A philosophic account of quantum physics. The thesis is divided into two parts. Part I is dedicated to laying the groundwork of quantum physics, and explaining some of the primary difficulties. Subjects of interest will include the principle of locality, the quantum uncertainty principle, and Einstein's criterion for reality. Quantum dilemmas discussed include the double-slit experiment, observations of spin and polarization, EPR, and Bell's theorem. The first part will argue that mathematical-physical descriptions of the world fall short of explaining the experimental observations of quantum phenomenon. The problem, as will be argued, is framework of the physical descriptive schema. Part I includes in-depth discussions of mathematical principles. Part II will discuss the Copenhagen interpretation as put forth by its founders. The Copenhagen interpretation will be expressed as a paradox: The classical physical language cannot describe quantum phenomenon completely and with certainty, yet this language is the only possible method of articulating the physical world. The paradox of Copenhagen will segway into Kant's critique of metaphysics. Kant's understanding of causality, things-in-themselves, and a priori synthetic metaphysics. The thesis will end with a conclusion of the quantum paradox by juxtaposing anti-materialist Martin Heidegger with quantum founder Werner Heisenberg. Our conclusion will be primarily a discussion of how we understand the world, and specifically how our understanding of the world creates potential for truth.

Kahn's genre of travel sketches offers us a visual basis to map his philosophical meandering. This thesis addresses the sketches produced from Kahn's voyages around the Mediterranean in 1950-51 and 1959 with an aim to understanding the premises that underlie them. During the trips, Kahn conjectured in his graphic oeuvre a dialogical method with the built forms of antiquity. On the one hand, he sought answers to his architectural and epistemological questions to these buildings; at another level, he re-contextualized the buildings in an imagined landscape that would in tum inform his imperatives. The sketches also permit an interesting theoretical commentary as they parallel Kahn's emergence into active architectural career in the fifties. At first encounter, some of them seem to be perplexing, but once extended into the context in which Kahn operated, they reveal an interwoven terrain of concepts that would continuously flower. There is no doubt that in his travel sketches Kahn was fighting a protracted battle about his architecture and that he benefited from the buildings of the past--but mostly at an epistemological level. Kahn raised questions on architecture that could have not been addressed by a formal retrieval of history. In that sense Kahn's travel sketches reappraise and re-propose the lessons of history.

This dissertation attempts to account for the paralysis of Adorno and Horkheimer's Dialectic of Enlightenment, and thus of radical critique in relation to practice in general. It begins by demonstrating that there is a methodological problem in the connection of the dialectical method to Adorno and Horkheimer's philosophy of history, which posits Enlightenment both as break with the history of reason, and as ahistorical concept of that history. The dissertation takes as its point of departure their discussion of Kant, as exemplary Enlightenment thinker. I will use Martin Jay's The Dialectical Imagination and Axel Honneth's Critique of Power- Reflective Stages in a Critical Social Theory here. The strategy of the next section is to rehistoricise Kant's thought and thus the Enlightenment within its historical moment. This follows a close reading of Kant's political philosophy in his' An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?' and 'Contest of the Faculties' to show that Kant poses the problem of the morality versus politics in terms inseparable from his historical context: the emergence of the Modem state, and the French revolution. Two solutions to this problem present themselves within Kant's separation of public and private uses of reason. Public and private anticipates the Modem separation of state and civil society: 'moral-political' problem is thus solved by 'publicity', which plays a mediating role. A subtextual reading however, proposes that the public/private split refers to an internalisation of the political principle in what Etienne Balibar calls the 'citizen subject'. We will use Balibar's paper, ""Citizen Subject"", to show that the 'citizen subject' of Modernity emerges with the French revolution. Finally, these two possible solutions to the Kantian moral-political problem will be mapped to the political philosophical models of power of Hannah Arendt and Jürgen Habermas, and Michel Foucault respectively. Foucault's model of 'disciplinary' power will be connected to the 'citizen subject' while Habermas and Arendt's normative conceptions of publicness in their juridico-political models of power will be mapped to the first solution based on the dualism state/civil society. I will make use of Cohen and Arato's Civil Society and Political Theory, as well as various other secondary texts on political philosophy here. The last section will work out more clearly the relationship between Foucault's genealogical critique, the 'citizen subject' and the French revolution. It will show the similarity between Foucault's genealogy and the dialectical method in relation to Kant's historical reflection on his own present. To work out the conditions of this mode of what we will call radical critique of the present by Kant, and its basis on a Modern philosophy of history we will turn to Hannah Arendt's reading of Kant's political philosophy from his Aesthetics. Here Reinhart Koselleck' s Futures Past - On the Semantics of Historical Time will prove instructive on the link between Kant's philosophy of history, based on the metahistorical concept of revolution and Kant's judgement of the French revolution as historical event. The main thesis of this dissertation is that the radical critique of the present, in this case that of Foucault's genealogy and the dialectical philosophy of history of Adorno and Horkheimer are caught up in the same contradictions as Kant's radical judgement of the French revolution; and that this problem takes on an aesthetic form .

This thesis has four primary aims. Firstly, I develop an account of Adorno’s critique of Kant and Hegel’s philosophy. I argue that the role and structure of judgement is key to his critical analysis. Adorno's discussion of their metaphysics, epistemology revolves around an immanent critique of judgement. This critique reveals, in the dialectical sense, the irreducibility of the 'negative moment' within judgement. This critical exposition grounds the second aim of the thesis. Analysis of Kant and Hegel's philosophies enables us to discern a number of key concepts in Adorno's own thought, concepts which will help us to understand his notion of negativity. In particular, his dialectical critique produces a constellation of critical - or negative - dialectical concepts: conceptless [begriffslose], non-identity [Nichtidentität], mediation [Vermittlung]. The generation of these concepts and their elucidation provides the basis for the third aim: to give a textually viable and philosophically fruitful explanation of key commitments in Adorno’s negative dialectics. I argue that negative dialectics does not amount to a system, a standpoint, or even a set of principles. Rather, it is a critical activity. The commitments, which revolve around the constellation of concepts outlined above, indicate a critical sensitivity to the limits of epistemology and metaphysics and the problem that these limits pose for judgement. Finally, I develop the resources to answer Michael Rosen’s claim that Adorno’s rejection of Hegelian determinate negation leaves his dialectics without any dynamic force. Drawing upon aesthetics, we can better understand the dynamics of negative dialectics. Aesthetic engagement with artworks not only demonstrates an appropriate orientation of philosophy to material, it is also an appropriate medium through which we can gain a clearer understanding of the philosophical commitments elucidated above.

The main theme of this PhD thesis is the representation of the unconditioned in the Critique of Pure Reason. It is argued an essential function of the unconditioned for the preparation of logical and transcendental activities of speculative reason. There is in this work, in a new light, the defense of exposition of some theses about the following sub-themes: 1) the origin of transcendent concepts necessary mode in consciousness; 2) the definition of transcendental appearance; 3) the development and solution of the antinomy of pure reason; 4) the definition of transcendental freedom; 5) the exposition of the function of speculative reason in the establishment of scientific knowledge. Themes (1) and (2) are covered in the first chapter through the exposition of the function of representation of the unconditioned in the development of subjective derivation of transcendental ideas carried out by Kant, of A293/B349 to A338/B396, in the Critique of Pure Reason. Themes (3) and (4) are treated in the second chapter, specifically in the presentation of the results of the research about The Antinomy of Pure Reason, in the second chapter of the second book of the Transcendental Dialectic, of A405/B432 to A568/B596. The theme (5) is found in the third chapter and it is presented by the defense of the thesis that the speculative reason has a vital role to scientific knowledge, it is obtained from the study about Appendix of the Transcendental Dialectic, of A642 / B670 to A705 / B733. It is defended here, ultimately, that all these issues are based on a fundamental thesis that permeates all Transcendental Dialectic, namely that the unconditioned can be determined as a transcendental element with a regulative empirical use of all experience to establish a systematic unity of all objective knowledge.
O tema central desta Tese é a representação do incondicionado dentro da Crítica da Razão Pura. Defende-se uma função imprescindível do incondicionado para elaboração das atividades lógica e transcendental da razão especulativa. Encontra-se aqui, sob uma nova ótica, a apresentação da defesa de algumas teses acerca dos seguintes temas secundários: 1) a origem de conceitos transcendentes de modo necessário no pensamento; 2) a definição de aparência transcendental; 3) a elaboração e solução da antinomia da razão pura; 4) a definição de liberdade transcendental; 5) a exposição da função da razão especulativa no estabelecimento do conhecimento científico. Os temas (1) e (2) são abordados no primeiro capítulo através da exposição da função da representação do incondicionado no desenvolvimento da derivação subjetiva das ideias transcendentais realizada por Kant na Crítica da Razão Pura de A293/B349 a A338/B396. Os temas (3) e (4) são tratados no segundo capítulo, mais precisamente na apresentação dos resultados da investigação do A Antinomia da Razão Pura, segundo capítulo do segundo livro da Dialética Transcendental, de A405/B432 a A568/B596. O tema (5) é encontrado no terceiro capítulo e será apresentado através da defesa da tese, obtida a partir do estudo do Apêndice da Dialética Transcendental, de A642/B670 a A705/B733, que a razão especulativa tem uma função imprescindível para o conhecimento científico. Defender-se-á, em última análise, que todos esses temas são fundamentados em uma tese de fundo que perpassa toda Dialética Transcendental, a saber, que o incondicionado pode ser determinado como elemento transcendental com um uso empírico regulativo de toda experiência para o estabelecimento de uma unidade sistemática de todo conhecimento objetivo.

Cette thèse porte sur la question du fini et de l’infini dans la philosophie de Hegel. L’objectif est double. En premier lieu, elle vise à retracer l’influence exercée par la philosophie antique (principalement Platon et Aristote) et par la philosophie moderne (pour l’essentiel Kant et certains postkantiens) sur l’élaboration hégélienne des catégories de la finité et de l’infinité. En second lieu, elle étudie le développement systématique de la logique de l’infinité hégélienne à la lumière de cette influence. Il s’agit d’étudier, à travers une approche historique et critique, comment Hegel résout l’opposition traditionnelle du fini et de l’infini par sa théorie des deux infinis. A l’aune des conceptions de l’infinité-finie (la mauvaise infinité) et de l’infinité véritablement infinie (la véritable infinité), Hegel montre que le processus de la détermination du fini est un processus d’idéalisation qui supprime la contradiction du fini et de l’infini. Ainsi, l’enquête sur des concepts de finité et d’infinité permet de découvrir que l’idéalité spéculative est pour Hegel une réponse non seulement au problème traditionnel de leur articulation, mais aussi, plus généralement, aux problèmes soulevés par la caractérisation des idéalismes antiques et modernes
This dissertation aims at investigating the problem of the finite and the infinite within Hegel’s philosophy. Its objective is twofold. Firstly, it begins with an examination of the impact of the ancient Greek philosophy (especially that of Plato and Aristotle) and Modern philosophy (especially that of Kant and the post-Kantians) on Hegel’s own understanding of the categories of the finite and the infinite. Secondly, it attempts to analyze the systematic development of the logic of Hegelian infinity in relation to the ancient and modern influences. By adopting an historical and critical approach, this work therefore focuses on the question of how Hegel comes to solve the traditional opposition between the finite and the infinite with the help of his theory of two infinities. With the distinction between a finite infinity (namely a spurious infinity) and an infinity which is itself infinite (namely a true infinity), Hegel shows that the process of determination of the finite is itself a process of idealization which overcomes the very contradiction of the finite and the infinite. The inquiry into the concepts of the finite and infinite thus enables us to understand that the speculative ideality is an answer not only to the traditional opposition between the finite and infinite, but also to the problems raised by the definition of ancient and modern idealisms

A presente dissertação tem por objetivo central analisar as origens da dialética marxiana segundo Lucien Goldmann, pensador marxista, que de forma original defende a ideia que a referida dialética tem suas origens nas filosofias de Pascal e de Kant. Em primeiro lugar será feita uma introdução ao tema da dialética em três pensadores que no decorrer da História da Filosofia dedicaram enorme importância ao tema: Platão, Hegel e Marx. A questão da totalidade, ou processos totalizadores, bem como a metafísica e sua superação, fornecerão o pano de fundo para as análises das mesmas. Isso pavimentará o caminho para que seja abordada a origem da dialética marxiana em Pascal e em Kant. O primeiro é visto por Goldmann como aquele que critica o racionalismo individualista representado por Descartes, filósofo que constrói sua filosofia centrada na ideia do Eu. Pascal contrapõe ao Eu cartesiano o Nós, o todo, ou a relação partes e todo que se esclarecem mutuamente. Já o segundo é visto como o filósofo que leva o racionalismo individualista às últimas consequências, e mesmo não conseguindo superá-lo, traz de volta a ideia de comunidade humana, ideia perdida desde o fim da Idade Média, e que abre caminho para as Filosofias da História posteriores, principalmente a marxiana. Pascal e Kant ainda possuem mais dois pontos em comum: Em primeiro lugar a visão trágica do mundo, visão que se opõe ao racionalismo individualista, e cuja principal característica é tender para objetos suprassensíveis sem nunca atingi-los. E em segundo lugar o fragmento da aposta nos Pensamentos de Pascal, que com sua ideia de possibilidade de risco e fracasso, abre caminho para toda filosofia prática posterior, seja o imperativo categórico em Kant, seja a possibilidade da construção da sociedade comunista em Marx
This dissertation is aimed to analyse the origins of Marxian dialectics based on Lucien Goldmann, a Marxist philosopher who, in an original way, supports the idea that Marxian dialectics has its origins in the philosophies of Pascal and Kant. First, the idea of dialectics is introduced according to the view of three philosophers who, throughout the history of philosophy, devoted an enormous importance to this theme: Plato, Hegel and Marx. The issues of totalisation, or totalising processes, together with metaphysics and its overcoming, provide the background for their analysis, and paves the way for addressing Marxian dialectics in Pascal and Kant. Goldmann sees Pascal as the one who criticizes the individualist rationalism represented by Descartes, a philosopher who builds his philosophy centred on the Self (Moi). Pascal opposed to the Cartesian Self (Moi) to the idea of We (Nous), the whole, or a mutually clarifying relationship amongst the parts and the whole. Then Goldmann portrays Kant as a philosopher who takes the individualist rationalism to its ultimate consequences. Even though Kant could not overcome it, he brings back the idea of human community, something lost since the end of the Middle Ages, and clears the way for later history philosophies, especially the Marxian. Pascal and Kant still have two points in common. First they share a tragic view of the world. A view that opposes the individualistic rationalism, whose the main characteristic is to tend to supersensible objects, never reaching them. Secondly Pascal's Wager, as presented in his Pensées, introduces his idea of risk and failure. Such idea leads the way for all subsequent practical philosophy, either Kant 's categorical imperative or Marx’s work on the possibility of building a communist society.

Cette thèse fournit la première description détaillée du Kam (àŋwɔ̀m), une langue Niger-Congo parlée à Taraba State, dans le centre-est du Nigéria, par environ 8 000 à 10 000 personnes. La thèse propose une analyse de la grammaire et du lexique du Kam, informée par la typologie et la linguistique aréale, et contribue ainsi à notre compréhension de la structure grammaticale des langues Niger-Congo. Cette description est basée sur des nouvelles données linguistiques récoltées dans la communauté Kam entre 2016 et 2018. Elle se compose de six parties : (1) introduction, (2) analyse phonologique, (3) morphosyntaxe nominale, (4) morphosyntaxe verbale, (5) morphosyntaxe des propositions et (6) un échantillon de texte et un lexique composé de 1300 entrées. Les caractéristiques du Kam qui peuvent être d'un intérêt particulier pour la linguistique africaine et la linguistique générale comprennent les plosives labio-vélaires kp et gb ; une différence prosodique entre les positions fortes et les positions faibles dans les thèmes prosodiques ; la morphologie tonale utilisée pour la dérivation et pour la flexion ; l'absence de classes nominales et du genre grammatical ; des pronoms logophoriques ; les STAMP-morphs (des morphèmes qui expriment simultanément la personne et le nombre grammatical du sujet, le temps, l’aspect et la polarité d’une proposition); les constructions multi-verbes ; des stratégies de réduplication verbale; la négation de la proposition finale ; et les interrogatives de contenu bipartite. Les Kam et leur langue font partie du paysage linguistique et culturel diversifié du nord-est et du centre-est du Nigéria. A ce jour, on classifie le Kam comme une langue isolée dans la sous-famille Adamawa du Niger-Congo. Cependant, comme l'unité généalogique des langues Adamawa n'est plus largement acceptée aujourd’hui, la classification du Kam et des autres langues devrait être révisée. Bien que cette thèse ne traite pas la classification de Kam, elle fournit les données grammaticales et lexicales indispensables pour toute comparaison entre le Kam et d'autres langues et familles de langues
This thesis is the first extensive description of Kam (àŋwɔ̀m), a Niger-Congo language spoken in Taraba State, central eastern Nigeria, by an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 people. It offers a typologically and areally informed analysis of the grammar and lexicon of Kam, thereby advancing our understanding of the grammatical structure of Niger-Congo languages. This description is based on novel linguistic data collected in the Kam community between 2016 and 2018. There are six parts: (1) introduction, (2) phonological analysis, (3) nominal morphosyntax, (4) verbal morphosyntax, (5) clausal morphosyntax and (6) a sample of text and a lexicon with approx. 1,300 entries. Features of Kam that may be particularly interesting for African and general linguistics include labial-velar stops kp and gb; a difference between prosodically strong and prosodically weak positions in prosodic stems; tonal morphology used for both derivation and inflection; the absence of noun classes or gender; logophoric pronominals; STAMP-morphs; multi-verb constructions; verbal reduplication strategies; clause-final negation and bipartite content interrogatives. The Kam community and their language are part of the linguistically and culturally diverse landscape of north-east and central-east Nigeria. Previous research classified Kam as an isolated language within the Adamawa sub-family of Niger-Congo, whose genealogical unity is no longer widely accepted. Therefore, the classification of Kam and other languages should be reviewed. While classification is not addressed in this thesis, it provides grammatical and lexical data indispensable for any comparison between Kam and other languages and lineages

This dissertation seeks to illustrate the evolution of humanism between modernism and postmodernism through discussion of Louis I. Kahn and the humanist qualities in his architecture. Through its prevalence of Marxist social movements and mechanization, modernism has complicated our reference points for studying the development of humanism. By heralding new technology and democracy, it has also introduced a type of purism in design, the chief purpose of which is to destroy bourgeois humanism and thus pave the way for humanism''s integration with society. The diligence of modernist architects to change the destiny of architecture has not, however, succeeded in resolving mankind''s perennial conflict between thought and emotion. 　　The humaism in Kahn''s work symbolizes a personal reflection on modern architecture. It has confronted modernists with their fundamental defeat and initiated change in the chaos brought by their mechanical and industrial values. To achieve this, Kahn applies the Beaux Arts tradition in his work, reconstructing a classical, static, and stable architectural order in which rationality serves as a conduit.But just as reflections on modemism have led Kahn back to the Beaux Arts tradition, they have also allowed him to transcend that tradition. In this sense, his form of humanism is a unique aesthetic concept that resolves the contradictions between modemism and Beaux Arts. adding new aspects to both schools in the process. Since the 1960s, however, philosophical critique of the concept of subjectivity has engendered a type of "post-humanism." This trend has shifted the course of architectural development by giving rise to deconstructuralist architecture. From a dialectical point of view, it is still too early to announce the death of traditional humanism at the hand of its radical counterpart, or to suggest that Kahn''s architectural concepts have lost currency under strong critique. What we are witnessing rather is a new architectural concept in the making, even as the inherent logical crises of that concept become more apparent. If these crises cannot be effectively overcome, designs to eradicate the concept of subject from architecture will likely remain nothing more than a protective amulet for achieving self-satisfaction in architectural creation. 　　One of the unmistakable traits of deconstructuralist architecture is its incongruity between architectural creation and philosophical discourse. This disparity compels us to reexamine the relation between philosophical interpretation and architecture in the postmodern world. It also demands further creative speculation on the position of subjectivity in architecture. The framework for such speculation must not only vertically cohere with historical change, but also horizontally consider the complex relation between humanity and environment as well as the social orders ungovernable by mankind. Only in this manner can we conceive a third subjective position beyond modernism and post-modernism.

Based on the modern phonology of Hai Kang dialect, this essay aims to explore into Hai Kang dialect of Guangdong Province from a phonetic perspective to generalize its synchronic phonology of components and limits. Taking the ancient Qiē yùn phonetic system as comparative model, the evolution of phonology for Hai Kang dialect from ancient to modern era will be further analyzed for an in-depth understanding of its rules of the historical evolution. By means of the detailed discussion on the phonology and tone of Hai Kang dialect, we can affirm that Hai Kang dialect is one of branches of southern-Min dialect. Meanwhile, we also uncover the characteristics of phonetic system of Hai Kang dialect that further helps us gain insight into the intimate relations of the dialect with southern-Min dialect as well as find an appropriate standing for Hai Kang dialect on the classification of southern-Min dialect. In view of the overall phonetic system, Hai Kang dialect is exactly closest to the linguistic features of southern-Min dialect. Notwithstanding, Hai Kang dialect features some unique linguistic phenomena such as the special pronunciation for its vowels, falling short of nasalized rhyme, and continuous tone sandhi of regular simple tone, along with the causes which distinguish the dialect from that of southern-Min dialect, all of which are centers of emphasis for further discussion in this essay. This essay consists of five chapters. The first chapter features Preface in which it gives account of the basic conception for the research of this essay, followed by a brief summation the geographical location and population of Hai Kang County. The second chapter focuses on the discussion on the synchronic phonology and syllabic structure of Hai Kang dialect. Taking the ancient qiē yùn phonetic system as comparative model, the third chapter delves into the vocal, rhyme, and tonic system to observe the historical evolution of phonetic system and separating and merging development for Hai Kang dialect as well as to attempt to seek rational explanation ad description for the exceptional part of evolutionary rules. Based on an exploration into the standing of Hai Kang dialect on southern-Min dialect, the fourth chapter works to explore into the intimate relations of Hai Kang dialect with southern-Min dialect, further trying to find an appropriate standing for Hai Kang dialect on the classification of southern-Min dialect. From a perspective of drawing a parallel with the linguistic aspect of other southern-Min sub-dialects, we think Hai Kang dialect is closer to southern-Min dialects spoken in Chaozhou and Shantou of Guangdong Province. Subsequently, we conduct a discussion on the linguistic difference between Hai Kang dialect and southern-Min dialect. Furthermore, we make a comparison of Hai Kang dialect with southern-Min dialect based on the discrepant phenomenon of yi mu zi, such as “b-“ and “z-“ nowadays, featured by Hai Kang dialect. We further surmise the existence of initial “*g-” in early Hai Kang dialect that results in the void phenomenon for present “*g-” as this phenomenon may be the result of conditional phonetic change caused by “i” or “u,” the final of syllable, that leads to the change for the velar stop initial “*g-” and disappearance of initial “*g-” for synchronic initial system of Hai Kang dialect nowadays. In Hai Kang dialect, it appears the phonetic change of “-k” → “-p” for “zhu, shu, rou” of the abrupt tones of Guang yun, i.e. tong shè hé kou san rhyme. Despite of a failure to find evolutionary conditions for the three tong shè abrupt tones, an observation of the link of such phenomenon with the linguistic change of velar stop sound “*g-” seems to hint some messages: the change for voiced stop sounds such as “b-,” “d-” and “g-” and endings of abrupt tones such as “-p,” “-t” and “-k” has followed a unanimous direction of evolution, i.e. “g” → “b” and “k” → “p.” In the fifth chapter, this essay gives a generalization of the discussion on rhythmic tone of corresponding sounds and summarizes the entire essay.

This thesis concerns the circular epistemology of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit and Science of Logic. I argue that these works can be read as epistemologies based on the dialectical structure of their progression. Furthermore, I claim that this dialectical structure is circular. I hold that the epistemology of these works is circular not only because it is anti-foundational, self-justifying, and presuppositionless, but also in these works one instance of knowledge depends on the next for its justification and so on, until the last instance of knowledge returns to the first. Hegel sharply attacks Reinhold in The Difference Between Fichte's and Schelling's System of Philosophy, but changes his mind in the Science of Logic to embrace elements of Reinhold's philosophy. I argue that, through this circular epistemological reading of the Phenomenology of Spirit and the Science of Logic, we can account for Hegel's changing view.

The aesthetic autonomy of dance is a blank spot in the history of aesthetics. In this study, dance is used as an umbrella for both visual art performance, live art and choreography. Different from these other notions, dance appears in early historical writings and enables a coherent reading of the history of this specific artform, where the embodiment of the artwork is central.        Starting from Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Judgement, in which this study unravels why dance has been given such a limited attention in the history of aesthetics. Departing from this ignorance of the artform and the lack of theories of aesthetic autonomy when it comes to dance ever since, the study proposes that the aesthetic autonomy of dance could be understood through the notion of parergon. The word is initially found in the Critique of Judgement, where Kant uses parergon to describe the infrastructural framework upon which both the piece of art and the judgment relies. With the help of Jacques Derrida’s reading of the Critique of Judgement through parergon, the notion is understood with a double meaning: as both the frame ot the artwork and the work behind the piece of art. Derrida doesn’t either mention ”dance” in his rewriting of Kant’s work, why this essay applies the parergon upon the only art form where the working body embodies the work of art: dance. For dance, the work behind the piece and the piece itself, is the same. Through this understanding of parergon, the aesthetic autonomy of dance is can be understood as the frame at work.       With references from a western history of arts and aesthetics, the study works through literature on dance from the 16th century until today. This enables a timeline from the inauguration of the first royal ballet academies, to the enlightenment, through modernity up until postmodernity, is read. Such a consistent reading of the history of dance is still rare, but the main reason for the study is not to sketch a new history, but rather to, through its history, establish an understanding of the aesthetic autonomy of dance.       Through examples from philosophy, literature, art history, dance history and art criticism, the development of dance as an autonomous artwork is contextualized. Arriving at the 20th and the 21st century, three specific artworks are analysed through available documentations, writings and conversations. Through the three notions hetero-affection, immanent critique and indexical dialectics, the aesthetic autonomy of dance is written through an understanding of its dialectical negation as its positive matter; the frame (at work). This understanding is applied to the three modern and post-modern examples of dance, where the frame at work is autonomously unworked and re-worked.

Le rapport qu’entretient Hegel à l’égard de la philosophie kantienne est ambivalent. Il la louange à maintes occasions alors qu’il la critique sévèrement à d’autres. La philosophie morale de Kant n’y fait pas exception. Hegel est réputé pour l’avoir critiquée avec véhémence. Cette critique, désormais célèbre, est connue sous le nom de critique du devoir-être ou Sollenkritik. Nous porterions préjudice à la richesse de la doctrine hégélienne si nous nous bornions à voir en cette critique un rejet catégorique de toutes les thèses avancées par Kant. Notre travail se donne une double mission. Dans un premier temps, nous montrerons quels sont les divers points litigieux entre la moralité kantienne et la doctrine hégélienne. Dans un second temps, nous nous efforcerons d’expliquer en quoi la moralité participe de la vérité que nous révèle Hegel.
The relation that Hegel maintains towards the Kantian philosophy is ambivalent. He praises it on several occasions while he criticizes it on others. The moral philosophy of Kant does not make an exception to it. Hegel is renowned for having criticized it vehemently. This criticism, now famous, is known under the name of Sollenkritik. We would harm the richness of the Hegelian doctrine if we were to limit ourselves to see this criticism as a rejection of the theories put forward by Kant. Our work will aim a double mission. As a first step, we will demonstrate what are the different litigious points between the Kantian morality and the Hegelian doctrine. As a second step, we will try to explain how morality is included in the truth that Hegel is revealing us.

This study is the product, chiefly, of fieldwork, undertaken in Sierra Leone, which sought to interview and experience contemporary Limba religio-cultural practices. Using a systematic approach, the goal was to provide a broader understanding of Limba religion, as well as to discover the effect of Limba religiosity, and the tenacity with which the Limba hold to their culture and religion, on the National Pentecostal Limba Church (NPLC) over the past three decades. The study begins with an introduction, which outlines its objectives and structure, the research methods, and its general outline. This is followed by a basic introduction to the socio-history of the Limba people, their origin, environment, language, politics, economy and other socio-cultural characteristics, in order to provide an understanding of the background on which their religion is formed. The heart of the study is a detailed examination of Limba religious beliefs and their intersection with Christianity. It includes a definition of Limba religion and its components. This seeks to identify the current state of Limba religion amidst the changes it has experienced and continues to experience as a result of internal and external influences, and to provide a template for this study, an analysis of the Limba belief in a supreme creator God whom they call Kanu Masala, his epithets, attributes and activities, Limba worship and worship methods, the Limba understanding of the spirit world, humankind, sin and salvation, and the roles of sacred specialists. The study concludes with an examination of the causes of the tenacious loyalty with which some Limba Christians hold to their traditional religious beliefs and practices, their reluctance to part with them, and the effects of their dual religiosity on the NPLC, as well as the church's response, and the resulting reciprocal effects over the past three decades in Sierra Leone. This study fills a gap in the extant literature about the ethno-theological landscape of Sierra Leone, and provides a detailed study on the intersection of African Traditional Religion and Christianity.
