Limites e dissonâncias da razão comunicativa

Arthur Grupillo oferece uma importante contribuição à teoria crítica, utilizando os conceitos de limite e dissonância para mostrar como a arte e a estética emergem de modo sistemático e problemático na obra de Jürgen Habermas. Explorando interstícios e ambiguidades, o autor mapeia o diálogo de Habermas com a estética da Escola de Frankfurt – desde Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse e Walter Benjamin até Albrecht Wellmer e Martin Seel. Focalizando a teoria da ação comunicativa e a pragmática formal, Grupillo mostra como Habermas tenta circunscrever a reivindicação de validade na arte e na estética ao fazer a transição da esfera cognitiva à esfera motivacional e explorar vários conceitos – veracidade, expressividade, autenticidade, adequação, formação simbólica, ação dramatúrgica e até mesmo verdade, como a "abertura de mundo" proposta por Martin Heidegger. Numa crítica imanente a Habermas, o autor conclui que a questão da verdade estética é identificada, mas não desenvolvida adequadamente, permanecendo como dissonância a ser resolvida pela razão.

Arte & Estética

A variedade é uma característica que marca os rumos da estética. Sem a pretensão de esgotar suas consequências e aplicações, este volume nos apresenta essa variedade de aplicações e transposições que nos permite apresentar uma mostra significativa e coesa dos estudos que relacionam a reflexão filosófica e as manifestações artísticas em terras brasileiras. A interdisciplinaridade aparente nos apresenta os próprios caminhos, à guisa de uma unidade dada a priori, de uma disciplina filosófica que, desde sua fundação no século XVIII, viu suas fronteiras e caracterizações se expandirem na direção das mais distintas caracterizações e apresentações de problemas que envolvem a arte e a filosofia. É como unidade na variedade que a estética se revela uma faceta importante da reflexão, e esse livro nos dá ainda mais uma prova disso.

Just Interpretations

  • Categories: Law

"An important contribution to contemporary jurisprudential debate and to legal thought more generally, Just Interpretations is far ahead of currently available work."--Peter Goodrich, author of Oedipus Lex "I was struck repeatedly by the clarity of expression throughout the book. Rosenfeld's description and criticism of the recent work of leading thinkers distinguishes his work within the legal theory genre. Furthermore, his own theory is quite original and provocative."--Aviam Soifer, author of Law and the Company We Keep

'[Simplicius'] moral interpretation of Epictetus is preserved in the library of nations, as a classic book, most excellently adapted to direct the will, to purify the heart, and to confirm the understanding, by a just confidence in the nature both of God and man.' Edward Gibbon 'This book, written by a "pagan" philosopher, makes the most Christian impression conceivable. The betrayal of all reality through morality is here present in its fullest splendour - pitiful psychology, the philosopher is reduced to a country parson. And Plato is to blame for all of it! He remains Europe's greatest misfortune!' Fredrich Nietzsche Of these two rival reactions the favourable one was most common. Epictetus' Handbook on ethics was used in Christian monasteries, and Simplicius' commentary on it was widely available up to the nineteenth century. The commentary gives us a fascinating chance to see how a pagan Neoplatonist transformed Stoic ideas, adding Neoplatonist accounts of theology, theodicy, providence, free will and the problem of evil. This translation of the Commentary on the Handbook is published in two volumes. This is the first, covering chapters 1-26; the second covers chapters 27-53.

In The Limits of Rationality Rogers Brubaker explores the intimate and ambiguous interplay between Max Weber's empirical work and his moral vision, between his historical and sociological analysis of the 'specific and peculiar rationalism' of modern Western civilization and his deeply ambivalent moral response to that rationalism. Weber's ideas about rationality are central to his sociological work, and they are central to his moral perspective. But these ideas are neither easily accessible nor easily understandable, in part because Weber never systematized them, in part because his work is usually encountered piecemeal and seldom studied in its entirety. Brubaker reconstructs Weber's rich but fragmented discussion of rationalism and rationalization in a systematic fashion, thereby illuminating his empirical and moral diagnosis of modernity - a diagnosis that remains unsurpassed in pathos and anyalytical power.
