THE LAW OF BECOMING AND THE SHACKLES OF SUFFICIENT REASON IN QUENTIN MEILLASSOUX
No full textExamining the concept of ‘hyper-chaos’ - a time beyond time, not of perpetual becoming, but of lawless creation and destruction, premised upon an abandonment of the principle of sufficient reason - as described in the work of French philosopher Quentin Meillassoux, this article contends that Meillassoux is unable to coherently posit the principle of unreason upon which his philosophy hinges
Saint-Quentin de Troyes : une église romane retrouvée
No full textSaint-Quentin in Troyes : eine wiederentdeckte romanische Kirche, von Thomas Spencer
In der Rue Mitantier in Troyes steht ein Gebäude, das sich äußeilich nicht von den umgebenden Bauten unterscheidet ; es handelt sich jedoch um die ehemalige Kirche Saint-Quentin. Dieses Denkmal ist im Schatten der Stadtgeschichte untergetaucht und die heutigen Einwohner von Troyes rechnen gar nicht mehr mit seiner Existenz.
Nach der Überlieterung wurde die Kirche im 7. Jahrhundert gegründet, in einer Zeit starker Missionstatigkeit in der Champagne. Schriftliche Quellen des 12. Jahrhunderts weisen darauf hin, dass die Kirche Saint-Quentin Ende des 11 . Jahrhunderts durch den Grafen Thibaud I. von Champagne der Abtei Molesme geschenkt wurde. Der Fortgang ihrer Geschichte ist heute weitgehend unbekannt, bis auf einige wenige Intormationen ans neuzeitlichen Quellen. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen religiösen Bauwerken ist die Kirche Saint-Quentin zu Troyes der Zerstorung durch die Französische Revolution entgangen. Sie wurde verkauft und diente bis in die 1920er Jahre zu industriellen Zwecken. In den 1950er Jahren ging sie in den Besitz der Stadt Troyes über, aber sie hat niemals eine neue Bestimmung erhalten.
Eine jüngere architektonische Untersuchung hat gezeigt, dass das Bauwerk größtenteils ans Resten besteht, die in die Zeit zwischen 1075 und 1150 datieren, trotz aller späteren Umwandlungen. Es existieren noch zahlreiche bildhauerische Elemente und geben einen Eindruck von den Zum Teil aufsergewöhnlichen Themen und dem Talent der romanischen Bildhauer, die in Frayes tätig waren. Diese Kirche ist von großem Interesse für die Untersuchung sowohl der Bautechniken, als auch der Bauplastik in einer Stadt, in der die Epoche der Romanik fast keine Spuren im aktuellen Stadtbild hinterlassen hat.Saint Quentin of Troyes : the discovery of a romanesque church, by Thomas Spencer
The former Saint Quentin church in Troyes, France is practically indistinguishable from the buildings that surround it today. In fact, very little is known about the church and few citizens of Troyes known that it still exists.
According to local tradition, the church was founded in the middle of the VIIth century duiring a time when the Christian faith was rapidly growing in Champagne. Written sources from the XIIth century indicate that the count Theobald I of Champagne gave Saint Quentin to Molesme abbey in the last quarrer of ther XIth century. Aside from a few post medieval documents, the history of the church in the following centuries is mostly unknown. The French Revolution saw the destruction of many churches in Troyes, but somehow Saint Quentin escaped that fate. The church was sold and used for industrial purposes until the 1920s. The municipality bought the property in 1954, but the former church lias stood empty and unused ever since.
A recent analysis concludes that despite the multiple transformations that occured there, the majority of the church structure dates from the period betxveen 1075 and 1150. A significant number of sculpted elements from the church still exist. These elements provide insight into the subjects and vocabulary of romanesque sculptors in Troyes. The former Saint Quentin church offers a good opportunity for the study of building techniques, materials and monumental sculpture in a city where the romanesque period is not otherwise represented in today's urban landscape.Dans la rue Mitantier à Troyes s'élève un édifice que rien ne distingue des constructions qui l'entourent : il s'agit pourtant de l'ancienne église Saint-Quentin. Ce monument est resté dans l'ombre de l'histoire de la ville et les Troyens aujourd'hui ne soupçonnent plus son existence.
La tradition place la fondation de l'église au VIIe siècle à une époque de forte christianisation en Champagne. Des sources écrites au XIIe siècle indiquent que l'église Saint-Quentin a été donnée à l'abbaye de Molesme la fin du XIe siècle par le comte Thibaud Ier de Champagne. La suite de son histoire est aujourd'hui peu connue à part quelques rares informations tirées des sources modernes. À la différence de beaucoup d'édifices religieux, l'église Saint-Quentin de Troyes a échappé à la destruction pendant la Révolution. Elle a été vendue et servait à des fins industrielles jusque dans les années 1920. Depuis les années 1950, elle devint la propriété de la ville de Troyes, mais elle n'a jamais trouvé une nouvelle affectation.
Une étude architecturale récente a montré que le bâtiment consiste en sa grande majorité de vestiges datant de la période comprise entre 1075 et 1 150 malgré toutes les transformations ultérieures. De nombreux éléments sculptés existent encore et donnent un aperçu des sujets, parfois exceptionnels, et du talent des sculpteurs romans employés à Troyes. Cette église offre un grand intérêt à la fois pour l'étude des méthodes de construction et du décor monumental dans une ville où l'époque romane n'a guère laissé de traces dans le paysage urbain actuel.Spencer Thomas.

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 author as actor: a defense of Quentin Skinner
No full textIn this thesis, I defend Quentin Skinner's work against some criticisms raised by three of his interlocutors: John Keane, Kennet Minogue, and Joseph Femia. All three of these critics take issue with Skinner's author-centered approach to the historical interpretation of texts. Femia, invoking Roland Barthes 'death of the author' thesis, argues that Skinner's attempt to recover the intentions of authors is impossible. While Minogue and Keane do not dispute the possibility of recovering an author's intentions, they question the unity of such an enterprise. In order to answer Femia's criticism of Skinner, I draw an analogy between Skinner's figure of the author, and Arendt's figure of the political actor. I argue that just as it is possible for someone to know what a political actor is doing in performing a political act, it is similarly possible for an intellectual historian to understand what political acts an author was doing in writing his or her text. To refute Minogue's and Keane's claims that a Skinnerian approach to intellectual history is of no use to the political theorist, I point to three examples of how Skinner's recovery of forgotten political discourses have been applied to contemporary debates in political theory.Graduat
