Normative reconstruction and social character of freedom in Axel Honneth
No full textO presente objeto de pesquisa busca proceder ao estudo e identificação dos traços essenciais envolvidos na abordagem teórica das relações sociais e políticas trazidas na obra O Direito da Liberdade do filósofo alemão Axel Honneth. Faz-se uma análise da influência hegeliana sobre o conceito de liberdade, assim como dos fatores relacionados com o suprimento das carências subjetivas, mediadas pelas diferentes “esferas” sociais. Honneth, assim, procura trazer à tona a compreensão de um novo modelo de liberdade advindo da Filosofia do Direito de Hegel, o qual se distingue substancialmente dos modelos tradicionais. O autor busca evidenciar a limitação das teorias da justiça de tradição liberal, invocando a necessidade de uma visão integrada das relações sociais experimentadas nas esferas referidas por Hegel, concebendo-se uma experiência concreta de liberdade social. Nesse sentido, evidencia-se o caráter interdisciplinar e emancipatório do método de reconstrução normativa como base teórica para a justificação pública nas sociedades modernas.This research object aims to study and identify the essential traits involved in the theoretical approach of social and political relations brought in the work Freedom’s Right by the german philosopher Axel Honneth. It analyses the hegelian influence on the concept of freedom, as well as the factors related to the supply of subjective needs, mediated by the different social "spheres". Honneth thus seeks to bring to light the understanding of a new model of freedom stemming from Hegel’s Philosophy of Law, which differs substantially from traditional models. The author seeks to highlight the limitation of liberal theories of justice, invoking the need for an integrated view of the social relations experienced in the spheres referred to by Hegel, conceiving a concrete experience of social freedom. In this sense, the interdisciplinary and emancipatory character of the normative reconstruction method is evidenced, as a theorical basis for public justification in modern societies
Studying flexibility in modularisable vehicle systems
No full textSome systems continue working under partial failure; errors can be made in assessing the performance of such systems if static measures are used. Systems that appear to be equal on the basis of idealised data can perform differently under component loss. For some system features, such as component modularity, the evidence of benefits, based on static measures, is equivocal. We propose that a modular design will perform better than a nonmodular design under component loss. We consider two systems, each designed to a particular budget and completely effective over all variations contained in the design context. One of the systems has modular components. We use the mission criticality model to assess the benefits of introducing this component modularity and compare the results with a related static assessment. When demands are variable, the modular system is superior under component loss, due to its greater component redundancy.

A LIBERDADE REFLEXIVA SEGUNDO AXEL HONNETH / REFLECTIVE FREEDOM ACCORDING TO AXEL HONNETH
No full textO presente artigo dedica-se ao estudo do modelo de liberdade reflexiva segundo o pensamento de Axel Honneth, exposto no capítulo A.II (A Liberdade Reflexiva e sua Concepção de Justiça) da obra Direito da Liberdade, realizado através do método hipotético-dedutivo e da técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica, a fim de verificar porque a reflexão do indivíduo realizada sobre os seus próprios atos e guiada apenas por suas intenções não representa o modelo orientador da concepção de justiça proposto pelo autor.The present article intends to study the model of reflective freedom according to the thought of Axel Honneth, exposed in chapter A.II (The Reflective Freedom and its Conception of Justice) of the work Law of Freedom, realized through the hypothetic-deductive method and the bibliographical technique research, in order to verify why the individual reflection carried out on his own acts and guided only by his intentions does not represent the guiding model of the conception of justice proposed by the author
Projection methods and scenarios for public and private pension information
No full textPublic pensions – the primary pillar of old-age income provision – will, in the future, be less generous than they have been in the past, in particular owing to the impact of demographic change. The pension gap is supposed to be plugged by the second and third pillars of pension provision. However, people require reliable planning information if they are to exercise greater individual responsibility. It is therefore absolutely essential that adequate information is made available about the level of pension benefits that will be generated by each pillar of old-age pension provision. This paper outlines a number of different means of presenting the level of future pensions and the assumptions on which such extrapolations are necessarily based. Our work is based on an assumed average rate of inflation of 1.5% and an average rate of real income growth not exceeding 1.5%. This last figure is derived from calculations made in the framework of a macroeconomic simulation model. This model also shows that while the funded pillar of oldage pension provision is not entirely immune to population aging, it is not substantially threatened by a substantial decrease in stock market prices, the so-called “asset meltdown”.
