Perception And Extra-Mental Reality, John W. Mulroy

Bachelors’ Theses

In seeking an answer to the problem of Epistemology, namely, that of establishing the validity of human knowledge, we are confronted with many and various questions to be answered concerning the source of knowledge and its reliability. We are also confronted with many answers to the problems and many of those are exact opposites. Our problem is to find the most logical and practical solution.

Philosophical Mysticism As Epistemological Method, Glenn Negley

Graduate Thesis Collection

The general problem of the definition of mysticism may be approached in either of two ways.  We might assemble the elements of all types and method of mysticism, and, by the use of the critical method, arrive thereby at a description and definition of the mystical experience in its most general sense; or we might develop a restricted, specific definition by ignoring certain aspects of that type of experience which might, in a broad, general sense, be called mystical.

The Ethical Criteria Apparently Assumed As Valid By Various Economic Theories Of Wages, Herbert L. Abbott

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

It is eminently logical that the bare first word of this essay should be as to the philosophical motive that makes it appear interesting and fruitful. If we let two circles represent, respectively, the fields of ethics and economics, it seems probable that they will somehow intersect, providing an area common to both. It is this presumptive borderland of ethics and economics that we intend to study under conditions of restricted method and scope. It should be confessed at once that our efforts will be necessarily and rigorously theoretical, our essay is one of partial clarification of the ethical character …

Compatibility Of Lindworsky’S Theory Of Motives With Freedom Of The Will, John J. Solon

Bachelors’ Theses

The ability to make quick and accurate decisions is the aim of the average nan so, consequently, the matter of choice and decision has always been a subject of inquiry for me. While striving to know more about this power, I have chosen for my subject-matter a field that involves painstaking perusal among intricate, close distinctions. Some interpreters of Johannes Lindworsky, S.J., have maintained that his theory of motives and their influence on the will preclude any freedom of choice. My goal, then, will be to discover if Lindworsky can, consistently with his theory, maintain free-will. If I find that …

Radio In The Elementary School, Lenore Mary Stagg

Bachelors’ Theses

Radio is a magic instrument of unity and power destined to link nations, to enlarge knowledge, to remove misunderstandings, and to promote truth. But it will not achieve these things unless we keep a more watchful eye on those who use it and those who control it. We should arouse in all people a greater sense of their responsibility for the proper use of this modern miracle. One of the distinguishing features of American democracy is the excellence of its common school system. Another name for common school is elementary school. Children who are engaged in the Kindergarten and the …

Problem Solving, Catherine Ryan

Bachelors’ Theses

"A first principle of curriculum determination in arithmetic is: Teach what is useful to average citizens in the everyday affairs of life." This principle is not the only dominating factor. Almost every curriculum has specifics placed there by tradition and speculation. There is considerable uncertainty as to what is useful, and what is not practical. The principle of social utility seems to be gaining prominence. Attempts to discover the 'real' use of arithmetic are being conducted.

Mission San Juan Bautista, California, the largest of the mission edifices, is a splendid subject for such a study. Why was it built, what was the purpose of its strange closed-off side aisles, why did it decline, what were the results achieved in its history? These are questions which …

Marionettes A Project In The Elementary Schools, Lucille Sohrweide

Bachelors’ Theses

For centuries the puppets and marionettes have held an important place in philosophy and the theater world. A simile comparing mankind with puppets with the gods controlling the strings has long been the favorite of the philosophers. Plato compared man with a doll and his passions to the strings which caused its movements and actions. Aristotle told man to be a puppet of wood to be controlled or guided not by men like themselves, but by the Superior Being.
