O contrato social de Thomas Hobbes: alcances e limites
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em FilosofiaO problema em questão diz respeito ao contrato que funda e legitima o Estado em Thomas Hobbes. Tendo como escopo questionar a possibilidade e/ou impossibilidade de nulidade do contrato social e assim verificar as implicações disto para o conceito de soberania hobbesiana. A leitura que impera na tradição de estudiosos da obra política de Hobbes, em especial do Leviathan, é a de um Estado no qual a soberania é absoluta e irrevogável. A interpretação do contrato firmado entre e, somente, entre os homens, deixando, portanto, o soberano de fora, ofereceria legitimidade a este para agir de forma absoluta e obrigaria ao súdito a obedecer de forma irrestrita. A hipótese que se busca sustentar remete à possibilidade de rompimento, desobediência e mais centralmente da nulidade contratual a partir do vício e/ou desrespeito de determinadas cláusulas fundamentais do contrato, visto se oporem às condições de validade do contrato social. Se isso puder ser sustentado desse modo, isto é, se Hobbes compartilhar mesmo de uma teoria forte da nulidade contratual e pela razão, como declinado acima, que achamos ser a correta, então, tal formulação implicaria em sua teoria uma reconsideração do conceito de soberania e obediência, haja vista o estabelecimento de certos vínculos fortes que condicionam as possibilidades de exigência, autoridade e poder da soberania. Portanto, concentra-se em encontrar uma explicação e/ou teorização da nulidade do contrato social e da sua consequência para a teoria da soberania e obediência hobbesiana

Judicial relations between England and the Papacy before the Reformation: an appeal to the Rota, 1511-1514
No full textAn appeal to the Roman Rota launched in 1511 may seem unusual in the reign of Henry VIII because of the Statute of Praemunire, especially when the case involved prelates close to the crown. Two Statutes of Praemunire (1353 and 1393) had forbidden appeal of cases to the pope over royal objections or recognizing papal judicial authority as superior to the king’s. These statutes of Edward III and Richard II respectively had aimed at limiting papal power in England, as did the several fourteenth-century statutes against papal provisions to English benefices. A Writ of Praemunire was available in cases of illicit appeals. However, the Statute and Writ seem to have fallen into disuse by early Tudor times except as a means of exacting payments from clerics. The case discussed in this article shows a dispute being appealed to the Roman Rota early in the reign of Henry VIII, with the king intervening late in the proceedings without employing a Writ of Praemunire. Nothing was said by the king denying the bishops involved the right to appeal to Rome. This suggests that the Statute of Praemunire was revived as a political device to bring down Cardinal Wolsey in 1529, possibly on the advice of his enemies. Then it was used to promote the King’s Great Matter and used soon thereafter to force the English clergy to accept the Royal Supremacy

The fiction of Christopher Isherwood: personality as form
No full textFew writers illustrate more clearly than Christopher Isherwood the problem of separating an author from his work. It is true that autobiographical writers invite an interest which may not be always strictly literary: while speaking in their own persons, or employing a thinly disguised narrator, they bring the art of fiction close to the intimacy of the letter or journal and the fact/fiction transaction in such work is itself a dramatic element. But when the end of autobiographical fiction is confession, it serves as therapy, not art, and the reader\u27s interest is essentially pathological.
Isherwood\u27s fiction is open to this charge of confession, at least in its superficial aspects. In Lions and Shadows (1938), he wrote of his fascination with “the career of the neurotic hero,” or “Truly Weak Man (128), and this volume reveals (as it is clearly intended to reveal) the extent to which the Truly Weak Man is a continuing and evolving emblem for Isherwood himself, even to the point of carrying his name. William Bradshaw, and “Christopher Isherwood,” court the danger of reducing fiction to the confession of neurotic evidences.
ln the most fundamental sense, however, Isherwood and his Truly Weak Man are eternally separate, their apparent identity simply a matter of rhetoric. For Isherwood\u27s predominant theme throughout his writing life has been self-consciousness and self-definition, the stripping-away of neurotic masks and poses in an effort to achieve final honesty and “cure.” From All The Conspirators (1928) to his latest novel, A Meeting By The River (1967), True Weakness has been expressed through mask and concealment. By using the fiction of authorial confession, Isherwood has dramatized the urgency of the hero\u27s search for honesty. The personality of the author is offered as a token of commitment. For a writer to use his own name in fiction is an act of high risk; it proclaims self-consciousness to the highest degree. At the same time, the opportunity is provided for what is a further extension of the quest for naked identity: in effect, the author is able to imply the limits to confession in his personae. As Isherwood\u27s case makes clear, the very act of authorial selection involves some reticences. Thus Isherwood and “Isherwood” are engaged in a reciprocal exchange. What is not confessed in the persona is by choice of the author; the apparent honesty of confessional fiction must be tested against authorial concealment. When the authorial personality is deliberately made intrusive, the irony persists that the autobiographical persona can be merely a new mask for the neurotic self–not a symbol of strenuous honesty at all, but a subtle attempt to mask and conceal through the illusion of confession
