    A questão da forma na estética de Luigi Pareyson.Íris Fátima da Silva Uribe - 2020 - Hybris, Revista de Filosofí­A 11 (2):45-65.
    A foundational question in Luigi Pareyson Aesthetics is the ontological character of the formant form. This character is based on the following principle: the ontology of the formant form is in the action of inventiveness and is not in a static state. For the philosopher of formativity it is in this creative, ontological, persevering action that the artist invents the way of doing, unique in the formant form. This unique way of doing makes the (...)

    Formes narratives de l’action et dangers de dérives en narratologie.Raphaël Baroni - 2005 - Semiotica 2005 (157):49-64.
    Cet article vise à définir précisément la forme que prend l’action quand elle fait l’objet d’une mise en intrigue par un récit, de manière à éviter certaines dérives dans l’interprétation du phénoméne de la narrativité et de sa fonction anthropologique. Deux formes de dérives ou de réductionnisme sont d’abord envisagées : d’une part, la narratologie structuraliste a eu tendance à analyser de manière autonome les structures actionnelles formant la ‘fable’ des récits, ce qui l’a amenée à perdre de vue (...)

    Eogenesis — the origin of animal forms.Austin H. Clark - 1937 - Acta Biotheoretica 3 (3):181-194.
    Alle Formen von Leben entstanden aus der primitiven Zelle, betrachtet eher als eine Art denn als ein Individuum, welches die Fähigkeit für ununterbrochene Selbst-Teilung besass. Fortgesetzte Vermehrung der Zellen mag eins von drei verschiedenen Verfahren folgen: 1. Die zwei Zellen von jeder Teilung hervorgehend, mögen sich vollständig von einander trennen; diese Linie der Entwicklung der primitiven Zelle rief die Protozoa hervor. 2. Während die Zellen sich teilen, mögen sie mehr oder weniger unregelmässig zusammen hängen. Diese Linie rief die Porifera hervor. (...)

    Współczesne poszukiwania "form bardziej pojemnych".Barbara Bogołębska - 2001 - Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Litteraria Polonica 4:187-195.
    Les genres littéraires et paralitteraires, se formant á nos jours, se pénélrent. Cela résulte de la crise des formes qui déjá existent. Cet article analyse les textes de Cz. Miłosz, R. Kapuściński, J. M. Rymkiewicz et J. Twardowski, dont le trait commun est le genre des silves et les techniques de collage. Ces oeuvres sont représentatifs pour ce qu’on apelle la «nouvelle génologie».

    Zwischen scylla und charybdis.Adolf Meyer - 1936 - Acta Biotheoretica 1 (3):203-218.
    In comparing it with the mechanistic and vitalistic views, the author seeks to make clear the nature of holistic causality, referring toDonnan's equations as an example.Holistic causality is essentially dimensional simplification. A complex system which forms a whole must be described in the first instance autonomo-phenomenologically, and if possible mathematically. Thereafter it is simplified into other wholes of less dimensionality, through progressive elimination of its higher dimensions, and so on until there remain over constituents no longer showing „wholeness”. These are (...)

    The plastic of clothing and the construction of visual communication and interaction: a semiotic examination of the eighteenth-century French dress.Marilia Jardim - 2021 - Semiotica 2021 (242):17-37.
    The article presents an account of the visual relations created by garments through their plastic formants, examining the role played by form, material, and composition in creating body hierarchies that produce prescribed behaviors between different subjects. The work dissects the concept of thematic role from Greimasian theory, investigating the manners in which an eighteenth-century wedding dress presents the chaining of programs governing materials, garments, and the body in the production of narrative interactions between subjects. The work utilizes a combination (...)

    How to Protect Traditional Folk Music? Some Reflections upon Traditional Knowledge and Copyright Law.Giovanna Carugno - 2018 - International Journal for the Semiotics of Law - Revue Internationale de Sémiotique Juridique 31 (2):261-274.
    Traditional folk music refers to customary songs and tunes played since time immemorial in a specific area. As an expression of culture and identity, this kind of music can be deemed as the heritage of the local community in its entirety, and derives from musical practices transmitted orally and repeated over a long period of time by a group of people, who, in so doing, keep their traditions alive. From this point of view, the owner of traditional folk music is (...)

    Le peuple contre l’État? Les deux logiques du Contrat social.Francesco Toto - 2021 - Les Etudes Philosophiques 138 (3):87-122.
    Cet article s’intéresse au Contrat social de Rousseau afin d’examiner si cet ouvrage permet de penser une révolte populaire contre l’État et, si oui, à quelles conditions. Dans cette perspective, nous nous concentrons principalement sur quelques détails apparemment marginaux : l’oscillation, par exemple, entre une conception de la « crise » comme occasion de régénération ou de renaissance de l’État ; l’hésitation entre une conception des mœurs et des coutumes comme formant le cœur de la législation et qui garantit (...)

  11. L’esthétique est née de la rétrogradation (relative) du beau. Contribution à la connaissance de l’œuvre philosophique de Lord Shaftesbury.Dominique Chateau - 2024 - Nouvelle Revue d'Esthétique 33 (1):149-161.
    Shaftesbury, dès la charnière du xvii e et du xviii e siècle, a anticipé diverses théories ensuite réputées plus ou moins inédites ou novatrices. Notamment, par la prise en compte, au sein d’une théorie du beau d’inspiration antique soutenue par une philosophie de la nature néo-platonicienne, des anomalies naturelles, des spectacles grandioses, des formations monstrueuses. S’y ajoute une théorie de la forme formée/formante qui anticipe la théorie de la formativité de Luigi Pareyson.

    Les deux souches de la métaphysique chez Aristote et Platon.Jean-François Mattéi - 2000 - Philosophique 3:3-18.
    Cet article s'interroge sur l'origine des quatre causes d'Aristote (formelle, matérielle, efficiente, finale), c'est-à-dire sur le coeur de la métaphysique. En effet pourquoi y a-t-il quatre causes? Qu'est-ce qui fait leur communauté et leur « systématicité »? Dans un premier temps, l'auteur montre que le système des quatre causes est articulé par deux couples d'opposition formant deux schèmes de la causalité : d'une part le couple cause formelle/cause matérielle, statique, qui renvoie à une causalité analytique (schème rationnel) ; d'autre (...)

    Semantics of literary-textual sources in polyphonic works for a cappella chorus by the Russian composers of the late XX – early XXI centuries.Natalya Vladimirovna Koshkareva - 2022 - Философия И Культура 2:26-34.
    This article aims to determine a close "polyphonic" connection between lyrics and music in choral music. The subject of this research is the synergism of literary-textual sources and polyphonic form. The object of this research is the consideration of polyphonic works for a cappella chorus by the contemporary Russian composers. Using the synthesis of research methods, which includes musicology, poetics and choral studies, the author reveals the parameters of a musical composition: literary-textual source and musical form. Detailed analysis (...)

    Les racines du négationnisme en France.Henry Rousso - 2009 - Cités 36 (4):51-62.
    Le XXe siècle a produit les formes les plus radicales du mal en politique, poussant à un degré inédit dans l’Histoire la négation de l’humanité de certains groupes, qui a conduit à la perpétration des plus grands crimes de masse jamais commis. Par un paradoxe apparent, il a produit également des formes inédites de négation du crime, constituées en véritables idéologies, formant..

    La méthode de simplification complexive et l’unité des sciences.G. Malfitano, A. Bollengier & A. Honnelaitre - 1937 - Travaux du IXe Congrès International de Philosophie 4:159-165.
    Le Programme de cе Congrès, pour unifier la diversité des communications, propose six problèmes et six thèmes, formant un tout cohérent. Tout ensemble compliqué, étant dénombré, est réductible en un complexe qui d’autant mieux qu’il est plus ordonné, forme une simple unité.

    Les souris d’Ashdod, le dieu Dagôn et l’Apollon Smintheus.Christophe Nihan - 2023 - Revue de Théologie Et de Philosophie 154 (4):425-442.
    Cette étude a pour objet la mention – très inhabituelle – d’images de « souris » parmi le tribut des Philistins accompagnant le retour de l’arche dans le récit de 1 Samuel 5-6. Sur la base d’une comparaison entre les principaux témoins anciens du texte de Samuel, on argumente ici que cette mention reflète une série d’interprétations successives, à l’intérieur desquelles on peut distinguer (au moins) trois étapes. À l’origine, la mention de souris semble relever d’une glose scribale, ayant pour (...)

    Reflections on the Principles of Remoteness in Contract in Comparative Law.Katy Barnett - 2024 - International Journal for the Semiotics of Law - Revue Internationale de Sémiotique Juridique 37 (5):1587-1616.
    This paper traces the history of remoteness in contract law, namely the legal formants (in Rodolfo Sacco’s terms) constraining the availability of contract damages in various legal systems. Our journey takes us through different times, continents and cultures, from the eighteenth century to the twenty–first century, across the law of France, United States, England and Wales, India and Australia, among other jurisdictions. While it might seem that civilian and common law traditions have very different morphological legal forms, once a closer (...)

    "Veni Sancte Spiritus" by Alexander Vustin: on the problem of updating the technique of writing on cantus firmus in modern choral composition.Natalya Vladimirovna Koshkareva - 2022 - Философия И Культура 4:41-49.
    The purpose of this article is to identify a close, "polyphonic" connection, consolidation of ancient forms and techniques of compositional writing of the twentieth century. The subject of the study is the choral creativity of Alexander Vustin. The object of the study is the consideration of polyphonic works of techniques in A. Vustin's composition "Veni Sancte Spiritus". The musical language of A. Vustin is characterized by extreme restraint, depth, semantic concentration. The appeal to ancient polyphonic genres, forms and techniques of (...)

    (2 other versions)The “organization centre”.P. D. Nieuwkoop - 1962 - Acta Biotheoretica 16 (1):57-68.
    Experimental evidence strongly supports the view that the subdivision of organ anlagen into smaller structural units is an autonomous process. Dalcq &Pasteels' hypothesis which says that the boundaries between the different areas into which a morphogenetic field differentiates are determined by “Threshold values” in the “potential” of the field in question, is inconsistent with our present knowledge of biochemical reaction systems. Threshold values may only be used indescribing the spatial differentiation of a morphogenetic field. It is suggested that the latter (...)

Examples of ecospecies are discussed and the following new definitions are proposed: Groups with the same chromosome number between which there are well-defined morphological, ecological and geographical differences and which, under artifical or natural conditions are capable of only limited gene-exchange. Groups with different chromosome numbers between which there are well-defined ecological and geographical differences and which are capable of only limited gene-exchange.

    Form and meaning in music: Revisiting the affective character of the major and minor modes.Timothy Justus, Laura Gabriel & Adela Pfaff - 2018 - Auditory Perception and Cognition 1 (3–4):229–247.
    Musical systems develop associations over time between aspects of musical form and concepts from outside of the music. Experienced listeners internalize these connotations, such that the formal elements bring to mind their extra-musical meanings. An example of musical form-meaning mapping is the association that Western listeners have between the major and minor modes and happiness and sadness, respectively. We revisit the emotional semantics of musical mode in a study of 44 American participants (musicians and non-musicians) who each evaluated (...)

    This inaugural lecture, delivered on 17 November 2021 at the University of Neuchâtel, addresses the question: Are material objects analyzable into more basic constituents and, if so, what are they? It might appear that this question is more appropriately settled by empirical means as utilized in the natural sciences. For example, we learn from physics and chemistry that water is composed of H2O-molecules and that hydrogen and oxygen atoms themselves are composed of smaller parts, such as protons, which are in (...)

    The Content of the Form.Hayden White - 1987 - Baltimore: Johns Hopkins.
    Hayden White probes the notion of authority in art and literature and examines the problems of meaning - its production, distribution, and consumption - in different historical epochs. In the end, he suggests, the only meaning that history can have is the kind that a narrative imagination gives to it. The secret of the process by which consciousness invests history with meaning resides in the content of the form, in the way our narrative capacities transforms the present into a (...)

    It is argued, on the basis of ideas derived from Wittgenstein's Tractatus and Husserl's Logical Investigations, that the formal comprehends more than the logical. More specifically: that there exist certain formal-ontological constants (part, whole, overlapping, etc.) which do not fall within the province of logic. A two-dimensional directly depicting language is developed for the representation of the constants of formal ontology, and means are provided for the extension of this language to enable the representation of certain materially necessary relations.

    Political Form in Paul Celan.Beau Shaw - 2020 - Epoché: A Journal for the History of Philosophy 25 (1):185-205.
    Paul Celan’s “Tenebrae” is a scandalous poem: it describes how “unity with the dying Jesus” is achieved by means of the Jewish experience of the concentration camps. In this paper, I provide a new interpretation of “Tenebrae” that breaks from the two traditional ways in which the poem has been viewed—on the one hand, as a Christian poem that suggests that Jesus, insofar as he suffers just like Jewish concentration camp victims do, can provide “hope and redemption for the faithful”, (...)

Zum anderen deutet der Ausdruck darauf hin, dass die Freiheit ein ihr eigenes Leben besitzen mag. In diesem doppelten Genitiv wird so ein Übergang angedeutet von der Freiheit, die dem Leben als solchem zukommt, zu dem eigenen Leben, das die Freiheit führt.

    Prenex normal form theorems in semi-classical arithmetic.Makoto Fujiwara & Taishi Kurahashi - 2021 - Journal of Symbolic Logic 86 (3):1124-1153.
    Akama et al. [1] systematically studied an arithmetical hierarchy of the law of excluded middle and related principles in the context of first-order arithmetic. In that paper, they first provide a prenex normal form theorem as a justification of their semi-classical principles restricted to prenex formulas. However, there are some errors in their proof. In this paper, we provide a simple counterexample of their prenex normal form theorem [1, Theorem 2.7], then modify it in an appropriate way which (...)

    On time, memory and dynamic form.Stephen E. Robbins - 2004 - Consciousness and Cognition 13 (4):762-788.
    A common approach to explaining the perception of form is through the use of static features. The weakness of this approach points naturally to dynamic definitions of form. Considering dynamical form, however, leads inevitably to the need to explain how events are perceived as time-extended—a problem with primacy over that even of qualia. Optic flow models, energy models, models reliant on a rigidity constraint are examined. The reliance of these models on the instantaneous specification of form (...)

    Mechanistic Images in Geometric Form: Heinrich Hertz's 'Principles of Mechanics'.Jesper Lützen - 2005 - Oxford University Press UK.
    This book gives an analysis of Hertz's posthumously published Principles of Mechanics in its philosophical, physical and mathematical context. In a period of heated debates about the true foundation of physical sciences, Hertz's book was conceived and highly regarded as an original and rigorous foundation for a mechanistic research program. Insisting that a law-like account of nature would require hypothetical unobservables, Hertz viewed physical theories as images of the world rather than the true design behind the phenomena. This paved the (...)

  50. Matter, form, and individuation.Jeffrey E. Brower - 2011 - In Brian Davies & Eleonore Stump (eds.), The Oxford handbook of Aquinas. New York: Oxford University Press. pp. 85-103.
    Few notions are more central to Aquinas’s thought than those of matter and form. Although he invokes these notions in a number of different contexts, and puts them to a number of different uses, he always assumes that in their primary or basic sense they are correlative both with each other and with the notion of a “hylomorphic compound”—that is, a compound of matter (hyle) and form (morphe). Thus, matter is an entity that can have form, (...) is an entity that can be had by matter, and a hylomorphic compound is an entity that exists when the potentiality of some matter to have form is actualized.1 What is more, Aquinas assumes that the matter of a hylomorphic compound explains certain of its general characteristics, whereas its form explains certain of its more specific characteristics. Thus, the matter of a bronze statue explains the fact that it is bronze, whereas its form explains the fact that it is a statue. Again, the matter of a human being explains the fact that it is a material object, whereas its form explains the specific type of material object it is (namely, human). My aim in this chapter is to provide a systematic introduction to Aquinas’s primary or basic notions of matter and form. To accomplish this aim, I focus on the two main theoretical contexts in which he deploys them—namely, his theory of change and his theory of individuation. In both contexts, as we shall see, Aquinas appeals to matter and form to account for relations of sameness and difference holding between distinct individuals. (shrink)
