Será a justiça a maior virtude das instituições políticas? João Pereira Coutinho e Manuel Cardoso analisam à lupa várias conceções de justiça, defendidas por diferentes autores, e refletem sobre o papel da política na construção de uma sociedade justa.A justiça é um produto do poder soberano, como defendeu Thomas Hobbes, ou um princípio anterior ao Estado, como acreditava John Locke? Platão, que dedicou ao tema «A República», considerava a democracia um sistema político injusto, à luz da sua teoria da alma.A propósito da eterna tensão entre liberdade e igualdade, a dupla chega até ao séc. XX e à proposta de 'justiça como equidade', de John Rawls.Debate-se ainda a meritocracia, pela lente de Michael Sandel, bem como o papel da sorte e das contingências da vida no valor da conduta humana, de acordo com Martha Nussbaum.Para terminar, uma pergunta: será que deixamos um mundo justo às gerações futuras?Um episódio [IN]Pertinente, a não perder.REFERÊNCIAS ÚTEISBIGGAR, Nigel, «Reparations: Slavery and the Tyranny of Imaginary Guilt» (Forum)HOBBES, «Leviatã» (BookBuilders)LOCKE, «Dois Tratados do Governo Civil» (Ed. 70)NOZICK, Robert, «Anarquia, Estado e Utopia» (Ed. 70)NUSSBAUM, Martha, «The Fragility of Goodness: Luck And Ethics In Greek Tragedy And Philosophy» (C.U.P.)PLATÃO, «A República» (Gulbenkian)RAWLS, John, «Uma Teoria da Justiça» (Presença)SANDEL, Michael, «Justiça - Fazemos o que Devemos?» (Presença)SANDEL, Michael, «A Tirania do Mérito» (Presença)SEN, Amartya, «A Ideia de Justiça» (Almedina)WHITE, Jonathan, «In the Long Run: The Future as a Political Idea» (Profile)BIOSMANUEL CARDOSOÉ humorista e um dos autores do programa de sátira política «Isto É Gozar Com Quem Trabalha», da SIC.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 4, 2025 is: spontaneous • spahn-TAY-nee-us • adjective Spontaneous describes something that is done or said in a natural and often sudden way and without a lot of thought or planning. It can describe a person who does things that have not been planned but that seem enjoyable and worth doing at a particular time. // The kitten captured our hearts, and we made the spontaneous decision to adopt. // He's a fun and spontaneous guy, always ready for the next big adventure. See the entry > Examples: "The Harlem Renaissance was filled with poetry and song—and with performance, as enshrined in [filmmaker William] Greaves's footage which features many spontaneous, thrillingly theatrical recitations of poems by Bontemps, Hughes, Cullen, and McKay." — Richard Brody, The New Yorker, 23 Sept. 2025 Did you know? When English philosopher Thomas Hobbes penned his 1654 treatise Of Libertie and Necessitie he included the following: "all voluntary actions … are called also spontaneous, and said to be done by a man's own accord." Hobbes was writing in English, but he knew Latin perfectly well too, including the source of spontaneous; the word comes (via Late Latin spontāneus, meaning "voluntary, unconstrained") from the Latin sponte, meaning "of one's free will, voluntarily." In modern use, the word spontaneous is frequently heard in more mundane settings, where it often describes what is done or said without a lot of thought or planning.

Closereads: Philosophy with Mark and Wes

On Leviathan (1651), ch. 21, "On the Liberty of Subjects." Thomas Hobbes is known for defending absolute monarchy, so as you'd predict, he's not going to say we have a lot of "natural" liberties. We do always have the right to self-defense, but that doesn't mean that the sovereign can't with complete justice command you executed (even if you're innocent). Yet Hobbes wants to say that even under a repressive regime we all have lots of liberty, in the sense of no one physically stopping us from doing what we will. And he wants to dismiss as unintelligible any other sense of liberty tied to non-physical obstacles, so this entirely rules out any debate about free will.

A história da humanidade é marcada por momentos em que o medo — e não a esperança — se torna a força organizadora da sociedade. Um desses momentos foi vivido por Thomas Hobbes, pensador inglês do século XVII, ao observar as consequências devastadoras da guerra civil, da desintegração da autoridade e da violência sectária. Sua conclusão foi radical: para evitar o colapso, é necessário um poder absoluto, incontestável, que concentre autoridade e controle. Esse poder ele chamou de Leviatã. O Leviatã de Hobbes é o símbolo da autoridade centralizada. Ele representa a submissão do indivíduo em troca de segurança, estabilidade e ordem. Hobbes rejeita a liberdade sem freio, rejeita a multiplicidade de vozes e vê o Estado forte como salvador diante do caos. O que acontece, porém, quando essa visão política é transposta para dentro da igreja? Quando o medo do erro, da heresia, do desvio, leva a comunidade de fé a clamar por um Leviatã eclesiástico? Este episódio examina essas questões a partir da realidade da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia, que vive entre a tensão da representatividade espiritual e a tentação da centralização autoritária.

Bitcoin, basit bir devrimden öte, mesihvari bir güç olarak ortaya çıkıyor. Hiçbir yasanın başaramadığını başararak, aracısız, gerçekten özgür bir zenginlik biçimi yarattı. Bu, devletin sonsuz şiddetinin bile ötesine geçen bir güçtür. İtibari paranın teolojik fethi ve devletin parasal sisteminin yok oluşuyla, Bitcoin, şiddet olmadan hukukun yerini alabilecek bir ortak refah biçimi olduğunu kanıtlıyor. Devlet ile para arasındaki ilişkiyi kökten koparıyor.Bitcoin, insanlığı köleleştiren yozlaşmış devlet ve itibari para düzenini yıkma gücüne sahip. Kriptografinin sunduğu sarsılmaz egemenlik sayesinde, yeni bir tür dijital ortak hukuk ve ekonomik örgütlenme mümkün hale geliyor. Bu, hiçbir ulus devlete bağlı olmayan, etik bir zenginlik ortaklığına dayalı küresel bir hareketi tetikledi.Satoshi'nin dehası, Bitcoin'i yalnızca koda olan mutlak bağlılığıyla, gerçek ve adil bir ekonomik sistem olarak inşa etti. İş kanıtı mekanizması, sistemin egemenliğini ve güvenliğini sürekli olarak garanti eder. Bu teknoloji, insanlığın tarihteki en büyük sorunlarından biri olan yasalara olan bağlılığın sürdürülemezliğini makine aracılığıyla aşıyor.Thomas Hobbes'un dediği gibi, bireylerin kendini koruma hakkı devlete devredilemez. Bitcoin, bu doğal hakkı koruyarak, paranın tam özgürlüğünü ve devletten ayrılmasını savunan yeni bir teolojik dava sunuyor. Satoshi Nakamoto, sistemini yarattıktan sonra geri çekilerek, yıkıcı bir güç sergiledi ve yasanın siber uzaya girişini engelledi. Bu eylemle, paranın ve devlet kapitalizminin sahte tanrısının iktidar makinesini bozdu ve yasasız bir dünyanın mesihvari olasılığını açtı.Bu podcast serisi, Bitcoin'in devletin ekonomik kontrolünü kırma potansiyelini ve insanlığı borç zincirlerinden ve devletin panoptik aygıtından kurtarma yolunu derinlemesine inceliyor. "Tanrı Yok, Efendi Yok" felsefesiyle, Bitcoin bize özgürlüğümüzü geri kazanma aracı ve yeni bir dünya düzeni ("novus ordo seclorum") inşa etme vaadi sunuyor. Kriptografi teolojisiyle egemenliğini kanıtlayan Bitcoin, yalnızca matematiksel kanıtlara dayanan bir Spinoza Tanrısı dışında hiçbir otoritenin boyunduruğunu reddediyor. Bu bir savaş, zenginliğin kimin kontrolünde olacağına dair bir mücadele, ve Bitcoin bu mücadelede bize nihai özgürlük silahını veriyor.Kaynak

His friend the great scholar Desiderius Erasmus referred to Thomas More as “a Man for all seasons.” But which season? Or which Thomas More? Is he an advocate of conscience? A heroic defender of the Catholic faith? A saintly martyr? A fanatical zealot unwilling to listen to cool reason? An amateur inquisitor who lit the night with burning Lutherans and their books, and enjoyed little more than coming home after work for a torture session? Does every era get the Thomas More that it deserves?Thomas More was indeed a man of many twists and turns, a Tudor Odysseus. A Londoner; the grandson of a baker and son of a lawyer; a page in a noble household; an exceptional prose stylist, in Latin or English; a lawyer of exceptional diligence and skill; a guild member; a religious controversialist, able to match Martin Luther in scatology; a subtle humanist of European-wide fame; a poet; a politician; a bureaucrat; a royal advisor; a confessor of the faith; a prisoner; and a martyr. He was all those things, and more besides. With me to talk about the life and times of Thomas More is Joanne Paul, Associate Professor in Early Modern History at the University of Sussex. Her research focuses on the intellectual and cultural history of the Renaissance and Early Modern periods, written widely on Thomas More, William Shakespeare, Machiavelli and Thomas Hobbes. Her most recent book is Thomas More: A Life, which is the subject of our conversation today.For Further Investigation The web page of Joanne PaulThomas More: A LifeThe last time we talked about the Tudors on Historically ThinkingAnd the book we talked about with its author, Lucy E.C.

rWotD Episode 2968: Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Thursday, 19 June 2025, is Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus.Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus (Latin, 'An Anatomical Exercise on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Living Beings'), commonly called De Motu Cordis, is the best-known work of the physician William Harvey, which was first published in 1628 and established the circulation of blood throughout the body. It is a landmark in the history of physiology, with Harvey combining observations, experiments, measurements, and hypotheses in an extraordinary fashion to arrive at his doctrine. His work is a model of its kind and had an immediate and far-reaching influence on Harvey's contemporaries; Thomas Hobbes said that Harvey was the only modern author whose doctrines were taught in his lifetime.In De motu cordis, Harvey investigated the effect of ligatures on blood flow. The book also argued that blood was pumped around the body in a "double circulation", where after being returned to the heart, it is recirculated in a closed system to the lungs and back to the heart, where it is returned to the main circulation.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:29 UTC on Thursday, 19 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ruth.

The fate of Jerusalem has been inextricably intertwined with that of Rome ever since they joined in unholy alliance to reject and crucify the Lord of glory (Acts 2:23; 1 Corinthians 2:8). That uneasy partnership was shattered with Jerusalem's destruction by Rome's legions in AD 70, foretold both by Daniel (9:26) and Jesus (Matthew 24:2). The Roman Empire must be revived, for one day its armies will belong to Daniel's "prince that shall come"—i.e., Antichrist––and will seek to destroy Jerusalem again.The woman in Revelation 17 can only be Rome/Vatican City. No other city built on seven hills wields such authority, exchanging ambassadors with nations. Nor does any other city claim to represent Christ, and thus no other could stand accused of spiritual fornication due to unholy alliances with earth's rulers. Neither can any other city rival the blood of both Jews and Christians which pagan Rome and later the Vatican have shed. Thomas Hobbes perceptively said, "The Papacy is...the ghost of the deceased Roman Empire, sitting crowned upon the grave thereof."

Can one person change the world?That is the question at the end of the tractate Sanhedrin. The word "Sanhedrin" means the supreme judicial, civic, legal, religious authority in ancient Israel. The Talmudic tractate Sanhedrin is about justice-the human beings, institutions, procedures and protocols, evidentiary rules, safeguards, that enable human beings to create and sustain a just society.Because justice in this world is so elusive, Sanhedrin's final chapter deals with other-worldly matters of the world to come (olam ha'ba) and the resurrection of the dead (techiyat hameitim). If we do not get justice in this world, perhaps we might get it in the next. Impossible to prove or disprove concepts like the world to come and resurrection of the dead might be a consolation for those living in a current reality that is, as Thomas Hobbes put it, "nasty, brutish and short."Justice is so urgent. Justice is so hard. Sometimes we fail. Which leads to the last question of this tractate: Can one person change the world? Not can one person change his or her own world? Rather, can one person change the world?Sanhedrin's answer to its own question is complex. It seems to answer that question yes. But the person it talks about right before the boffo end is none other than the prophet Elijah, who famously makes his appearance at the end of our seders. Everything about Elijah is ambiguous, which the tractate itself will bring out and highlight.On the eve of Passover, we will consider Sanhedrin's question of the power of an individual to change the world by examining the complicated figure of Elijah. The subtext question in our conversation: Do you believe you can, or that you cannot, change the world?

The boys drink and review a pilsner, then discuss the English philosopher, Thomas Hobbes.Hobbes is best known for his characterization of life in the state of nature as "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."Pigweed sets the historical context with some dates and the very consequential events that occurred during Hobbes' life -- including the English civil war, the execution of Charles I, and the restoration.Hobbes wanted to know who gets to rule, under what circumstances, and within what limits. He starts by reflecting on human nature, which he says is a horrific state of war where people live in a constant state of fear. People can make agreements with their neighbors, but Hobbes says there's a need for a sovereign who makes sure people keep their agreements.In Hobbes's mind, the state of nature is so awful that any sovereign, no matter how awful, no matter how tyrannical, is better.

In this episode, Tanner answers a listener question from Wyatt Bennett: “What does Stoicism say about human nature? Are humans naturally selfish?” Exploring this through the Stoic concept of Oikeiôsis and the Circles of Concern, Tanner explains how our understanding of responsibilities expands as we mature. Starting from self-concern in infancy, we grow to care for family, friends, community, humanity, and even the planet. Tanner challenges Thomas Hobbes' pessimistic view of human nature, offering a Stoic perspective that emphasizes the dynamic and evolving nature of human rationality and moral growth. TAKEAWAYS Stoicism sees human nature as dynamic, with our rational and moral concerns expanding over time. Self-concern in early life is natural but not permanent; growth involves widening our circles of responsibility. Nature's alignment isn't always pleasurable for individuals but serves a greater universal purpose.
