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

The Gospel of Thomas and the earliest texts of the synoptic gospels
No full textResearch on the Gospel of Thomas in the last quarter of a
century has made it clear that the origins of this apocryphal gospel
cannot
be
satisfactorily explained from a single point of view. The
author thus suggests that Thomas
be
understood as a growing collection
of sayings which originated in various places and languages, with some
logia being added to the collection after its inception. While this
suggestion is by no means new, there have been few extensive attempts
to study Thomas from such a presupposition.
Due to the need for a control group, only the logia which have
rather close parallels to the Synoptic gospels are investigated. Verbal and textual affinities are noted between these logia and the earliest texts of the Gospels (the Coptic versions, the Diatessaron, the
Old Syriac version, and other early versions and Christian writings).
Various degrees of probable contact between each logion and these
texts are assigned.
The results of this study give some idea as to the place of
origin, the original language, and the approximate date at which certain logia were added to the collection. Those sayings which show a
closer affinity to the Diatessaron, the Old Syriac version, or other
Syrian writings may
be
considered as having been added to the sayings
collection as it circulated in its earliest form, possibly in a Semitic language. Other logia which show no signs of awareness of a
Syrian reading, but which are similar to variants found in the Coptic
versions or other Egyptian texts, may well have originated in Egypt
and been added to the collection at a later stage. These results,
however, must await verification by those who might approach Thomas
from related, but different, perspectives

"The Economics of Outsourcing: How Should Policy Respond?"
No full textAccording to Research Associate Thomas A. Palley, global outsourcing represents a new economic challenge that calls for a new set of institutions. In this brief, he expands upon the problems of offshore outsourcing as outlined in Public Policy Brief no. 86 and focuses on the microeconomic foundations. He argues that outsourcing is a central element of globalization that is best understood as a new form of competition. Palley urges policymakers to understand the economic basis of outsourcing in order to develop effective policies, and suggests that they focus on enhancing national competitiveness and establishing new rules that govern the nature of global competition.
