Diálogo sobre o papel jurídico do estado a partir da visão do filósofo Herman Dooyeweerd

Abstract

Amidst diverse ideas about the State, philosopher Herman Dooyeweerd presents his theory about the function of the State based on his cosmonomic philosophy. The present work aims to present the broad thinking of this philosopher, showing the origins of his thought to the basic points of his theory. Firstly, an analysis of Dooyeweerd's past, his achievements, written works and influences from philosophers and movements that took place in his life is carried out. Together, the basic ideas for understanding this philosopher are covered, mainly focusing on his modal theory of reality, which brings light to all of his writings. Together, the main reasons that influenced the thinking of each era in Western society are analyzed, which will provide direction for the dialogues with other philosophers that are developed throughout the work. In the second moment, Dooyeweerd's thoughts about the State will be analyzed, dealing with issues such as fundamental rights, justice, laws and law. This part will demonstrate how freedom, morality and well-being are key points in the development of the Dutch philosopher's theory. Therefore, a dialogue between Dooyeweerd and contractualist philosophers is carried out, showing points of divergence and infringement with the authors of this movement that influence academic thought to this day. At this point, the thoughts of each philosopher, their influences and practical political ideas will be shown in order to reach a broad dialogue with Dooyeweerd.
