On Moral Grounds: The Art/Science Of Ethics, Daniel C. Maguire, A. Nicholas Fargnoli

Open-Access Books by Faculty

From the introduction:

Our age can lay claim to a unique moral chaos. Modernity badgers us with perplexing moral questions: Can good ethics and good business ever coincide? Should medical science do all the things that it now can do? Is truth-telling always a virtue? If it is, how can one maintain professional or personal confidentiality? Is honesty always the best policy? What are the proper criteria for the journalistic media when it comes to reporting the real news and avoiding sensationalism? Should there be an “ethics committee” in government, in business, in hospitals, in law firms, or in financial …

The Art Of Fiction, Steven Workman

Bouwsma Paper Contest

Thinking about fiction raises some important questions that need to be answered if we are to grasp the essence of a fictional work. The questions I feel a theory of fiction needs to answer are as follows; Why do we react emotionally to fictional works when we are campletely aware of their fictionality? Why do we re-read books when we know what happens before re-reading? How are we to judge a work of fiction as a work of art’ When trying to come up with a theory of fiction, philosophers have proposed a wide range af solutions. These solutions have …

Hermeneutical Phenomenology And The Philosophy Of Science, Patrick A. Heelan

Research Resources

Continental philosophy from the start sees science as an institution in a cultural, historical, and hermeneutical setting. The domain of its discourse is values, subjectivity, Life Worlds, history, and society, as these affect the constitution of scientific knowledge. Its notion of truth is that which pertains to history, political power, and culture. Its concern with science is to interpret its historical conditions within human society -- usually in Western culture. Science, from this perspective, is a human, social -- and fallible -- enterprise. A concern of continental philosophy of science will include social failure as a possible indictment of scientific …

Formal Analysis Of Plato's Gorgias, Karen M. Burton

Anthós Journal (1990-1996)

Plato’s Gorgias is set up, from the beginning, to have an atmosphere of agon. The Socratic persona presented in the Gorgias is unlike any of the dialogues. Socrates is conceited, contradictory, and undefined in his language. In the end, the underlying dramatic elements of agon play themselves out as Socrates undermines his own conclusion to prove the flaws in rhetoric. Teasing out the language forms and other structural concerns show the layers of meaning embedded within the Gorgias.

The Use Of A Predecessor In Boethius' On The Consolation Of Philosophy, Mark Arvieux

Anthós Journal (1990-1996)

By interrogating the idea of a predecessor in Boethius’s On the Consolation of Philosophy, this paper investigates the underlying concepts present in the work. It suggests that there is a shift throughout the Consolation from Stoic thought to Neo-Platonists thought and that this shows the effect a predecessor, or a preceding tradition, can have on the creation of philosophical works. In the end it suggests that no literature is independent of its environment and history, but is rather a reflection of it.

Explication: The Cratylus, Joseph S. Gray

Anthós Journal (1990-1996)

Plato’s Cratylus is a dialogue on language involving Cratylus, Hermogenes, and Socrates. The issue at hand involves the correctness and truth in names and whether modification of names changes their meaning. This paper reflects on how the Cratylus presents Socrates’s argument and then goes on to suggest that Plato’s description of Socrates’s use of myth suggests that he was subtly pointing out the human-like quality of gods and the godlike qualities of man. For Plato all of this is framed and informed by the discussion of truth in naming.

Mythological Lovers In Chaucer's Troilus And Criseyde, Katherine Heinrichs

Quidditas

Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde is often criticized by modern scholars for the abruptness of its epilogue rejecting earthly love. Paull Baum objects that the moral of the epilogue is not, in fact, the moral of the tale and suggests that Chaucer might better have concluded in the manner of the stilnovisti, with Criseyde as a transfigured "gloriosa donna." J. S. P. Tatlock protests that "the feeling of the Epilog is in no way foreshadowed at the beginning or elsewhere; it does not illumine or modify; it contradicts. The heartfelt worldly tale is interpreted in an unworldly sense." He is …

Marginality As Women's Freedom: The Case Of Floripe, Marian Rothstein

Quidditas

When Jean Bagnyon chose to rewrite Fierabras for his contemporaries at the dawn of the printed book, strong fictional women who participated in their own name in the world, women not limited to domestic, advisory, or intercessory functions, were rare. Their scarcity did not end then. The interest of what follows must lie, at least in part, beyond Bagnyon's text and beyond Floripe herself. The purpose of subjecting the case of Floripe (sister of Fierabras) to close reading is in part to understand how this example of an active woman functions. My scrutiny of this text is also intended to …

From Campus To Campus: English University Life And The Renaissance Pastoral, Gary M. Bouchard

Quidditas

Literary critics have relied increasingly upon what we know of the particular goings-on at the court of Queen Elizabeth to explain all things we call Elizabethan, including a vast corpus of poetry. Pastoral poetry in particular, long regarded as an allegorical embodiment of court politics, is seen now more than ever as a product of social and political power struggles. I argue instead that the pastoral poetry of Renaissance England has to do with the academic world as much as, if not more than, with the ancillary world of the court, it was born of the academy, where Edmund Spenser …
