La questione dell’arte tra filosofia dei valori e Kulturkritik: su alcuni scritti di Jonas Cohn editi nei primi anni della Grande Guerra (1914-1916),
No full textDomenico Spinosa, The Question of Art between Philosophy of Values and Kulturkritik. On some Writings by Jonas Cohn published in the early Years of the Great War
(1914-1916)
This contribution proposal intends to reconstruct and then examine the reflections that Jonas Cohn elaborates in both the aesthetic spheres in the crucial time
span that goes from 1914 to 1916. As is well known, the Great War represents a
situation exceptional that causes a sort of interruption and traumatic bewilderment destined to profoundly change the neo-Kantian philosophical context and to
initiate from within it processes of revision of predominant themes and directions
already consolidated over time towards a considerable arrangement of new orientations. In this scenario, Cohn takes a position by recovering the theme dear to
him of aesthetics (in fact in 1901 – it is worth remembering – he was the author
of an Allgemeine Ästhetik which remains – it can be peacefully affirmed – the first
systematic work on the theme of the school of Baden) also and above all related to
issues related to the religious. Also for Cohn the foundational plane of reference
on which he argues these positions is that of the “critique of culture” to which the
author will also dedicate an important monograph as early as 1914. This will also
be an opportunity for the author to return to rethinking the notion of value in the
light of the changed historical-epochal situation that sanctions the decline of the
belle époque
Sui limiti della dimostrazione puramente logica del valore estetico nell’Allgemeine Ästhetik (1901) di Jonas Cohn
No full textWindelband’s and Rickert’s disciple, Jonas Cohn (1869-1947), published Allgemeine Ästhetik in 1901. This work has the merit of being essentially the only systematic investigation in the field of aesthetics undertaken by an exponent of the Baden Neo-Kantian school. With its highly rigorous character, on the one hand this work fine-tunes the results of several of Cohn’s previous studies (1894-1900) investigating the problem of beauty and art from a psycho-physiological point of view (openly confronting the composite
currents of art psychology active in his time). On the other hand, Cohn contributes the
problematic perspective of a “normative aesthetics” founding its premises and aims on
the typical principles of the critical philosophy of values. The present contribution strives
to account for the range of the question as it is presented in Cohn’s 1901 volume – where necessary also by drawing attention to some of his writings immediately following it
Representations of relative Cohn path algebras
No full textPolítica de acceso abierto tomada de: https://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/11436We study relative Cohn path algebras, also known as Leavitt-Cohn path algebras, and we realize them as partial skew group rings. To do this we prove uniqueness theorems for relative Cohn path algebras. Furthermore, given any graph E we define E-relative branching systems and prove how they induce representations of the associated relative Cohn path algebra. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for faithfulness of the representations associated to E-relative branching systems. This
improves previous results known to Leavitt path algebras of row-finite graphs with no sinks. To prove this last result we show first a version, for relative Cohn-path algebras, of the reduction theorem for Leavitt path algebras.The first author was partially supported by the Spanish MEC and Fondos FEDER through project MTM2016-76327-C3-1-P; and by the Junta de Andalucía and Fondos FEDER, jointly, through project FQM-7156.

Alfred E. Cohn (1879-1957), physician, humanist, author, and bibliophile, was one of the first cardiologists in the United States. He was born in New York City and received an MD from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University in 1904. Between 1907 and 1909 he studied in Freiburg, Vienna, and London. When he returned to the United States, Dr. Cohn joined the staff of Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. In 1911, he moved to the Rockefeller Hospital, bringing his electrocardiograph with him. He remained at Rockefeller for the rest of his career, retiring in 1944. Dr. Cohn took a leading role in organizations such as the New York Heart Association, New York Academy of Medicine, Veterans Administration, China Medical Board, Asia Institute, Sydenham Hospital, and the Committee for Displaced Foreign Scholars and Displaced Foreign Physicians.https://digitalcommons.rockefeller.edu/objects-tell-stories/1010/thumbnail.jp

Amélia Cohn\'s thought about the Brazilian sanitary reform
No full textA Reforma Sanitária Brasileira (RSB) tem sido bastante estudada pelo campo científico da Saúde Coletiva. Recentemente, novos estudos retomam sua trajetória e, assim, têm estimulado discussões sobre seu futuro. Este trabalho buscou valorizar este tema e o pensamento de uma de suas pesquisadoras e personagens, a socióloga Amélia Cohn. Devido à relevância de suas contribuições teóricas e a inexistência de trabalhos sobre esta autora, o objetivo desta dissertação foi compreender o pensamento de Amélia Cohn sobre a Reforma Sanitária Brasileira, a partir de um conjunto de seus textos, publicados ao longo de 24 anos. Para tanto, elaboraram-se as seguintes temáticas para análise dos quatro textos principais: a \"definição\" construída por Amélia Cohn sobre a RSB, o protagonismo político no interior do movimento da RSB, as características das estratégias políticas do movimento da RSB, os objetivos da RSB e o alcance de suas propostas, a produção de conhecimentos do campo da RSB, e a questão democrática para o campo da RSB. Concluiu-se que a autora buscou analisar esse tema de modo amplo, avaliando diferentes aspectos e priorizando em sua avaliação sobre os rumos da RSB a relação concomitante entre a produção de conhecimentos do campo e suas propostas e ações políticas. Além disso, ela considerou a RSB das décadas de 1960, 1970 e 1980, como a experiência de referência para suas reflexões. Dessa forma, elaborou em 1992 sua tese principal sobre o esgotamento da reforma sanitária e, em 2013, a tese sobre a renúncia do campo a um projeto de saúde para o país. Portanto, entende-se que Amélia Cohn buscou identificar pluralidade teórico-política no movimento e no pensamento da RSB, incluindo-se o campo da Saúde Coletiva, e propôs a autoconfrontação dos projetos do campo em suas análises.The Brazilian Sanitary Reform (BSR) is a common object of research within the Public Health scientific field. Long-lasting questions about its path have been discussed in recent studies, opening doors to think about its future. This study highlights this theme by reflecting on the sociologist Amélia Cohn\'s theoretical contributions upon the BSR. Due to the relevance of her theoretical contributions and the absence of studies about her scholarly works, this dissertation seeks to understand Amélia Cohn\'s thought about the BSR through published works over a 24-year-period. In order to do so, the following themes guide through the analysis of four main readings: Amelia Cohn\'s \'definition\' of the BSR, the political role within the BSR, the characteristics of the political strategies of the RSB movement, the goals of the BSR and the extent of its propositions, the production of knowledge from the BSR field, and the understanding of the democratic question to the BSR field. The author sought to analyze the BSF in a broad spectrum by evaluating its diverse aspects and prioritizing the concomitant relationship between the production of knowledge of the field and its proposals and political actions in order to evaluate the BSR\'s paths. Furthermore, she considered the 60\'s, 70\'s and 80\'s as time reference for her reflections on the development of the BSR. Accordingly, in 1992 she developed her main thesis on the collapse of sanitary reform, and, in 2013, theorized about the resignation of the BSR to a health project for the country. Therefore, Amélia Cohn sought to identify theoretical and political plurality in the movement and thought of the BSR, which includes the field of Public Health. The author has clearly proposed the confrontation between the projects carried out by the field in her analytical frameworks
Indiferencia estructural y democracia señorial: la teoría crítica de Gabriel Cohn
No full textThis article discusses the critical theory developed by Brazilian sociologist Gabriel Cohn in the last two decades, based on his concepts of structural indifference and seigneurial democracy. Structural indifference signifies selective operations carried out by complex systems that define what or who is or is not relevant in contemporary capitalism at a global scale. Seigneurial democracy, in turn, refers to the possessive, predatory and punitive nature of orientations of perception and behavior in Brazilian society. This article reconstructs these two notions using different texts by the author. In so doing, it also seeks to highlight the dialogues established by Cohn with the first generation of Frankfurt critical theory – particularly with Theodor Adorno – as well as with Florestan Fernandes, the founder of Brazilian critical sociology. Cross-cutting these two sets of discussions, still in dialogue with Adorno and Fernandes, Cohn proposes an approach for how to assess the past in critical sociology.El artículo discute la teoría crítica desarrollada por el sociólogo brasileño Gabriel Cohn en las últimas dos décadas a partir de sus planteamientos sobre indiferencia estructural y democracia señorial. Indiferencia estructural designa operaciones selectivas realizadas por sistemas complejos que definen qué o quién es relevante o no en el capitalismo contemporáneo en escala global. Democracia señorial, por su parte, se refiere al carácter posesivo, predatorio y punitivo de las orientaciones de la percepción y de la conducta en la sociedad brasileña. El artículo reconstruye estas dos nociones echando mano de distintos textos del autor. Al hacerlo, busca igualmente evidenciar los diálogos entablados por Cohn, de un lado, con la primera generación de la teoría crítica frankfurtiana, particularmente con Theodor Adorno, y, de otro, con Florestan Fernandes, precursor de la sociología crítica brasileña. Trasversalmente a estos dos conjuntos de discusiones, y todavía en diálogo con Adorno y Fernandes, Cohn propone un abordaje respecto a cómo tratar el pasado en la sociología crítica
