖ treats are what permeate the objectives of this work, since poetry has the capacity of put the being in direct relation to the Being, position that in former times was privileged by Symbolism and that are also into Heidegger´s thoughts, who give us a new reading key to her poems. A preoccupation is bring out by shadows to the clarity the secrets. This is given implicitly, in symbols and enigmas that the writer cast to us all moments. The philosophy is just a theorical instrument. The first intention is realize a literary study, or better, the existentialism reflexive support is useful when amplify the reader horizon and the possibilities of reading, besides to show a Cecilia Meireles modern treat. Heidegger admits that the complete being alétheia happens in the poetry language, unique and authentic to him, because it the ―being house‖, start point to the illumination of all existence and truth. And the cecilian poetry collaborates in that clarification

Full textAbstract:
This thesis treats the phenomenon of Singing Experience. Its purpose is to reveal the content that constitutes the phenomenon of singing from the sing- ers’ point of view. Singing should be understood as a unique vocal expres- sion carried by tones in a form that is sonorous, alive and fluid. The singing is in the context of singing with others. In order to perform a study that aims to reveal content within a phenomenon, the study uses a phenomenological approach from a first-person perspective, which is also my own perspective as the singer as well as the researcher. The interest in the field has arisen from the experience of singing with people who do not seem to notice that they sing out of tune. This has led to the thoughts that the phenomenon of singing includes different contents for different people in different situations. The phenomenological methods provide cogitations to stretch the particular situated momentary experience into the sphere of the possible experience. In the thesis the result of this eidetic study is described with its general essence a “musical vocal confirmation of my existence in the world” as well as a description of the constitution of the phenomenon of singing. The descrip- tion of the phenomenon is a description of the essences of the lived-body, as well as the immanence of emotion and cogito. The description also includes the surrounding world, which harbours the dimension of the real as well as inter-subjective transcendence concerning time and space, humanity, music and the divine. All of the essences have shown to be essential essences of the experience of singing. This, however, is dependent on how the phenomenon of existence is regarded: to exist in a wide or a narrow sense, including or excluding the transcendent aspects of the phenomenon of singing.

Full textAbstract:
This feminist study examines women's use of improvisation in discovering, creating, and articulating various self-identities. To create a theory of identity formation, two feminist theoretical position, essentialism and poststructuralism, are analyzed and merged. This hybrid theory addresses the interplay between the self and society that women must recognize in order to form satisfying identities. Improvisational practices, involving bodily awareness and movement, are demonstrated to have the potential for helping women to actualize themselves in these various identities. For this study, the writer uses her experience as an improviser and interviews three women who use improvisation in their choreographic processes. She also discusses performers whom she has seen and performers about whom feminist performance critics have written. This study examines improvisation in dance and performance art from a feminist perspective. I clarify what improvisation entails and, by doing so, illustrate how improvisational movement in dance and performance art can enhance the lives of women as viewers and performers. Through exploring improvisation from this feminist perspective, I demonstrate the psychological insights I have gained from practicing improvisation and document performances that have been improvisationally inspired by women who feel dissatisfied with the manner in which this society shapes and limits their identities.

In this masters degree project I present costume as the main performer and look at the ability for my performance to create a transcendent experience in a secular art context. The paper will lift some of the historical and contemporary ideas about transcendence in art. I will argue that the singing voice can be used as an enchanting tool to create presence and communicate the inexplicable. By using my own practice as an example I present costume as the initiator and leading star of a performance. Finally, I give insight into the process and making of my master performance, A merging of Costumes, Voice & Transcendence.

Resumo: A presente dissertação de mestrado vem propor o estudo de uma hipótese, elaborada por Herbert Marcuse, de implementação de uma civilização não-repressiva, tendo em vista a importante problemática do progresso técnico científico como elemento que simultaneamente viabiliza e refreia a efetivação desta civilização. Marcuse partiu da asserção de Freud de que não pode haver civilização sem repressão, usando as próprias categorias (retomou a substância histórica destas) psicanalíticas do autor, para refutar tal sentença. Com o crescente desenvolvimento da tecnologia e da automação, Marcuse vê uma progressiva redução do tempo de trabalho humano necessário para a produção, o que torna a "mais-repressão" e o "princípio de desempenho" cada vez mais obsoletos. Eliminando-se a mais-repressão na sociedade industrial afluente, e por conseqüência, o trabalho alienado, os interesses de dominação não teriam mais espaço, o que, segundo Marcuse, abre o caminho para uma nova ordem não repressiva, organizada para a satisfação das necessidades de todos os indivíduos, no sentido de uma reconciliação entre o princípio de prazer e o princípio de realidade. O grande problema, entretanto, é que a própria automação da produção parece agir contra o espectro da libertação
Abstract: The current dissertation proposes working on a hypothesis elaborated by Herbert Marcuse, about foundation ot a non-repressive civilization from the freudian metapsychology, looking foward the view of the important dilemma of technician-scientific progress simultaneously viabilizing and retraining the effectivation of this civilization. Marcuse started from the Freud assertion that cannot exists civilization without repression, using the proper psychoanalistic categories (by retrieving his historical substance) ot the author in refuting such a sentence. From the ascending development of technology and automation, Marcuse see a progressive reduction of human working time needed to production, becoming the "surplusrepression" and the "performance principle" more and more obsolets. By eliminating the surplus-repression from the affluent industrial society, and consequently, the allienated work, the domination aims would not have yet space, thus, according Marcuse, opening path for a new non-repressive order, oriented to needs satisfaction of all individuais, in the mening of a reconciliation between of the pleasure principle and the reality principle. The big problem, however, is that the same production automations seams acts against the spectrum of liberty

Full textAbstract:
Kenneth Burke has been described as arguably the most important rhetorician and critical theorist of the twentieth century, and yet an important part of his scholarship has been generally overlooked by the academic community. The pentad has become the most prominent "Burkean" framework for analyzing texts, yet Kenneth Burke himself preferred "a more direct" way of approaching texts which he named "indexing." This thesis recreates this method from the pieces found in his scholarly writing, personal correspondence, and the papers his students produced for the class he taught at Bennington College. Kenneth Burke believed indexing could uncover the "pattern of experience" or "motivational structures" a text embodies, and thereby help people become aware of the persuasive power different texts have. The method of indexing has two parts: 1. Finding the implicit equations in a text, and 2. Tracking the hierarchies of terms and God-terms in those equations. Identifying equations in a text starts with finding "key terms" in a text, meaning terms which carry special significance as indicated by their intensity and frequency of usage. One then tracks the context of these terms throughout a text to find which other words frequently occur together with these words. The second step, tracking hierarchies of terms, is done by finding how the terms in the equations relate to each other in a hierarchy. We start with specific and move upward to more general terms. On the top of the pyramid we find the God-term, which is the driving motivation and ground of all possibility in the text. Kenneth Burke hoped his method of indexing could help us understand the power language and motivational structures have to drive human action, and that we could question our own motivational structure as well as that of others and of the communities we operate in.

Full textAbstract:
The starting premise of this dissertation is that the formal techniques of comedy make the comic novel a distinct form within the category of the novel, not just in terms of content, the way one novelistic genre is distinct from another, but also in terms of form, similar to the way poetry is distinct from prose. The argument is that the formal structures of comedy, such as set-ups, punchlines, and comic rhythm, combine to constitute a formally rigorous, almost rule-bound art form. These techniques are explored through close readings of various 20th century comic novels, in particular Voyage au bout de la nuit by Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Le Sabotage amoureux by Amélie Nothomb, Moskva-Pethushki by Venedikt Erofeev and Catch-22 Joseph Heller.
The further extension of this argument is that these formal structures create certain fundamental characteristics the comic novel, which in turn instantiate spiritual and emotional functions of the comedy on a structural level. The most important of these functions are that comedy serves creates a sudden, epiphanic awareness of reality, a sense of self-transcendence, and an instant bond between people. Finally, the dissertation considers the limitations of these functions. For example, comedy creates awareness of that which was previously latently grasped, but rarely substantively new knowledge. The sense of self-transcendence it is real but momentary, fleeting. And the connection it fosters between people is instant but limited by its own basic impersonality.

Thesis advisor: Jeffrey BloechlThis dissertation examines the relationship between the experience of beauty and intuitions of transcendence. The first two chapters explore the role that natural beauty plays in humans’ existential ruminations, finding an intimate connection between beauty and belief in transcendent realities. The final three chapters examine the post-WWII turn away from beauty in fine art, and argue that this turn is intimately connected with a broader turn away from transcendent horizons in the wake of the second World War, e.g. that seen in Rawlsian Liberalism. Finally, an argument is developed that a culture without transcendence and beauty is unlikely to thrive in the long run, and so the postwar turn against same should be carefully, soberly abandoned

Full textAbstract:
Vodou, the religious tradition of Haiti, has been maligned throughout history. However, a growing interest in Afro-Caribbean religions is carving out new avenues of access to this formerly secret and subjugated religion. Altered States: Travel, Transcendence and Technology in Contemporary Vodou is an ethnographic study of Vodou in North America that documents the shifting boundaries between a religion and its representations as it gains contemporary popularity. Contemporary Vodou communities are filled with practitioners who have consciously sought out new religious experiences and allegiances. This text charts their journey to and from Vodou. Altered States examines how Vodou practitioners navigate popular representations and commodification of the religion; how the cosmology of the religion absorbs and incorporates new technology and media practices; and how media practices and representations alters the constitution and constituents of the Vodou religion. The work contributes to an understanding of the shifts in identification and signification engendered by the intersection of religion, communication technologies, media representation and cultural commodification.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an enquiry into the Marquis de Sade, his writing and the perversion known as sadism. The narrower focus of this thesis investigates the problem of the meeting of violence and language in Sade's novels and the implications for cinema. The procedure has been to adopt the Critical and Clinical approach to philosophy that brings together both the literary style of Sade and the clinical symptoms of sadism. This method canvasses a number of Sades novels to consider the psychoanalytical definition of sadism before moving on to discuss the expression of sadism through language. Finally, the model of sadism and language is then applied to a number of films to discuss how violence within the context of sadism functions through language within cinema. The general results show how speech and action can be defined as equivalent forms of sadian violence when expressed through language in both literature and cinema. This occurs, furthermore, through the transcendent model of violence where both speech and action refer to a higher order of violence and this is put at the service of the senses through language. The major conclusions reached suggest that language in literature and cinema can be a demonstrative form of the higher order of violence. Sadism draws out the violence and excess of the world by reflecting it within language. In doing so, violence is designated with a quality of the erotic through this excess. Finally, each act of violence within literature and cinema is an attempt to overcome taboos through transgression. The breaking of a taboo creates an amount of excess but also reinstates the taboo in what becomes an empty act of transgression. The excess is expressed through violence within language and deed according to a transcendent function of language in literature and cinema.

Carnal transcendence and sexual difference -- An amorous exchange -- Angels playing with placentas -- Fluid subjects -- Poetics -- Oneiric spaces -- Conclusion.
Carnal transcendence imagines a world in which the carnal has the weight and value of transcendence, and the divine is as liveable and readily evoked as the carnal. Carnal transcendence offers a means of thinking through difference in the work of Luce Irigaray, who asks: "why and how long ago did God withdraw from carnal love?" (1991a, p 16). This thesis argues that Irigaray enables her readers to explore the relationship between carnality, transcendence and difference, but resists elaborating it in her work. Carnal transcendence as difference risks remaining an exercise in rhetoric, rather than the transformative and creative philosophy that Irigaray imagines. -- Irigaray's resistance to the carnal is evident in her arguments for sexual difference, which offers our "salvation" if we think it through, and heralds "a new age of thought, art, poetry, and language: the creation of a new poetics" (1993a, p 5). Note the language of transcendence used here. When considered in the light of carnal transcendence, sexual difference imagines a differently sexed culture. This thesis argues that Irigaray's writing is contradictory on this point: it articulates the plurality of women's sexuality, but emphatically excludes theories of sex and gender that emphasise multiplicity. This thesis challenges these limitations by exploring the possibilities of the "other" couple in Irigaray's writing-mother and daughter - for thinking through carnal transcendence as difference. -- This thesis not only explicates a theoretical model for carnal transcendence as difference; it also attempts to put into practice a poetics - a playful rewriting of theory. This celebrates the carnality of Irigaray's writing - evident in her complex imagery of the two lips, mucus, the placenta and angels-and enables an exploration of the philosophical space of the "new poetics" that Irigaray is attempting to engender.

Heldt, Caleb. "Dialectic and caesura : immanence and transcendence in Sartre's ontology." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2011. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/47705/.
Full textAbstract:
The following is a study of Jean-Paul Sartre’s ontology of conscious awareness. Ontology, for Sartre, consists in the delineation of the constituent elements, structures and dimensions of Being as well as the way in which such constituent features interact within the ekstatic dynamics of the lived experience of the being for whom such ontological features are capable of becoming phenomena of possible awareness. Sartre’s methodology, then, is manifold. The ontological project which Sartre undertakes to develop is at once transcendental, phenomenological and dialectical. It is transcendental inasmuch as it is a theory of the way in which phenomena become experientially possible for a being whose primary existential mode of conscious awareness is as an act of immanent self-relation, as pure auto-affection, and is capable of divesting itself of its modality of active self-affective immanence in constituting for itself a particular phenomenon transcendent to itself. This is to say that what Sartre refers to as pure or transcendental consciousness is capable of dissolving its primordial mode of autoaffective immanent self-awareness in the intentional (or, attentional) act whereby a choice is made to privilege a given phenomenon from amongst the otherwise undifferentiated multiplicity of the conscious existent’s (auto-)affective conscious awareness in order to become conscious of something which is not itself and from which the act of consciousness differentiates itself as not being, whether this privileged phenomenon is ekstatic or extensive, whether it is chosen from the otherwise undifferentiated virtual multiplicity of this conscious existent’s own psychic pastness (or possible future) or from the indifferent multiplicity of worldly actuality. In either case, whether the privileged phenomenon of intentional awareness is egological or material, of the psyche or of the world, the noematic correlate of conscious attention (the explicit or thetic phenomenon of intentional awareness) is transcendent to transcendental consciousness. It is in the investigation of such phenomena that Sartre’s ontology manifests itself as phenomenological. However, for Sartre, such awareness is by no means static, and it is through the ekstatic dynamization of the constituent features of conscious awareness that the transcendental and phenomenological methodologies of Sartre’s ontology of lived experience ultimately prove to be dialectical. Every moment of conscious awareness must, for Sartre, be both surpassed and preserved. Every moment of awareness, with its transcendent dimensions of virtuality and actuality and the auto-affective immanence upon which they depend, reveal themselves as intimately related, then, to memorial dynamics, dynamics which Sartre did little to explicitly develop but upon which an adequate understanding of his ontology depends and which will ultimately ground any investigation of what we might call an existential epistemology.

Full textAbstract:
We investigate a class of minimal sequences on a finite alphabet Ak = {1,2,...,k} having (k - 1)n + 1 distinct subwords of length n. These sequences, originally defined by P. Arnoux and G. Rauzy, are a natural generalization of binary Sturmian sequences. We describe two simple combinatorial algorithms for constructing characteristic Arnoux-Rauzy sequences (one of which is new even in the Sturmian case). Arnoux-Rauzy sequences arising from fixed points of primitive morphisms are characterized by an underlying periodic structure. We show that every Arnoux-Rauzy sequence contains arbitrarily large subwords of the form V^2+ε and, in the Sturmian case, arbitrarily large subwords of the form V^3+ε. Finally, we prove that an irrational number whose base b-digit expansion is an Arnoux-Rauzy sequence is transcendental.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates Heidegger's concept of freedom between 1927 and 1930. In it, I argue that Heidegger advocates a radical reinvention of the positive concept of freedom in confrontation with Immanuel Kant and Henri Bergson. I also argue, against the grain of recent literature, that this conception remains the same as it is found in Being and Time and in the key texts concerning freedom from the period immediately after its publication: 'The Essence of Ground' [WG], Metaphysical Foundations of Logic [GA26], The Essence of Human Freedom [GA31], and 'On the Essence of Truth' [WW]. In Chapter 1, I interpret the argument of the lecture course The Essence of Human Freedom as Heidegger's attempt to dismiss the question of the freedom of the will. In doing so, I argue, he critically repeats the arguments that Bergson provides in Time and Free Will. In Chapter 2, I turn to Being and Time to follow the thread of Heidegger's argument, leading to the claim that Dasein is fundamentally free but, as inauthentic, also typically unfree. In Chapter 3 I investigate this apparent paradox further, showing that Heidegger, without using the term, is advocating a positive, rather than a negative, conception of unfreedom in evaluating inauthentic Dasein as unfree. In Chapter 4, I show how this positive conception also arrives as a critical confrontation with Kant and Bergson, where authenticity is conceived as Dasein's being-its-self in an ontological sense. In Chapter 5, I build on the above to demonstrate that the arguments in Being and Time concerning guilt, the arguments in WG and GA26 concerning transcendence, and the arguments in WW concerning truth all complement each other in a single concept of freedom: Dasein's being its self by choosing to be the ground of its world, rather than fleeing from this existential responsibility.

Lo, Polito Nicholas. "Abd Al-Karim Al-Jili : tawhid, transcendence and immanence." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2010. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/1193/.
Full textAbstract:
The present thesis is an attempt to understand Abd Al-Karim Al-Jili’s thought and to illustrate his original contribution to the development of medieval Islamic mysticism. In particular, it maintains that far from being an obscure disciple of Ibn Arabi, Al-Jili was able to overcome the apparent contradiction between the doctrinal assumption of a transcendent God and the perception of divine immanence intrinsic in God’s relational stance vis-à-vis the created world. To achieve this, this thesis places Al-Jili historically and culturally within the Sufi context of eighth-ninth/fourteenth-fifteenth centuries Persia, describing the world in which he lived and the influence of theological and philosophical traditions on his writings, both from within and without the Islamic world. A whole chapter is dedicated to the definition of the controversies that afflicted Islamic theology and philosophy over the issue of anthropomorphic representations of God and the relevance that this had on the subject of divine immanence and transcendence. Al-Jili’s original contribution to this discussion, summarised in the concept of the Perfect Human Being, is illustrated with the editing and translation of one of Al-Jili’s works, The Cave and the Inscription, followed by annotations to the book.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the significance of the Church's experience of transcendence in the theologies of Robert W. Jenson (b. 1930) and Alexander Schmemann (1921-1983). Both theologians emphasize the indispensable role of eschatology for Christian theology, but they offer strikingly different accounts of what that means. Following an introductory chapter, the first half of the thesis (chapters 2-4) clarifies the loss of transcendence by following Jenson's and Schmemann's respective theological diagnoses of the chief problems facing the Church in the late-modern West. Jenson argues that a long hidden error in the ontology of the doctrine of God is the underlying cause of the nihilism pervading Western culture. Schmemann perceives secularism as the pervasive cultural backdrop to Christian faith in the West, identifying the betrayal of the Orthodox Church's liturgical experience of the Kingdom of God as the chief culprit. By placing their critiques in dialog with one another I further trace the mutually diagnosed problem of the Church's debilitated eschatology to underlying problems in received ontologies of transcendence. The second half of the thesis (chapters 5-7) explores Jenson's and Schmemann's theological proposals for rehabilitating eschatology. Jenson revises the ontology of God to more adequately fit the God identified by the gospel. His narratival ontology enables him to conceptualize God's transcendence in terms of triune faithfulness through time rather than in metaphysical immunity to time. Schmemann retrieves a symbolic ontology in order to affirm the sacramentality of the world by which God's transcendence can be mystically experienced in the Church's liturgical worship. I argue that Jenson's theological rejection of timelessness rests upon historicist assumptions which Schmemann's eschatological theory has resources to withstand and that, furthermore, theology should preserve apophatic humility rooted in the aseity of God rather than historicize the doctrine of God as Jenson proposes.
