(1994) The Growth Of Self-Esteem Within A Community Of Inquiry, Philip C. Guin

Collected Papers of Philip C. Guin

Feeling good about oneself is, today, a fashionable way of describing self-esteem. Collections of more or less discrete feeling states, whether of happiness, confidence, competence, success, well-being and others, supposedly add up to feeling good about oneself. Accordingly, a villain and a saint might implausibly find themselves in company, as belonging to the class of those enjoying self-esteem. That both may be victims of self-deception, pathological cases, is irrelevant, for to the extent that self-esteem is tied to feeling states, virtually anyone may be a candidate. What makes this idea of self-esteem slippery is that one may possess it irrespective …

Goodrich, Jo Mcdougall, Jared Carter

The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

Taking seriously C.P. Snow's mid-century caution that scientists and writers had increasingly little understanding of the other, KELLY CHERRY explains how she and other poets have reflected the scientific world. Author of ten books, including God's Loud Hand, a volume of poems to be published this year by Louisiana State University Press, Cherry is Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

After Kurt Gödel's proof that no theory can completely explain a system, particularly one involving arithmetic, ADAM DROZDEK suggests, only the intellectually arrogant scientist can presume to understand the nature of humans. Yet many have tried in …

Meaning And Development, Messay Kebede

Philosophy Faculty Publications

This book is a learned yet passionate critique of alternative theories of development as addressed to traditional societies. It offers a forceful argument for sacrifice to be made in the name of moral faith. The metaphysical grounds and the scientific verification for such a faith are explored. An eloquent and original case for pursuing economic development in accordance with democracy and human dignity.

Law And Philosophy, Philosophy And Law, Francis J. Mootz Iii

Scholarly Works

A roundtable discussion about the relevance of contemporary hermeneutical philosophy for legal theory raises a foundational question often neglected in interdisciplinary articles: What is the relationship between law and philosophy? The burgeoning scholarship drawing connections between legal theory and philosophy increasingly has come under attack for displaying a naive view about the potential legitimate exchanges between philosophers and legal academics. I have written elsewhere at length about the important insights that philosophical hermeneutics can lend to jurisprudential discussions of the rule of law. In this essay, I develop my argument by stepping back and attending more generally to the connections …

Legitimating A Theodicy : Peter Berger And The Search For Meaning In Post-Enlightenment Society, James A. Collins

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

This thesis seeks to provide an overview and examination of the thought of the significant contemporary sociologist, Peter L. Berger. Berger is concerned with the issue of how meaning is constructed in modern, secular, bureaucratic society. Furthermore, this thesis seeks to outline, and trace the development of, Berger's thought. To achieve this the thesis examines Berger's use of the disciplines of the sociology of knowledge and religion, along with contemporary studies in religion and theology. Berger, by linking the function of a theodicy with that of making meaning, allows for theodicies to be conceived of in the broader context of …

(1994) Jesse’S Question (Philosophical Story), Ann Margaret Sharp

Collected Papers of Ann Margaret Sharp

I'm still thinking about my question. 'Mum, why do people have babies?'

Mum stops rocking and just stares at me. I'm beginning to think she doesn't understand my words when she says, 'Jesse, what a funny question.'

'I don't think it's funny, Mum. Or silly.'

Mum starts rocking again. 'Maybe people have children because they want to make their love last.'

'There are lots of children who could use that love,' I say. 'Like the children who live on the streets.'
