Xavier Zubiri: An Introduction, Brad E. Stone Jan 2009

Xavier Zubiri: An Introduction, Brad E. Stone

Philosophy Faculty Works

In this essay, I seek to present Zubiri the man, the teacher, and the writer. Zubiri's influence as a philosopher is quite apparent given the large body of translations and secondary literature on him in many different languages and cultures.


Zubiri And The Very Problem Of The Problem Of Evil, Brad E. Stone Jan 2009

Zubiri And The Very Problem Of The Problem Of Evil, Brad E. Stone

Philosophy Faculty Works

This essay continues the line of thought started in a previous article of mine, "The Very Problem of the Problem of God in Zubiri and Unamuno,"in The Xavier Zubiri Review 6 (2004), pp. 73-88. There I argued that true atheism is impossible if Xavier Zubiri and Miguel de Unamuno are correct about the re&son human beings talk about "God" at all.

The Good Of The Intellect, Eric Perl Jan 2009

The Good Of The Intellect, Eric Perl

Philosophy Faculty Works

Recent continental philosophy often seeks to retrieve Neoplatonic transcendence, or the Good, while ignoring the place of intellect in classical and medieval Neoplatonism. Instead, it attempts to articulate an encounter with radical transcendence in the immediacy of temporality, individuality, and affectivity. On the assumption that there is no intellectual intuition (Kant), intellectual consciousness is reduced to ratiocination and is taken to be “poor in intuition” (Marion). In this context, the present paper expounds Plotinus’ phenomenology of intellectual experience to show how intellect, for Plotinus, is rather the richest mode of intuition, coinciding with the intelligible content of reality. This content, …


Units Of Selection, Timothy Shanahan Jan 2009

Units Of Selection, Timothy Shanahan

Philosophy Faculty Works

Understanding what kind of variation is possible and at what level selection occurs over those variations is what has driven the conversation about evolutionary biology at least since Darwin.

Языковая Политика И Языковая Ситуация В Кыргызстане, Замира Дербишева Jan 2009

Языковая Политика И Языковая Ситуация В Кыргызстане, Замира Дербишева

Russian Language Journal

Конец XX века и начало XXI века ознаменовались новым взглядом на языки. События этих лет, исторически значимых не только для Кыргызстана, но и для всех стран постсоветского пространства с точки зрения интенсивных социально‐политических, экономических, культурных, идеологических процессов в обществе являются экстралингвистическими предпосылками для изменений в языковой ситуации в каждой республике.


Religious Rituals In Tayabas, Jayeel Cornelio Jan 2009

Religious Rituals In Tayabas, Jayeel Cornelio

Development Studies Faculty Publications

I was one of the research leaders of the Ateneo Cultural Laboratory 2009 in Tayabas, Quezon Province, Philippines. Funded by Fundacion Santiago, the project has released a report offering a comprehensive documentation, analysis, and policy proposals regarding the various aspects of the cultural heritage of Tayabas. This chapter specifically deals with the town's religious rituals which showcase how Catholicism, while deeply embedded in everyday life, also manifests elements that may be pre-Hispanic in character. The paper ends by emphasising a community-based approach to the preservation of these fascinating religious rituals. The report is now in the hands of Fundacion Santiago …


Seeing The Unseen, Hebatallah Youssef Jan 2009

Seeing The Unseen, Hebatallah Youssef

Archived Theses and Dissertations

Man as a being has always been concerned with seeing the unseen; each individual who ventures upon this search has a different trajectory. This research studies the path which seems to unite different travelers who seek the vision of the unseen, through analyzing Plato's allegory of the cave, which is an excerpt from The Republic, Heidegger's interpretation of the allegory which is from his book The Essence of Truth, and some of the works of Ibn 'Arabi which shed light on the Sufi path. It is my hope that the similarities that emerge from this analysis will help enunciate the …


An Apologetic To The Neo-Pagans As Represented By Dr. Gus Dizerega, William Tennison Smitherman Ii Jan 2009

An Apologetic To The Neo-Pagans As Represented By Dr. Gus Dizerega, William Tennison Smitherman Ii

Masters Theses

The current trend of multi-religious observance can be traced to various root sources. In particular, the advocacy of Christianity and another religious tradition is particularly strong within Neo-Pagan circles. Through historical investigation, as well as response to the writings of Dr. Gus DiZerega, a prominent Neo-Pagan proponent, these connection will be made. It will be posited that the core of modern neo-pagan belief and perhaps that of modern Celtic Christianity are found in similar traditions. This study, while not exhaustive is a beginning to a fruitful conversation between Christians and Neo-Pagans. It also provides a bridge to see that there …


Is There A Neurobiology Of Hate, Edmund M. Glaser Jan 2009

Is There A Neurobiology Of Hate, Edmund M. Glaser

Journal of Hate Studies

Some months ago at a Holocaust conference in Scottsdale, I had the pleasure of hearing a provocative presentation by Kenneth Stern on the sources of antisemitism and how antisemitism might be related to hatred. This occurred shortly after I had talked at the same conference about my experiences in 1946-1947 as a U.S. Army motion picture photographer at the Nuremberg Medical Trials, where I had witnessed and made sound movies of the trial of the 23 defendants, mostly physicians, accused of experimenting on concentration camp victims and causing the deaths of untold numbers of them. So I thought I had …


Oppression By Scientific Method: The Use Of Science To “Other” Sexual Minorities, James M. Mohr Jan 2009

Oppression By Scientific Method: The Use Of Science To “Other” Sexual Minorities, James M. Mohr

Journal of Hate Studies

Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) civil rights have become a major focus of the legislative agenda of a variety of organizations in support of and in opposition to those rights. This growing interest in LGB civil rights can be seen through the increasing news reports and political discussions concerning marriage equality, the addition of sexual orientation as a protected class to hate crime laws and workplace nondiscrimination legislation, the elimination of the military’s “don’t ask don’t tell” policy, and the right of LGB people to adopt children. As these issues move to the forefront, different groups attempt to use scientific …


Revisiting Hateful Science: The Nazi “Contribution” To The Journey Of Antisemitism, Steven Leonard Jacobs Jan 2009

Revisiting Hateful Science: The Nazi “Contribution” To The Journey Of Antisemitism, Steven Leonard Jacobs

Journal of Hate Studies

While this volume of the Journal of Hate Studies is devoted to “The Science of Hate”—research and knowledge about hate’s origins and manifestations seen through the lens of the empirical sciences—this contribution is a cautionary reminder that, like all human projects, intellectual and other, the sciences, too, can be perverted by its practitioners in the service of hate itself.1 The case study is that of the Nazi Otmar Freiherr von Verschuer, MD, (1896-1969), eugenicist and geneticist, and, specifically, his (1938) text “Racial Biology of the Jews.” Of particular note is the American “connection,” in supplying both supporting legitimation for the …


Social Justice Leadership In Action: The Case Of Tony Stewart, Kathy Canfield-Davis, Mary E. Gardiner, Russell A. Joki Jan 2009

Social Justice Leadership In Action: The Case Of Tony Stewart, Kathy Canfield-Davis, Mary E. Gardiner, Russell A. Joki

Journal of Hate Studies

Reflecting on the 140th anniversary of the Fourteenth Amendment (ratified July, 1868), this qualitative case study described a response by educator-activist Tony Stewart to the Aryan Nations, a neo-Nazi hate group that attempted to intimidate Stewart’s community, Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho, between 1972-2000. Stewart galvanized community response using a social justice agenda. We interviewed Stewart and essential community members, and examined legal documents, articles, and documentaries. Findings indicated Stewart’s leadership of public education and response via an anti-racism task force reduced and then defeated the group’s viability. Educational practices included strategic planning and community outreach. The study revealed a social …


Disrupted Constructions: Joe Christmas's Formation Of Race And Sexuality In Light In August, Victoria M. Bryan Jan 2009

Disrupted Constructions: Joe Christmas's Formation Of Race And Sexuality In Light In August, Victoria M. Bryan

Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

William Faulkner intended Joe Christmas to be a tragic character who would constantly seek an identity. He combats any threat to his safety—be it physical, mental, or emotional safety—with violent reactions that generally manifest in outbursts toward women for threatening his conception of his sexuality by coercing him into an intimate relationship. At many points throughout the novel, Christmas associates himself with the black race and endures all of the ridicule that comes with it just to believe that he knows a little bit about his personal history and allows his racial confusion to influence his construction of his sexual …
