Causation, Agency, And Law In Antiphon: On Some Subtleties In The Second Tetralogy, Joel Mann
Causation, Agency, And Law In Antiphon: On Some Subtleties In The Second Tetralogy, Joel Mann
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
That no one can or should be convicted in a law court on pollution charges is, I suggest, the implicit message of Antiphon’s second Tetralogy. More than a mere rhetorical exercise, Antiphon offers us a rational and compelling critique of religious law and of legal responsibility generally. In so doing, he anticipates modern puzzles in the philosophy of law as well as some of their more sophisticated solutions. A work not only of ingenious skepticism but also of considerable subtlety, the second Tetralogy should be considered the product of a philosopher who made perhaps the most substantial extant contribution to …
The Effect Of Color Congruency And Involvement On Non-Profit Organizational Messaging, Claire Selius
The Effect Of Color Congruency And Involvement On Non-Profit Organizational Messaging, Claire Selius
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Color is a major factor in persuasive communication and messaging. This study examines the role of color and other variables in the communication of environmental causes. Many environmental organizations are starting to use color to generate awareness and create symbolic color associations. Based on the congruency theory and the elaboration likelihood model, this study tested specific research hypotheses pertaining to the effects of color-cause congruency and involvement with the cause on consumer reactions through a controlled experiment. Results reveal that involvement and the congruency between color and cause had an effect on attitude toward the organization and attitude toward the …
Allowing The Accidental; The Interplay Between Intentionality And Realism In Photographic Art, Katrina Mitcheson
Allowing The Accidental; The Interplay Between Intentionality And Realism In Photographic Art, Katrina Mitcheson
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
We experience photographs both as intentional and as prone to the accidental. The photograph is both capable of being an artwork with its own, constructed world and of drawing our attention to the reality of the objects used in creating it. In this article I employ the insights contained in the concepts of Barthes’ studium and punctum in order to explore how the artist’s intentions and the realism of photography interact aesthetically. I advance the idea that a unique aesthetics of photography can be rooted in the tension between the intentional, culturally coded message of a photograph and the emanation …
Sailing The Seas Of Cheese, Erik Anderson
Sailing The Seas Of Cheese, Erik Anderson
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
Memphis Elvis is cool; Vegas Elvis is cheesy. How come? To call something cheesy is, ostensibly, to disparage it, and yet cheesy acts are some of the most popular in popular culture today. How is this possible? The concepts of cheese, cheesy, and cheesiness play an important and increasingly ubiquitous role in popular culture today. I offer an analysis of these concepts, distinguishing them from nearby concepts like kitchy and campy. Along the way I draw attention to the important roles of cultural/historical context, background knowledge, and especially artist’s intentions as they are relevant to aesthetic assessments involving cheese and …
On The Guise Of The Good, Joseph Raz
On The Guise Of The Good, Joseph Raz
Faculty Scholarship
The chapter examines the main argument for, and the presuppositions of the claim that intentional actions are actions taken in, and because of, a belief that there is some good in them. An analysis of intentional actions, and of action for a (normative) reason, followed by a consideration of a number of objections to the thesis of the Guise of the Good force various revisions and refinements of the thesis yielding a defensible version of it. It is argued that the revised thesis is supported by the same argument that inspired the Guise of the Good from the beginning and …
