Williams, Ryan. "Mbeki's Africanism : the intellectual and political thought of Thabo Mbeki." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8991.
Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 99-104).This dissertation examines and analyses the intellectual and political thought of Thabo Mbeki. The study examines Mbeki’s thought throughout his political career from his political activism during the anti-apartheid movement to his rise as major leader in the ANC and the government. The thesis argues that analysing the intellectual and political thought of a practicing politician requires moving beyond conventional ideas relating to the work of political intellectuals. The thesis establishes the importance of Mbeki's political activism and political career to the content of his political thought. The study locates Mbeki' s intellectual and political thought within the body of intellectual work that forms part of history of modern African political thought. The research also establishes that Mbeki's thought cannot be located solely in one political tradition and that the movement in his political ideas corresponds to the different phases of South African political history. The thesis argues that during the struggle against apartheid Mbeki's political thought has a distinctly revolutionary Marxist character but as result of the transition to freedom there is a movement towards issues of race and culture as well as the appropriation of certain features of Marxist-Leninism in Mbeki's idea of political leadership and political practice. The thesis concludes by arguing that Mbeki's political thought is a critical contribution to the history of modern African political thought.

Crawford, Oliver. "The political thought of Tan Malaka." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2019. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/287945.
Full textAbstract:
In the course of a fairly brief lifetime, lasting only a little over fifty years (1897-1949), Tan Malaka was variously a schoolteacher, the chair of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), a Comintern agent, a political exile, and a revolutionary leader. He travelled the world, living for spells in the Netherlands, Germany, Russia, China, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Tan Malaka's colourful life and political career have attracted comment from historians, but there has not yet been an in-depth treatment of his ideas, even though he produced a large corpus of writings and was acknowledged to be among the foremost political intellects of his generation in Indonesia. This thesis is an analysis and contextualization of Tan Malaka's political thought. It places his writings within a series of contemporary debates: on the nature of the Indonesian past and the country's potential for revolution; on imperialism and the post-colonial future of Asia; on the relationship between Islam, capitalism, and Communism; on the reformation of Indonesian thinking; and on the appropriate strategy and goals for the Indonesian revolution. These debates, and Tan Malaka's interventions within them, reveal that Indonesia during the 'national awakening' period (1900-50) was the scene of great intellectual innovation, where foreign and indigenous concepts were fused, adapted and reworked. Tan Malaka's writings provide a particularly vivid example of this, combining as they do the concepts and language of Marxism, Islamic morality, and Minangkabau custom, sometimes in tension, in other places flowing together without apparent strain. Tan Malaka was not unique in this respect, as the thesis shows, which suggests that late- colonial Indonesia provides promising terrain for the 'global turn' in intellectual history, that seeks to understand the circulation, interaction and transformation of ideas across national and cultural boundaries, especially in the non-Western world.

Full textAbstract:
The critical essay gained immense popularity in the sixties and seventies in the Maghrib as a way to depict national realities that had failed to live up to nationalist ideals. Their authors often shared similar attributes: young highly educated intellectuals, committed toward modernity and who steered clear of politics. Such was the case of Abdallah Laroui (born 1933) and Hichem Djaït (born 1935), two celebrated Maghribi thinkers of the post-1967 generation in Arab thought. Despite their different ideological positions, they share a similar trajectory and both wrote about the need for another Arab renaissance, in Laroui's La crise des intellectuels arabes (1974) and Djaït's La personnalité arabo-islamique (1974). The turn to critical writing is routinely dismissed for being secondary, for having a restricted audience and little political impact, yet it highlights well the Maghribi postcolonial intellectual's competing demands: to conform to an ideal representation of intellectual "commitment" through critical speech, and to secure national recognition and integration. As such, this thesis confronts the often-neglected impact of nationalism on intellectual conducts after independence around the impact of their disillusionment, and forces us to rethink critically notions of engagement, the role of intellectuals and postcolonial cultural productions that are current in Middle East studies, and problematically envisaged by postcolonial studies. These texts have been approached as dynamic objects responding to a set of questions in their time, to account for the materiality of thought production, mobilising David Scott's concept of the "problem-space of intellectual production" (1999). This thesis looks at Abdallah Laroui and Hichem Djaït's intellectual projects from 1965 to 1978, to study the genesis and aftermaths of their critical moment, focusing on their published writings (critical essays and academic studies), press and journal articles, interviews, and fictional texts from a later period, in Arabic and French. Their writings will be read alongside several cultural journals, newspapers and memoirs dealing with this period of the Maghrib's history to account for the processes of circulation and reception by relevant audiences.

Harris, Kathryn M. "The operation of necessity: Intellectual affiliation and social thought in Rebecca West's nonfiction." Diss., The University of Arizona, 2005. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/282888.
Full textAbstract:
Major scholars of the literary production of Rebecca West (1892-1983), English journalist, critic, biographer, historian, and novelist, universally cite the generic range of her writing as the primary impediment to a unified critical view of her work. For seventy-one years, from 1911 to 1982, her career as journalist, political analyst, theater critic, and literary reviewer was the stable matrix from which emerged her fiction, literary criticism, biography, and history. A growing body of scholarship is working toward the construction of a unified view of West's vast body of work, which includes eight books of fiction, twelve books of nonfiction, numerous lectures printed as monographs, perhaps one thousand newspaper articles and review-essays, and more than 10,000 letters. By far the greater portion of her work is her nonfiction prose, yet extended critiques of her nonfiction are surprisingly few. The present study considers the contexts to which West's major works of nonfiction respond, their central propositions, their formal organization, the images and metaphors that characterize her accounts of ideas incarnate in the experience of individuals, classes, and nations, the critical reception of these works at the time of their publication, and, where possible, more recent critical views. Comprehensive survey of West's nonfiction uncovers not a single unifying theme but rather a circuit of secular ideas indebted to the scientific-rational thought of Herbert Spencer, which was enormously persuasive among the educated classes of late Victorian and Edwardian England. According to Spencer, who is credited with having constructed the materialist body of thought known as Social Darwinism, the slow working of evolution finds a parallel in the evolution of social organization in human society. This broad view of the social organism, which was an article of faith with West's intellectual predecessors and mentors--her father, Charles Fairfield; her sister, Letitia Fairfield; her lover and colleague H. G. Wells--confirmed in West a hardy empiricism, a consciously scientific perspective on history, an uncompromising and lifelong feminism, and a progressive politics which inform her examination of complex social and political relationships among individuals, classes, and nations and which are everywhere evident in her literary criticism, political analysis, biography, and cultural history.

Griffith, Tyler James. "Toward a pedagogy of thought : Jacotot's intellectual emancipation and the post-historical university." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2011. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.553797.
Full textAbstract:
Critical scholarship on nineteenth-century educational reform has highlighted several key changes in the approach to, and organisation of knowledge in the modern era: the rise of a highly specialised disciplinary culture, the growing importance of the university as a centre for the transmission and creation of new knowledge, and the paradoxical growth in accessibility as well as inaccessibility to higher education emerge as key themes in contemporary scholarship on the topic. Although highly valuable in their own right, these studies tend to view 'cultures of knowledge' as teleologically developing to their current state while neglecting theories of pedagogy that interpreted knowledge and learning not as the by-products of a top-down transmission of knowledge from 'master' to 'disciple', but rather as a collaborative process of communication rooted in the fragility of a shared dialogue. By focusing on the theory of universal education outlined by Jean-Joseph Jacotot (1770- 1840) in his Enseignement Universel, this study explores the philosophical intricacies of a system of pedagogy which premises its validity not on theories of 'objective reality' and the transmission of 'facts', but rather on practices of communication and shared thought that eo-produce the pedagogical moment. This set of practices-in addition to problematising the notions of the 'learning subject', the 'knowledgeable master', and the 'institution of education' -addresses issues that are still pertinent to critical debates about the nature and goals of education. In particular, Jacotot's conception of the non-methodical pedagogical relation provides an insightful counterpoint to the notion of the post-historical university in Bill Readings' The University in Ruins, which argues for an ungrounded institution with commitments to Thought rather than Knowledge. This paper elaborates Jacotot's pedagogical theory and reads it alongside Readings' propositions in order to suggest a 'pedagogy of presence' which roots the pedagogical encounter in a dialogue of immediacy and the singularity of subjective identity.

Lagos, Felipe. "The misadventures of Latin American Marxism : intellectual journeys towards the deprovincialization of Marxist thought." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2017. http://research.gold.ac.uk/20115/.
Full textAbstract:
This work revisits some trajectories of Marxism in Latin America characterized by their non-official or critical stance vis-à-vis official versions of Marxism, in order to trace and reconstruct a number of attempts to produce a distinctive ‘Latin American Marxism’. The theoretical framework of the thesis draws upon the conceptual achievements of the authors and currents revisited, based (sometimes wittingly and explicitly, sometimes not) on the categories of uneven and combined development, plural temporalities, and translation. Chapter I organizes the conceptual framework that accompanies the reconstruction, in which the common ground of the selected authors lies in to put into question the developmentalist and modernization apparatus that characterized official Marxism during the 20th century. Chapter II and III reconstruct the work of Peruvian José Carlos Mariátegui, considered as the foremost translation of Marxism into a communal-popular perspective with roots in the Andean indigenous community or ayllu. Chapter II focuses on the centrality of ‘uneven and combined development’ in his confrontation to both the homogeneizing perspective of the Second International and the theoretical ‘exceptionalism’ claimed by Haya de la Torre for Latin America. Chapter III continues the reconstruction of Mariátegui’s Marxism in a different yet related register, namely through the incorporation of the notion of ‘myth’. The notion appears as a keystone to comprehend Mariátegui’s incorporation of the Andean ethno-cultural memories in the conceptual registers of historical materialism. Chapter IV to VI address some reflections on the concomitances and tensions between Marxism and the ‘national-popular’ in Latin America. Chapter IV revisits the so-called dependency theory, a heterogeneous ‘school’ which questioned the assumptions of modernization theories and desarrollista frameworks. The chapter evaluates the extent to which the dependency school was able to disengage itself from the notion of development, from a geopolitically-located conceptualization of the capitalist world structure. Chapter V revisits the work of Argentinean Marxist José Aricó, in particular his reading of the ‘misencounter’ (desencuentro) between Marx and Latin America in the midst of the ‘crisis of Marxism’ during the 1970s and ‘80s. The chapter argues that the notion of ‘misencounter’ can be read from the logic of uneven and combined development and its effects in the development of Marxist theory in the sub-continent. Chapter VI, finally, reconstructs the Marxism of Bolivian René Zavaleta Mercado, focusing on the characterization of Bolivia as ‘motley’ society (sociedad abigarrada), and the different temporalities that feature so defined social structures. In his attempt to produce local knowledge, Zavaleta envisaged a theoretical encounter between the working class and the indigenous movements in the midst of the question of democracy.

Scientific Racism was a method used by some to legitimize racist social thought without any compelling scientific evidence. This study seeks to identify, through the Afrocentric Paradigm, some of these studies and how they have influenced the modern western institution of medicine. It is also the aim of this research to examine the ways Africans were exploited by the western institution of medicine to progress the field. Drawing on The Post Traumatic Slave Theory, I will examine how modern-day Africans in America are affected by the experiences of enslaved Africans.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis traces the development of Algerian sociologist Abdelmalek Sayad’s ideas pertaining to Algerian immigration in France in the postcolonial period. I show that Sayad must be understood as more than simply an accomplished scholar; he must also be seen as a scientific intellectual operating within a particular historical moment. Sayad’s writings on the migrant condition are, I argue, a sociological analysis of Algerian immigrants’ existential dilemma that is rooted in a loss of sense of belonging and a feeling of being oppressed by state power and dominant members of French society. In addition, Sayad’s radical critique of the nation-state operated both as an explanation of Algerians’ sense of liminality as well as his attempt to recast the narrative of Algerian immigration in France as a form of neocolonialism. Sayad’s sociological work was not purely academic; it was impassioned and, at times, imbued with the language of a moral voice.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to resurrect interest in the concept of power in political theory by shedding light on some of its relatively unexplored discursive dimensions and developing a fresh approach to its understanding. Particularly, it studies an under-examined theme in the current literature, which, however, forms a crucial aspect determining different definitions of power: in what manner do different ways of thinking about power underpin variable conceptual formulations and theoretical interpretations of this key political concept? What types of cognitive, ideational and conceptual 'micro-processes' shape different ways of thinking about power in political thought? The thesis suggests novel interpretative possibilities that may be distilled from developing a hermeneutical approach extending across the dimensions of historical time and disciplinary space, by combining methodological insights from the fields of morphology, intellectual history and interdisciplinary study. To that end, it engages perspectives gleaned from historical treatments of power, as well as recent understandings of spatiality and force provided by scientific discourse. The concept of power is explored through the perspectives of (i) cultural historicity and (ii) interdisciplinarity. Along the axis of cultural historicity, the analysis studies Aristotle's classical concept of 'dunamis' as the original conceptual modality of power in political thought. Along the axis of interdisciplinarity, the examination explores the concept of force in the discourse of physics, and its parallel development in political thought. This dissertation shows that the exploration of those conceptual modalities can yield a new appreciation of certain diachronic and contingent conceptual features of power and enhance our understanding of the multifaceted discursive processes through which those form, including the underpinning 'micro-semantic', linguistic and ideational processes which contribute to the emergence of variable modes of thinking about power. In so doing, the thesis aims at illuminating our modern understanding of the concept, moving the scholarly discourse forward towards new horizons of meaning and interpretation.

Castiglione, Dario. "A mitigated scepticism : a study of David Hume's philosophical and political thought in its intellectual context." Thesis, University of Sussex, 1986. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.382506.
Full textAbstract:
This study of David Hume suggests that the unity of his thought Is to be found more In an attitude of mind than In a precise body of epistemological statements. His 'mitigated scepticism' was the original combination of an experimental approach with a searching mind and a rather disenchanted attitude towards the attainment of perfection In knowledge and In the practical world. But my thesis addresses these questions only Implicitly. The general picture of the Humean approach to things political and phi losophlcal Is depicted against the background of a close examination of two other themes: Hume's development towards a more 'popular' phi losophy and the phi losophlcal Import of his moral and political theory. The first subject Is studied through an analysis of the formal qualities of Hume's phi losophlcal writings; the second, through a discussion of Hume's position on the origin of Justice and government and one's obi Igatlon to them. The conclusion that my thesis tentatively advances Is that both In metaphysics and politics Hume's approach Is based upon the attainment of a state of equl IIbrlum between theoretical and practical considerations, and between sceptical and naturalistic tendencies. Hume's desire for balance can only be understood within the Intellectual context of eighteenth century thought. This Is the reason for the considerable attention that the thesis devotes to the reconstruction of the historical setting within which Hume's thought developed. However, when correctly Interpreted, Hume's Ideas clearly have a contribution to make to an understanding of a world which Is very different from his own.

Johnston, Alexandre Charles. "Time, alternation, and the failure of reason : Sophoclean tragedy and Archaic Greek thought." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/29592.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the place, influence, and deployment of archaic Greek thought in Sophocles’ extant tragedies, paying close attention to the ethical and theological content of the plays as well as to their dramatic and literary fabric. I use archaic thought as an umbrella term for a constellation of ideas on the human condition and the gods which is first attested, in Greece, in Homeric epic, but has a long and variegated existence in other contexts and after the archaic period. The thesis consists of six chapters, divided in two parts. The first part provides a general conceptual framework, which is then applied in the detailed readings of Sophocles constituting the second part. The first chapter examines some of the main texts of archaic Greek thought, and offers an interpretation of it as a coherent nexus of ideas gravitating around the core notions of human vulnerability, short-sightedness, and the principle of alternation. Using the examples of Homer’s Iliad and Solon’s Elegy to the Muses, I argue that the narrative structure of archaic poetry can be used to formulate and “perform” archaic ideas. The second chapter formulates the principal argument of the thesis: that archaic thought is central to the ethical and religious content of tragedy as well as to its dramatic and literary fabric, that is, to the form of tragedy as a complex artefact designed to be performed on stage. I explore possible models for the interaction between archaic thought and literature and tragedy, from Aristotle’s Poetics to recent interpretations of tragedy as a hybrid of other literary and intellectual forms. I then examine the ways in which archaic ideas are deployed and performed in tragedy, both in passages that are explicitly archaic in content and diction, and in the complex interactions of dramatic form and intellectual content. This general discussion is illustrated with preliminary readings of four Sophoclean plays: Ajax, Oedipus Tyrannus, Philoctetes, and Oedipus at Colonus. The third chapter contextualises the approach adopted in the thesis as a whole by exploring two interpretations of Sophocles in German Idealist thought: Solger’s reading of Ajax and Hölderlin’s reading of Oedipus Tyrannus. It argues that these analyses, albeit under anachronistic conceptual categories such as “the tragic”, seize on some of the fundamental questions of archaic and tragic ethics and theology: the relationship between the human and divine spheres, and the limits of language and human understanding. In Chapters 4, 5, and 6, I offer detailed readings of Trachiniae, Antigone, and Electra, three plays chosen to reflect the diversity of contexts in which archaic ideas exist in Sophocles. I argue that archaic thought is central to the intellectual and dramatic fabric of all three plays, even though the deployment and emphasis of archaic patterns and ideas differs from one tragedy to the next.

This thesis examines in depth the thought and ideas of the Egyptian intellectual Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd as a representative of modernist Isalmic thought. In unpacking and analysingAbu Zayd’s ideas, this thesis focuses on five major issues: shari‘a, Islam and politics, the Arab-Islamic heritage, history, and the issue of women’s rights. This thesis argues that Abu Zayd’s thought suffers from some of the same weaknesses he attacked in traditional and Islamist thought. By focusing on Abu Zayd I not only contribute to understanding a major intellectual in contemporary Islamic thought but also shed light on his wider intellectual family.

The advent of Ahmad Kasravi (1890--1946) and his Pakdini movement represents one of the most important developments in the history of socio-religious thought in Iran in the Pahlavi era (1925--1979). It was one of the greatest home-grown ideological challenges to Shi'ism and Shi'i clergy in the twentieth century.The present thesis aims to analyze Kasravi's religious ideology. It examines first the historical factors that played a significant role in the development of Kasravi's socio-religious consciousness and his keen interest in religion. Secondly, it explores the intellectual contexts of his religious thought---its origins, the controversial nature of it, the original aspects of it, the reaction of the clergy and intellectuals of the time to it, and its significance and impact on the coming generations. Finally, the key concepts of Kasravi's socio-religious ideology and some major current misunderstandings of them are examined. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textAbstract:
German musicology has customarily situated a paradigm shift in musical aesthetics some time during the first half of the sixteenth century. This dissertation examines the suggestion that German Reformation theology inspired a modern musical aesthetic. In Part One, the existing narrative of relationship between theological and musical thought is tested and rejected. Chapter 1 analyses twentieth-century music historians' positive expectation of commensurability between Luther's theological ideas and the sixteenth-century concepts of the musical work and musical rhetoric, concluding that their positive expectation was dependent on a Germanocentric modernity narrative. Chapter 2 assesses Listenius' Musica (1537), the textbook in which the concepts of the musical work and musica poetica were expounded for the first time. I argue that, since Listenius' textbook was intended as a pedagogical tool, it is inappropriate to read his exposition of musica poetica and opus as if logical sentences on musical aesthetics. Part Two investigates the treatment of musica in the theology of early German Reformation disputants. Chapter 3 finds that Luther's early musical thought was borrowed from the late mediæval mystics, and resisted the influence of the Renaissance Platonists. Chapter 4 shows that, far from embracing humanist ideas of musical rhetoric, Luther's Reformed musical aesthetic became increasingly anti-rational and sceptical of music's relation to verbal meaning. Chapter 5 examines the discussions of music by the German Romanist polemicists. It finds that their music-aesthetic assertions were opportunistic attempts to situate the Lutherans outside the bounds of orthodoxy. The dissertation concludes that the discussions of music in early German Reformation texts ran counter to the general sixteenth-century trajectory towards a humanistic or modern aesthetic of music. It further argues that the aesthetic proposals of sixteenth-century German theologians should be taken seriously in the formation of our present-day picture of sixteenth-century musical thought.

Full textAbstract:
Abu Nasr Qursawi is a seminal figure in the history of the Muslim communities of the Russian Empire. Controversial in his own time, as well as posthumously, he came to be seen as an inspiration for Jadidism, the modernist Muslim reform movement in the Russian Empire in the early 20th century. During his lifetime, he was intimately involved in the most important debates within these Muslim communities regarding issues central to their religious and social self-conception as Muslims. This dissertation explores Qursawi's writings and thought in light of his socio-historical circumstances and within the context of the classical Islamic scholarly tradition, and addresses his connection with Jadidism. The dissertation is divided into two sections. The first presents the events of Qursawi's life within the broader history of the Muslims of the Russian Empire between 1750 and 1850. This section shows the ways in which these Muslim communities, particularly the scholarly class ('ulama'), were affected as a result of their incorporation into the governing structures of the Russian imperial state. It attempts to fit Qursawi into this specific historical context. The second section features an analysis of Qursawi's thought based on an in-depth study of his entire extant oeuvre. This analysis focuses on the two most pressing issues of the religious discourse among these communities: debates on the theological issue of God's attributes (sifat) and the permissibility and purpose of independent legal interpretation (ijtihad). Qursawi's respective positions on these two issues reflect his view regarding religious belief, the Islamic theological tradition (kalam) and Islamic legal institutions and their role within the Islamic social order. I analyze Qursawi's stance on each in light of the discursive tradition of pre-modern Islamic scholarship and show the ways in which he adheres to, or departs from, that tradition. I conclude that although Qursawi's thought is firmly grounded within that tradition, and he is not the radical modernizer he is often depicted as in secondary scholarship, he does indeed depart from tradition in a number of significant ways. This was the result of the social marginalization of Islamic institutions under the Russian state. Qursawi's stance on legal issues is more unconventional than his stance on theological issues due to the fact that legal institutions were impacted to a greater degree by imperial rule. Furthermore, while his socio-religious Weltanschauung bears virtually no relation to the self-conscious modernism of Jadidism, it is evident how some of Qursawi's views, particularly those regarding education and religious knowledge, could serve as a basis for modernist reforms as espoused by Jadids.Abu Nasr Qursawi est une figure majeur dans l'histoire des communautés musulmanes de l'Empire russe. Il était une personne controversée en son temps et aussi après sa mort, et il est devenu considéré comme une source d'inspiration pour le jadidisme, le mouvement de la réforme musulmane moderne dans l'Empire russe au début du 20e siècle. Au cours de sa vie, il a participé aux débats les plus importants concernant les questions essentielles religieux et sociaux au sein de ces communautés musulmanes. Cette thèse explore ses ouvrages compte tenu des circonstances socio-historiques et dans le contexte de la tradition scolaire pré-moderne de l'Islam, et elle s'adresse à la connexion de Qursawi au jadidisme. La thèse se divise en deux parties. La première présente les événements de la vie de Qursawi dans l'histoire des musulmans de l'Empire russe entre 1750 et 1850. Cette partie s'adresse aux manières dont ces communautés musulmanes, en particulier la classe savante ('ulama'), ont été affectées en conséquence de leur incorporation aux structures de gouvernance de l'état impérial russe. Elle tente de mettre Qursawi dans ce contexte historique spécifique. La deuxième partie inclut une analyse de la pensée de Qursawi en regarde de l'étude en détail de son oeuvre existant entière. Cette analyse se concentre sur les deux questions les plus urgents du discours religieux de ces communautés : débats sur la question théologique des attributs divins (sifat) et la permissibilité et le but de l'interprétation juridique indépendante (ijtihad). Les positions de Qursawi sur ces deux questions reflétent son point de vue concernant la tradition théologique islamique (kalam) et les institutions juridiques musulmanes et leur rôle au sein de l'ordre social islamique. J'analyse la position de Qursawi sur chacun compte tenu de la tradition discursive de l'érudition islamique de la période pré-moderne et montre les manières dont il se conforme à, ou s'éloigne de, cette tradition. Je conclus que, bien que la pensée de Qursawi est solidement ancrée dans cette tradition et il n'est pas le modernisateur radical comme il est souvent dépeint par la littérature secondaire, en fait il s'éloigne de la tradition de plusieurs manières significatives. Ce fut à cause de la marginalisation sociale des institutions islamiques sous l'état russe. La position juridique de Qursawi est plus non-conventionelle que sa position sur questions théologiques en raison du fait que la domination impériale a eu un plus grand impact sur les institutions juridiques. De plus, alors que sa perspective socio-religieuse n'a aucun rapport avec le modernisme explicite du jadidisme, il est clair que les jadids pourraient baser leurs réformes modernistes sur certains de ses positions, en particulier celles qui concerne l'enseignement et le savoir religieux.

This dissertation examines Scottish unionist political thought and intellectual history in the period from 1885-1886 to 1965. It provides an analytical examination of unionist positions examining such areas as political history, ecclesiology, sectarianism, historiography and unionist-nationalist sentiment. It contextualises unionist thought within Scotland's history and offers findings based on both archival and primary sources research along with a thorough background of historiography. It both contextualises and examines the complexities of Scottish unionism during this vital period between the Liberal Party's split over Irish Home Rule until the reorganisation of the Scottish Unionist Party in 1965.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the diverse range of textual and visual architectural representations in twelfth-century didactic texts. It argues that these representations are not arbitrarily chosen frameworks for holding data; instead, architecture can perform a certain pedagogical role. In this role architectural representations mediate between imperceptible abstract concepts in the text and the tangible world of the reader. By focusing on the relationship between text and image this thesis argues that the two play a meaningful part in conveying intangible elements of the world to the reader. The thesis creates an alternative to the historiography on architecture and its representations by redirecting focus from the development of technical drawings and onto the intellectual context of the drawings, and ultimately questions why architecture, in particular, appears so frequently in didactic manuscripts of the period. The argument is framed by two points. First, it recognises the manifold ways in which architectural representations appear by focusing on three particular examples: quadrivial texts, Richard of Saint Victor's In visionem Ezechielis, and Honorius Augustodunensis' Gemma animae. These texts provide case studies to argue the primary point of thesis, namely, that architectural representations were used to provide tangible or kinaesthetic models to aid readers' understanding of difficult material. Second, the language and structure of the three studies reflect a dimensional framework that was used to articulate particular aspects of the drawings. The dimensional aspects of the drawings appear in texts as references to length, width, height, and the typological qualities of architecture. Overall the thesis has two important implications. First by recognising the important relationship between text and image it is possible to draw out the pedagogical aims and processes present in some twelfth-century didactic works. Second, common examples of architectural representations, such as Gospel canon tables, are recognised as part of a broader spectrum of heuristic images and diagrams.

Wei, Yang. "Popular Opinion and Public Reasoning: Intellectual Changes and Institutional Innovations in Late Ming China (1580s-1640s)." Thesis, Harvard University, 2014. http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:11321.
Full textAbstract:
This study examines the rise of popularist discourse in the realms of intellectual transformation, political reforms, institutional innovations, social activism, and cultural construction from the 1580s to the 1680s. Centered on notions such as "popular opinion (gonglun)" and "public reasoning (gongyi)", the popularist discourse presupposed individual perspectives as inherently isolated, incomplete, parochial, and flawed. Broader inclusion of diverse opinions was thus justified as an indispensible check of individual view for optimal outcome. Chapter 1 explores the intellectual transformation from the Neo-Confucian premises to elitist-popularism, in which the daoxue assumptions of individual access to absolute truth, and of the linear transmission of orthodox learning through an enlightened minority (daotong) were questioned. In contrast, the popularist notions emphasized the fallibility of any individuals, justified spontaneous consensus, and advocated horizontal inclusion of ideas in collective reasoning. Chapter 2 examines the political disputes concerning the "collective recommendation (huitui)" in the late Ming administration, arguing that proponents of huitui, through re-inventing this tradition, sought to moderate the imperial power in important bureaucratic appointments and to promote broader political participation and greater transparency in policy-making. Chapter 3 explores the institutional innovations relating to the fangdan questionnaires, which served as a quantitative means for substantiating the conceived popular opinion in late-Ming officialdom. Beneath these institutional reforms was the popularist orientation that saw commonly shared opinion as innately outweighing individual views. Chapter 4 stresses the centrality of the popularist discourse in the late-Ming Jiangnan literati's activism, arguing that the collective strategies facilitated the local literati's agendas of defending common status and shared interests out of the fear of downward social mobility in a society of increasing identity fluidity. Chapter 5 discusses the cultural impact of the popularist discourse by demonstrating how the collective approach posed challenges to the prevailing Neo-Confucian moral absolutism, brought about a new definition of learning as cumulative, inclusive, open-ended process of public reasoning, and spurred the florescence of encyclopedias, compendia, and anthologies as "the market of knowledge/ideas" for the audience to choose. Taken together, these case studies show a profound change in late-Ming China's political, intellectual and cultural landscape reshaped by a collective orientation.East Asian Languages and Civilizations

Bow, Charles Bradford. "End of the Scottish Enlightenment in its transatlantic context : moral education in the thought of Dugald Stewart and Samuel Stanhope Smith, 1790-1812." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/8236.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis explores the history of the Scottish Enlightenment in its transatlantic context and, in particular, the diffusion of Scottish Enlightenment moral philosophy in late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Scotland and the United States. This project is the first full-scale attempt to examine the tensions between late eighteenth-century Scottish Enlightenment intellectual culture and counter-Enlightenment interests in the Atlantic World. My comparative study focuses on two of the most influential university educators in Scotland and the newly-founded United States. These are Dugald Stewart at the University of Edinburgh and Samuel Stanhope Smith at the College of New Jersey (which later became Princeton University). Stewart and Smith are ideal for a transatlantic comparative project of this kind, because of their close parallels as moral philosophy professors at the University of Edinburgh (1785-1810) and the College of New Jersey (1779-1812) respectively; their conflicts with ecclesiastical factions and counter-Enlightenment policies in the first decade of the nineteenth century; and finally their uses and adaptations of Scottish Enlightenment moral philosophy. The broader question I address is how the diffusion and fate of Scottish Enlightenment moral thought was affected by the different institutional and, above all, religious contexts in which it was taught. Dugald Stewart’s and Stanhope Smith’s interpretations of central philosophical themes reflected their desire to improve the state of society by educating enlightened and virtuous young men who would later enter careers in public life. In doing so, their teaching of natural religion and metaphysics brought them into conflict with religious factions, namely American religious revivalists on Princeton’s Board of Trustees and members of the Scottish ecclesiastical Moderate party, who believed that revealed religion should provide the foundation of education. The controversies that emerged from these tensions did not develop in an intellectual vacuum. My research illustrates how the American and Scottish reception of the French Revolution; the 1793-1802 Scottish Sedition Trials; Scottish and American ‘polite’ culture; Scottish secular and ecclesiastical politics; American Federalist and Republican political debates; American student riots between 1800 and 1807; and American religious revivalism affected Smith’s and Stewart’s programmes of moral education. While I identify this project as an example of cultural and intellectual history, it also advances interests in the history of education, ecclesiastical history, transnational history, and comparative history. The thesis has two main parts. The first consists of three chapters on Dugald Stewart’s system of moral education: the circumstances in which Stewart developed his moral education as a modern version of Thomas Reid’s so-called Common Sense philosophy, Stewart’s applied ethics, and finally, his defence of the Scottish Enlightenment in the context of the 1805 John Leslie case. Complementing the chronology and themes in part one, the second part consists of three chapters on Smith’s programme of moral education: the circumstances that gave rise to Smith’s creation of the Princeton Enlightenment, Smith’s applied ethics, and finally, Smith’s defence of his system of moral education in the contexts of what he saw as two converging counter- Enlightenment factions (religious revivalists and rebellious students) at Princeton. In examining these areas, I argue that Dugald Stewart and Samuel Stanhope Smith attempted to systematically sustain Scottish Enlightenment ideas (namely Scottish philosophy) and values (‘Moderatism’) against counter-Enlightenment movements in higher education.

Jan, Ammar Ali. "A study of communist thought in colonial India, 1919-1951." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/271423.
Full textAbstract:
Despite having roots in 19th century Europe, Marxism had a deep impact on the trajectory of political ideas in the non-European world in the twentieth century. In particular, anti-colonial thinkers engaged productively with Marx’s ideas as part of their struggle against Empire. Yet, little attention has been paid to the displacements and innovations in political thought as a result of this encounter between anti-colonialism and Marxism. This dissertation aims to fill this gap by studying the history of Indian communism, focusing on the first three decades of the communist movement (1921-1950). I claim that this is an ideal time period to interrogate the formation of political ideas in India, since they presented themselves with particular intensity in the midst of an unfolding anti-colonial struggle, and arguably, the birth of the Indian political. The entry of communist ideas into the charged political environment of the 1920s had an impact on the ideological debates within the Indian polity, as well as stamping Indian communism with its own specific historicity. Through a tracing of debates among communist leaders, as well as their non-communist interlocutors, this work seeks to provide a novel lens to consider the relationship between ideas and their historical actualization, or between the universal and its instantiation in the particular. Moreover, the dissertation argues that the radically different socio-political and historical landscapes of Western Europe and colonial India necessitated a confrontation with the stagist view of history dominant in the history of Western Marxism, prompting novel theoretical work on the issue of political temporality. Consequently, the relationship between necessity and volition, central to enlightenment thought, was radically transformed in the colonial world, particularly in terms of its entanglement with the problem of subjective violence. Engagement with such questions not only impacted Indian political thought, but transformed global communism itself, putting into question the concept of an “originary site” for political ideas. Thus, this work intervenes in debates in three distinct registers: Global Intellectual History, Marxist theory and Indian political thought.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the way music is characterized, used, or accounted for in recent (post-1968) French thought, focusing in particular on the work of Jean-Luc Nancy, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, and Alain Badiou. In spite of the differences in their philosophical-theoretical positions, all of these writers invoke music - both directly and indirectly - to negotiate their relationship to ontological, political, ethical and aesthetic concerns, particularly in terms of how it relates to the (im)possibility of a subject, the condition of truth, and the role of philosophical thought itself. The thesis situates these texts in a longer genealogy of musico-philosophical interactions and also brings them into dialogue with recent musicological approaches, thus showing how an inherited idea of what music 'is' is often assumed rather than critically re-evaluated. In short, by tracing the musical-transcendental baggage of an inherited metaphysical conception of music - one which often understands music in close relation to the feminine, (sexual) excess, and the beyond of language and/or the symbolic - the thesis shows that though music is instrumentalized by progressive thinkers as a way of shifting theoretical/philosophical paradigms, it nonetheless does so in a way that has a strong sense of continuity with previous thinking on music. Secondly, the thesis highlights the way in which music in its metaphysical-ontological guise is often conceived as synonymous with Western high art classical music (which is itself constructed as absolute and transcendent, and ontologically independent of its means of (re)production or context) whilst non-literate, popular, folk and world musics - on the occasions that they are considered and not simply ignored or denigrated - are notably considered almost exclusively in terms of their social-cultural or technological contexts. Finally, the thesis demonstrates that much of this takes place through a simultaneous instrumentalization of gender as an organisational category for philosophy, and one which all too often has the consequence of sending women - along with music - to the beyond of pre-, inter-, or post-signification.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis traces the intellectual trajectory of Lorenz Stein (1815-1890), a German legal scholar and political thinker who, despite being a significant theorist during his lifetime, is an obscure figure today, especially in Anglophone scholarship. It focuses on Stein's writings on socialism and argues that they provide crucial insights into the changing nature of socialist thought in the mid-nineteenth century. It contributes to the project of departing from a Marxist interpretation of the history of socialism that has long been predominant, and uses Stein's intellectual biography to illustrate how contingent political, cultural and personal factors have shaped both the creation and reception of socialist ideas.

O presente trabalho, cujo objetivo principal é interpretar sociologicamente a atuação de produtores da chamada ciência social uspiana, investiga aspectos da trajetória intelectual de algumas professoras do Curso de Ciências Sociais da Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras, da Universidade de São Paulo, examinando disputas simbólicas típicas de grupos intelectuais e voltadas para a conquista da afirmação acadêmica nas Cátedras do Curso. Tais disputas seriam inerentes à busca de afirmação, poder e legitimação, por parte dos cientistas sociais em geral, e corresponderiam a clivagens que são analisadas a partir das origens sociais dessas professoras e das relações de sociabilidade em que elas se enredavam. O autor mostra que tais origens e relações teriam interferido na carreira delas (posições, cargos, títulos conquistados e obras produzidas). Ele usa como referenciais teóricos, principalmente, obras de Pierre Bourdieu e de Norbert Elias, e se vale de textos biográficos, autobiográficos, depoimentos, entrevistas, memoriais e cartas. O trabalho se insere no âmbito dos estudos da sociologia da cultura, mais especificamente na chamada história intelectual ou sociologia da vida intelectual.This paper, whose principal objective are make a sociological interpretation about the actuation of productors of Social Sciences from USP, research aspects of the intellectual trajectories of female professors from the Socials Science course of Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras, of the Universidade de São Paulo, inquire symbolic arguments typical of intellectual groups and with the intention obtaining academic affirmation in the Cathedras of this Course. In addition, such arguments matches would be inherent in the search of affirmations, power and legitimation, by social scientists in general, and they would correspond to cleavages that are analyzed starting from the social origins of these female professors and from the sociability relationship in which they are entangled. The author shows which these origins and relationships would have been interferenced in their careers (positions, achieved titles and produced works). He uses like theoretical references, mainly, works of Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias, and to have recourse of biographical and autobiographical texts, testimonies, interviews, memorials and letters. The paper is inserting in the environment of studies of sociology of culture, more specifically in the called intellectual history or intellectual life sociology.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies the reception of Aristotle's political thought in sixteenth-century Italy. It focuses on Aristotle's discussion of the dissolution of constitutions in Book 5 of the Politics and aims to show how Aristotle's political thought remained central to late Renaissance political discourse. No comprehensive study of the topic exists. Modern historiography on Renaissance political thought generally downplays the importance of Aristotle in the history of sixteenth-century Italian political thought and emphasises the Roman tradition over the Greek. This research aims to fill the gap in modern scholarship and revise modern interpretation of Renaissance political theory. This thesis is essentially divided into three parts, each part containing two chapters. Part I is largely introductory. Chapter 1 offers a historiographical review of modern scholarship on the reception of Aristotle in the Renaissance and early-modern political thought. Chapter 2 explores the revival of Greek studies in the fifteenth century and the changing perception of Aristotle's Politics in the Renaissance. Part II focuses on Aristotle and Machiavelli. Chapter 3 examines the similarities between Aristotle's analysis of the means of preserving tyranny and Machiavelli's discussion of how to mantenere lo stato in The Prince. Chapter 4 explores the effects that these similarities between Aristotle and Machiavelli had on the reception of Aristotle in Renaissance political thought. Part III centres on Aristotle in the republican and vernacular traditions. Chapter 5 explains the importance of Aristotle's discussion of the dissolution of constitutions to Renaissance republican political thought. Chapter 6 underlines the continuous relevance of Aristotle's Politics in the second half of the sixteenth century. The conclusion sums up the central argument of each chapter and invites us to explore the influence of Aristotle on reason of state literature.

O presente estudo de dissertação de mestrado buscou abordar uma leitura sobre o Brasil - em seu passado e presente – circunscrito ao contexto político e social das décadas de 1920 e 1930, período reconhecido como de formação do próprio campo de História do Brasil. No momento em que se definia a História, se ciência ou se arte, e os historiadores, a figura do intelectual engajado, homem público de política e de letras abria um espaço de disputas pela promoção de um discurso. É nesse espaço que se insere Oliveira Vianna, intelectual no sentido mais amplo da palavra que fez da História seu caminho argumentativo para pensar a política e sociedade brasileiras. Por tantos anos personificado sob inúmeras alcunhas, tentou-se aqui resgatar não tanto o próprio Oliveira Vianna, mas o Brasil nascido a partir de seu pensamento e delimitar o real alcance de suas ideias.
This study dissertation sought to address a reading of Brazil - in his past and present - limited to the political and social context of the 1920s and 1930s, recognized as period of formation of the own field of the history of Brazil. The moment that defined the history, whether science or art, and historians, the figure of the committed intellectual, policy and public man of letters opened a dispute space by promoting a speech. It is in this space that is part Oliveira Vianna, intellectual in the broadest sense of the word that made history his argumentative way to think politics and Brazilian society. For so many years personified under numerous monikers, he tried to rescue here not so much own Oliveira Vianna, but Brazil born from his thought and define the actual scope of his ideas.

Full textAbstract:
protein chemistry, unnatural amino acids, chemical biology, proteomicsThe foundation of political societies is a central theme in Rousseau's work. This is no surprise coming from a man who was born into a people who had their own celebrated founder and foundations, and immersed himself in the writings of classical republicans and the quasi-mythical histories of ancient city-states where the heroic lawgiver played an important and legitimate role in political foundations. However, Rousseau's propositional political writings (those written for Geneva, Corsica, and Poland) have been accused of being unsystematic and running the spectrum from conservative and prudent to radical and utopian. It is this seeming incongruence which is the subject of this thesis. In particular, it is argued that this confusion is born out the failure to recognize a systematic distinction between "founding" and "re-founding" political societies in both the history of political thought, and Rousseau's own work (a distinction in Rousseau which has rarely been noted, let alone treated to a study of its own). By recognizing this distinction one can identify two Rousseaus; the conservative and prudent thinker who is wary of making changes to established political systems and constitutional foundations (the re-founder), and the radical democrat fighting for equality, and claiming that no state is legitimate without popular sovereignty (the founder). In demonstrating this distinction, this thesis examines the ancient concept of the lawgiver, the growth and expansion of the idea leading up to the eighteenth century, Rousseau's own philosophic writings on the topic, and the differing political proposals he wrote for Geneva, Corsica, and Poland. The thesis argues that although there is a clear separation between these two types of political proposals, they remain systematically Rousseauvian.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis takes the French revue Lignes (1987-present) as its object of study to provide a new account of French intellectual culture over the last twenty-five years. Whilst there are now many studies covering the role of such revues throughout the twentieth-century, the majority of such monographs extend no further than the mid-1980s: the major novelty of this thesis is extending these accounts up until the present moment. It is largely assumed that a reaction against the Marxist and structuralist theories of the 1960s and 1970s led to embrace of liberalism and an intellectual drift to the right in France from the 1980s onwards: whilst largely supporting this account, the thesis attempts to nuance this narrative of the fate of the intellectual left in the following years by showing the persistence of what can be called a politicised 'French theory' in Lignes, and a returning left-wing militancy in recent years. In doing so, it will both reveal under-studied aspects of well-known thinkers, such as Jean-Luc Nancy, Jacques Rancière and Alain Badiou, as their thought develops through their participation in a collaborative, periodical publication, and introduce lesser known thinkers who have not received an extended readership in Anglophone spheres. Lignes also argues for the continued persistence and relevance of the thought of a previous generation of thinkers, notably Georges Bataille, Maurice Blanchot and Dionys Mascolo, and the thesis concludes by examining the potential role 'French Theory' could still have in France. Furthermore, as revues provide a unique nexus of intellectual, cultural, social and political concerns, the thesis also provides a unique history of France from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the 2007 financial crisis and the Arab Spring. Much of the thesis is concerned with contextualising intellectual debates within a period characterised by the moralisation of discourses, a return of religion, the global installation of neo-liberalism and the eruption of immigration as a controversial European issue. From a relatively theoretical and politically stable position to the left of the Parti socialiste, Lignes therefore provides a privileged vantage point for the mutations in French social and cultural life throughout the period.

Full textAbstract:
During the eighteenth century, the dominant rhetorical and explanatory power of civic humanism was gradually challenged by the rise of a new organising language in political economy. Political economic thought permitted radically different descriptions of what laudable private and public behaviour might be: it proposed that self-interest was often more beneficial to society at large than public-mindedness; that luxury had its uses and might not be a threat to liberty and political integrity; that landownership was no particular guarantee of virtue or disinterest; and that there was nothing inherently superior about frugality and self-sufficiency. These new ideas about civil society formed the intellectual basis of a large body of verse written during the long eighteenth century (at mid-century in particular), in which poets engaged enthusiastically with political economic arguments and defences of commercial activity, and celebrated the wealth and plenty of Britain as a modern trading nation. The work of my thesis is to examine a contradiction in the way in which these political economic ideas were handled. Forward-looking and confident poetry on public themes did not develop pioneering forms to suit the modernity of its outlook: instead, poets articulated such themes in verse by appropriating and reframing traditional genres, which in some cases involved engaging with inherited moral values and philosophical preferences entirely at odds with the intellectual material in hand. This inventive kind of generic revision is the central interest of the thesis. It aims to describe a number of problematic meeting points between new political economic thought and handed-down poetic formulae, and it will focus attention on some of the ways in which poets manipulated the forms and tropes they inherited in order to manage – and make the most of – the resulting contradictions.

Full textAbstract:
Between 1830 and 1914 in Britain a dramatic modification of the reputation of Edmund Burke (1730-97) occurred. Burke, an Irishman and Whig politician, is now most commonly known as the 'founder of modern conservatism' – an intellectual tradition which is also deeply connected to the identity of the British Conservative party. Indeed, the idea of 'Burkean conservatism’ – a political philosophy which upholds ‘the authority of tradition', the organic, historic conception of society, and the necessity of order, religion, and property – has been incredibly influential both in international academic analysis and in the wider political world. This is an intellectual construct of high significance, but its origins have not hitherto been understood: insofar as it has been considered at all, it has been typically seen as the work of Cold War American conservatives. In contrast, this thesis demonstrates that the transformation of Burke into the 'founder of conservatism' was in fact part of wider developments in British political, intellectual, and cultural history in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Drawing from a wide range of sources, including political texts, parliamentary speeches, histories, biographies, and educational curricula, this thesis provides a properly contextual history of political thought. It shows how and why Burke's reputation was transformed over a formative period of British history. In doing so, it bridges the significant gap between the history of political thought as conventionally understood and the history of the making of political traditions. The result is to show that, by 1914, Burke had been firmly established as a 'conservative' political philosopher and was admired and utilised by political Conservatives in Britain who identified themselves as his intellectual heirs. This was one essential component of a conscious re-working of 'C/conservatism', especially from the mid-1880s, which is still at work today.

Da confluência entre o conceito de texto artístico de Iuri Lotman e a teoria do cinema intelectual de Sergei Eisenstein, este trabalho oferece uma análise do filme Vida humilde (1997) de Aleksandr Sokúrov. De estudos de Eisenstein sobre a lógica composicional do pensamento por imagens, foi compilado um conjunto de ferramentas analíticas a fim de se investigar a imagem geral do filme. Por meio de tais ferramentas, é investigada a relação entre a construção plástica do filme e a percepção da imagem de uma vida humilde. Ainda alinhada à teoria da montagem eisensteiniana, essa imagem é proposta como resultante intelectual de outras três imagens: as da circularidade, da harmonia e da homologia. Desta maneira o filme é esquadrinhado de maneira a salientar os elementos formais que possibilitam sua decodificação como qualidades abstratas.Through the articulation between the concept of artistic text of Juri Lotman and the theory of intellectual cinema of Sergei Eisenstein, this work offers an analysis of the film Humble life (1997) of Aleksandr Sokurov. Eisenstein\'s studies on the compositional thought on the logic of images, gave rise to a compilation of analytical tools in order to investigate the overall image of the film. Thus, analyzing the relationship between the construction of the plastic film and the overall image of a humble life. Still aligned to Eisenstein\'s theory of montage, this image is proposed as an intellectual result from three other images: circularity, harmony and homology. In this way the film is scanned in order to emphasize the formal elements that enables us to decode it as abstract qualities.

A critical investigation of the public/private distinction as it has been conceived in Anglo-American political thinking in the second half of the 20th century. A broadly held consensus has developed amongst many theorists that public/private does not refer to any single determinate distinction or relationship but rather to an often ambiguous range of related but analytically distinct conceptual oppositions. The argument of this thesis is that if we approach public/private in the search for analytic or conceptual clarity then this consensus is correct. Against this I propose that a number of the most dominant invocations of the distinction can be understood to express public/private as an irreducibly political dialectic that mediates the relationship between the subjective and objective side of social and political life. By locating these conceptually diverse invocations within a broader and more determinate framework of the historical development and contestation of the boundaries which establish the conditions for subjectivity, as the assertion of political agency, on the one hand, and which demarcate, police and defend these particular boundaries, as part of the objectively given character of social life and institutional organisation, on the other hand, then a more determinate character to public/private can be recognized. I then seek to explore the capacity of this model to capture and explain the peculiar post-war problematisation of public/private amongst a number of new left thinkers in Britain and America.

Full textAbstract:
My doctoral thesis examines the intellectual and political relationship between England and the general councils of the Church from the Council of Pisa until the Council of Trent. It illuminates the hitherto unexplored features of the revolution that was the end of universal papal authority. With the transfer of spiritual authority to Henry VIII, the heads of England’s Protestant regimes inherited the papacy’s distrust of the general council, which had the potential to interfere with the course of the reformation in England. At the same time, the thesis examines the changing nature of public commitment to universal decision-making in the Church in the face of resistance by hierarchs (papal or royal). It finds a widespread support for the general council over the period, but also a plurality of views about how conciliar government could be reconciled with monarchical rule in the Church. In the fifteenth century, conciliarism had to contend with the suspicions of those who wished to shore up the Church hierarchy against Wycliffite attacks. In the sixteenth century, there was still competition between the establishment’s defence of an hierarchical Church, directed by the monarchy, and theories which stressed the importance of conciliar government. These arguments took different shapes when used by popular rebels in favour of traditional religion grounded on conciliar consent, or by Protestants in favour of synodal government by the godly. But they were both outcomes of enduring instabilities in the ideology of Church government, which had their roots in the fifteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
This study is centred around the thoughts and contributions of three Egyptian Udaba namely, Taha Husayn (d. 1973), Muhammad Husayn Haykal (d. 1956), and 'Abbas Mahmud al-'Aqqad (d. 1964). The significance of their writings lies partly in the critical period in which they appeared, which was a period of religious, spiritual and national crisis. On the religious side, it was not confined to Egypt, but covered the whole Islamic world for it was the period in which the Ottoman Caliphate was abolished. With the collapse of Islamic political power, the Christian missionary thrust tried to penetrate the core of Islamic belief itself by portraying Islam as a necessary obstacle to progress. For this purpose, several attacks were simultaneously engineered. One was directed against the Arabic language which was described as unfit for modern usage. Its replacement by spoken dialects would have meant creating a delinkage between language and the Qur'an, relegating the Qur'an to the position of a liturgical and ritualistic document that interests only a few scholars and religious specialists. Another attack was directed against Arabic literature casting doubts on its content and value for modern generations with new thoughts, ideas and aspirations. A more powerful attack was directed against the Prophet Muhammad, and his companions and immediate successors. The Udaba' took up the challenge by upholding the Arabic language, expounding the true facts of the Prophet's life, and by introducing new styles of literature which derive from the Islamic fountainhead, and using styles attractive to modern readers. Among other things, the thesis shows how the Udaba's contributions in this respect were instrumental in blunting the attacks of missionaries, and incidentally, in pre-empting the attacks of Marxism which assumed dangerous proportions after World War II. Their assertion of the dignity of Islam and of the unquestionable Islamic identity of Egypt and of the great potentials of the Arabic language will remain as lasting contributions.

The objective of this work is to interpret the performance of José Américo de Almeida from a sociological viewpoint, in a context which comprises the period between the years 1920 and 1960. This period was marked by the modernization of industry, political and artistic transformations, and the shaping of Brazilian social thought. We have sought to highlight aspects of the writer s intellectual trajectory which signify contributions to the Social Sciences, expressed both through his writings and actions in the literary, political and scientific fields. The discussion has originated in the dialogue struck up between the interpreters of the National in the process of the institutionalization of Social Sciences in Brazil, and the intellectual from Paraíba, and involves the analysis of his works, including scientific texts, novels, autobiography, speeches, interviews, memoirs and letters, dealing with themes related to a modern, democratic Brazil where there is a mixture of races. The conclusion was reached that the contribution of José Américo towards the shaping of Brazilian social thought , in the scientific field, lies in his proposal of an anthrosociology, which defends positivities (creativity, resistance and diversity)in the mixed-race national identity, and its disassociation from social and economic backwardness. The lack of development is understood by him as the effect of the lack of a democratization of power and capital. This inspired his disclosure and social criticism in the novels, which have become his innovative contribution to the literary field In the political field his contribution is his idea of democracy. The theoretical and methodological foundation on which the present work is based is the theory of reflexivity of Pierre Bourdieu, highlighting the concepts of Field and Habitus. This research belongs to the ambit of studies of intellectual trajectories, more specifically, in the field of Brazilian social thought.
O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de interpretar sociologicamente a atuação de José Américo de Almeida, num contexto compreendendo os anos de 1920 a 1960, período marcado pela modernização industrial, pelas transformações políticas e artísticas e pela formação do pensamento social brasileiro, buscando destacar aspectos de sua trajetória intelectual que denotam contribuições para as Ciências Sociais, expressas por meio de obras e ações nos campos literário, político e científico. A discussão é feita a partir do diálogo travado entre os intérpretes do Nacional no processo de institucionalização das Ciências Sociais no Brasil e o intelectual paraibano, envolvendo a análise de obras deste, a saber, textos científicos, romance, autobiografia, discursos, entrevistas, memórias e cartas, girando em torno de temáticas relativas ao Brasil moderno, democrático e miscigenado. A conclusão é que a contribuição de José Américo para a formação do pensamento social brasileiro, no campo científico, reside em sua proposta de uma antrossociologia, na qual defende positividades (criatividade, resistência e diversidade) na identidade nacional miscigenada e sua dissociação com o atraso social e econômico, entendendo a falta de desenvolvimento como efeito da ausência de uma democratização do poder e do capital, o que inspirou sua denúncia e crítica social no romance que veio a se tornar sua contribuição inovadora no campo literário e, no campo político, sua ideia de democracia. O referencial teórico e metodológico do trabalho se apóia na teoria da reflexividade de Pierre Bourdieu, destacadamente os conceitos de Campo e Habitus. A pesquisa se insere no âmbito dos estudos de trajetória intelectual, mais especificamente no campo do pensamento social brasileiro.

The inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities requires the development of educational proposals for learning the content established in school. The guidelines established by PMSP seek operationalize the teaching strategies geared towards students with disabilities included in regular education classes through the support of Regent's professor of Follow-up and support room the inclusion. Whose current instrument is the document entitled "Evaluation Referential About Student Learning with Intellectual Disabilities Elementary School I" (São Paulo, 2008), based on "Curriculum Guidelines Preposition of Expectations of Learning Elementary School I" (2007). This document is intended to support the evaluation of the teacher of the classroom, have students with intellectual disabilities, to analyse the learning process and propose actions for the resizing of the pedagogical practices. This research aims to analyze the guidelines, conceptions and theoretical and practical propositions contained in this Benchmark, by matching them with those contained in the guidelines for Curriculum students considered normal. The analysis of the data collected and organized, the documents cited above, was based on the contributions of Vygotsky (1997, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009), in particular the concepts of zone of proximal development, mediation processes and exploration of abstraction ability of students with intellectual disabilities. The main findings of the investigation can be thus described: 1) that the suggested adaptations Express, by lentificação and reduction of content, the prospect of impossibility of access to written language, but that expectations of school content learning (Oral Language, mathematics, science, geography and history) promote generally the development of abstract thought, which shows that the prospect of irreversibility of mental deficiency lies especially in relation to the field of written language; 2) the constant reiteration that indicated expectations can only be met with support from the teacher or more experienced colleagues are damaging to the development of abstract thought, which meets with the vygostskyana perspective, that the document claims to be its theoretical basis
A inclusão dos alunos com deficiência intelectual requer o desenvolvimento de propostas educacionais para a aprendizagem dos conteúdos estabelecidos na escola. As orientações estabelecidas pela PMSP procuram operacionalizar as estratégias de ensino voltadas para alunos com deficiência incluídos em classes do ensino regular através do apoio do professor regente da Sala de Apoio e Acompanhamento à Inclusão SAAI, cujo instrumento atual é o documento intitulado Referencial de Avaliação sobre a Aprendizagem do Aluno com Deficiência Intelectual RAADI Ensino Fundamental I (São Paulo, 2008), baseado nas Orientações Curriculares Preposição de Expectativas de Aprendizagem Ensino Fundamental I (São Paulo, 2007). Este documento tem o objetivo de subsidiar a avaliação do professor da sala de aula comum, que tenham alunos com deficiência intelectual, para analisar o processo de aprendizagem e propor ações para o redimensionamento das práticas pedagógicas. Esta pesquisa teve o objetivo de analisar as orientações, as concepções e proposições teórico-práticas contidas nesse Referencial, cotejando-as com aquelas contidas nas Orientações Curriculares destinadas aos alunos considerados normais. A análise dos dados colhidos e organizados, dos documentos citado acima, foi realizada com base nas contribuições de Vygotsky (1997, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009), em especial os conceitos de zona de desenvolvimento proximal, processos de mediação e exploração da capacidade de abstração dos alunos com deficiência intelectual. Os principais achados da investigação podem ser assim descritos: 1) que as adaptações sugeridas expressam, pela lentificação e redução do conteúdo, a perspectiva de impossibilidade de acesso à língua escrita, mas que as expectativas de aprendizagem dos demais conteúdos escolares (Linguagem Oral, Matemática, Ciências, Geografia e História) favorecem, de maneira geral, o desenvolvimento de pensamento abstrato, o que revela que a perspectiva de irreversibilidade da deficiência mental reside especialmente em relação ao domínio da língua escrita; 2) a reiteração constante de que as expectativas indicadas só podem ser cumpridas com apoio do professor ou de colegas mais experientes prejudicam o desenvolvimento do pensamento abstrato, o que vai de encontro com a perspectiva vygostskyana, que o documento afirma ser sua base teórica

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation argues that transatlantic abolitionists used the Bible to condemn American slavery as a national sin that would be punished by God. In a chronological series of thematic chapters, it demonstrates how abolitionists developed a sustained critique of American slavery at its various developing stages from the American Revolution to the Civil War. In its analysis of abolitionist anti-slavery arguments, “The Bible Against Slavery” focuses on sources that abolitionists generated. In their books, sermons, and addresses they arraigned the oppressive aspects of American slavery. This study shows how American and British abolitionists applied biblical precepts to define the maltreatment of African Americans as sins not only against the enslaved, but also against God. The issues abolitionists exposed to biblical scrutiny, and that are analyzed in this dissertation, correlate with recent scholarly treatments of American slavery.
American slavery evolved in the period bracketed by the American Revolution and the Civil War. From 1790 to 1808 American slavery transitioned from reliance on the international slave trade to a domestic market. Abolitionists’ anti-slavery arguments likewise transitioned from focusing on the maltreatment of the immigrant, widow and orphan, to a focus on the proliferation of the sexual exploitation of women and the destruction of African American families. Abolitionists challenged every evolutionary step of American slavery. They argued that slavery was responsible for the destruction of American cities and the split of the British Empire during the crisis of the Revolution. They also denounced the constitutional compromises that protected slavery for 78 years, they challenged its spread westward, decried its dehumanization and sexual exploitation of African Americans, and its destruction of African American families. They galvanized a generation of women anti-slavery activists that launched the feminist movement. Abolitionists’ prediction, meanwhile, that divine retribution would come remained constant. Abolitionists produced such a prodigious body of biblical anti-slavery literature that by the Civil War, their arguments were echoed among northern pastors and even President Abraham Lincoln.

"Conscience and its referents : the meaning and place of conscience in the moral thought of Joseph Butler and the ethical rationalism of Samuel Clarke, John Balguy and Richard Price." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2015. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:427a4657-7701-4c68-bb05-353100ee9a73.
Full textAbstract:
Joseph Butler's moral thought and the ethical rationalism of Samuel Clarke, and his followers, John Balguy and Richard Price, are frequently distinguished, as a result of: (a) Butler’s empirical method (e.g., Kydd, Sturgeon); (b) Butler's emphasis upon self-love in the 'cool hour passage' (e.g., Prichard, McPherson); (c) Butlerian conscience, where, on a neo-Kantian reading, Butler surpassed the Clarkeans by conveying a sense of Kantian 'reflective endorsement' (e.g., Korsgaard, Darwall). The neo-Kantian criticisms of the Clarkeans in (c) are consistent with (d) Francis Hutcheson's and David Hume's criticisms of the Clarkeans; (e) modern criticisms of rational intuitionism that follow Hutcheson and Hume (e.g., Mackie, Warnock); and (f) the contention that the Clarkeans occupied an uneasy position within 'post-restoration natural law theory' (e.g., Beiser, Finnis). (d)-(e) thus underpin the distinction between Butler and the Clarkeans in (a)-(c), where the Clarkeans, unlike Butler, are criticised for representing moral truth as the passive, and self-evident, perception of potentially uninteresting facts. This study responds to (a)-(f), by arguing that Butlerian and Clarkean conscience possessed more than one referent; so that conscience meant an individual's experience of his own judgement and God’s judgement and the rational moral order. As a result of their shared theory of conscience, Butler and the Clarkeans held the same theory of moral development: moral agents mature as they move from obeying conscience according to only one of conscience's referents, to obeying conscience because to do so is to satisfy each of conscience's referents. In response to (a)-(b), this study demonstrates that the Clarkeans agreed with Butler’s method and 'cool hour': natural considerations of individual judgement and self-interest were necessary aspects of the progress towards moral maturity in both Butler and the Clarkeans. With respect to (c), it is argued that Butler and the Clarkeans shared the same understanding of practical moral reasoning as part of their shared understanding of conscience and moral development. This study places limits upon proto-Kantian readings of Butler, and neo-Kantian criticisms of the Clarkeans, while making it inconsistent to divide Butler and the Clarkeans on the basis of Butlerian conscience. In answer to (c)-(f), Clarkean conscience shows that the Clarkeans were neither complacent nor ‘externalists’. Clarkean conscience highlights how the Clarkeans positioned themselves within the tradition of Ciceronian right reason and Thomistic natural law. Consequently, in both Butler and the Clarkeans, the intuition of moral truth was not the passive perception of an 'independent realm' of normative fact, but the active encounter, in conscience, with reason qua the law of God’s nature, human nature, and the created universe.

Full textAbstract:
A história política paraguaia pauta-se por longos períodos de predomínio dos dois principais grupos políticos agrupados nos partidos Colorado e Liberal, constatando-se na evolução da estrutura histórica a manutenção de seu predomínio, nos períodos de autoritarismo bem como nos de democratização. O presente trabalho propõe-se a demonstrar que a ideologia é um elemento importante no processo de dominação política no Paraguai, visando sua legitimação, constituindo-se em uma hegemonia. Observa-se que o dinamismo interno dos partidos provido pelas lutas internas partidárias, engendrando em uma estrutura partidária e em um discurso ideológico flexíveis, possibilita a sua continuação ao longo do tempo. Procura-se analisar qual o papel do discurso ideológico na dinâmica interna dos partidos, se influencia no processo de adaptação que permite a sua manutenção histórica. Neste âmbito, busca-se apreciar qual o papel dos intelectuais orgânicos – com atuação na estrutura partidária – na conformação e manutenção do bloco histórico, a fim de observar se de fato o elemento ideológico constitui-se em relevante ferramenta para a sua manutenção. Intenta-se compreender como se comportou historicamente o desenvolvimento do processo de hegemonia dos grupos sociais dominantes, e como este fenômeno possibilitou a acomodação dos interesses divergentes e concorrentes de alguns setores do bloco, e desses com os setores operários e camponeses, mantendo o modelo hegemônico de dominação. A partir do estudo de cinco períodos, procura-se identificar quais são os discursos ideológicos dos partidos Colorado e Liberal, a partir de intelectuais orgânicos representantes das principais correntes dos partidos, assim como elementos que os diferenciam e outros que permanecem ao longo do tempo, visando encontrar a ideia central e os elementos essenciais que movem a ação política partidária. Para tanto, utilizar-se-ão duas classes de fontes empíricas para a pesquisa: as convenções partidárias e suas declarações ideológicas, ademais de obras da produção de intelectuais orgânicos representantes dos dois projetos hegemônicos.The Paraguayan political history is guided by long predominance periods of the two main political groups grouped in Colorado and Liberal parties, finding in the evolution of the historic structure the maintain of its dominance in both periods of authoritarianism as in democratization. This paper aims to demonstrate that ideology is an important element in the political domination process in Paraguay, seeking its legitimacy, thus becoming a hegemony. It is observed that the internal dynamics of the parties provided by party infighting, engendering in a party structure and a flexible ideological discourse, enables its continuation over time. Seeks to analyze the role of ideological discourse in the internal dynamics of the parties, whether or not influence the adaptation process that allows its historical maintenance. In this context, the aim is to assess what is the role of organic intellectuals – operating in the party structure – in the formation and maintenance of the historical bloc, in order to see if in fact the ideological element constitutes a relevant tool for its maintenance. Attempts to understand how historically behaved the development of hegemony process of dominant social groups, and how this phenomenon has enabled the accommodation of divergent and competing interests of some sectors of the bloc, and those with the workers and peasants sectors, maintaining the hegemonic model of domination. From the study of five periods, seeks to identify what are the ideological discourses of the Colorado and Liberal parties in those moments, from organic intellectuals representatives of mainstream political parties, as well as elements that differentiate the parties and others who remain over time, aimed at finding the central idea and the essential elements that move the partisan political action. To this end, shall be used two classes of empirical sources for the research: the party conventions and their ideological statements, in addition to works of the production of organic intellectual representatives of the two hegemonic projects.
