Rights, Individualism, Community: Aristotle And The Communitarian-Liberalism Debate, Jeffery Nicholas
Rights, Individualism, Community: Aristotle And The Communitarian-Liberalism Debate, Jeffery Nicholas
Jeffery Nicholas
I argue that Aristotle could not be a fore-runner to liberalism, because his view of humanity is that human beings are constituted by a community and achieve self-fulfillment only as so constituted. Thus, Aristotle endorses a unique position that defends the freedom and self-development of the individual within the parameters of a social order.

Peirce's "Diagrammatic Reasoning" As A Solution Of The Learning Paradox, Michael H.G. Hoffmann
Peirce's "Diagrammatic Reasoning" As A Solution Of The Learning Paradox, Michael H.G. Hoffmann
Michael H.G. Hoffmann
How can we reach “new” levels of knowledge if “new” means that there is something “evolved” that cannot be generated simply by deduction or by induction from what has been given before. The paper’s first goal is to show that two paradigmatic attempts at solving this so-called “learning paradox,” Plato’s apriorism and Aristotle’s inductivism, form two horns of a dilemma: While the inductivist cannot justify any representation of data without assuming a priori given hypotheses, the apriorist cannot justify why a certain application of given ideas is correct without being caught in an infinite regress. The second goal is to …

Hannah Arendt E O Pensamento Político Sob O Signo Do Amor Mundi, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Hannah Arendt E O Pensamento Político Sob O Signo Do Amor Mundi, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Andre de Macedo Duarte
O conceito agostiniano de “Amor Mundi” é essencial para o pensamento político de Hannah Arendt, pois lhe inspirou uma alternativa em relação à atitude teórica dos pensadores da política de inspiração marxista ou liberal. O presente texto apresenta dois objetivos. Trata-se tanto de compreender o sentido que Arendt atribuiu ao conceito agostiniano de “Amor Mundi” em A Condição Humana (1958), estabelecendo, para isso, uma comparação com sua interpretação prévia deste mesmo conceito na Tese de Doutorado, O Conceito de Amor em Agostinho (1929), bem como, também, de explorar as implicações teóricas decorrentes de sua orientação do pensamento político para o …
