A Comparative Study Of Jane Austen And Francis Burney, Monica Rose Schumaker

Bachelors’ Theses

The moral and intellectual background of the eighteenth century readily divides itself into two periods: the first from 1700 to 1760, is characterized as a time of unabashed indecency, political intrigue and tyranny; from 1760 to 1800 we have a period depicting a slow but clearly perceptible change in personal, social and public ideals.

A Philosophical Delineation Of Some Of The Juridical, Political, And Economic Problems Arising During The Period Of Discovery And Nationalization, Daniel Shea

Bachelors’ Theses

We find in Tennyson's Ulysses a prototype of the typical adventurous man of that glorious Spain of the Age of Discovery: the Spain from whose shores, not only the stern and practical Columbus set sail, but also the romantic and adventurous Spain of Ponce de Leon whose search for the elusive Fountain of Youth culminated in the discovery and exploration of the hitherto unknown Florida which now, by some strange paradox, has become the fountain of youth for modern business worried de Leons. Spain indeed, during her Golden Age, did not "rust unburnished not to shine in use". Her ships …

Bertrand Russell’S Philosophy Of Marriage And The Family, Russell C. Williams

Bachelors’ Theses

It may be of' interest to some to know why the philosophy of Bertrand Russell was selected as a subject for a study of' the problems of marriage and family. For the past two years, it has been a problem with me to know what the reasons are behind the apparent widespread immorality of the present day, and to know whether this immorality was caused by the spread of a new philosophy, or was a result of' indifference within society itself.

Euthanasia Or Mercy Killings, George Joseph Nicoud

Bachelors’ Theses

In this modern and changing world new problems are constantly arising and older ones are being dispensed with. Man has to adapt himself almost daily to changing and more complex situations. The world has advanced to such an extent that in this present generation we are known as "human machines" rather than human beings. Men are worked until they drop off from the strain or they work until they are broken, decrepit old men, no longer a use to anybody and a burden to almost everybody. As our modernity progressed, so also did conventions and ideas. Ideas of morals changed. …

A Study Of Communistic Philosophy Ancient And Modern, Magdalene Krebs

Bachelors’ Theses

Communism is not exclusively the product of our modern age. As the term is commonly used today, it signifies, in its mildest form, a political theory of community control of the means of production and distribution; in its severest form it means the attainment of such control by a force so ruthless as to disregard life, liberty, and humanity of mankind in the accomplishment of its purpose. Through the ages, however, Communism has had many different meanings. History records some of these meanings for us. To the early Christian Church it meant, "As many as were possessors of lands or …

Thoreau And Gandhi: A Study In Contrasts And Comparisons, Stewart W. Smith

Bachelors’ Theses

The present study is an attempt to indicate, through an examination of the sources, the extent of Gandhi’s indebtedness to Thoreau for the ideas and principles involved in the formers revolutionary programs both in Africa and India. The fact that Gandhi is indebted to Thoreau is readily admitted by most scholars who have written on Gandhi. How¬ ever, until the present study, no attempt has been made to examine and coordinate such material as is available. It is unfortunate that not all of Gandhi’s writings have been collected and translated into English. Until such time as this is done no …

A Critical Analysis Of Jonathan Edwards' Treatise On The Freedom Of The Will, Ralph Harold Metcalfe

Bachelors’ Theses

The subject of the Freedom of the Will has appealed to me from the first time I began studying it. I have always regarded the faculty of volition in man as a fundamental reason why man is as he is. It is enough to study what man really is rather than what he might be, for man with hie many intracies has been the object of study since he was first conceived on this earth furthermore man will be studied as long as there is time.

I have chosen as my thesis, A Critical Analysis of Jonathan Edwards’ Treatise on …

Plutarch's Philosophy Of Religion, Upton Heath Tarbert Iii

Bachelors’ Theses

The epoch just prior to the birth of Christ seems, in a sense, to be neglected In this age, which seems to be a turning point in history, we do not find a religious crisis, a philosophical drift or a moral demand so emphatic as to be capable of separate treatment. Thus far in history, historical issues seem to-have occupied the spotlight. However the old system was in a slow process of dissolution and a new one was receiving conception. In an age which demanded and received its sober defender of the old and its divine revealer of the new, …

Immortality In Recent Philosophies, Paul Harold Kubik

Master's Theses

The problem of immortality has challenged man­ kind from the earliest dawn of civilization.A belief in some sort of immortality has had, with but few exceptions, a universal adherence.Even modern man, having the know­ ledge of multitudinous contributions of preceding generations concerning immortality, continues to ponder over the problem as much as ever. Much discussion has concerned itself with a life beyond death, and the diverse beliefs ensuing indicate that the problem is truly a riddle of immense depth and complexity.It has aroused the thought or both great and small men; it has challenged their way of living, enabling them …

Health Programs In Relation To The Doctor And Patient, Robert F. Mac Beath

Bachelors’ Theses

In this complicated and swift moving life we lead today, sickness and its too oft companion death, play an important and seemingly unavoidable part. Babes in arms, children, the more rapid youth, the middle aged in their established march, and the faltering old; all are the target of the encroachments of sickness and few or none escape it in their lifes journey. These encroachments may range all the way from a slight inconvenience to those ailments which cause death either ultimately or immediately. The list of these diseases known to medical science in their names alone fill a large book. …

Plays For Young Children, Edna S. Soper

Bachelors’ Theses

The dramatic instinct is a prime force in civilization; the need to give vent to pent-up emotion, to express joy of living, to put in material form the ideas that vex his spirit, has driven man to imitate and to create. Primitive people expressed this need in songs and dances. Civilization restrains and suppresses the voluntary expression of emotion that seeks outlet in various ways. But it cannot be wholly stifled. Man feels the need to seek excitement and emotional experience sometimes in the mere satisfaction of curiosity. This is a response to a need and desire felt everywhere and …

Mechanism Vs. Vitalism, William Francis Hegner

Bachelors’ Theses

A problem that had always interested philosophers and scientists was the problem of life; in spite of the development of knowledge during the past centuries, men were apparently not advancing in a very noticeable degree beyond the explanation of Aristotle in regard to this leading issue. Men had always recognized the difference between living and non-living matter; but were not agreed as to the difference of differences. In trying to find the true difference many questions were asked on each side by students of living and non-living matter. The student of life asked: What were its characteristic revelations? What were …

The Henological Argument For The Existence Of God, Paul Noelke

Bachelors’ Theses

If "only the fool says in his heart there is no God," the contemporary world is harboring countless simpletons. Where decades ago only a minority or rancid skeptics and confused "philosophers" admitted their agnosticism and atheism, today sincere people, as well as the more egregious moderns, are quite frank in proclaiming their disbelief in a Supreme Being. Syndicated newspaper columns, novels, radio addresses, and even political speeches take up the cudgels of the new humanism ·where the modern philosophical treatises leave off. The widely read Mr. Walter Lippmann states that the common man "feels that those who claim to be …

The Philosophy Of Horace, Dorothy Lorraine Hudson

Bachelors’ Theses

In the following thesis I have endeavored to analyze the philosophy of Horace from a study of his works; to point out his independence of the philosophic systems of the day, and to show the character of his philosophy and the fundamental principles on which it was based.

I have tried to show, also, how his own philosophy affected his daily life and wherein it afforded him a singular happiness and contentment.

The Development Of Dr. Alfred North Whitehead's Philosophy, Frederick Joseph Parker

Master's Theses

Professor Whitehead is a Realist. Realism holds that some or all known objects do not depend on the mind for existence. It ls possible that objects exist without being known. Space and time, energy, matter, plant world, and values may exist independent of a mind. He is not a materialist nor an idealist. Not a materialist for he has thrown away the Newtonian physics nor an idealist for he states that minds are concrete events existing in space and time. There is much of Plato and Aristotle in his philosophy. He has also been greatly influenced by Bertrand Russell, who …
