The Poorest Country In The World: Critiquing U.S. Culture Through Relational Cultural Theory And The Saints., Molly Neton
The Poorest Country In The World: Critiquing U.S. Culture Through Relational Cultural Theory And The Saints., Molly Neton
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
In this thesis I critique the American socioeconomic system and culture through a multidisciplinary lens. Using the works of philosopher Karl Marx, economist Robin Kimmerer, and forensic psychologist Christopher Williams, I argue that there are three interconnected characteristics of our socioeconomic system that disincentivize us from creating growth-fostering relationships. These characteristics are the encouragement of overconsumption, the prevalence of hyperindividualism, and that people are valued for what they produce, not who they are. To counteract these characteristics, we must fight to create a Culture of Encounter, which is a culture with a radical dedication to seeing, hearing, and loving individual …
Beast Or God: Philosophical Exclusion Of Disability And Disabled Voices, Ellie Alsup
Beast Or God: Philosophical Exclusion Of Disability And Disabled Voices, Ellie Alsup
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
In philosophy, our goal is to ultimately discover what it is to be human. How do we exist in our world, and how should we exist? Throughout history, philosophers have been attempting to answer these questions in any way possible. Well, almost. Unfortunately, marginalized voices -- such as those with disabilities -- have been excluded from the conversation in a way that minimizes and undermines any answers provided. Philosophers such as Descartes make the argument that human existence is purely in the mind, and that we can separate ourselves from our bodies; many disabled philosophers would disagree. Disability studies finds …

Neurons And Narratives: Living In A Wittgensteinian World, Corey Hill Allen
Neurons And Narratives: Living In A Wittgensteinian World, Corey Hill Allen
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
My thesis explores the running narratives that are present within the mind, prodding at whether or not there is any significant difference between this consciousness and a fictional narrative that we read in a book. Within this exploration I look into the implications behind being conveyed as a linguistic construct and the inherent constricting violence that is present in the symbolization that is language. Following this analysis, I provide a Nietzschean reading of the ethical implications that we face if we are to take the notion of violent language seriously and how we as people are to meet and react …
Techniques To Promote Active Learners In Introductory Philosophy Courses: A Curriculum For A Philosophy 101 Course, David R. Des Armier Jr.
Techniques To Promote Active Learners In Introductory Philosophy Courses: A Curriculum For A Philosophy 101 Course, David R. Des Armier Jr.
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
In this research project, the author presents a curriculum for a Philosophy 101 college course that implements active learning techniques to enhance and motivate student learning. Teaching introductory philosophy is a difficult task due to the intricate nature of the subject matter. Teachers must discover instructional strategies that transmit philosophical knowledge more effectively beyond the employment of traditional teaching methods, such as a lecture, to their students. Based on this author's research, active learning methods can provide an effective instructional technique for those who teach introductory philosophy courses. The curriculum in Chapter 4 provides a framework for teachers to implement …
Abdicating The Philosopher King: A Look At The Critical Thinking For The Everyman, Jacqueline D. Silverman
Abdicating The Philosopher King: A Look At The Critical Thinking For The Everyman, Jacqueline D. Silverman
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
As a student of philosophy, and a would-be philosopher myself, it pains me to understand my passion as useless in the eyes of the greater community. People regard philosophy as a self-righteous, circuitous, never ending debate over semantics reserved solely for old, white, male academics and arm-chair thinkers. It pains me to understand philosophy, one of the oldest (and formerly, most revered) subjects of study, currently cast aside as a frippery. Thus, I have found a deep, and what I believe, noble quest. I shall ride in to save my love, my damsel in despair, from this post-modern dragon, and …
The Relationship Between Physics And The West's Philosophy Of God, David Vranicar
The Relationship Between Physics And The West's Philosophy Of God, David Vranicar
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
This thesis will explore the impact that scientific theories - particularly those in the field of physics - have had on prevailing philosophies of God, and illustrate that science and philosophy are not wholly separate, unrelated fields. Some of the most influential philosophical assertions about God have indeed been shaped by ideas that originated in science. Thomas Aquinas' view of God, as well as the proofs that he offered for God's existence, are laden with ideas about the physical structure and phenomena of nature. So, too, do the philosophical writings of Isaac Newton, Rene Descartes, and other Enlightenment thinkers invoke …
Stirring The Pot: Toward A Physical Reduction Of Mental Events, Dylan Jacoby
Stirring The Pot: Toward A Physical Reduction Of Mental Events, Dylan Jacoby
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Of the perennial issues that philosophers argue over, few have been quite as perennial as the problem of the Mind. The nature of the debate often comes in two flavors. One style, well call it the dualist concoction, states that there is a fundamental difference between what we call the mind and what we call the body. The body, appropriately, is the physical vessel which carries us through this world and allows us to interact with it. However, that which guides the body and the "thinking" part of it, the mind, is something that is at once highly complex and …
