    La filosofía del derecho de Alexandre Kojève

    No full text
    This 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

    No full text
    Partimos 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

    El 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 text
    This 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

    El 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

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geografia, Florianópolis, 2009Essa dissertação aborda a biogeografia da fauna de vertebrados de 23 ilhas costeiras do estado de Santa Catarina/Brasil, com enfoque nas aves marinhas e costeiras, através de uma análise regional e geossistêmica. As ilhas estão localizadas entre os municípios de Piçarras no norte e Laguna no sul. A coleta de dados em campo se deu através de visitas sazonais em cada ilha, totalizando 44 saídas de campo. As ilhas se formaram numa fase de subida do nível do mar iniciada à 11 mil anos, finalizando numa descida que durou 5 mil e cem anos, quando desapareceram os sistemas fluviais, mangues, lagos e lagunas. Foram identificados 15 habitats dos vertebrados: supralitoral rochoso, supralitoral arenoso, mesolitoral rochoso, mesolitoral arenoso, vegetação herbácea, vegetação arbustiva, vegetação arbórea, vegetação antropizada, alagado, solo, caverna, laguna, riacho, edificação e espaço aéreo. As ilhas, de norte a sul na costa e as de mar aberto e de mar protegido da grande baía da Ilha de Santa Catarina, apresentam os mesmos habitats. Corais é a ilha com a maior diversidade de habitats e, Santana-de-Dentro e Tacamí, apresentam a menor diversidade. Os vertebrados totalizam 143 espécies, com predomínio das aves. Os mamíferos são mais abundantes que os répteis e anfíbios juntos, e os peixes não existem. A pesquisa registrou 16 novas espécies. Os habitats com maior quantidade de fauna são os da vegetação nativa, o supralitoral rochoso, a vegetação antropizada e edificação. Os habitats com menos espécies são laguna e alagado, riacho, solo e caverna. A avifauna marinha e costeira catarinense é a mesma da costa brasileira, constituída por espécies pantropicais e cosmopolitas, como os Larideos, Pelecaniformes e Ciconiiformes. O fator mais importante para a manutenção dos vertebrados é a residência. A antropocoria é o mais dinâmico e a extinção é um fator recorrente e recente. A predação dos gaivotões sobre os trinta-réis é fator limitante para o sucesso reprodutivo das Sterna. A reprodução, o descanso e o isolamento das aves marinhas e costeiras é mais importante que o forrageamento. O baixo endemismo observado não indica baixa especiação, mas poucas pesquisas. As ilhas mais importantes para avifauna marinha e costeira são: Moleques-do-Sul, Batuta, Ilhota, Deserta e Feia. A transição climática, oceanográfica e botânica para os regimes mais frios e secos das regiões pampeana e patagônica, não é acompanhado por transição de fauna e de habitats. A pesquisa materializou a existência de dois espaços biogeográficos insulares: a Província Tupí, da floresta atlântica e o Domínio Oceânico Atlântico Tropical, dos costões e praias. Compartilham esses dois espaços, vertebrados das Regiões Neártica, Subantártica e Antárctica, das Províncias Pampeana e Patagônica e, das águas do Domínio Oceânico Atlântico Tropical. Considerando-se a falta de um enquadramento biogeográfico mais apropriado, sugere-se a criação do Distrito Biogeográfico Guaratiba situado na região costeira entre o norte do Rio Grande do Sul e o Rio de Janeiro, faunisticamente balizado pelo domínio do gaivotão e aves marinhas e costeiras associadas. O paradigma biogeográfico encontrado apresenta interface entre os processos naturais e a ação humana, podendo servir de incentivo à pesquisas sobre conservação e como base aos administradores públicos para formulação de melhores mecanismos de manejo.This dissertation approaches the vertebrate fauna biogeographic of the coast islands in Santa Catarina (Brazil), which focus are marine and short birds through regional and geosystemic analysis. The research occurred in 23 islands arranged between Piçarras (north) and the Laguna (south) towns, through seasonal visits, totaling 44 inspections. These islands were made up of 11 thousand years, when the sea were in a high level, finalizing on a descent that last 5 thousand and a hundred years, when disappeared the fluvial systems, mangrove swamps, lakes and lagoons. It had been identified 15 vertebrates habitats: rocky and sandy up coast, rocky and sandy middle coast, herbaceous vegetation, shrubs vegetation, trees vegetation, antropic vegetation, flood, cavern, lagoon, stream, building and air space. From the north to the south of the islands in coast, the open and protected seas of the big bay of the Island of Santa Catarina have the same habitats. The island which has more habitats diversity is the Corais whilst, Santana-de-Dentro and Tacamí, with the less diversity. The vertebrates total in143 species, with predominance of the birds. The mammals abounds more than the reptiles and amphibians altogether and there arent fishes. The search recorded 16 new species. The habitats with more fauna are in the native vegetation, rocky up coast, antropic vegetation and edification. The habitats with less speices are in lagoon and flood, stream, ground and cavern. The marine and shore birds of Santa Catarina are the same of the Brazilian coast and constitute by cosmopolitan and pan tropical species such as the Larídeos, Pelecaniformes and Ciconiformes. The most important of the vertebrates support is the residence. The antropocoria is the most dynamic and to become extinct is a fact nowadays. The fact that the seagulls are the predators of the tern, limit the breeding of the Sterna. The reproduction, the rest and the isolation of the marine and shore birds are more important than the forage. The low endemic doesnt means low species, but few research. The more important islands for the marine and coast birds are: Molequesdo-Sul, Batuta, Ilhota, Deserta and Feia. The climate, oceanographic and botanical transitions for the cold and dry systems of the pampeana and Patagonia regions, dont run parallel to the fauna and the habitats transition. The research showed two island biogeographic spaces: the Provincial Tupi, of the Atlantic forest and the Tropical Atlantic Oceanic Control of the coasts and the beaches. Vertebrates of the Neartic, Subantartic and Antarctic Regions, the Pampeana and Patagonia Provincias and the Tropical Atlantic Oceanic Control, share these two spaces. Considering that there isnt an appropriate biogeographic frame, the Guaratiba Biogeographic District in the coast region between the Rio Grande do Sul and Rio de Janeiro could be suggested. The district would be beacomed by the seagull and the associated marine and shore birds control. The founded biogeographic model presents an interface between the natural courses and the human action and it can be used to stimulate the researches about conservation besides as a structure to the public administrators to formulate better manage mechanisms

    A 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

    The 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

    Mathematics under the Microscope

    No full text
    It 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
