CARVALHO, L. L. P. Lévinas, Blanchot: The genre of Philosophy. 2019. Thesis (Doctorate Degree) – Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas. Departamento de Filosofia, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2019. Our work has, although indirectly, plural intentions, being the most evident of them, to approach the intellectual relation established between Emmanuel Lévinas and Maurice Blanchot. This relationship has, as a subsidy for its development, the fields of philosophy and literature, which will be approached from the peculiar perspectives of Blanchot. Moreover, we use the concept of community as conceived by Blanchot as the articulating axis of his thought, which is highlighted in relation to other relevant themes primarily the concept of outside and neutral, indispensable for understanding Blanchetian thinking and has a conception related to the themes studied by Lévinas. Keyords: Blanchot, Lévinas, Philosophy, Literature, Community

Christ and the just society in the thought of Augustine

Augustine devoted a section of the first book of the City of God to a critical reconsideration of the ancient story of the rape and suicide of the Roman matron Lucretia. Four centuries earlier, Livy had canonized Lucretia as an exemplum virtutis: in the Augustan age Lucretia embodied ideas about feminine chastity and civic order that Livy deemed vital for the regeneration of Roman moral and political life. Following the sack of Rome in 410, however, Augustine found Lucretia's tale a powerful idiom for responding to pagan recriminations, for critiquing current conceptions of honor, and for refuting contemporary Christian claims about sexual purity and the nobility of volitional death. Augustine's reappraisal of Lucretia was subversive and a direct challenge to widely held cultural assumptions.

Re-Textualizing Lucretia: Cultural Subversion in the City of God

Christ and the Just Society in the Thought of Augustine is a fresh study of Augustine’s political thought and ethics in relation to his theology. The book examines fundamental issues in Augustine’s theological and political ethics in relation to the question ‘HowdidAugustine conceive the just society?’ At the heart of the book’s approach is the relationship that Augustine outlines in his City of God and other writings between Christ and those believers who acknowledge him to be the only source of the soul’s virtue. The book demonstrates howAugustine sees Christ’s grace and the scriptures contributing to the soul’s growth in virtue, especially as these issues are framed by the Pelagian controversy. Finally, the implications which Augustine sees for Christ’s mediation of virtue are examined in relation to his revision of the ancient concepts of heroism and the statesman.

TRANSCENDING SUBJECTS: HEGEL AFTER AUGUSTINE, AN ESSAY ON POLITICAL THEOLOGY Geoffrey J. D. Holsclaw, B.A., M.Div. Marquette University, 2013 From where do political reformers and radicals come who are willing and prepared to challenge the status quo? Where are people formed who are capable of initiating change within a political system? Some worry belief in transcendence closes off authentic political engagement and processes of transformation. Others think that a transcendent orientation is the only means to protect and promote a more free and just society. Some see a positive commitment to transcendence as inimical to democratic practices, while others see such a commitment as indispensible for such a project. These general issues concern transcendence, immanence, and subjectivity as they bear on the question of political transformation. Explaining the differences between these fundamental orientations prompts an investigation of the philosophical and theological systems of Hegel and Augustine. Examining Hegel and Augustine around the issues of transcendence and freedom offers a way to understand these more localized disagreements between political philosophers and theologians, and even between theologians. This dissertation examines Hegel, because after the recent demise of Kantian liberalism in the forms of Rawls and Habermas, many are returning to Hegel as the original critic of Kantian philosophy specifically, and of Enlightenment secularism generally. This return to Hegel has produced a larger amount of research that dislodges the easily caricaturized Hegel of dialectical monism and political conservativism, creating the possibility of a more positive deployment of Hegel within philosophy and politics. Concerning Augustine, in one sense his theology is perennial for theology, whether accepted or rejected. But in addition to this, just as with Hegel many are beginning to question the received Augustine, mining his texts within his own cultural and theological milieu rather than merely as the beginning of supposedly unfavorable theological developments. The time is ripe for an engagement between these two stalwarts of theology and philosophy in order to illuminate the similarities and differences and make clear their contemporary relevancy. This dissertations will argue that Hegel best represents a philosophy of ‘selftranscending immanence’ that promotes freedom by standing in opposition to transcendence, and that Augustine best respresents a theology of ‘self-immanenting transcendence’ as the only possible hope for the true freedom.
