Georg Friedrich Meier: Excerpt from the Doctrine of Reason
No full textBoth Georg Friedrich Meier’s Doctrine of Reason and its abridgement, the Excerpt from the Doctrine of Reason, appeared in 1752. Akin to other logic texts of the time, they do not merely elaborate upon the formal aspects of logic, but rather systematically examine the elements of thought and language that make human understanding possible. Through these texts, Meier investigates quite thoroughly the realms of epistemic, aesthetic, and historic cognition. They, thus contain numerous expositions pertaining to the theory of knowledge, aesthetics, poetics, hermeneutics and anthropology. They, moreover, also concern the nature of rhetoric, which is defined at the beginning of both books as “a science, which deals with the rules of learned cognition and of learned exposition.” (Excerpt from the Doctrine of Reason, § 1, 1). One fundamental question shaped the whole of Meier’s philosophical agenda, namely, what is the “plan of the effectiveness of reason?” (Doctrine of Reason, § 5, 6). We may understand this question also “how do we recognize what is true?” This is a question that guided all his works dedicated to speculative philosophy, and we may contrast his approach to this question from those of other philosophers.Locke and Leibniz, for example, distinguished between truths “in a strict sense” and “moral” or “metaphysical” truths. Wolff had asserted the need to distinguish between a theoretical and a practical part of logic – the former concerned with the objective and systematic foundation of science, the latter with the habits we form after we know the causes and relations of things. By extending the scope of logic beyond dogmatic truths to historical, and aesthetic truths (Doctrine of Reason, § 133-35, 147-52; Excerpt from the Doctrine of Reason, § 104-06, 26-27), Meier overcame the strict demarcation between logic and rhetoric legitimated by a rigorously formal concept of truth, choosing instead to work on epistemic truths. According to Meier, human beings are sure of the world’s actuality because they live in it. However, they are also conscious of the fact that they know according to their own limitations, i.e., they are aware that they know their own subjective worlds. Meier chiefly considered the subjective side of cognition and the construction of certainty as the result of a cognitive process. Only after having gained certainty is one allowed to speak about truth. But it is always a truth affected by its origin: a given truth might be universal and necessary, but it might also be merely probable, doxastic, or even simply a belief. Meier and Kant, however, had different opinions on this issue. Meier considers the illusion that human cognition might be “completely false” as due to the effect of prejudice; this is the case, e.g., with regard to the partiality of people involved in a heated discussion about some doctrinal issue (Doctrine of Reason, § 128, 140-42; Excerpt from the Doctrine of Reason, § 100, 25). Kant, however, argues, from a transcendental standpoint, remarking that the assumption of the possibility of a total mistake would put into question the very cognitive capacity of the human being, thus striking back with the legitimation of a transcendental foundation of cognition (Critique of Pure Reason, A294/B350)

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

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”.
