How Learning Mathematics Helps Us Be Virtuous, Joan Kung

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

A number of passages in the Timaeus make a connection that strikes us as odd, even bizarre perhaps. Who nowadays thinks that the study of geometry or number theory has anything to do with being a good person? Yet these passages emphasize the importance for human virtue and happiness of mathematical studies, especially the study of the ratios of numbers and the geometry of solids in motion, the harmonies and revolutions of the world or of the god. We are told, for example, that by learning to know and compute these rightly we shall bring our souls into order and …

On The Concept Of Corporate Moral Agency, David Ray

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Much of the popular discussion of the social responsibilities of corporations overlooks the fundamental question of whether corporations (as opposed to their employees) are the type of entities to which it is proper to make responsibility ascriptions. That is the question I address in this paper. I proceed by outlining the criteria a subject must meet in order to qualify as a moral agent (the most controversial of which when applied to corporations is the capability of intentional action) and then examining five popular views on the status of corporations. The views vary widely in their conclusions, from the position …

Eudemian Ethical Method, Lawrence J. Jost

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Are there any distinctive contributions that the EE, as opposed to the NE, makes to the study of ethical method? The fact that the Eudemian environment is particularly hospitable to endoxic method by comparison with the NE is surely worthy of note, even extended examination. We look first at undoubtedly NE passages for methodological remarks, noting how spare such as can be found really are when compared with undoubtedly EE material. Eventually we shall be in position to suggest that it is the EE and not the NE which must be given the credit for containing the fullest account of …

The Last Word: Beyond Toleration, Edward W. James

Bridgewater Review

We live in a society that is wracked by moral differences - from abortion and civil disobedience to sex and welfare issues. Such pressing issues offer so many options, qualifications and restatements that we often do not even know how to begin to deal with them. And when we ourselves manage to work through to a conclusion we can abide, we find ourselves confronted by the problem of the other: how are we to regard those who disagree with us on such moral issues')

Induction And Deduction Revisited, Kenton Machina

Faculty Publications - Philosophy

Most authors seem to assume there are two types of argument, deductive ones and inductive ones. But there is wide disagreement about how those two are to be distinguished from one another, and about whether there are two kinds of logic, deductive and inductive, relevant to evaluating arguments of each type. In this paper, I argue that all attempts to distinguish a logic of inductive arguments from a logic of deductive ones fail. I argue that the distinction between induction and deduction is not a logical distinction, but is rather a pragmatic one, pertaining to how “tight” the argument needs …

The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

in this issue. . .

The waters of historical research abound with shoals, whirlpools, and uncharted, if not unimportant, wastes. VIRGINIA J. LAAS relates one such encounter on a voyage of discovery related to the biography of Rear Admiral Samuel Phillips Lee she undertook with Dudley T. Cornish, a successful and altogether fortuitous collaboration which benefitted both scholars and their profession. The book which resulted, entitled The Life of Rear Admiral Samuel Phillips Lee, U.S. Navy, will be published in early 1986 by The University Press of Kansas. The marriage in 1843 of the young naval officer, then a Lieutenant …
