Metaphysics Without Pre-Critical Monism: Hegel On Lower-Level Natural Kinds And The Structure Of Reality, James Kreines
Metaphysics Without Pre-Critical Monism: Hegel On Lower-Level Natural Kinds And The Structure Of Reality, James Kreines
CMC Faculty Publications and Research
My focus here is on what Hegel has to say about nature and natural kinds, in ‘Observing Reason’ from the Phenomenology, and also in similar material from the Logic and Encyclopedia. I intend to argue that this material suggests a surprising way of stepping beyond the fundamental debate. There can of course be no question of elaborating and defending here a complete interpretation of Hegel’s entire theoretical philosophy. I will have to restrict myself to arguing for the unlikely conclusion that there is an approach that can combine and integrate the strongest points made by both sides in …
Pornography, Contemporary-Mainstream, Rebecca Whisnant
Pornography, Contemporary-Mainstream, Rebecca Whisnant
Philosophy Faculty Publications
Once a relatively small‐niche market, pornography in recent years has become a mainstream, technologically sophisticated multi‐billion‐dollar industry, one that plays a significant role in shaping our ideas about gender and sexuality. Like many complex and politically contested concepts, pornography can be defined in a number of different ways. While some defined pornography simply as any sexually explicit written or graphic material, others include additional criteria, such as that the material be produced for the purpose of sexually arousing its audience or that the material convey certain (typically sexist and degrading) ideas and attitudes about women, men, and sexuality. While these …

Responding To Dynamic Emptiness: A Non-Dualistic Approach To Self In Zen Buddhism, Joshua Price
Philosophical Ideas and Artistic Pursuits in the Traditions of Asia and the West: An NEH Faculty Humanities Workshop
Academic interest in eastern philosophical systems and religious traditions is no longer on the periphery of scholarly interest in the west. However, teachers in western society may have limited exposure to and knowledge of eastern thought scholarship because eastern philosophical themes seem so foreign to the western philosophical models derived from Greek philosophical traditions of which we have become accustomed. Thus, many instructors are left to the daunting task of unscrambling worldviews that are often quite different from their own, and then relating their findings to students in some coherent fashion.

Monstrous Thoughts And The Moral Identity Thesis, Stephanie Patridge
Religion & Philosophy Faculty Scholarship
The responses are not simply imagined: we are prescribed by Justine actually to find erotically attractive the fictional events, to be amused by them, to enjoy them, to admire this kind of activity. So the novel does not just present imagined events, it also presents a point of view on them, a perspective constituted in part by actual feelings, emotions, and desires that the reader is prescribed to have toward the merely imagined events. Given that the notion of response covers such things as enjoyment and amusement, it is evident that some kinds of responses are actual, and not just …
The Darwinian Cage: Evolutionary Psychology As Moral Science, Richard Hamilton
The Darwinian Cage: Evolutionary Psychology As Moral Science, Richard Hamilton
Philosophy Papers and Journal Articles
The jargon of evolutionary psychology has recently migrated from a few minor American universities into the academic mainstream and thence into Sunday supplements and dinner party conversations. It has even formed the backdrop to at least one award-winning novel (McEwan, 1997). Evolutionary psychology and other similar ‘biological’ explanations of human conduct pervade the Zeitgeist and, as Kenan Malik has persuasively argued, they tap into a prevailing mood of cultural pessimism. Evolutionary psychology, it seems, speaks to our desire to see the worst in ourselves (Malik, 2002).

Business Ethics: An Overview, Jeffrey Moriarty
Business Ethics: An Overview, Jeffrey Moriarty
Philosophy Faculty Publications
This essay provides an overview of business ethics. I describe important issues, identify some of the normative considerations animating them, and offer a roadmap of references for those wishing to learn more. I focus on issues in normative business ethics, but discuss briefly the growing body of work in descriptive business ethics. I conclude with a comment on the changing nature of the field.
Cheating With Honor, Christian A. Pfeiffer
Cheating With Honor, Christian A. Pfeiffer
Business and Economics Honors Papers
The intent of this paper is to understand what leads a student to cheat within the context of a small (enrollment below 2,000 students) liberal arts college. The development of a model will examine cheating from three categories highlighted in the literature: demographics, college culture, and the perception of cheating. Demographics capture relevant personal attributes of a student such as gender, GPA, and major. Cultural variables include variables for the presence of an honor code and participation in a sport or social organization, which provide that student with a unique cultural experience. Perception variables deal with the perceptions the students …
Literature And The Passion Of Virtue, Lawrence Kimmel
Literature And The Passion Of Virtue, Lawrence Kimmel
Philosophy Faculty Research
There has always been a reasonable concern that passion constitutes a challenge to the ordeal of civility—that passion and pathology are close cousins if not twin siblings. But in a time and place where political correctness seems to be replacing moral sensibility and political biases are hawked as the morality of family values, it is reasonable to redirect attention to a world of literature in which morality has never been reduced to norms of social currency and where virtue still embodies a passion of commitment that aspires to excellence.
Eros / Kalon / Agathos: Love, The Beautiful And The Good, Lawrence Kimmel
Eros / Kalon / Agathos: Love, The Beautiful And The Good, Lawrence Kimmel
Philosophy Faculty Research
My interest in this essay is an investigation of beauty in the transformation of standards of value. This requires that I address not simply an aesthetics of beauty—the sensuous experience common to the judgment that something is beautiful—but a poetics of beauty, in the sense that beauty is not merely a passive reflection of experience, but an active bringing forth. Contemporary discussions of beauty in art, if the question is addressed at all (artists understandably weary at the insistence that art be “beautiful” in traditional or accepted standards of the time) tend, as do other such questions, to be technical …
New Waves In Musical Ontology, Andrew Kania
New Waves In Musical Ontology, Andrew Kania
Philosophy Faculty Research
Since analytic aesthetics began, around 50 years ago, music has perhaps been the art most discussed by philosophers. The reasons for philosophers' attraction to music as a subject are obscure, but one element is surely that music, as a non-linguistic, non-pictorial, multiple-instance, performance art, raises at least as many questions about expression, ontology, interpretation and value as any other art—questions that often seem more puzzling than those raised by other arts.
Plotinus On Primary Being, Damian Caluori
Plotinus On Primary Being, Damian Caluori
Philosophy Faculty Research
Late antique philosophers took a great interest in metaphysics. Indeed, the discipline's very name, "metaphysics", goes back to late antiquity.1 One of the main reasons for this great interest can be found in the view - widespread in this period - that an understanding of reality is crucial for our lives and for the destiny and salvation of our souls.2 Only by contemplating and by possessing knowledge of reality - a reality that was thought to be beyond the world of our ordinary experience - is the soul in an uncorrupted state of well being. Metaphysics is precisely …
Functionalism, Curtis Brown
Functionalism, Curtis Brown
Philosophy Faculty Research
The term functionalism has been used in at least three different senses in the social sciences. In the philosophy of mind, functionalism is a view about the nature of mental states. In sociology and anthropology, functionalism is an approach to understanding social processes in terms of their contribution to the operation of a social system. In psychology, functionalism was an approach to mental phenomena which emphasized mental processes as opposed to static mental structures.

Liberal Theology In The Weimar Era: Schleiermacher And The Question Of Religious Subjectivity In The Methodenstreit Between Georg Wobbermin And Karl Barth, Brent Hege
Philosophy, Religion, and Classics
Recent historical studies of liberal theology in the Weimar era have called into question the popular thesis of liberal theology's sudden demise and disappearance coincident with the First World War and the publication of Karl Barth's Römerbrief. Historians of this period of theology are rediscovering a vibrant liberal theology active well into the 1920s and even into the 1930s. One of these liberal theologians, Georg Wobbermin, was particularly active in this period, and his work serves as an example of a constructive liberal theology pursued in the midst of dialectical theology's rise to prominence on the German-speaking theological scene. Wobbermin's …
Communicating With Accelerated Observers In Minkowski Spacetime, Francisco Flores
Communicating With Accelerated Observers In Minkowski Spacetime, Francisco Flores
Philosophy
Our goal here is to determine the spatial and temporal constraints on communication between two observers at least one of which moves with constant proper acceleration in two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. We take as a simplified model of communication one observer bouncing a light signal off another observer. Our derivations use only elementary mathematics and spacetime diagrams, and hence are accessible to students taking their first course in special relativity. Furthermore, the qualitative features of our results can be easily explained to non-physics students in courses that discuss special relativity at a ‘conceptual’ level.

Divan Japonais: Toulouse-Lautrec And Japanese Art, Eva Maria Raepple
Divan Japonais: Toulouse-Lautrec And Japanese Art, Eva Maria Raepple
Philosophy Scholarship
The French nineteenth century artists Henry Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) is known for his distinctive style and bold character portraits of the theatrical scene of the gaslight era in Paris. The paper examines some of the formative influences of eighteenth century Japanese art on the development of visual characters, with specific focus on a lithograph entitled Divan Japonais. Alluding to the refined representation of Japanese courtesans, subtle nuanced reminiscences to an ideal of elegance create an allusion to highly respected courtesans in the Japanese ‘Green Houses’ of the Asian Yoshiwara the famous “Good Luck Meadow” in Edo, present day Tokyo. I argue …

Heidegger As A Resource For "Philosophical Ideas And Artistic Pursuits In The Traditions Of Asia And The West", John C. Modschiedler
Philosophical Ideas and Artistic Pursuits in the Traditions of Asia and the West: An NEH Faculty Humanities Workshop
"Philosophical Ideas and Artistic Pursuits in the Traditions of Asia and the West" is the title of the National Endowment for the Humanities Workshop Series held at College of DuPage, Glen Ellyn, IL, during the academic year 2007-08. This piece will attempt to provide a brief introduction to a few of the lectures and a dialog by Martin Heidegger which may well provide the quickest access to his later thought, which in turn might be of help to faculty who would like to be able to draw upon Heidegger as a resource for thinking about "Philosophical Ideas and Artistic Pursuits …

Confucian Ethics In The Analects As Virtue Ethics, John Santiago
Confucian Ethics In The Analects As Virtue Ethics, John Santiago
Philosophical Ideas and Artistic Pursuits in the Traditions of Asia and the West: An NEH Faculty Humanities Workshop
The Confucian tradition embodies one of the most enduring and influential moral traditions in world history. Yet for Western readers Confucius remains little known, and perhaps even less approachable than the major thinkers of the Western philosophical tradition. While it is difficult to overstate his influence, Confucius himself left little if any written account of his moral outlook. What we know of the man and the origins of the Confucian tradition come from brief accounts of his life and teachings compiled primarily in the present text, the Analects. As such, Confucian ethics is best thought of as a tradition more …
A Comparison Of Religious Iconography - Buddha And Christ, Isabelle Sabau
A Comparison Of Religious Iconography - Buddha And Christ, Isabelle Sabau
Philosophical Ideas and Artistic Pursuits in the Traditions of Asia and the West: An NEH Faculty Humanities Workshop
The purpose of this module is to compare the visual expressions representing the lives of two significant religious figures – the Buddha and Jesus Christ – whose lives were imaged figuratively for both meditation and didactic uses. In both cases imagery progressed from the aniconic stage to the figurative employing important events from the life of the individual. Parallels can be found in the miraculous birth of both persons, their struggles – in the case of the Buddha to achieve enlightenment, while in the case of Jesus the agony and crucifixion, and the miracles each performed thereby convincing and persuading …
Whispering Sacredness: The Literati And Their Apparatus, Olfat El-Mallakh
Whispering Sacredness: The Literati And Their Apparatus, Olfat El-Mallakh
Philosophical Ideas and Artistic Pursuits in the Traditions of Asia and the West: An NEH Faculty Humanities Workshop
By defining "literati" and discussing the relationship between the literati, their apparatus, and their oeuvre, we are examining, in fact, Chinese thought. In Chinese worldview the sacred and secular are not sharply separated, as in the West. The Chinese primary religions are Daoism and Confucianism. Daoism is concerned with the individual’s relationship with Nature. And Confucianism explains man’s bearing on society and hence on the universe. For, it is the action of man, which maintains the harmony in the world.
