La filosofía del derecho de Alexandre Kojève
No full textThis article is a presentation of Alexandre Kojève’s philosophy of law, exposed in his Esquisse d’une phénoménologie du droit (1981). Little attention has been paid to this work. So there is a gap that has to be filled with a critical reflection of its strengths. Among them, undoubtedly, we count the fact that Kojève is introducing a conception of international justice that casts a singular light on current debates about cosmopolitanism and globalization. According to this author, citizenship is the key element of the process of global expansion of the juridical sphere. In sum, Kojève’s philosophy is useful to reflect upon the contrast between the juridical and the political, which is the basis for all philosophy of law, in order to achieve world peace and international justice.Este artículo es una presentación de la filosofía del derecho de Alexandre Kojève contenida en su Esquisse d’une phénoménologie du droit (1981). La poca atención que dicha obra ha recibido es un vacío que debiera llenarse con una reflexión crítica de sus puntos fuertes. Entre ellos destaca una concepción de la justicia internacional que proyecta una luz muy singular sobre los actuales debates en torno a la globalización y el cosmopolitismo. A ojos de este autor, la ciudadanía es el elemento clave para aquilatar la expansión global de lo jurídico. En suma, Kojève aparece como un valioso referente en la labor de pensar la contraposición entre lo jurídico y lo político que está en la base de toda filosofía del derecho, con la aspiración al logro de la justicia internacional y la paz mundial en el horizonte
Reconfiguração do consensualismo contratual: as ações tituladas nominativas e os limites à transmissão
No full textPartimos da evolução histórica do consensualismo contratual salientando os
principais carateres que, nos diversos momentos históricos, se foram evidenciando.
Numa segunda etapa exploramos os fundamentos dogmáticos do modelo de
transmissão contratual assumido pelo legislador e a sua viabilidade no sistema
jurídico global, em particular, no direito dos valores mobiliários. Constatamos a
crescente necessidade na prática mercantil e inevitabilidade no sistema jurídico
global da admissibilidade da existência de contratos de compra e venda de natureza
meramente obrigacional. Num terceiro momento desenvolvemos os principais
aspetos do regime jurídico aplicável às ações tituladas nominativas fora do mercado
regulado, em particular, os principais limites à transmissão, enquanto instrumentos/barreiras ao consensualismo contratual.We start from the historical evolution of contractual consensualism emphasizing the
main aspects that, in different historical moments, were showing up. In a second
stage we explore the dogmatic foundations of the transmission model contractual
assumed by the legislator and its viability in the global legal system, in particular, in
securities law. We note the growing need in commercial practice and inevitability in
the global legal system the admissibility of the existence of contracts of sale purely
obligatory. In the third stage we develop the main aspects of the legal regime
applicable to nominative titled actions outside the regulated market, in particular,
the main limits to the transmission, as instruments / barriers to contractual
consensualism
“Era por Alexandre tod’esto demostrado”: ¿pruebas verídicas y pruebas engañosas en el Libro de Alexandre?
No full textEl Libro de Alexandre es un texto de s. XIII, que se escribió en la España medieval. En este escrito, el autor pretende demostrar que, en el Alexandre, algunas de las situaciones que se ponen a prueba son aceptadas, pero eso no significa que el macedonio gane la prueba. El articulo esta dividido en tres apartados. En el primero, el autor da cuenta de la historia textual de la obra y también dedica ciertas líneas al Estado de la cuestión del texto; mientras que, en la segunda parte, nos guía a conceptos etimológicos de los términos prueba, evidencia y demás. En el tercer apartado se centra en algunas pruebas expuestas en el Libro de Alexandre.The Libro de Alexandre is a literary work, written during the medieval Spain. In this paper, the author tries to demonstrate that, carefully reading the L.A, some of the situations that are set as proves are accepted, but it does not mean that Alexander can be a victor. This paper is divided in three sections: firstly, the author tells the textual history of the L.A and, then, tries to update the State of art: on the other hand, in the second part, the author offers meanings about terms as: prueba and evidencia. Finally, the author focuses on certain passages contained in the Libro de Alexandre that can be taken as failed proves
Mixing the Immiscible: Improvisation within Fixed-Media Composition
No full textThis paper will explore ways in which mastered improvisation practice, with the studio as an instrument, is a proposed avenue to bridge the historical dichotomy between what Ted Gioia describe as ‘the aesthetics of perfection’ and ‘the aesthetics of imperfection’. It is proposed as a way to re-embody fixed music, as experimented by the author through the composition of his last fixed-media work. This will be put in the context of a wider trend observed amongst the current emerging generation of composers interested in the aesthesics of the work, by opposition to the previous generations that placed the value of the work in its poietics. The vital and primal importance of practice outcome as practice-based research’s main document will also be advocated for, as these trends are happening in the laboratory of live music

La Clerecía de "Alexandre"
No full textEl artículo reflexiona sobre la educación que recibe Alexandre “El grande” a manos de su profesor Aristóteles, retratado en el “Libro de Alexandre”; a continuación analiza las disciplinas que compusieron dicho programa con el interés de proponer una interpretación de la lista de las siete artes liberales mencionadas. Este artículo ofrece una visión de las diferentes maneras en las que los textos reflejan la “clerecía” del protagonista así como de otros personajes, incluyendo el anónimo autor de los mismos. Cualquiera que se dedique a las mencionadas artes liberales será glorificado y Alexandre se presenta él mismo como modelo ideal de un príncipe en quien la nobleza y al inteligencia van unidas, una defensa clara de la “clerecía” como fuente fundamental de toda excelencia. This article deals with the education imparted on Alexander the Great by Aristotles, as portrayed in the “Libro de Alexandre”, analyzes the disciplines and proposes an interpretation of the list of the seven liberal arts mentioned therein. This article also offers an encompassing view of the different ways in which the text reflects the “clerecía2 of the protagonist as well as that of the other characters, including the anonymous author himself. Anyone who dedicates him or herself to the aforementioned liberal arts is thereby glorified, and Alexander presents himself as the ideal model of a prince in whom nobility and cleverness are joined, in a clear defense of the “clerecía” as the fundamental source of all excellence
The monarchy of Portugal in Alexandre Herculano's work
No full textA pesquisa A Monarquia Portuguesa na Obra de Alexandre Herculano analisa a construção do modelo ideal de monarca por Alexandre Herculano, com especial ênfase na produção histórica em que os monarcas portugueses foram retratados com maior riqueza de detalhes e analisados de forma mais criteriosa. A pesquisa se dá a partir da conjuntura histórica portuguesa marcada pelo estabelecimento do Estado Liberal e pelos debates entre os diferentes grupos políticos em que a participação dos intelectuais é um ponto relevante. No tocante a Alexandre Herculano, o envolvimento do autor em diversas polêmicas e articulações políticas é uma evidência da importância e da atuação da intelligentsia na sociedade portuguesa do século XIX. Ao lado da conjuntura histórica na qual a obra de Herculano foi produzida, o universo conceitual forjado pelo autor com fundamento nos pressupostos teóricos e políticos também foi contemplado, pois o modelo de monarca construído pelo autor foi elaborado a partir deste universo conceitual que, conforme os pressupostos teóricos empregados nesta pesquisa atuam e interferem nos debates contemporâneos à obra.The research The Portuguese Monarchy in Alexandre Herculanos work analyses the building of the monarchs ideal model (by Alexandre Herculano) especially focusing on the historical production on which the Portuguese monarchs were detailedly portrayed and discerningly analysed. Considering the Portuguese historical conjuncture marked not only by the establishment of the Liberal State but also by the debates among the different political groups in which the intellectuals partaking is relevant. Concerning Alexandre Herculano, the authors involvement in several debates and political articulations is an evidence of the intelligentsias outstanding role in the Portuguese society of the nineteenth century. Along with the historical context in which Herculanos work was produced, the conceptual universe created by the author reasoned on theoretical and political assumptions was also considered because the monarchs model built by the author was created from this universe of concepts that, according to the theoretical assumptions used in this research, act and expand their sphere of influence towards the contemporary debates to his work
A comparison of the images of women in selected works by Moliere and Alexandre Dumas, fils, 1978
No full textThe purpose of studying these two dramatists is to discover, to analyze and to compare the female characters in their respective plays. By so doing, the author wishes to discern their Ideas, attitudes and prejudices concerning women. The study is presented in four chapters. The introduction, which is Chapter I, presents the lives and works of Moliere and Alexandre Dumas, fils. Details of their personal life histories are given so that the reader can more fully understand the influence of the society in which they lived upon their work. Chapter II represents a study of the images of women in Moliere's theater. In this chapter one finds that females, in general, are presented as having intelligence, wit and high moral standards. In many instances women are shown to surpass men in these areas. The third chapter discusses the images of women as presented in selected plays by Alexandre Dumas, fils. It deals with Dumas's depiction of women as inferior to man in every aspect of their physical, mental and moral being. The fourth chapter is a comparison of both authors' ideas concerning the mental and moral status of women. Their ideas regarding a woman's place in marriage and society are presented. The conclusion is that Moliere, quite lenient and fair in his portrayals, fills the stage with delightful images of noble women of his era, while Dumas paints a very dismal and discouraging image of the woman of his day
Decision support for response selection in maritime law enforcement
No full textThesis (Dphil)--Stellenbosch University, 2016.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the context of maritime law enforcement (MLE), a human operator is typically required to make a variety of counter-threat decisions following the detection and evaluation of threats at sea.
These decisions reside within a so-called response selection process during which MLE resources,
such as patrol vessels, military vessels and armed helicopters, have to be dispatched to intercept
maritime vessels that are deemed potential threats. Because the number of potential maritime
threats can be overwhelming and the nature of the decision process is typically complex, the
quality of resource assignment decisions can be improved signi cantly by providing maritime
operators with computerised decision support.
A generic, semi-automated MLE response selection and resource routing decision support system
(DSS) is designed in this dissertation. This DSS is capable of assisting human operators in
spatio-temporal resource dispatch decision making so that MLE resources may be employed
effectively and efficiently. These decisions are made based on kinematic vessel-related data
obtained from associated threat detection and threat evaluation systems, as well as subjective
input data contributed by MLE response selection operators. Fully automated decision making
is therefore not pursued; the aim of this study is to establish a support tool for an operator.
Multiple response selection objectives are accommodated in the proposed DSS in a generic
manner, so as to provide users of the system with the freedom of con guring their own, preferred
goals. This generic DSS design is populated with examples of models capable of performing the
functions of the various constituent parts of the system, and their workability is tested and
demonstrated by solving the MLE response selection problem in the context of two realistic, but
simulated, MLE scenarios.
The MLE DSS proposed in this dissertation may be used in future to assist maritime operators
in their complex decision making processes. In particular, operators may use it as a guideline to
validate and/or justify their decisions, especially when the level of uncertainty pertaining to the
observed maritime scenario is high and/or only parts of the problem may be resolved by hand.
Use of this system in a real-world context is expected to reduce the stress levels of operators
typically associated with diffcult decisions, while simultaneously improving the overall quality
of MLE decisions in an integrated fashion.AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die konteks van maritieme wetstoepassing (MWT) word daar tipies van 'n menslike operateur
verwag om, in reaksie op die opsporing en evaluering van maritieme bedreigings, 'n verskeidenheid
besluite te neem waarvolgens hierdie bedreigings geneutraliseer kan word. Hierdie besluite
vind plaas binne 'n sogenaamde MWT-responsseleksieproses waartydens MWT-hulpbronne, soos
patrolliebote, milit^ere skepe en gewapende helikopters, ontplooi moet word om maritieme vaartuie
wat as bedreigings beskou word, te onderskep. Aangesien die aantal potensi ele maritieme
bedreigings oorweldigend kan wees en die aard van die MWT-besluitnemingsproses tipies kompleks
is, kan die kwaliteit van hulpbrontoedelingsbesluite noemenswaardig verhoog word deur
maritieme operateurs met gerekenariseerde besluitsteun te bedien.
'n Generiese, gedeeltelik ge-outomatiseerde besluitsteunstelsel (BSS) word in hierdie dissertatie
vir MWT-responsseleksie en hulpbronroetering ontwerp. Hierdie BSS is daartoe in staat om
menslike operateurs met e ektiewe en doeltre ende besluitsteun in terme van die ontplooiing van
MWT-hulpbronne oor tyd en ruimte te bedien. Hierdie besluite word gemaak gebaseer op kinematiese
vaartuigdata wat vanuit gepaardgaande BSSe vir bedreigingsopsporing en bedreigingsafskatting
verkry word, sowel as subjektiewe toevoerdata vanaf MWT-responsseleksie operateurs.
Ten volle ge-outomatiseerde besluitneming word dus nie nagestreef nie; die doel van
hierdie studie is om 'n steunstelsel vir 'n menslike operateur daar te stel.
'n Verskeidenheid responsseleksiedoele word in die voorgestelde BSS op 'n generiese wyse geak
kommodeer om sodoende aan gebruikers die vryheid te bied om hul eie voorkeurdoele te spesi
seer. Hierdie generiese BSS-ontwerp word vergesel met voorbeelde van modelle waarvolgens
die verskeie funksionaliteite van die onderskeie stelselkomponente gerealiseer kan word, en hulle
werkbaarheid word aan die hand van twee realistiese, maar gesimuleerde, MWT-scenarios getoets
en gedemonstreer.
Die MWT BSS wat in hierdie dissertatie voorgestel word, mag in die toekoms gebruik word
om maritieme operateurs in hulle komplekse besluitprosesse by te staan. In die besonder kan
operateurs die stelsel as 'n riglyn gebruik om hul besluite te valideer of te regverdig, veral
wanneer die vlak van onsekerheid onderliggend aan die maritieme scenario hoog is en/of slegs
dele van die MWT-responsseleksieprobleem met die hand oplosbaar is. Daar word verwag dat
gebruik van hierdie slelsel in die praktyk die stresvlakke van operateurs as gevolg van moeilike
MWT-besluite noemenswaardig kan verlaag, en terselfdertyd die oorkoepelende kwaliteit van
MWT-besluite op 'n geïntegreerde wyse kan verbeter.Doctora
Mathematics under the Microscope
No full textIt is an unusual book which casts new and paradoxical light on the nature of mathematics.
The book will be interesting -- perhaps for different reasons -- to school teachers of mathematics and maths majors at universities, to graduate students in mathematics and computer science, to research mathematicians and computer scientists, to philosophers and historians of mathematics, to psychologists and neurophysiologists.
The author attempts to start a dialogue between mathematicians and cognitive scientists. He discusses, from a working mathematician's point of view, the mystery of mathematical intuition: why are certain mathematical concepts are more intuitive than the others? To what extent the "small scale" structure of mathematical concepts and algorithms reflects the workings of the human brain? What are the "elementary particles'' of mathematics which build up the mathematical universe?
One of the principal points of the book is the essential vertical unity of mathematics, the natural integration of its simplest objects and concepts into the complex hierarchy of mathematics as a whole. The same ideas and patterns of thinking can be found in elementary school arithmetic and in the cutting edge mathematical theories. There are no boundaries between "recreational'', "elementary'', "undergraduate'' and "research'' mathematics; the book freely moves throughout the whole range. Nevertheless, the author takes great care of keeping the book as non-technical as possible.
The book is saturated with amusing examples from a wide range of disciplines -- from turbulence to error-correcting codes to logic -- as well as just puzzles and brainteasers. Despite the very serious subject matter, the author's approach is lighthearted and entertaining
