Full Text Available O artigo trata da evolução das representações coletivas de “esquadrão da morte” no Rio de Janeiro e de suas práticas. Defende-se que, por detrás dos usos da categoria, há duas modalidades de acusação: uma que se forma entre 1957-1964 e outra que surge a partir de 1968. Nas duas primeiras partes descrevo o contexto de emergência do primeiro grupo assim definido e abordo o caso que fixou a definição e sua correspondente operação acusatória. Em seguida, analiso as mudanças na representação coletiva e sua nova forma de acusação. Por fim, exploro as implicações na tese de acumulação social da violência e apresento um quadro comparativo entre as duas modalidades.‘Death Squad’: Another Category of Social Accumulation of Violence in Rio de Janeiro is about the evolution of the collective representations of “Death Squad” in Rio de Janeiro and its practices. The argument is that behind the uses of the category there are two modalities of accusation: one that takes form between 1957-1964 and another that emerges by 1968. In the first two parts I describe the context of emergence of the first group so defined by the name of “Death Squad” in Rio and the case that established the definition and its corresponding accusatory operation. Then I analyze the changes in collective representation and their new forms of indictment. Finally, I explore the implications on the thesis of social accumulation of violence and present a comparative picture between the two modalities.Keywords: accusation, death squads, criminal subjection, social accumulation of violence, collective representations

The notion of Threshold: an investigation into conceptual accompaniment in Aristotle and Hegel

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Jason Carter

2010-04-01

Full Text Available What is unique to the idea of a threshold is that it is a threshold’s proper definition to generate or signal an inevitable accompanying image of a surrounding boundary or a further field of exploration, even though these accompanying terms or images seem like they should be excluded from its definition. Hegel described this phenomenon of the movement from a concept’s definition to its accompanying terms as the determination of a concept through ‘negation’, and viewed such a method as central to philosophical insight. However, what is not usually noted is that Hegel’s notion of negation is both crucially related to Aristotle’s thought on how definitions are formulated, as well as his postulations about opposites and their connection through a third substantial thing. Through a close examination of the problem of Aristotle’s categories, along with Aristotle’s description of the differentiae, movement, and the meaning of the copula, we can demonstrate that Aristotle’s thinking is at core structured by non-binary ‘threshold concepts’ which are essential to his philosophical system. Finally, we will show how Hegel attempted to take these essentially structural threshold concepts in Aristotle and turn their function into a methodology for both thought itself as well as the philosophical determination of the categories of being.Ce qui est particulier à l’idée de seuil c’est que c’est sa propre définition de générer un contour conceptuel qui va vers un autre champ d’exploration, même si ces images de contour semblent devoir être exclues de sa définition. Hegel a décrit ce phénomène du mouvement de la définition d’un concept vers les termes qui l’accompagnent comme la détermination d’un concept à partir de sa « négation » et a considéré cette méthode comme fondamentale à toute approche philosophique. Ce texte explore le fait que la notion hégélienne de la négation remonte aux idées d�

Full Text Available Aristotle's Rhetoric is a descriptive text to a greater extent than normally recognised and so our understanding of Aristotle can be improved with the analysis of speeches previous to him; as a case study, the third speech of Lysias has been chosen. The argumentation of judicial speeches previous to Aristotle was built with enthymemes whose first premises are based on emotions and characters explaining human behaviour; therefore the first purpose of Rhetoric 11.2-11 (about emotions and 11.2-17 (about characters was to supply the orators with first premises. In those speeches the emotions of the audience were stirred up by enthymemes; therefore Aristotle accepted that the orator could use emotions in this rational and logic way. Nevertheless he condemned the arousing of emotions by direct and irrational requests, a procedure found in the judicial speeches. This way the apparent contradictory treatment of emotions in Aristotle's Rhetoric can be solved.

Although cardiac troponin is associated with outcomes in atrial fibrillation (AF), the complementary prognostic information provided by cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and cTnT is unknown. This study investigated the distribution, determinants, and prognostic value of cTnI and cTnT concentrations in patients with AF. Samples were collected. At the time of randomization, we analyzed cTnI and cTnT concentrations of 14806 AF patients in the Apixaban for Reduction in Stroke and Other Thromboembolic Events in Atrial Fibrillation (ARISTOTLE) trial using high-sensitivity assays. Correlations (Spearman), determinants (multivariable linear regression), and outcomes (adjusted Cox models and c-statistics) were investigated. Concentrations of cTnI and cTnT were correlated (r = 0.70) and measurable in most participants [cTnI 98.5% (median 5.4 ng/L, ≥99th percentile in 9.2%) and cTnT 93.5% (median 10.9 ng/L, ≥99th percentile in 34.4%)]. Renal impairment was the most important factor affecting the concentrations of both troponins. cTnI increase was more associated with heart failure, vascular disease, and persistent/permanent AF, and cTnT with age, male sex, and diabetes. Over a median 1.9 years of follow-up, patients with both troponins above the median had significantly higher risk for stroke/systemic embolism [hazard ratio (HR) 1.72 (95% CI 1.31-2.27)], cardiac death [3.14 (2.35-4.20)], and myocardial infarction [2.99 (1.78-5.03)] than those with both troponins below median (all P Chemistry.

Full Text Available Qualquer que seja o ponto de partida dessa experiência que se denomina pensar, seu desenvolvimento e efetividade tomam a forma de uma manifestação. Como não há manifestação sem espectador, o pensamento depende, pois, do outro a quem ele se endereça: nem que, precária e temporariamente, eu seja para mim mesmo a figura desse outro. Assim, se os humanos são 'feitos de mundo', o pensamento humano é feito das palavras que, engendradas nesse e por esse mundo, fornecem, por sua vez, ao mundo os sentidos que o fazem ser para nós. Assim, talvez uma das primeiras tarefas da reflexão filosófica da educação seja a de contribuir para o questionamento dos sentidos e das torções de sentido a que os modismos, ou a simples rotina, submetem as palavras: neste artigo, entre tantas ocorrências que se poderia invocar, interessou examinar a noção de 'categoria', cuja trajetória parece especialmente ilustrativa dos riscos a que o uso dogmático pode submeter a reflexão.No matter what the starting point for this experience called thought, the development and existence of thought take on the shape of an event. Just as there cannot be an event without spectators, a thought depends on the person to whom it is addressed; even if precariously and temporarily, I become, for myself, the figure of this other person. Thus, if human beings are 'made of the world,' human thought is made of words which, created in and by this world, lead, in turn, to the world of meanings and what they signify to us. As such, perhaps one of the first tasks of philosophical reflection on education is to contribute to questioning the meanings and distorsions of meaning that trends, or simple routine, impose on words. In this article, among the many occurrences that could be mentioned, the goal was to examine the notion of 'category,' the path of which seems to be especially illustrative of the risks that dogmatic use can impose on reflection.

Competition, Values and the Rhythm of Life: Some Reflections on Antiphon, Thucydides and Aristotle

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Valentin Kalan

2005-07-01

Full Text Available The Olympic Games had more than a gymnastic significance in ancient Greece, as is best attested by Pindar’s odes. The modern interpretation of Greek culture was first introduced to the notion of the ajgwvn and the concept of the agonistic or competitive, “das Agonale”, by J. Burckhardt. Nietzsche elaborated it further, perceiving the phenomenon of competition as the origin of the fundamental Greek values, especially of justice and truth, and as the prerequisite for any fair evaluation. In Antiphon, the idea of competition runs both through his forensic speeches and philosophical writings. His Tetralogies in particular reveal the competitive dynamics of judicial trials. A judicial procedure is a competition, ajgwnivzesqai, between the truth of facts and the truth of words, which may result in an unjust verdict. In that case injustice has prevailed over justice and truth. What is thus at stake is the truth of facts, ajlhv/qeia tw`n pragmavtwn. Antiphon uses the Olympic and Pythian competitions to elucidate the important decisions and activities in human life, such as education, marriage, and the pursuit of happiness in general. Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War provides not only a description of the historical facts but also their evaluation. The development of military events, which is a competition of actions, ajgw;n e[rgwn, is elucidated by speeches, which frequently occur in antithetic pairs as antilogies, ajgw;n lovgwn. Political competition, however, is not limited to foreign policy but can be seen in the Athenian home politics as well. According to Alcibiades, the Athenian polis could only retain its supremacy through incessant competition, ajgwnizomevnhn aijei;. Nor does Thucydides neglect the Panhellenic significance of the Olympic festival. Aristotle's philosophy, on the other hand, appears to distance itself from competition, being based on rJa/stwvnh, "easiness", and diagwgh, “pastime”. None the less, the

Eleito pela mídia hegemônica como termo síntese das ações violentas dos manifestantes, o signo “vândalos” permitiu a construção, via indústria cultural, de uma série de representações sociais sobre as manifestações, os manifestantes e seus atos. A mesma categoria vai ser utilizada, em estratégias diversas, por aqueles que se colocaram, discursivamente, contra as representações produzidas pela grande mídia, através de deslocamentos e reapropriações. Neste trabalho, buscamos não só mapear esses embates, mas indicar o caráter ambivalente das representações, como produto e processo da relação entre os sujeitos e a realidade social.Palavras-chave: Representações sociais – Vândalos – Disputas discursivas. Abstract: In this article, we intend to discuss how, within social protests that occurred in Brazil on 2013, especially in Rio de Janeiro, a semantic category has occupied a key role: the so-called "vandals". Singularized by the hegemonic media as the term that best signified the violent actions of some participants of the riots, the sign "vandals" has made possible the construction, via culture industry, of a series of social representations about the social protests, the participants and its acts. The same category is used, in different strategies, by those who have discursively manifested a discordance against the hegemonic media representations of the social protests through displacement and reappropriation. In this article, we will try to map such debates and also to single out the ambivalent character of the social representation, both as product and process of the relationship between subjects and social reality.Keywords: Social representations – Vandals – Discursive disputes.

A categoria da práxis em Pedagogia do Oprimido: sentidos e implicações para a educação libertadora

Sandra Maria Gadelha de Carvalho

Full Text Available Resumo: Os ensaios freireanos encontrados em Pedagogia do Oprimido se concretizam na relação teórico-prática e inovam-se associando o conceito de práxis à educação, a qual está a serviço da libertação, fundada na criatividade, no diálogo, na reflexão, na conscientização e em ações dos homens sobre a realidade visando a sua transformação. Na perspectiva de contribuir para a reflexão sobre o vínculo entre práxis e educação, o presente estudo, teórico-bibliográfico, tem como principal propósito identificar e analisar os sentidos da categoria práxis na obra Pedagogia do Oprimido. Debruçando nosso olhar investigativo sobre a obra em questão e dialogando com os escritos de Sánchez Vázquez (1977, Marx (2007, Konder (1992, entre outros, observamos a preponderância, nos sentidos de práxis propiciados por Freire, do caráter político, possibilitador do processo de conscientização dos homens e orientador de suas ações sobre o mundo real com vistas à sua transformação. A práxis em Freire remete à ideia de um conjunto de práticas visando à transformação da realidade e à produção da história. O que nos leva a crer que é sobre o tripé formado pela transformação de uma realidade injusta, pela transformação baseada na crítica dessa realidade e pelo seu conhecimento que Freire, a exemplo de Sánchez Vázquez (1977, elabora uma noção de práxis histórica e social.

We assessed outcomes among anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation and a history of falling, and whether the benefits of apixaban vs warfarin are consistent in this population. Of the 18,201 patients in the Apixaban for Reduction in Stroke and Other Thromboembolic Events in Atrial Fibrillation (ARISTOTLE) study, 16,491 had information about history of falling-753 with history of falling and 15,738 without history of falling. The primary efficacy outcome was stroke or systemic embolism; the primary safety outcome was major bleeding. When compared with patients without a history of falling, patients with a history of falling were older, more likely to be female and to have dementia, cerebrovascular disease, depression, diabetes, heart failure, osteoporosis, fractures, and higher CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥75 years, Diabetes mellitus, prior Stroke or TIA or thromboembolism, Vascular disease, Age 65-74 years, Sex category female) and HAS-BLED (Hypertension, Abnormal renal and liver function, Stroke, Bleeding, Labile international normalized ratio, Elderly, Drugs or alcohol) scores. Patients with a history of falling had higher rates of major bleeding (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.39; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-1.84; P = .020), including intracranial bleeding (adjusted HR 1.87; 95% CI, 1.02-3.43; P = .044) and death (adjusted HR 1.70; 95% CI, 1.36-2.14; P < .0001), but similar rates of stroke or systemic embolism and hemorrhagic stroke. There was no evidence of a differential effect of apixaban compared with warfarin on any outcome, regardless of history of falling. Among those with a history of falling, subdural bleeding occurred in 5 of 367 patients treated with warfarin and 0 of 386 treated with apixaban. Patients with atrial fibrillation and a history of falling receiving anticoagulation have a higher risk of major bleeding, including intracranial, and death.

Full Text Available In Aristotle's presentation Gorgias seems to be only a rhetor unable to express any philosophically interesting view. The reason for that is that, in Aristotle's opinion, a clear and precise way of speaking is a necessary feature of every philosopher, and Gorgias prefers a complex and obscure style of speech. From the point of view of the evolution of rhetoric, Aristotle believes that Gorgias makes a drawback, because he makes appeal to the emotions and passions and not to logos.

A GEC tem se desenvolvido e expandido, sem que se tenha obtido um consenso sobre as práticas a ela referidas. O presente estudo teve por objetivo propor um conjunto de categorias sobre o GEC. Para tal, realizou-se pesquisa bibliográfica para mapear termos relacionados ao GEC e, com isso, elaborar um conjunto de categorias e subcategorias. Percebe-se não haver concordância entre os diferentes autores sobre as práticas que podem ser consideradas no escopo dessa área. As categorias iniciais foram definidas com base nos temas-chave propostos por Shank e Govindarajan (1997: Análise dos direcionadores de custos, da cadeia de valor e do posicionamento estratégico. Para validá-las utilizou-se a técnica de Rodada Delphi, momento em que 17 categorias e 124 subcategorias foram submetidas ao exame por três especialistas da área, reconhecidos por sua experiência em pesquisa, formação acadêmica e atuação destacada em fóruns relacionados a esta abordagem. Por meio de três rodadas obteve-se consenso e validaram-se 16 categorias e 84 subcategorias.

Full Text Available Thanks to Aristotle Detective, set in fourth century Athens, Margaret Doody realizes her assumption about the Hellenistic beginnings of the Novel. Two heroes, the historical Aristotle and Stefanos, a fictional former pupil of the Lyceum, act as forerunners of the couple Sherlock Holmes/Watson in the year 332 B.C. The juridical framework of the plot fits ancient sources about Greek institutions. Clues to the resolution of the murder puzzle are chosen from archaeological evidence. Vases and inscriptions, deceiving story characters and modern readers, help Aristotle to come out of the maze.

This paper begins by examining the ethical issues in public health and attempts to resolve them. It then considers three different paradigms responding to heroin addiction and their underlying moral philosophy. Firstly it examines prohibition and abstinence only treatment as an example of deontological ethics and harm reduction approaches as an example of a utilitarian ethics. Policy and practice problems resulting from weaknesses in the underlying philosophies are examined along with the futile debate between abstinence only and harm reduction approaches. A third paradigm, 'recovery' is examined as an example of Aristotelian virtue ethics. The paper concludes by considering the wider implications of this case study in terms of the need for further bioethical enquiry in public health and proposes virtue ethics as a paradigm within which ethical issues can be identified and debated.

Science.gov (United States)

Adams, Zoe M; Fins, Joseph J

2017-01-01

The persistent vegetative state (PVS) is one of the most iconic and misunderstood phrases in clinical neuroscience. Coined as a diagnostic category by Scottish neurosurgeon Bryan Jennett and American neurologist Fred Plum in 1972, the phrase "vegetative" first appeared in Aristotle's treatise On the Soul (circa mid-fourth century BCE). Aristotle influenced neuroscientists of the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, Xavier Bichat and Walter Timme, and informed their conceptions of the vegetative nervous system. Plum credits Bichat and Timme in his use of the phrase, thus putting the ancient and modern in dialogue. In addition to exploring Aristotle's definition of the "vegetative" in the original Greek, we put Aristotle in conversation with his contemporaries-Plato and the Hippocratics-to better apprehend theories of mind and consciousness in antiquity. Utilizing the discipline of reception studies in classics scholarship, we demonstrate the importance of etymology and historical origin when considering modern medical nosology.

Without Qualification: An Inquiry Into the Secundum Quid

2014-03-01

Full Text Available In this paper I will consider several interpretations of the fallacy of secundum quid as it is given by Aristotle in the Sophistical Refutations and argue that they do not work, one reason for which is that they all imply that the fallacy depends on language and thus fail to explain why Aristotle lists this fallacy among the fallacies not depending on language (extra dictione, amounting often to a claim that Aristotle miscategorises this fallacy. I will argue for a reading that preserves Aristotle’s categorization by a quite different account of how qualifications function.

Full Text Available O artigo examina o conceito de patrimônio presente nas atuais políticas públicas de preservação do patrimônio histórico, artístico e cultural, visando ampliar a apreensão deste. Trazendo exemplos do trabalho de campo realizado na Travessa dos Venezianos, em Porto Alegre, o meu propósito neste artigo é analisar como a atribuição de valor a determinados bens, objetos e processos produz novos significados nos diferentes contextos onde ocorre, focando especialmente na construção de significados do ponto de vista da herança, da sacralidade do patrimônio e da dimensão de poder envolvida no processo. Considerando as ressignificações resultantes do reconhecimento patrimonial, analiso as diferentes categorias percebidas pelos habitantes citadinos que estão envolvidos com o patrimônio, não de forma passiva, mas detendo a capacidade de construir novos significados e dar sentido ao mundo ao seu redor. Procuro sublinhar a dimensão simbólica que está presente nesse processo em que a propriedade adquire sentido e passa a ser considera como patrimônio ou herança familiar.This article deals with the concept of heritage present in the public policies of cultural, artistic and historical heritage preservation, aiming to widen the apprehension of the concept. Bringing examples from my fieldwork in Venezianos Lane, in Porto Alegre, my purpose in this article is to analise the attribution of values to specific buildings, objects or processes as a way to produce new meanings within the different contexts in which it occurs, observing specially the construction of signification from the point of view of familiar heritage, heritage objects seen as sacred properties and the dimension of power involved in such process. Considering the ressignifications which resulted from the heritage acknoledgement, I analise the different categories perceived by the city inhabitants who are involved with the heritage, not in a passive way, but owning the

Inicialmente, discutimos os fundamentos das categorias causalidade e contingência a partir da obra de dois filósofos, Aristóteles e Pascal. Em segundo lugar, recuperando algumas reflexões anteriores sobre as bases lógicas do conceito de risco, discutimos criticamente sua adequação e eficácia explicativa frente ao objeto saúde-doença. Em terceiro lugar, apresentamos brevemente categorias e conceitos fundantes do paradigma da complexidade, capazes de dar conta dos fenômenos da emergência, não-linearidade e borrosidade relacionados aos novos objetos complexos e mutantes da saúde. Concluímos com alguns comentários e reflexões ainda preliminares sobre fundamentos, perspectivas e conseqüências da aplicação da modalidade "contingência" como alternativa à noção de determinação no campo da saúde, a fim de visualizar o futuro do conceito de risco para além da área temática (científica e tecnológica da Epidemiologia contemporânea.We contend the thesis that, in the current phase of maturity of the epidemiological field, a reevaluation of the risk concept is timely needed. Initially, we discuss the foundations of categories of causality and contingency in the work of two philosophers, Aristotle and Pascal. Secondly, recovering previous reflections on logical bases of the concept of risk, we critically discuss its explanatory adequacy and efficacy for the health-disease object. Thirdly, we briefly present ground categories and concepts of the complexity paradigm, capable of tackling phenomena of emergency, non-linearity and fuzziness related to new, mutant, complex health objects. We conclude with a few remarks and thoughts yet preliminary on foundations, perspectives and consequences of applying the modality of "contingency" as alternative to notions of determination in the health field, in

Cancer is associated with a prothrombotic state and increases the risk of thrombotic events in patients with atrial fibrillation. We described the clinical characteristics and outcomes and assessed the safety and efficacy of apixaban versus warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation and cancer in the Apixaban for Reduction in Stroke and Other Thromboembolic Events in Atrial Fibrillation (ARISTOTLE) trial. The association between cancer and clinical outcomes was assessed using Cox regression models. At baseline, 1236 patients (6.8%) had a history of cancer; 12.7% had active cancer, and 87.3% had remote cancer. There were no significant associations between history of cancer and stroke/systemic embolism, major bleeding, or death. The effect of apixaban versus warfarin for the prevention of stroke/systemic embolism was consistent among patients with a history of cancer (event/100 patient-years = 1.4 vs 1.2; hazard ratio [HR], 1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.53-2.26) and no cancer (1.3 vs 1.6; HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.64-0.93) (P interaction = .37). The safety and efficacy of apixaban versus warfarin were preserved among patients with and without active cancer. Apixaban was associated with a greater benefit for the composite of stroke/systemic embolism, myocardial infarction, and death in active cancer (HR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.11-0.83) versus without cancer (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.78-0.95), but not in remote cancer (HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.01-2.10) (interaction P = .0028). Cancer was not associated with a higher risk of stroke. The superior efficacy and safety of apixaban versus warfarin were consistent in patients with and without cancer. Our positive findings regarding apixaban use in patients with atrial fibrillation and cancer are exploratory and promising, but warrant further evaluation. Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

Thomas Aquinas on the Soul: Old problems, New Solutions. Guiding Premises for a Thomistic Synthesis

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Yevgeniy Shilov

2012-12-01

Full Text Available This article examines two main approaches to the doctrine of the soul: that of Plato and that of Aristotle. Each of these approaches had its own development and its own interpretations. Plato and his school was more important during the Middle Ages. Through the neo-platonic philosophers it reached Saint Augustine and became a part of the western cultural and religious heritage until finally it was taken up by member of the Franciscan order - Roger Bacon and Bonaventure. But this paradigm could not solve a host of problems connected with the soul and many of them remained unresolved. The end of the twelfth century brought the growth of the universities and the teaching of Aristotle - a new paradigm - transmitted by the Arabic philosophers which was rediscovered by the West. Two commentators on Aristotle - Averroes and Avicenna -were the most important for the West, especially since Avicenna exerted a great influence on Albert the Great. But both Plato and Aristotle, when taken separately, proved to be quite useless in resolving certain problems. But Thomas Aquinas was able to splice the Gordian knot concealing a solution to the problem of the soul. By combining the psychology of Plato with the metaphysics of Aristotle, Thomas succeeded in creating a new concept of the human person. The author of this article has tried to explain the difficulties which faced Thomas and the way in which Thomas was able to resolve a problem which had troubled philosophy through the ages - the problem of reconciling Plato with Aristotle and finding a way to make their conflicting philosophies agree with each other

ABSTRACT: This paper deals with the complex relationship between Catholic Church entities and secular law, which has always had great relevance and impact on the canonical discipline of such institutions. After some preliminary remarks about the juridical status of Church institutions in canon law across the centuries, from the ius vetus to the 1917 Codex and the current Code of Canon Law (1983, the paper compares their current regulation in secular law within the most important legal traditions in the West, emphasizing pros and cons of each legal system. In the second part, it focuses on the impact of some recent trends that emerge from the evolution of both secular and canonical legal systems and concern the regulation of Church institutions and of Church-related institutions. It then draws some conclusive remarks on the need to update their inner structure and administrative rules.

Full Text Available In this article we present a conceptual controversy concerning the metaphysics of Aristotle. Pierre Aubenque defends an aporetical interpretation that refuses the presence of the doctrine of the nalogy in the Aristotelic texts. According to Aubenque, Aristotle is trying to unify the physics and the metaphysics, but fails in his attempt, causing le problème de l’être. The swiss professor André de Muralt organizes the Aristotelic metaphysics around the analogy of being, conceived as a methodological procedure. According to Muralt, Aristotle is the maker of the invention du discours metaphysique, a systematic structure that provides the themes, concepts and great lines of the western thought.

Full Text Available Este artigo é resultado de estudos teóricos e pretende apresentar algumas contribuições ao estudo da psicologia histórico-cultural do desenvolvimento, mais especificamente no que se refere à relação existente entre as categorias de trabalho e atividade. Estudos desta natureza são importantes para psicólogos, pedagogos e demais profissionais envolvidos direta ou indiretamente com a prática educativa, na busca por compreender o problema da periodização do desenvolvimento em uma perspectiva não naturalizante. Nesta direção, a categoria de atividade principal mostra-se central como força motriz do processo de desenvolvimento humano, portanto encontra-se estreitamente ligada ao lugar que cada indivíduo ocupa na sociedade de classes bem como às condições objetivas de sua existência material. O estudo do desenvolvimento coincide com o estudo da pessoa concreta, imersa numa trama de relações sociais e num sistema político e econômico; enfim, outra coisa não é senão o estudo da história objetivada em cada indivíduo particular.This article is the result of theoretical studies and intends to show some contributions to the Development Historical-Cultural Psychology, more specifically, regarding to the relationship between the work and activity categories. These studies show to be relevant to the psychologists, pedagogues and other professionals involved directly or indirectly with the educational practice, in the quest to understand the problem of development periodization in a non-naturalistic perspective. In this way, the main activity category shows up as a central driving force of human development process and, therefore, it is closely linked to the place which each individual takes up in the class society as well as the objective conditions of his material existence. The development study matches with the study of specific person, immersed in a web of social relations; in a political and economic system; and finally

This paper reports that before the era of FERC Order 436.500 and the onset of pipeline competition, making pipelines was a lot like making statues; all the causes and influences could be clearly and easily identified. New markets were well defined, the pipelines already serving the area built the new facilities, and the project didn't usually change too much from application through certification to construction. But the new era of pipeline rivalry has drastically altered the manner in which major new projects are pursued. The scramble for the scarce opportunities for rate base additions has caused some of the most profound changes: pipelines no longer need to feel confined to their traditional market areas---they can't afford to miss the opportunities

Aristotle and Double Effect

There are some interesting similarities between Aristotle’s ‘mixed actions’ in Book III of the Nicomachean Ethics and the actions often thought to be justifiable with the Doctrine of Double Effect. Here I analyse these similarities by comparing Aristotle’s examples of mixed actions with standard...... cases from the literature on double effect such as, amongst others, strategic bombing, the trolley problem, and craniotomy.

Historical antecedents to the philosophy of Paul Feyerabend.

2016-06-01

Paul Feyerabend has been considered a very radical philosopher of science for proposing that we may advance hypotheses contrary to well-confirmed experimental results, that observations make theoretical assumptions, that all methodological rules have exceptions, that ordinary citizens may challenge the judgment of experts, and that human happiness should be a key value for science. As radical as these theses may sound, they all have historical antecedents. In defending the Copernican view, Galileo exemplified the first two; Mill, Aristotle and Machiavelli all argued for pluralism; Aristotle gave commonsense reasons for why ordinary citizens may be able to judge the work of experts; and a combination of Plato's and Aristotle's views can offer strong support for the connection between science and happiness.

Full Text Available Este trabalho expõe uma interpretação das categoriais sociais representativas no Brasil na década de 1970, retratadas em cinco canções de Chico Buarque de Hollanda na peça Ópera do malandro. Procuramos demonstrar, a partir dos exemplos musicais propostos, que Hollanda fez da relação tensa entre censura e produção artística a base de sua matéria poética, imprimindo um sentido político-social original em sua obra musical, indo além dos limites da canção de protesto tradicional. Essa opção do autor teve como base a proposta teórico-prática do dramaturgo e teórico alemão Bertolt Brecht, que, em seus escritos sobre ópera, defende uma maior independência da música com relação à ação dramática.

ROLE OF ANCIENT HERITAGE IN FORMING CHRISTIAN WORLD PICTURE

Full Text Available The article compares the views of Plato and Aristotle in terms of their relation to the problem of rationality. In fact, Plato and Aristotle have absolutely opposite positions on the question of the essence of philosophy, its subject, its methods; they call for a completely incompatible with each other interpretations of the basis of the life. For Plato, true being is spiritual, transcendental that does not fit into any rational-logical framework. For Aristotle true being is subject-sensual, quite rationally knowable within the boundaries of logical thinking. For Plato, the subject-sensual - is illusory "shadow" of the spirit; for Aristotle absolute spirit is a theoretical assumption, assumption forced, as a kind of methodological assumption to justify the reality of the subject-sensual, "flesh" world. Aristotle most clearly formulated the idea of the rational-logical totality, as a whole it is quite popular for the ancient metaphysics, with which the natural philosophers, and Eleatics, and sophists were largely agreed. Plato, "Opened" transcendence, outlined ways to super-rational, and in many respects to the irrational and mystical understanding of the philosophical problems. And in this sense, as well as Orphics and the Pythagoreans, he left some opposition to the rational-logical tradition of ancient Greece. Plato argued that the truth - it is itself a spiritual reality, which is originally opened to man: it is beyond controversy, representing the true being. From this he concluded that the forms of life and forms of logical thinking differ from each other. For Aristotle, on the contrary, the truth is the correspondence of the forms of thinking to the forms of being; it is not a reality, but it is a reflection of the reality in the structures of human consciousness. And we need to dad that just such interpretation of truth firmly established in Western philosophy and science.These two tendencies, aimed at forming rational and irrational

Heisenberg offered an interpretation of the quantum state which made use of a quantitative version of an earlier notion, , of Aristotle by both referring to it using its Latin name, potentia, and identifying its qualitative aspect with . The relationship between this use and Aristotle's notion was not made by Heisenberg in full detail, beyond noting their common character: that of signifying the system's objective capacity to be found later to possess a property in actuality. For such actualization, Heisenberg required measurement to have taken place, an interaction with external systems that disrupts the otherwise independent, natural evolution of the quantum system. The notion of state actualization was later taken up by others, including Shimony, in the search for a law-like measurement process. Yet, the relation of quantum potentiality to Aristotle's original notion has been viewed as mainly terminological, even by those who used it thus. Here, I reconsider the relation of Heisenberg's notion to Aristotle's and show that it can be explicated in greater specificity than Heisenberg did. This is accomplished through the careful consideration of the role of potentia in physical causation and explanation, and done in order to provide a fuller understanding of this aspect of Heisenberg's approach to quantum mechanics. Most importantly, it is pointed out that Heisenberg's requirement of an external intervention during measurement that disrupts the otherwise independent, natural evolution of the quantum system is in accord with Aristotle's characterization of spontaneous causation. Thus, the need for a teleological understanding of the actualization of potentia, an often assumed requirement that has left this fundamental notion neglected, is seen to be spurious.

ARISTÓTELES CONTRA PARMÉNIDES: EL PROBLEMA DEL CAMBIO Y LA POSIBILIDAD DE UNA CIENCIA FÍSICA

Marcelo D. Boeri

2013-11-01

Full Text Available This essay aims at presenting a reading of Aristotle’s criticisms of Parmenides at Physics. The author suggests that some important issues that Aristotle takes into account when determining the basic principles of the science of nature arise from those criticisms. Boeri argues that, in spite of the strong disagreement declared by Aristotle at Physics I 2-3 with regard to the Eleatic positions in general and to Parmenides’ position in particular, Aristotle takes advantage of his discussion with Parmenides in a constructive manner in favor of his own theory of change and, in general terms, of the indispensable conditions for the constitution of a science of nature. According to the author, one of the central points of Aristotle’s disagreement with Parmenides (the theory of being is at once one of the most fertile issues from the standpoint of Aristotle’s use of such disagreement in order to establish the foundations of his physics.

Professional virtue and professional self-awareness: a case study in engineering ethics.

Science.gov (United States)

Stovall, Preston

2011-03-01

This paper articulates an Aristotelian theory of professional virtue and provides an application of that theory to the subject of engineering ethics. The leading idea is that Aristotle's analysis of the definitive function of human beings, and of the virtues humans require to fulfill that function, can serve as a model for an analysis of the definitive function or social role of a profession and thus of the virtues professionals must exhibit to fulfill that role. Special attention is given to a virtue of professional self-awareness, an analogue to Aristotle's phronesis or practical wisdom. In the course of laying out my account I argue that the virtuous professional is the successful professional, just as the virtuous life is the happy life for Aristotle. I close by suggesting that a virtue ethics approach toward professional ethics can enrich the pedagogy of professional ethics courses and help foster a sense of pride and responsibility in young professionals.

This study sought to characterize major bleeding on the basis of the components of the major bleeding definition, to explore major bleeding by location, to define 30-day mortality after a major bleeding event, and to identify factors associated with major bleeding. Apixaban was shown to reduce the risk of major hemorrhage among patients with atrial fibrillation in the ARISTOTLE (Apixaban for Reduction in Stroke and Other Thromboembolic Events in Atrial Fibrillation) trial. All patients who received at least 1 dose of a study drug were included. Major bleeding was defined according to the criteria of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis. Factors associated with major hemorrhage were identified using a multivariable Cox model. The on-treatment safety population included 18,140 patients. The rate of major hemorrhage among patients in the apixaban group was 2.13% per year compared with 3.09% per year in the warfarin group (hazard ratio [HR] 0.69, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.60 to 0.80; p < 0.001). Compared with warfarin, major extracranial hemorrhage associated with apixaban led to reduced hospitalization, medical or surgical intervention, transfusion, or change in antithrombotic therapy. Major hemorrhage followed by mortality within 30 days occurred half as often in apixaban-treated patients than in those receiving warfarin (HR 0.50, 95% CI: 0.33 to 0.74; p < 0.001). Older age, prior hemorrhage, prior stroke or transient ischemic attack, diabetes, lower creatinine clearance, decreased hematocrit, aspirin therapy, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were independently associated with an increased risk. Apixaban, compared with warfarin, was associated with fewer intracranial hemorrhages, less adverse consequences following extracranial hemorrhage, and a 50% reduction in fatal consequences at 30 days in cases of major hemorrhage.

Saving the Phenomena in Medieval Astronomy

Science.gov (United States)

Seeskin, K.

2011-06-01

Aristotle's theory of motion is based on two principles: (1) all motion to either from the midpoint of the Earth, toward it, or around it, and (2) circular motion must proceed around an immovable point. On this view, the heavenly bodies are individual points of light carried around by a series of concentric spheres rotating at a constant pace around the midpoint of the Earth. But even in Aristotle's day, it was known that this theory had a great deal of difficulty accounting for planetary motion. Ptolemy's alternative was to introduce epicycles and eccentric orbits, thus denying Aristotle's view of natural motion. There was no doubt that Ptolemy's predictions were far better than Aristotle's. But for the medievals, Aristotle's theory made better intuitive sense. Moreover, Ptolemy's theory raised the question of how one sphere could pass through another. What to do? The solution of Moses Maimonides (1138-1204) was to say that it is not the job of the astronomer to tell us how things actually are but merely to propose a series of hypotheses that allow us to explain the relevant data. This view had obvious theological implications. If astronomy could explain planetary motion in an acceptable way, there was reason to believe that the order or structure of the heavens is what it is by necessity. This suggests that God did not exercise any degree of choice in making it that way. But if astronomy cannot explain planetary motion, the most reasonable explanation is that we are dealing with contingent phenomena rather than necessary ones. If there is contingency, there is reason to think God did exercise a degree of choice in making the heavens the way they are. A God who exercises choice is much closer to the God of Scripture. Although Galileo changed all of this, and paved the way for a vastly different view of astronomy, the answer to one set of questions raises a whole different set. In short, the heavenly motion still poses ultimate questions about God, existence, and

Full Text Available In the following, we would like to present and describe a very interesting map, engraved in the XVIIth or at the end of the XVIth century by a famous Dutch cartographer, engraver, and publisher: Pieter van der Keere (Petrus Kaerius. Born in Ghent in 1571, Van der Keere (1571-1646 developed his business in Amsterdam at the end of the XVIth century. The map described in our article is entitled Vetus Descriptio Daciarum nec non Moesiarum. The document is important for the history of cartography because it enable us to identify and comment upon the level of knowledge of Van der Keere about a region not so familiar to him. In fact, the map reflects a medieval version of the map of Ptolemy. This period is connected to the rediscovery of Ptolemy. Besides data from the famous work of the geographer born in Alexandria, Van der Keere included some interesting notations and details which reflect the middle Ages conceptions or geographical features invented in this period.

Considering the distinction between tópos koinós and tópos ídios made by Aristotle in the Art of rhetoric, as well as the existence of a series of tópoi koinoí that the poets dealt with in the composition of their poems, in this essay we examine what are and what could be, in Poetics, the correspondent tópoi ídioi, and why they seem not to have been studied further. Two major texts are mentioned, Aristotle's and Horace's Poetics, and an outstanding modern essay, once more Francis Cairn's Gene...

"Es ist meine Art, einen und denselben Gegenstand zu verfolgen, bis ich ihn aufgeklärt habe" Äußerungen Alexander von Humboldts über sich selbst

Full Text Available Article in German, Abstracts in English and Spanish. Alexander von Humboldt has been characterized as the second, scientific discoverer of the New World, as the last universal scientist, Aristotle of modern times, etc. However, more or less hidden in his correspondence we find certain self-characterizations which are not that well-known. Some of them are quoted and discussed in the paper. Thus, an attempt is made to answer the question why Humboldt liked to call himself "the old man from the mountains", and whether or not he found it appropriate to be called "Aristotle of our age."

Full Text Available O sistema de compras públicas do Governo Federal tem como um de seus objetivos a busca da eficiência. Esse conceito, contudo, amplia-se na medida em que são discutidos na Administração Pública aspectos complexos da criação de valor público, como expressão mais próxima do interesse do cidadão. Buscou-se na literatura identificar categorias que expressam o valor público para, então, analisar o sistema eletrônico de compras do Governo Federal brasileiro. As categorias encontradas foram: eficiência, transparência, accountability e interesse público. Na estratégia de pesquisa adotada, foram empregados os conceitos do pensamento sistêmico-complexo na elaboração de um instrumento de diagnóstico que permite a consideração de inter-relações entre categorias de análise, já aplicado no Ministério do Planejamento, Orçamento e Gestão (MPOG, órgão responsável pela gestão do sistema eletrônico de compras no Governo Federal brasileiro. Os resultados demonstraram que a categoria eficiência destaca-se das demais. Contudo, existem perspectivas para o desenvolvimento das demais categorias. O uso do instrumento de diagnóstico permitiu a percepção de novas possibilidades que podem contribuir para o sistema alcançar objetivos mais amplos no âmbito das compras do Governo Federal, dentre eles a criação de valor público.

The Code of Ethics of the National Magistrates in Optical Aristotelian

Full Text Available "The" man of value "is, in the Nicomachean Ethics, a kind of phenomenological description of the moral subject. Considering the magistrate's figure as the one aimed at the achievement of justice and therefore the realization of the moral subject, it is considered that a critical perspective of the Code of Ethics of the National Magistrates can not do without reference to the work of Aristotle. Aristotle's ethics based on what we might today call an anthropology, or a psychology of a philosophical nature, that not only clarifies the that would be the man in its essence, but also how to present their faculties. It is from this detailed study of human potential that Aristotle structure its ethics. These ideas appear here, therefore, is the foundation of his moral theory, is under a phenomenological, so that if evidence of the practical character and not just theoretical in his ethics proposal. Finally, we show the results of this approach in comparison with the parameters of contemporary legislation, which, although they are more utilitarian than Humanists do not leave anyway to have their base on a notion of justice that is still tax the doctrine of the Greek philosopher."

De Anima: Or, Ulysses and the Theological Turn in Modernist Studies

David Ayers

2017-08-01

Full Text Available Focusing on Joyce’s use of Aristotle’s De Anima, and on Aquinas’s response to Aristotle, this essay takes, as its starting point, the recourse to two areas of enquiry in recent work on modernism: animal studies and phenomenology. In this essay we examine the intersection within Ulysses of the concept of the soul in Aristotle and Aquinas, show how this relates to questions of animality, and open the way to asking what implication the theological reflection on the soul at the centre of Ulysses might have for a process of uncovering theological contents in the concept of “life” in modernist studies more generally.

[Female erotic dreams and female seed in ancient Greek medicine].

Science.gov (United States)

Andò, Valeria

2009-01-01

This paper analyses passages of the Hippocratic Corpus, of Aristotle and Galen about oneirogmòs, spermatic emission during sleep, referring specifically to women. Into the Hippocratic texts there is only one gynaecological case among many cases about males: for them this nocturnal emission is symptom of dangerous illness and De genitura gives a causal explanation of such phaenomenon. Instead, in Aristotle and Galen erotic dream is evidence for or against emission of female seed and female contribution to generation. As the argument ofHistoria animalium book X shows clear theoretical differences from that of De generatione animalium, the topic of erotic dream also concerns issues of authenticity.

Aristotle, nursing and health care ethics.

Science.gov (United States)

Scott, P A

1995-12-01

Even a brief consideration of the nature of nursing will indicate that an ethical dimension underlies much, if not all, of nursing practice. It is therefore important that students and practitioners are facilitated in developing an ethical awareness and sensitivity from early in their professional development. This paper argues that Aristotelian virtue theory provides a practice-based focus for health care ethics for a number of reasons. Also, because of his emphasis on the character of the moral agent, and on the importance of perception and emotion in moral decision-making, Aristotelian virtue theory provides a useful supplement to the traditional duty-based approaches to health care ethics analysis, which are increasingly being identified in the literature as having limits to their application within the health care context.

Rhetoric by Avistotel: a Legal View

Full Text Available Analysis of any phenomenon, which is far from the researcher for thousands years, in the light of this or that department of knowledge, highlights one and obscures another, prefers one over another. It happened to the rhetoric which was snatched by philology and neglected by lawyers. Although nowadays it is natural that the same phenomena are studied by different Sciences, the ancient rhetoric is looked at by most researchers as the art of philology. But the approach by Aristotle, in his Rhetoric, was legal rather than linguistic. Among the Aristotle's 4 requirements concerning good style (correctness, clarity, relevance and eloquence eloquence is only % and the % are closer to the law. Rhetoric has incorporated all the features of linguistic mechanisms and gave them to the law. The law perceived moral and ethical ideas: the good justice, virtue, ritual, law and techniques of philology and persuasion, among which the main one is syllogism already used in the dialectic, the main logic principle of legal reasoning. Towards the past, rhetoric is parallel to dialectic, but dialectic is focused on one person or on the speaker, and rhetoric aims at the audience, the first one tries to convince himself and the second tries to convince the audience and in this role rhetoric is linked with the law. As far as the evolution of law is concerned, instead of legal technique there was rhetoric (especially in its methodological form, defined by Aristotle, which can be considered as a step towards creating the law as a design in ancient Greece. It is proved by a comparison of the ancient institution of judicial process and judicial speeches with modern legal technicalities, which shows that the legal machinery embraced the principles of "rhetorical" technique. The methodological nature of the rhetoric by Aristotle is usually overlooked by linguists and lawyers.

Persuading through pity and fear: Aristotle’s account of the emotions in the Rhetoric

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Espen Andrè Lauritzen

2014-11-01

Full Text Available The aim of this paper is to examine what has commonly been perceived as a discrepancy between the generally pragmatic or amoral tone of the Rhetoric and Aristotle’s preoccupation with normative questions elsewhere in his works, including in the opening chapter of the Rhetoric itself. I suggest an interpretation that allows for this discrepancy to be avoided. When Aristotle warns against emotional influence in Rhetoric 1.1, this statement must be seen in context with his critique of previous writers of rhetorical handbooks. By looking at other historical sources to the rhetorical practice that Aristotle appears to criticize, we can better understand what the critique is really about. I argue that this historical context makes plausible an understanding of Aristotle’s critique as being directed towards a specific practice in the contemporary judicial practice, namely, that of trying to influence emotionally by means that are foreign to the argument. My main sources in establishing this historical context are Plato’s Apology and Lycurgus’ Against Leocrates. Reading Aristotle’s text in light of the judicial practice of the time offers an alternative understanding ridding us of the apparent contradiction. I suggest that it is the manner in which the emotional influence is made that is is essential. What Aristotle is warning against is emotional influence that is foreign to the subject matter; the critique is directed against influencing through establishing ethos or producing pathos without this having any con­nection to logos. By seeking a reading where the emotions can be understood as saying something genuine about the situation, something that without the emotions could not be properly understood, the apparent discrepancy in Aristotle can be resolved.

Possible astronomical references in two megalithic building of ancient Latium

Science.gov (United States)

Magli, G.

In the wide area of the ancient Latium Vetus - roughly enclosed within the coast and the Apennines between Rome and Terracina, in Central Italy - there are several examples of town's walls and buildings constructed with the spectacular megalithic technique called polygonal, in which enormous blocks are cut in irregular shapes and perfectly fit together without mortar. In many cases, for instance in Alatri, Arpino, Circei, Norba and Segni, the megalithic size of the blocks and the ingenuity in construction reach the same magnificence and impression of power and pride which characterize the worldwide famous Mycenaean towns of Tiryns and Mycenae, constructed around the XIII century BC. In Italy however, all polygonal walls are currently attributed to the Romans, and dated to the first centuries of the Roman republic (V-III century BC), although for most of these constructions no reliable stratigraphy is available. In the present work, which is part of an ongoing project aiming at a complete study of these buildings, we investigate the possible astronomical references in the planning of two among the most imposing of them, namely the so called Acropolis of Alatri and Circei.

Y su ubicación central, sirviendo de gozne entre la primera y la segunda parte de este fragmento de vida de los vetustenses, así parece indicarlo. Tal ubicación junto con la estructura de los distintos planos de la realidad, para nosotros ficcional, dentro del propio capítulo XVI evoca la imagen de un juego de muñecas rusas.

An argument for the use of Aristotelian method in bioethics.

Science.gov (United States)

Allmark, Peter

2006-01-01

The main claim of this paper is that the method outlined and used in Aristotle's Ethics is an appropriate and credible one to use in bioethics. Here "appropriate" means that the method is capable of establishing claims and developing concepts in bioethics and "credible" that the method has some plausibility, it is not open to obvious and immediate objection. It begins by suggesting why this claim matters and then gives a brief outline of Aristotle's method. The main argument is made in three stages. First, it is argued that Aristotelian method is credible because it compares favourably with alternatives. In this section it is shown that Aristotelian method is not vulnerable to criticisms that are made both of methods that give a primary place to moral theory (such as utilitarianism) and those that eschew moral theory (such as casuistry and social science approaches). As such, it compares favourably with these other approaches that are vulnerable to at least some of these criticisms. Second, the appropriateness of Aristotelian method is indicated through outlining how it would deal with a particular case. Finally, it is argued that the success of Aristotle's philosophy is suggestive of both the credibility and appropriateness of his method.

Neste espaço interdisciplinar da Nutrição e das Ciências Sociais, o alimento aparece associado a uma função natural (biológica, numa concepção em que natureza se contrapõe à cultura, e a comida assume sentidos e significados culturais (simbólicos. A alimentação expressa divisão do trabalho, da riqueza, é criação histórico-cultural através da qual se pode estudar uma sociedade. Atribui-se à Nutrição um sentido de ação racional, oriundo da constituição dessa ciência na modernidade, inserida num processo histórico de racionalização científica do comer e do alimentar-se. Consideramos que através da conceituação na prática interdisciplinar de pesquisa, que envolve um espaço compartilhado de saberes, podemos ser menos limitados por um modelo teórico uniformizado de saber e mais livres para pensar questões sobre a vida.Eating, nourishment or nutrition circulate in our culture as synonyms and thus do not account for the changes that occur in nourishment, which intended or unintended, have a hybridization pattern that represents a change of rules and food preferences. This paper aims to take these common sense conceptions as analytic categories for analyzing and interpreting research for the Humanities and Health Sciences in a theoretical perspective, through conceptualization. The food is associated with a natural function (biological, a concept in which nature is opposed to culture, and

Economia social, economia solidária, terceiro setor: do que se trata?

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Lechat, Noëlle Marie Paule

2002-01-01

Full Text Available A partir da segunda metade da década de 90, aparece na literatura acadêmica brasileira uma série de novas categorias que poderiámos agrupar sob as apelações de "terceiro setor" e "economia solidária". A pesquisa concentra-se na segunda categoria e tem por objetovo identificar sua origem e a realidade que ela pretende abranger. Neste texto são expostas algumas definições que podem ser encontradas na literatura internacional a respeito de termos como economia social, economia solidária, terceiro setor e outros mais. Deste confronto aparece que os conceitos utilizados no Brasil para estudar o campo da economia solidária tendem a uma certa estreiteza devido à pouca ênfase sobre questões como o resgate histórico anterior aos anos 80, a pluralidade ideológica e o hibridismo econômico, porém demonstram sensibilidade quanto à construção de uma outra cultura econômica de mercado, economia estatal e economia de reciprocidade que a categoria de terceiro setor tende a mascarar. Em vista disto, constata-se a necessidade de repensar esta categoria e de questionar as grandes expectativas assentadas na for mação de uma economia solidária para a transformação da sociedade

Full Text Available O objetivo deste estudo é verificar a influência da saliência da música, em primeiro ou segundo plano, sobre a atitude à marca, ao anúncio e à memória de curto prazo. Foram escolhidas duas marcas reais para o estudo que não possuem forte atuação no mercado brasileiro para evitar o conhecimento prévio da marca. As marcas são de diferentes categorias de mercado: Chicken Treat (fast food e Mazda (automóvel. O estudo experimental utilizou a saliência da música em background e foreground como variáveis independentes, além de duas categorias de produto para comparar os resultados. Foram utilizados dois anúncios audiovisuais existentes, não veiculados no mercado brasileiro, com a manipulação de narrações e da saliência da música, em primeiro e segundo plano. Foram obtidas 180 respostas válidas, sendo 63 nas etapas pré-experimentais e 117 no experimento. Os resultados gerados para ambas as categorias de produto mostram que a memória de curto prazo espontânea é afetada pela saliência da música. As atitudes foram positivas para as duas categorias e situações de música.

Gadamer’s Ambivalence toward the Enlightenment Project

2012-12-01

Full Text Available This essay explores Gadamer’s ambivalent relationship with modernity.  Gadamer is a prominent critic of the Enlightenment project.  His criticisms are both theoretical and practical.  Theoretically, representationalism is at the center of modern epistemology for Gadamer.  Practically, Gadamer sees the demotion of prudence (phronesis as fundamental to the “bad” Enlightenment.  Gadamer’s attempt to revive an appreciation of rhetoric is a way to the join the theoretical and practical dimensions of speech and life. The central representative philosopher of the Enlightenment for Gadamer is Kant.  The antithetical thinker is Aristotle.  Gadamer would have his Kant and his Aristotle too.  The tension between these is at the heart of Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics.

Fueron estudiadas 59 jugadoras de balonmano, todas ellas pertenecen a las categorias juvenil, junior y senior. Las variables analizadas fueron: 20 medidas antropometricas, el indice de masa corporal, sumatorio de cuatro pliegues, porcentaje muscular, el somatotipo y las velocidades de lanzamiento. No se encontraron diferencias estadisticamente significativas (p . 0,05 en las variables que caracterizan a la muestra asi como en el somatotipo y velocidad de lanzamiento en los distintos equipos nacionales. Todas las selecciones estudiadas presentan un somatotipo endo-mesomorfico a excepcion del equipo juvenil que presenta un somatotipo meso-endomorfico. Los resultados corroboran que existe un prototipo de jugadora de balonmano similar en todas las categorias. El componente mesomorfico es el predominante por lo que se puede deducir que la robustez musculo-esqueletico en el balonmano femenino puede ser determinante.

Physics as a Part of Liberal Education

Science.gov (United States)

Evans, James

2001-05-01

The natural sciences once had a distinguished place among the liberal arts. Indeed, the arts degree at the medieval university was a science major's degree. The quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, harmonics and astronomy) represented a conscious revival of the school curriculum of late antiquity, which had deep roots in Platonism. In the Middle Ages, all who aspired to enter the higher faculties (theology, medicine, law) had first to take a science degree. This was because scientific education mattered--it offered something essential for understanding both the world of nature and the world of man. When in the twelfth century the lost works of Aristotle were recovered, university professors risked excommunication in order to teach the new philosophy of nature. Aristotle's physics and cosmology passionately mattered, and within a century they had won a place in the core curriculum. A few centuries later, the followers of Descartes risked their careers to get Aristotle back out of the curriculum and Descartes in. Despite the supposed primacy of science in our own day, it has been a long while since comparable battles were waged over a curriculum of physics. In a profound way, the sciences matter less to the broader culture than they once did. In this talk I shall address the question of how this came to be and what purpose physics might have in a program of liberal education.

Teaching Socrates, Aristotle, and Augustine on Akrasia

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

J. Caleb Clanton

2015-04-01

Full Text Available A long-standing debate among moral philosophers centers on the question of whether ignorance is always at the root of moral wrongdoing, or whether, in certain cases, wrongdoing stems from something else—namely akrasia. This paper is a discussion of how undergraduate core curriculum teachers can incorporate Augustine’s work into this debate. I begin by briefly reconstructing Socrates’ and Aristotle’s accounts of wrongdoing, and then I sketch an Augustinian approach to the issue. Socrates contends that ignorance is the fundamental source of all wrongdoing; hence, akrasia is illusory. Though Aristotle’s view can seem more roundabout than Socrates’, it, too, is plausibly interpreted as entailing that robust, open-eyed akrasia is impossible. For Augustine, prior to receiving the illumination that comes with God’s grace, an individual’s sinfulness can be characterized as being the result of ignorance concerning the proper focus of one’s love. However, after receiving this illuminating grace, sinful action can be characterized as an instance of akrasia.

Aristotle vs. Plato: The Balkans' Paradoxical Enlightenment

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

D. Michalopoulos

2007-09-01

Full Text Available As it occurred in West, Aristotle’s thought was in Byzantium the main organon of philosophical meditation within the frame of the Christian Faith. Nonetheless, from the ninth century on it was a revival of Platonism that took place – of Neo-Platonism at the beginning and of Platonism itself at the end. The Church, initially indifferent, became suspicious only when, at the turning of the fourteenth to the fifteenth century, the Platonism seemed to engender somewhat a latent paganism; but the Patriarchate was not then able to fight that tendency. So only after the 1453 capture of Constantinople by the Ottomans, Gennadius Scholarius managed to root out from the Greek lands Platonism and its crypto-pagan extension. Be that as it may; the main paradox of the Balkan history is that in the early seventeenth century some leading Greek scholars endorsed the materialist interpretation of Aristotle’s thought – as it was taught in the University of Padua by Cesare Cremonini; and as a corollary this materialistic philosophical system began being taught in both Constantinople and Athens. It was that very way that the Enlightenment took birth in the Balkans – and somehow became a State ideology - long before its prevalence in France. And of course all this had as a result a turn toward Physics and Chemistry with far-reaching consequences

Full Text Available O artigo tem como objetivo identificar as similaridades e diferenças nos valores relacionados ao trabalho e preferências por recompensa entre diferentes configurações organizacionais, especificamente organizações privadas, públicas e de contextos mistos ou híbridos. Tendo como base pesquisa realizada no Brasil por Tamayo e Gondim (1996 sobre os valores e nos Estados Unidos por Wittmer (1991 sobre preferências por recompensa, as variáveis de interesse relacionaram-se a quatro categorias de valores associados ao trabalho: i eficácia/eficiência, ii sistema de gestão organizacional, iii respeito ao empregado e iv preferências por recompensa. O procedimento analítico adotado foi o da comparação das distribuições para os grupos, em cada categoria de análise, usando a análise da variância e confirmação pelo teste não paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis. Foram encontradas diferenças significativas no nível de 5% apenas para dois itens relacionados à categoria sistema de gestão organizacional (respeito aos níveis de autoridade e à hierarquia, e cumprimento das tarefas dentro dos padrões da organização para as respostas dos três grupos. Em relação à categoria preferências por recompensa, os resultados contrariam aqueles obtidos por Wittmer (1991 no contexto americano.

Istorikai apie istoriją ir tragediją | Historians on History and Tragedy

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Nijolė Juchnevičienė

2004-01-01

Full Text Available One of the distinct features of Greek historical thought – if are inclined to accept the existence of one in classical Greek culture and do not condemn it as totally unhistorical – is that it was greatly influenced by the poetry and was expressed primarily in poetry. The first historical dimension of man in Greek culture was poetical. When historiography came into existence, it, though very popular, has never become the central axis of Greek culture: this position steadily belonged to poetry, especially to epic and tragic poetry. Aristotle in his Poetics has already got the feel of similarity between the tragic poetry and historiography. He gave preference to tragic poetry as the best of literary means to record and to transfer the experience of the past. The other genres remained on the periphery of his field of vision; historiography in his opinion is not distinguished from the chronicle. Poetry is much better than history, because it deals with universal, history with the particular events. Thus according to Aristotle the connection between drama and history lies primarily in their subject matter; history is the source for plot and characters for both of them. But the most significant is not the similarity of the plot, but the affinity between historical thinking and dramatic thinking, namely, according to R. Collingwood, the concern of both the inner as well as the outer side of action. Aristotle was the first to compare tragedy and history. With the Aristotelian Peripatos some scholars were inclined to connect a special school of history, the so called tragic history. It has been alleged, that peripatetic theory of historiography deliberately applied to history-writing some of the principles, which Aristotle applied to tragedy. The evidence for a separate theory of tragic historiography is very doubtful indeed. But this topic, started by Aristotle, has become t^poV koin^V in post-Aristotelian historiography.

[An outline of odontoiatry and odontology in the ancient world].

Science.gov (United States)

Musitelli, S

1996-01-01

Dentistry was surely practiced in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, Etruria, Greece and Rome, but odontology arose only with the dawn of Greek science. One may find the first references to a rational odontology only in the fragments of the Pre-socratic philosophers and in the Corpus Hippocraticum. Aristotle was the first to treat odontology under a comparative anatomo-physiological point of view. Celsus and Scribonius Largus got their matter from Hippocrates, Aristotle, the Hellenistic anatomists as well as from folk-traditions, but payed attention rather to dentistry than to odontology. Finally Galen gathered all the knowledge about odontology and dentistry from Hippocrates up to the Hellenistic anatomists and organized all the matter in his monumental teleologic and theological system, that was inherited by both the so called iatrosophists and the Byzantine physicians.

Full Text Available Objetivo: Identificar o perfil nutricional de pacientes adultos e idosos admitidos em um hospital universitário. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, retrospectivo e descritivo. Foram utilizados para avaliação nutricional o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC e a Avaliação Subjetiva Global (ASG, que classifica o paciente em três categorias: bem nutrido (A, moderadamente ou suspeita de ser desnutrido (B ou gravemente desnutrido (C. Os dados (ASG, IMC e condição primária foram coletados a partir de informações dos formulários de avaliação nutricional preenchidos na rotina assistencial, aplicados em até setenta e duas horas após a interação do paciente. Esse estudo foi aprovado pela Comissão Científica e pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da PUCRS. Resultados: O estudo incluiu 32 adultos e 36 idosos (n=68. Em relação à ASG, 46,9% dos adultos foram classificados na categoria A e 53,1% na categoria B. Entre os idosos, 25% foram classificados na categoria A e 75% na categoria B. O IMC apontou 37,5% dos adultos como eutróficos e 62,5% como sobrepeso e/ou obesidade; os idosos apresentaram 50% de eutrofia, 36,1% de sobrepeso e 13,9% de baixo peso. Conclusão: O perfil nutricional dos pacientes estudados foi caracterizado pela alta prevalência de risco nutricional e sobrepeso/obesidade concomitantes nos dois grupos estudados. Esta realidade parece traduzir, em nível hospitalar, a situação de transição nutricional vivida em nosso país na atualidade. Os resultados evidenciam a importância da utilização de mais de um método de triagem nutricional em pacientes internados em unidades hospitalares, para obter-se maior precisão na avaliação

Análise do ciclo de vida aplicada à produção de bioetanol a partir de material Lignocelulósico remanescente em dejeto bovino

2016-07-01

Full Text Available Biocombustíveis podem ter uma contribuição significativa na redução desses danos ambientais dependendo da sua rota de produção. A produção de bioetanol, ou etanol lignocelulósico, pode ser uma alternativa frente aos combustíveis fósseis e de grande relevância estratégica para o Brasil. Neste contexto, estudou-se a analise de ciclo de vida (ACV da produção de etanol a partir do material lignocelulósico contido no dejeto bovino. Estes dejetos são uma biomassa rica em celulose que pode ser convertida a glicose e outros açúcares fermentáveis e destes à bioetanol. Para tanto considerou-se como Unidade Funcional o processamento de 1.000 kg de dejeto. Para a analise dos impactos do método EcoIndicator 99, através das bibliotecas EcoInvent, do software SimaPro versão 7.3.2. Foram consideradas as seguintes categorias de impacto: cancerígenos, orgânicos e inorgânicos inaláveis, mudanças climáticas, radiação, camada de ozônio, ecotoxicidade, acidificação/eutrofização, uso do solo, minerais e combustíveis fósseis. Para avaliação de danos ambientais estas categorias foram agrupadas em três categorias de danos: danos à saúde humana, danos aos ecossistemas e danos aos recursos naturais. De acordo com o estudo realizado verificou-se que o insumo do processo que mais contribuiu na ACV foi o consumo de energia, resultando em maior impacto ambiental na categoria “cancerígenos”, agrupada na categoria de “danos à saúde”. Com base nestes resultados foi possível ainda minimizar os impactos propondo modificações principalmente nos sistemas de aquecimento que poderão ser utilizados.

Metaphysical Modality, Modality of Predicate and the Theory of "Decisive Necessity”

2010-01-01

Full Text Available Aristotle in the Organon (1949: 9,30 a ,15-19 explicitly states that in a categorical syllogism when the minor premise is absolute (without modality operator and the major is necessary, the conclusion will be necessary too. This Aristotle's view has been the source of many conflicts and disputes in the history of logic. The famous logicians and historians of logic in the twentieth century as "Nicholas Rescher" and "Becker" believe that Aristotle's view is justifiable and defensible (at least compared to the first figure only if, the modality of major premise is considered as the property of predicate (modality de re. Today, we know very well that the modality of predicate is closely linked to Metaphysical and philosophical Modality. “Shihab al-Din al- Suhrawardi” in the theory of "Decisive (Battateh Necessity” by accepting this base, explicitly states that, in the beginning, the modality must be mentioned as a part of the predicate and then the modality of relation or copula is summarized and reduced to necessity. The modern formalization of the most important part of this theory is as follows: ("x (àAx É à Bx º ("x □ (àAx É à BxThis paper discusses the historical overview of the metaphysical modality firstly and then shows that the theory of "Decisive Necessity” is true and justified in a model of modal logic with equivalent accessibility relation and homogeneous possible world view (fixed domain.

A produção da "cidade latino-americana" The production of "the Latin American city"

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Adrián Gorelik

2005-06-01

Full Text Available Este trabalho propõe uma análise histórica da categoria "cidade latino-americana" como construção cultural. O argumento central é que, durante o período compreendido entre o segundo pós-guerra e a década de 1970, a idéia de "cidade latino-americana" funcionou como uma categoria do pensamento social, como uma figura do imaginário intelectual e político em amplas regiões do continente. Este texto procura reconstruir os principais itinerários conceituais e ideológicos da categoria, suas funções políticas e institucionais na conjuntura específica da região. Esse modo de entender a categoria "cidade latino-americana" em sua configuração histórica específica, sugere o autor, pode oferecer uma via produtiva para os estudos culturais latino-americanos.This paper suggests a historical analysis of the category "Latin American city" as a cultural construct. The central argument is that, during the period between the post-war and the 1970's, the idea of a Latin American city became a category of social thought, as part of the intellectual and political imagination in several regions of the continent. The text tries to rebuild the main conceptual and ideological turns, their political and institutional functions within the specific regional circumstances. The article suggests that this approach to the "Latin American city" category in its precise historical configuration may be a productive path for Latin-American cultural studies.

Full Text Available Estudo junto a 34 Relatórios de Auditorias Técnico-Contábil, empreendidos em Unidades de Saúde de Rio Branco-Acre, nos anos de 1994/95, envolvendo as atividades do SIA-SIH/SUS. Como objetivo analisou-se as distorções encontradas, segundo 8 categorias em diferentes áreas de atuação, dando ênfase nas atividades de anotações de enfermagem. Estabeleceu-se também sub-categorias, as quais foram agrupadas por semelhanças de conteúdo. Nas 34 auditorias encontrou-se 491 distorções, representando uma média de 14,4 distorções por unidades. Como resultados mais significativos das categorias, destaca-se as 198(40,6% distorções em Administração; 121(24,6% em Medicina; 99(20,2% em Enfermagem e 51(10,2% em Contabilidade. Dentro das sub-categorias em Enfermagem, cita-se as 34(34,3% distorções em anotação de enfermagem e 15(15,1% na administração de medicamentos. Como conclusão encontrou-se que o pessoal de enfermagem não vem seguindo as regras de anotação de enfermagem, colocando em risco não só o paciente, como também o profissional e a própria unidade de saúde. Tais resultados, acredita-se, em muito contribuirão com os técnicos envolvidos na produção, controle e auditoria nos recursos oriundos do SUS.

Aristotle’s Theory of Deduction and Paraconsistency

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Evandro L. Gomes

2010-04-01

Full Text Available In the Organon Aristotle describes some deductive schemata in which inconsistencies do not entail the trivialization of the logical theory involved. This thesis is corroborated by three different theoretical topics by him discussed, which are presented in this paper. We analyse inference schema used by Aristotle in the Protrepticus and the method of indirect demonstration for categorical syllogisms. Both methods exemplify as Aristotle employs classical reductio ad absurdum strategies. Following, we discuss valid syllogisms from opposite premises (contrary and contradictory studied by the Stagerian in the Analytica Priora (B15. According to him, the following syllogisms are valid from opposite premises, in which small Latin letters stand for terms such as subject and predicate, and capital Latin letters stand for the categorical propositions such as in the traditional notation: (i in the second figure, Eba,Aba ` Eaa (Cesare, Aba, Eba ` Eaa (Camestres, Eba, I ba ` Oaa (Festino, and Aba,Oba ` Oaa (Baroco; (ii in the third one, Eab,Aab ` Oaa (Felapton, Oab,Aab ` Oaa (Bocardo and Eab, Iab ` Oaa (Ferison. Finally, we discuss the passage from the Analytica Posteriora (A11 in which Aristotle states that the Principle of Non-Contradiction is not generally presupposed in all demonstrations (scientific syllogisms, but only in those in which the conclusion must be proved from the Principle; the Stagerian states that if a syllogism of the first figure has the major term consistent, the other terms of the demonstration can be each one separately inconsistent. These results allow us to propose an interpretation of his deductive theory as a broad sense paraconsistent theory. Firstly, we proceed to a hermeneutical analysis, evaluating its logical significance and the interplay of the results with some other points of Aristotle’s philosophy. Secondly, we point to a logical interpretation of the Aristotelian syllogisms from opposite premises in the antilogisms

Political animal and scattered animal? The identity of the aristotelian man

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Laura FEBRES-CORDERO PITTIER

2017-12-01

Full Text Available Among the Aristotelian fragments that qualify man as a political animal, the lines 487b33-488a13of Historia animalium –in which Aristotle points out some differences in the ways of life and the actions of certain animals–, have recently acquired great relevance. However, just as it happens with the most acknowledged references to the zoon politikon, the fragment brings great difficulties concerning the political way that life appears in comparison and contrast with other three ways of life: the gregarious, solitary and scattered ways of life. Accordingly, this article will try to understand the place of man in regards to the four aforementioned ways of life, considering that Aristotle seems to state that man “dualizes” between the political and the scattered ways of life, with the objective of understanding one of the main foundations of Aristotle’s political theory

Photogrammetry and remote sensing education subjects

2017-09-01

The rapid technologic advances in the scientific areas of photogrammetry and remote sensing require continuous readjustments at the educational programs and their implementation. The teaching teamwork should deal with the challenge to offer the volume of the knowledge without preventing the understanding of principles and methods and also to introduce "new" knowledge (advances, trends) followed by evaluation and presentation of relevant applications. This is of particular importance for a Civil Engineering Faculty as this in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, as the framework of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is closely connected with applications in the four educational Divisions of the Faculty. This paper refers to the above and includes subjects of organizing the courses in photogrammetry and remote sensing in the Civil Engineering Faculty of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. A scheme of the general curriculum as well the teaching aims and methods are also presented.

THE EVOLUTION AND IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS ETHICS IN THE COMPANIES

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

ROMANESCU MARCEL LAURENȚIU

2016-12-01

Full Text Available From a microeconomic perspective, ethics is associated with confidence. Ethics statements are generally prescriptive or normative statements, such statements are indicators for words such as "should", "shall be binding", "allowed" or "forbidden". Business ethics is a description of how those involved in these activities can be labeled as moral, immoral or amoral. Business ethics is the study statements and decisions that occur in the business sphere, in terms of what is morally good or bad. This material aproaches the fundamental terms of ethics, mandatory starting from Aristotle, who said that all art, literature, action or judgment are going to better nd pursue only the good. However there is a difference between goals because if there are many activities, areas, arts, sciences there also many purposes. Aristotle believes that science that analyzes the good in everything was politics and other sciences are covered by it.

Da obediência ao consentimento: reflexões sobre o experimento de Milgram à luz das instituições modernas

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Sandra Leal de Melo Dahia

2015-04-01

Full Text Available O objetivo do presente ensaio é fornecer uma leitura sobre os resultados do clássico experimento de Stanley Milgram em torno da obediência à autoridade a partir de algumas categorias extraídas dos estudos teóricos do sociólogo Anthony Giddens e da filósofa Hannah Arendt. O texto está estruturado em torno de dois aspectos centrais. O primeiro afirma o contexto das tendências culturais e as características das instituições modernas como fatores decisivos para a compreensão dos resultados experimentais. Enfatiza, para tanto, a modalidade de confiança que os sistemas sociais, como os sistemas peritos, instauram na vida hodierna, capaz de produzir uma peculiar subordinação ao conhecimento científico e técnico, concomitante a uma plena desinformação sobre seus princípios de funcionamento. O segundo aspecto do artigo visa realçar a importância da responsabilidade moral dos sujeitos experimentais, propondo, com base nas reflexões de Hannah Arendt, o deslocamento do eixo central da análise do experimento da categoria obediência para a categoria consentimento.

Size-dependent variation in plant form.

Science.gov (United States)

Niklas, Karl J; Cobb, Edward D

2017-09-11

The study of organic form has a long and distinguished history going at least as far back as Aristotle's Historia Anima¯lium, wherein he identified five basic biological processes that define the forms of animals (metabolism, temperature regulation, information processing, embryo development, and inheritance). Unfortunately, all of Aristotle's writings about plant forms are lost. We know of them only indirectly from his student Theophrastus's companion books, collectively called Historia Plantarum, wherein plant forms are categorized into annual herbs, herbaceous perennials, shrubs, and trees. The study of plant forms did not truly begin until the romantic poet and naturalist Goethe proposed the concept of a hypothetical 'Plant Archetype', declared "Alles ist Blatt", and first coined the word morphologie, which inspired the French anatomist Cuvier (who established the field of comparative morphology), the English naturalist Darwin (who saw his theory of evolution reinforced by it), and the Scottish mathematician D'Arcy Thompson (who attempted to quantify it).

Kosmiese mag in Pseudo-Aristoteles, De mundo, en die Nuwe Testament

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Johan C. Thom

2012-02-01

Full Text Available Cosmic power in Pseudo-Aristotle, De mundo, and the New Testament. In order to locate the cosmological views underlying the writings of Paul and other New Testament (NT authors within their historical contexts it is necessary to compare them with other contemporary worldviews, such as those expressed in philosophical writings of the period. New Testament research has thus far concentrated on the most popular and influential philosophical traditions of NT times, that is, Stoicism and Middle Platonism. Other philosophical traditions may however also offer valuable insights. In this article I suggested that the De mundo attributed to Aristotle but probably dating from the 1st century BCE or CE provides early evidence for a splitting up of the demiurgic function of God in order to preserve God’s transcendence. I furthermore argued that a similar division of divine functions is also evident in some NT texts, for example, John 1, Colossians 1, and Hebrews 1. This notion is explored using Colossians 1 as example.

On the Time of the Intellect: The Interpretation of De Anima 3.6 (43ob 7-20) in Renaissance and Early Modern Italian Philosophy.

Science.gov (United States)

Dubouclez, Olivier

2015-01-01

This article argues that an original debate over the relationship between time and the intellect took place in Northern Italy in the second half of the sixteenth century, which was part of a broader reflection on the temporality of human mental acts. While human intellectual activity was said to be 'above time' during the Middle Ages, Renaissance scholars such as Marcantonio Genua (1491-1563), Giulio Castellani (1528-1586), Antonio Montecatini (1537-1599) and Francesco Piccolomini (1520-1604), greatly influenced by the Simplician and Alexandrist interpretations of Aristotle's works, proposed alterna- tive conceptions based on the interpretation of De anima 3.6 (430b 7-20) according to which intellectual acts happen in a both 'undivided' and 'divisible time'. In order to explain Aristotle's puzzling claim, they were led to conceive of intellectual activity as a process similar to sensation, corresponding to a certain lapse of time (Castellani), an instant (Montecatini), or a mix of instantaneousness and concrete duration (Piccolomini), depending on their theoretical options.

The difficulties of Biocommunication

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Borrelli Eugenio

2002-09-01

Full Text Available Communicating modern biotechnologies is certainly no easy task. To tackle such a complex and future-oriented assignment, help may arrive, paradoxically, from the past, from ancient rhetorical tradition, and in particular from Aristotle, the most renowned rhetoric teacher of all time. In his Rhetoric, Aristotle suggested that to be persuasive speakers should make use of widely accepted opinions (endoxa, i.e. the common sense shared by all. Common sense is expressed in common truths and value-laden maxims. Common sense, however, is not flat but dialectical, in that it includes contrasting subjects. While reasoning, orators do not just passively report a conception of an unchanging world, but they reproduce the contrasting conceptions included in common sense. In the case of the debate about Biotechnologies, the contrasting conceptions can be found in the Natural/Artificial dualism, in the dichotomy between an attitude marked by obscurantism and suspicion of scientific and technological innovation and that of a scientistic attitude

Full Text Available One of Plato’s pupils, Aristotle, whose studying activity might be divided into three periods has been known as a great thinker throughout the history of thought. He was a thinker who could achieve to systematize philosophy. The many sided thinker wrote on logic, grammar, rhetoric, literature critique, natural history, psychology and history of philosophy. Today it seems interesting how often he mentioned some samples of art and artistic creations in his writings to illuminate his principles. It may be said, he followed his teacher Plato with this practice. But we know that the two thinkers' principles differed in many ways such as the way they perceived artistic activity and it’s works. For example; according to Plato, it was impossible to see beauty on a statue of a sculpturor like Polycleitus. Because the real beauty existed only in the universe of ideas. But for Aristotle, it was impossible to comprehension beauty if a beautiful object didn’t exist

CONFESIÓN Y SIGILO SACRAMENTAL EN EL CONCILIO LATERANENSE IV: DE LA NORMATIVA A LA REFLEXIÓN DOCTRINAL

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Daniela Tarantino

2016-12-01

Full Text Available Among the standards approved by the Fourth Lateran Council the XXI stands out as the most important in the sacramental discipline. As usual it takes the name from its opening words, Omnis utriusque sexus. Through it, not only did the Church sanction a universal law that established the obligation of the believer to confess all his sins to their priest annually, in order to receive at least at Easter, after the execution of the imposed penance, the sacrament of the Eucharist, but also introduced a broader regulation of the same sacrament which brought up a relevant subject such as the sigillum confessionis and the related penalties which were applicable if violated. For the first time this institution, which has its roots in the divine right, received a general and organic legislative discipline intended to become the subject for reflection on the part of the doctrine, especially in the wake of its reception in the Liber Extra by Gregory IX (X 5. 38. 12. Given a brief excursus on the emergence in the jus vetus of a first regulation in relation to the duty of the Seal of Confession, we will try to understand the impact of l of the Innocentian legislation on doctrinal reflection and the development of the following regulation on the subject between the Middle Ages and the modern age.

Full Text Available Este estudo examina duas categorias dialógicas regidas pela argumentação nas redações argumentativas escolares, que respondem pela propagação de sentidos do senso comum (categoria de consenso e de sentidos que se contrapõem ao senso comum (categoria de polêmica. Há três matrizes dialógicas observadas em redações escolares: os diálogos do sujeito-produtor com outras vozes sociais, com a proposta de redação e, principalmente, com o interlocutor-examinador. Esses diálogos inserem um conjunto de propriedades que ora são manifestações da categoria consensual ora da polêmica, e estão de acordo com o exercício argumentativo do texto. Entre as propriedades dialógicas estão a aplicação de noções generalizantes, a organização de enunciados descritivos, a observação de um raciocínio lógico formalizado, o rompimento com a proposta de redação, a inserção de enunciados interrogativo-retóricos e o uso de paráfrases extraídas da proposta.This paper examines two dialogical categories of the scholarly argumentative text: consensual one (common sense enunciates and polemical one (opposed to common sense contents. Three dialogical matrices are investigated: the dialogue between subject-producer and other social voices, and text-proposal, and interlocutor-examiner. These dialogues insert a set of textual and discursive properties which are consensual category manifestations or polemical ones in accordance with the argumentative arrangement of text. Among the dialogical properties are wholeness enunciates, argumentative-descriptive enunciates, strict logical reasoning, breakage of text-proposal, interrogative-rhetoric enunciates and paraphrases from the text-proposal.

A humanização e a formação médica na perspectiva dos estudantes de medicina da UFRN - Natal - RN - Brasil

Antonia Núbia de Oliveira Alves

Full Text Available Este estudo, por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa, busca compreender a percepção dos estudantes de Medicina da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN acerca da humanização no contexto da formação médica. Foi utilizada a técnica de grupo focal, envolvendo uma equipe multidisciplinar com profissionais das áreas de antropologia, psicologia e medicina, que estudou dois grupos de nove estudantes do último ano do curso. Os dados foram analisados pela técnica de análise de conteúdo temática categorial, da qual emergiram três categorias: relação estudante-paciente, ensino-aprendizagem e relação estudante-professor. A primeira categoria permite identificar que a experiência do contato do estudante com o paciente é essencial à construção de uma identidade profissional humanizada. Em relação à segunda categoria, percebe-se que professores sem capacitação nas práticas pedagógicas, inerentes à profissão de professor, e a dicotomia teoria-prática dificultam a formação autônoma do conhecimento e uma visão integral do indivíduo. Da terceira categoria emergiram duas subcategorias antagônicas (professor-modelo e relações assimétricas, que refletem a importância da postura ético-humanista do professor em detrimento de uma atitude autoritária para a construção da identidade profissional do estudante. Esses dados apontam aspectos da formação médica que podem respaldar uma discussão acerca da humanização no contexto das novas diretrizes curriculares.

Full Text Available Com as mudanças no mercado globalizado brasileiro nos últimos anos, principalmente de supermercados, o comportamento do consumidor veio sofrendo algumas alterações. Mediante o incremento no poder de compra da terceira idade, supermercados identificaram a necessidade de atender, em especial, aos desejos específicos deste grupo de consumidores. Assim, este estudo tem, como objetivo, explorar as categorias de influência no processo de compra em supermercado sob o olhar de clientes aposentados. Para a consecução do objetivo, optou-se pela coleta de informações por meio de grupos focais. As opiniões apresentadas pelos aposentados foram analisadas através de análise de conteúdo, levando-se em consideração categorias previamente observadas na literatura, além de categorias emergentes. Como resultado, observou-se que, embora preço e localização sejam elementos relevantes, não se caracterizam mais como fatores determinantes de escolha. Aparentemente, a satisfação está direcionada ao atendimento e à qualidade dos serviços de cada setor. Este grupo de consumidores destaca-se pela disposição em vivenciar novas experiências de compra.

Full Text Available OBJETIVO: Descrever os medicamentos utilizados por gestantes que fizeram o pré-natal em serviços do SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde em cidades brasileiras. MÉTODOS: Utilizando-se um questionário estruturado, foram entrevistadas 5.564 gestantes entre a 21ª e a 28ª semanas de gravidez, que se apresentaram para consulta em serviço de pré-natal do SUS em seis grandes cidades brasileiras. As perguntas foram agrupadas em "uso orientado" para dor, cólica, enjôo, tosse e outros e em "medicamento orientado" para vitamina, ferro e flúor. Foi adotada a classificação de risco do FDA (Food and Drug Administration, entre 1991 e 1995. RESULTADOS: Do total de 5.564, 4.614 (83,8% das gestantes usaram pelo menos um medicamento durante a gestação, somando 9.556 medicamentos. Os medicamentos mais utilizados foram as vitaminas associadas a antianêmicos (33,5%, os medicamentos que atuam sobre o aparelho digestivo (31,3%, os analgésicos/antiinflamatórios (22,2%, os antianêmicos (19,8% e os antimicrobianos (11,1%.

CONCLUSÕES: Foram observadas grandes variações quanto ao uso de medicamentos, principalmente antianêmicos e vitaminas associadas a antianêmicos, entre as várias cidades estudadas, mostrando a ausência de um padrão nacional quanto ao uso desses medicamentos na gestação. Para uma proporção de 12,9% dos medicamentos utilizados, não foi localizada qualquer informação na literatura sobre a segurança para o uso durante a gestação. Essa proporção, somada aos 26,9% dos medicamentos classificados no grupo "C", mostra que 40% do uso de medicamentos na gestação são feitos sem bases definidas de segurança. Entretanto, medicamentos claramente contra-indicados durante a gestação corresponderam a apenas 3% dos 9
