The Legal Ethics Of Radical Individualism, Thomas L. Shaffer

Journal Articles

Most of what American lawyers and law professors call legal ethics is not ethics. Legal ethics has come to be rules that appeal to sanction, and not the lawyer’s conscience. This Article analyzes the ethical quandary arising from modern ethics, and presents an assessment of the ethics of radical individualism in terms of the religious tradition’s influence on legal ethics.

Philosophical Hermeneutics And The Analects: The Paradigm Of Tradition, Alan Kam Leung Chan

Research Collection College of Integrative Studies

Hermeneutics, as a philosophical enterprise, is not new; it can be traced back at least to Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834) and Wilhelm Dilthey (1833-1911).1 Yet hermeneutics did not reach its philosophical maturity and acquire the worldwide recognition that it deserves until Hans-Georg Gadamer published his magnum opus, Truth and Method, in 1960.2 Here, with the help of Heidegger, hermeneutics is transformed from a general methodology of the "human sciences" (Geisteswissenschaften) into a full-fledged "practical" philo- sophy.3 With Gadamer, as we shall see, hermeneutics can no longer be under- stood as merely a theory of interpretation; rather, it is to be seen …

The Role Of The Mystic Actor At The Decline Of Civilization, Susan Dunlop Harper

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

An examination of the creative role of the individual confronting the decline and possible destruction of civilization, this thesis explores the potential of one human being to achieve, through a process of the reconciliation of opposites, unity within himself and throughout the world. William Butler Years’s theories of the Unity of Opposites, the Unity of Being, and the Unity of Culture are applied to the responsibility of the individual to realize his identity as a mystic actor: a person who takes action within the sacred, thereby creating himself and the universe in which he lives.

The Concept Of The Object Relation In The Writings Of Gotthard Booth, M.D.: An Example Of An Emerging Paradigm In Medicine, Thomas Charles Foster

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

The writings of Gotthard Booth, M.D., especially his concept of object relation, demonstrate a change in medical thought away from a mechanistic to a holistic conception of man. His concept of the object relation and the diagnostic rationale that he developed from it reveal changes in medical conceptualization that are consistent with those changes in conceptualization across a variety of disciplines that have been identified as part of an emerging paradigm.

Big Bang Theology: The Reconciliation Of Science And Religion, Milton L. Boyle Jr.

Bridgewater Review

A struggle began in 1633 which is not yet resolved. It is a contest for the highest possible stakes - the mind of man, and it pits two most formidable opponents against each other: science and religion. The event that initiated this battle was the trial of Galileo and the dominant issue was much more than a man's challenge of his church’s teachings and authority. Rather it was science versus religion, a new manifestation of an age-old struggle between faith and reason, the way man comes to know reality.

The Pragmatic Evolution Of America & The Role Of The Intellectual, Michael Draper

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The intent of this thesis is to examine a portion of the thought and historical events which contributed to the development of the United States as a pragmatic nation, and the resulting influence upon its intellectual attitudes. The pragmatic evolution of America is a logical consequence, given the backgrounds and circumstances of those people who first settled this land. The founders of this country were, for the most part, members of the poor, working class who had grown up under governments adhering to strict caste societies and religious domination by their rulers. They held a common belief in a work …

The Rationality Of Plato’S Theory Of Good And Evil, Allan A. Davis

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

Plato has been called the “father of rational theology.” This thesis is an attempt to examine in the light of contemporary Platonic scholarship five of Plato’s essentially religious doctrines insofar as they support the idea that Plato’s theory of good and evil is rational. Chapters 1 and 2 examine the plausibility of Plato’s theory of knowledge. Chapter 3 states briefly his theory of Forms, while Chapter 4 attempts to give this doctrine credence by analysing those aspects of it which seem least convincing. Chapters 5 and 6 consider Plato’s theory of soul and conclude that, although some of his beliefs …

The Approach Of The Edgar Cayce Readings To Dreams And Dreaming, Brian Wilkinson

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

A preparatory presentation of the origin of the Edgar Cayce psychic material and its approach to the nature of the mind and sleep is made. Then, the psychic material of the late Edgar Cayce is examined in relation to dreams and dream interpretation.

Dreams, according to the Edgar Cayce Readings and the author, are meaningful, purposefully directed experiences that have as their goal the full development of personal potential. Suggestions are given for the recording and interpretation of dreams.

ACKNOWLEDGING the fact of last month's outer-space rendezvous of Gemini 6 and 7 is one thing; realization of its meaning and ultimate significance is quite another. To groundlings in Southeast Kansas, the whole magnificent but virtually incredible achievement is too far out rationally as well as spatially. Moreover, there seems to us to be a more than ample supply of earthbound (even earthy) problems which cry for attention, questions which require fuller discussion, matters more immediate than moon-shots. The contents of this winter issue demonstrate our prior involvement in matters more humane and, to us …

GENERALLY SPEAKING, spring is a non-political season. Certainly, with the snow and ice melting away, the winds of March rattling the windows, and the elm buds burgeoning against the blue sky, political practice and theory seem to belong somewhere else in time and space. But, the news constantly, forceably, shockingly thrusts politics into eye, heart, mind, and viscera every day, whether that news comes from Saigon, Selma, Topeka, or Washington. Your American is first and foremost a political animal. If he isn't he needs to be. John Adams and Tom Jefferson understood this; Henry Thoreau …
