Philosophy And The Environmental Crisis: Foundation For A New Technological Paradigm, David M. Rice
Philosophy And The Environmental Crisis: Foundation For A New Technological Paradigm, David M. Rice
Senior Scholar Papers
This work is meant to provide an analysis of some of the basic philosophical considerations which will have to be made in order to effect the favorable resolution of an environmental crisis. I begin by defining what I mean by "environmental crisis" and what the evidence for the existence of such a crisis seems to be, though I draw no conclusions here. I examine also the concept of the "technological myth," that is, the belief that all human problems can be solved by increased technology alone. The main thesis of the work is the need for a new "technological paradigm." …
Synoptic Problem : An Investigation Of Synoptic Relationships, George Capone
Synoptic Problem : An Investigation Of Synoptic Relationships, George Capone
Senior Scholar Papers
In recent years, the Synoptic Problem has become an important focus of New Testament scholarship. The Two-Document Hypothesis, although still widely accepted as the solution, has recently been challenged by a variety of source hypotheses, most notably the Griesbach hypothesis. In effect, the Synoptic Problem has become an open question for an increasing number of scholars. This project analyzes four significant pericopae, the Empty Tomb Tradition, the Kingdom Parables Discourse, the Synoptic Apocalypse, and the Transfiguration Narrative, in an attempt to determine priority and dependence among the synoptic Gospels. The study does not presuppose a particular source theory, although it …

Senior Scholar Papers
The nature of this project had changed a good deal since it began. Since the changes in its form are largely reflections of the problem dealt with, it should be of some value to recount them here. In the beginning, the project was to be a comparison between phenomenology and existentialism, and contemporary analytic philosophy, The purpose of the comparison was to find common views between the two schools which have been thought to be conceptually opposite. The school of phenomenology, which is the philosophic theory used by the more literary existentialists. Research then, was centered on Husserl, who is …
Ethics In A Capitalistic Society, Stanley I. Garnett
Ethics In A Capitalistic Society, Stanley I. Garnett
Senior Scholar Papers
The problem of semantics is inherent in any discussion of ethics. The general term "ethics" is itself commonly confused. In addition, systems of ethics must be built upon assumptions, and assumptions are necessarily subject to lengthy debate. These two problems are encountered in my investigation of the ethical practices of the modern business community and to remedy the situation I have taken two steps: the first being an attempt to clarify the meaning of terms used therein;-and the second being a clear description of the assumptions utilized to further my analysis. To satisfy those who would disagree with these assumptions, …

Eternal Vision: A Philosophical Study Of William Blake, Nancy Carroll
Senior Scholar Papers
William Blake the poet, painter and engraver of the late 18th and early 19th century England, had from the very outset of his career a prophet's message for all humanity. Hie unusual visionary capabilities, combined with a genius for expressing his mystical experience of life and art through the pervasive power of symbolism, places Blake in possibly a unique position ameng the figures of English literature. His philosophy of life and Eternity was based on the transcendent powers of the human imagination, and his life's work was an effort to free man from the moral and physical bonds which prevent …
