Philosophy And Psychical Research, Gerald C. Shelton

Philosophy ETDs

When science brings forth a new body of knowledge – or even a new bit of knowledge – it is the duty of philosophy to examine it to see what implications it has for our overall understanding of the universe. Does it point to a new answer to some perplexing philosophical problem, or reinforce one of several alternative answers? Or does it present a new problem which a satisfactory system of metaphysics must be able answer? Such questions should be asked. For the ultimate goal of philosophy is a complete understanding of the universe and man’s place in it. It …

The Early Philosophical Method Of Jean-Paul Sartre, Walter Richard Wood

Philosophy ETDs

Existentialism, in post war years, has achieved not only an international philosophical standing, but in addition has made itself felt in a multitude of contemporary affairs - from psychology and literature to politics and social ethics. A large measure of this propagation of existentialism has been due to the varied accomplishments of Jean-Paul Sartre. As a forceful intellectual, Sartre continues to arouse support and controversy for his radical and dramatic ideas in every field he approaches; yet at the heart of all this activity is the man’s philosophy. Although Sartre has contributed in major ways to philosophical discourse, there is …

Three Cyclical Cosmologies: A Comparative Study, Kenneth Ray Sutton

Philosophy ETDs

This comparative study of the cyclical cosmologies of the early Buddhists, Shao Yung, and the orthodox Stoics, reveals in variations observed in the common cyclical theme, characteristics historically prevalent in the respective philosophical traditions of India, China, and Greece; the early Buddhists exhibit the tendencies toward psycho-ethical explanation of change, use of yoga, and endeavor to be liberated from the cycle, prevalent in Indian philosophy, while Shao Yung reflects the interest in the common rhythm of change, objective observation and harmony with Nature for the purpose of anticipating correct, effective action, characteristic of much Chinese philosophy; and the orthodox Stoics …

A Survey Of Brazilian Philosophy, Allan S. Gnagy

Philosophy ETDs

Growing awareness of the interdependence of North and South American cultures, economically, politically and idealogically, makes it imperative that North Americans increase their understanding of the culture history and philosophies of South American countries. Then importance of the role of Brazilian philosophers in reflecting cultural developments has been too long neglected by North American philosophers. Since very little has been written in English about the philosophical environment in Brazil, a need exists for filling this gap. My own combination of abilities, an interest in philosophy and some facility with Portuguese and Spanish, makes the undertaking of the present project a …

CHARACTERISTICALLY earthbound, the editors of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY have kept their feet on the ground in the selection of material for publication this spring. Let Armstrong and Scott take their rides in the sky and their walks in space (better luck next time!). Born into this world too early, we leave other worlds, their discovery and exploration, to younger spirits. Here there is enough, were there time. Enough? Too much this spring. For us it is enough to range from enlightened British imperialism on the Gold Coast to the origins of ebullient American imperialism at …

ACKNOWLEDGING the fact of last month's outer-space rendezvous of Gemini 6 and 7 is one thing; realization of its meaning and ultimate significance is quite another. To groundlings in Southeast Kansas, the whole magnificent but virtually incredible achievement is too far out rationally as well as spatially. Moreover, there seems to us to be a more than ample supply of earthbound (even earthy) problems which cry for attention, questions which require fuller discussion, matters more immediate than moon-shots. The contents of this winter issue demonstrate our prior involvement in matters more humane and, to us …
