D-Structures And Their Semantics, Rohit J. Parikh

Publications and Research

"Many logicians are familiar with the game theoretic approach to semantics, due to Jaakko Hintikka. This paper by me contains class notes of a logic course at Boston University in fall 1972. It has similar game theoretic ideas, developed quite independently, but influenced by the work of A. Ehrenfeucht. It applies to a larger class of logics, including classical logic, intuitionistic logic and the *-semantics of Ehrenfeucht. The treatment is via D-structures which are finite approximations of infinite structures. For various reasons I did not publish this paper then, but some abstracts, both by myself as well as joint abstracts …

A Follow-Up Study (1970-1972) Of The 1969 State Scholarship Program In The State Of Rhode Island, Fred R. Bocchio, Anthony M. Ferraro

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Introduction

The philosophy and objectives underlying the Rhode Island State Scholarship Program encompassed severa1 basic assumptions about secondary education. Some of these assumptions have changed substantially over the past fifteen years and deserve close consideration. The new emphasis toward equalizing educational opportunities had been reflected in the changing philosophy that guided the administration of student financial aid. The genesis of most aid programs could be found in a concept that fostered the belief in a system built entirely upon meritocracy. This approach provided aid to students with high achievement and measured potential, irrespective of financial need. Educators seeing the inequity …

The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

in this issue. . .

IN A GALLANT EFFORT to stay on top of the news-no easy matter for a quarterly journal in swiftly changing times, and with a presidential surprise-of-the-month to distract us-we have updated copy, made changes in galleys, and on one occasion inserted fresh copy into our almost sacrosanct page proofs. This currency we owe to the vigilance of our authors, one of whom submitted new copy with the desperate comment that he believed he had now allowed for every possibility except a presidential defection to Russia!

IN THIS ISSUE our first article is a timely discussion …

The Relationship Of Self-Concept Changes And Performance On A Paired-Associates Learning Task To Communication Skills Training, Grace Hayden Blanchard

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The study examined the relationship of Communication Skills training to attitudes toward the self and to rate of learning. Sixty fifth-grade subjects from two public school classrooms were tested twice, before and after treatment, on the Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale and a Paired- Associates Learning task. The latter test, administered orally and individually, consisted of ten pictures of common objects. All ten pairs were shown to each subject after which only the first picture of each pair was presented and the subject was asked to recall its picture-associate. The Piers-Harris scale entitled, "The Way I Feel About Myself," a self …

Aristotle's De Philosophia And The Introduction Of The Fifth Element, David E. Hahm

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

One of the most influential of Aristotle's ideas, the idea that the heavenly bodies consist of a fifth element distinct from the four earthly elements (earth, water, air, and fire) is widely believed to have been introduced to the world for the first time in Aristotle's lost dialogue De Philosophia. This assumption has created a host of problems which have not yet been solved.

An Hegelian Interpretation Of The Vietnam War, Diane Heggarty

All Master's Theses

This essay attempts to use the philosophy of politics and history of George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel to interpret a contemporary situation--the Vietnam War. The gradual involvement of America in Vietnam is illustrated by the use of Hegel's dialectic or logic. Internal problems and strife are put in perspective by Hegel's political philosophy. Problems arise because general theories must always ignore particulars in a concrete situation such as Vietnam. But Hegel's view of the world is generally applicable to the twentieth century.

The Effects Of Legalized Abortion In England, J. Vincent O'Sullivan

The Linacre Quarterly

Dr. O'Sullivan traces the process leading to the passage of the 1968 British Abortion Act and the consequences of that act with a view to helping the American medical profession learn from the British experience.

This article discusses the effect that legalized abortion has had upon the people, and particularly the physicians, in England. Although New York State, among others, has now legalized abortion, it has not had sufficient experience with it to adequately assess its effects. But the English have had sufficient experience with it, and its effects there indicate that attempts to legalize abortion demand close watching.
