Afterword, David G. Schultenover
Afterword, David G. Schultenover
Theology Faculty Research and Publications
Today many books appear regarding Vatican II. Yet, only very few of them manage to locate this crucial event in the life of the twentieth century Roman Catholic Church against the broad horizon of both its prehistory and its aftermath. This book does just that. In seven chapters, this volume offers a survey of the evolution of Post-Enlightenment Catholicism, in the period spanning from ca. 1830 to the present, tying together the renewals proposed by the first and the Second Vatican Councils. Each phase in this evolution is discussed from a double angle: on the hand from the viewpoint of …

The Sacramental Foundations Of Ecclesial Identity: Barrier Or Passageway To Ecumenical Unity?, Susan Wood
Theology Faculty Research and Publications
Two important events this year make it clear that ecclesiology still deserves a prominent place on the theological agenda. Pope Francis announced the creation of a council of cardinals to assist him in governing the world-wide Catholic Church. During the next assembly of the World Council of Churches the long awaited Faith & Order statement on The Church: Towards a Common Vision will be officially received. In this volume more than 40 authors (among whom well-known theologians such as André Birmelé, William Cavanaugh, Michael Fahey, Bradford Hinze, Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, Paul Murray, Bernard Prusak, Ioan Sauca, Myriam Wijlens, Susan Wood and …

Consciousness As Integrated Information: A Provisional Philosophical Critique, Anthony F. Peressini
Consciousness As Integrated Information: A Provisional Philosophical Critique, Anthony F. Peressini
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
Giulio Tononi (2008) has offered his integrated information theory of consciousness (IITC) as a ‘provisional manifesto’. I critically examine how the approach fares. I point out some (relatively) internal concerns with the theory and then more broadly philosophical ones; finally I assess the prospects for IITC as a fundamental theory of consciousness. I argue that the IITC’s scientific promise does carry over to a significant extent to broader philosophical theorizing about qualia and consciousness, though not as directly as Tononi suggests, since the account is much more focused on the qualitative character of experience rather than on consciousness itself. I …

Influence Of Global Aesthetics On Chinese Aesthetics: The Adaptation Of Moxie And The Case Of Dafen Cun, Eva Kit Wah Man
Influence Of Global Aesthetics On Chinese Aesthetics: The Adaptation Of Moxie And The Case Of Dafen Cun, Eva Kit Wah Man
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
This article examines the practice of moxie or imitation in art in Chinese aesthetics, compares it with the Platonic notion of mimesis, and explicates its original meaning. I then trace its development from traditional painting to the late Qing export paintings in which traditional Chinese aesthetics was combined with Western perspectives to satisfy Western tastes. The discussion extends to the contemporary development of moxie in China by considering the case of Dafen Cun, an art village in Shenzhen that is famous for its copycat art practices. It explores how Dafen Cun has become a major exporter of copies of Western …

Public Aquariums And Marine Aesthetics, Nola Semczyszyn
Public Aquariums And Marine Aesthetics, Nola Semczyszyn
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
Given the inaccessibility of the marine environment, the closest many of us come to viewing it is at public aquariums. Aquariums also provide us with rich aesthetic experiences, but it is not clear whether we appreciate the marine environment at aquariums. I present the dilemma of aquarium appreciation as an inconsistent triad: 1) we treat aquariums as places to appreciate marine environments, 2) aquariums are artifacts, not natural objects, and 3) nature and art should be appreciated differently. I argue that aquarium displays are scientific models of marine environments with aesthetic, educational, and scientific aims. My solution to the dilemma …
Atopia & Aesthetics. A Modal Perspective, Yves Millet
Atopia & Aesthetics. A Modal Perspective, Yves Millet
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
Living in an era where global exchanges of forms and ideas are the norm raises some questions about the status of artistic practices. To explore these questions, we use Roland Barthes’ notion of atopia and the complementary yet related notion of Neutral on which Barthes commented in his later years. Atopia highlights the fact that rather than viewing current artistic activities as searches for homogenous identity, we need to view them as belonging to plural communities of practices offering modal and qualitative distinctions. We suggest that adopting this perspective sheds light on the capacity of any individual to act creatively …

In Praise Of Ambiguity: Musical Subtlety And Merleau-Ponty, Tiger C. Roholt
In Praise Of Ambiguity: Musical Subtlety And Merleau-Ponty, Tiger C. Roholt
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
When a jazz, rock, or hip-hop drummer strikes certain notes in each measure slightly late, instead of hearing the degree to which those notes are late, we typically hear the effects of those variations; namely, a groove, the "feel" of a rhythm. Slight variations of pitch function similarly. In this essay, I argue that certain analytic theorists go astray due to their preoccupation with the variations themselves. By invoking Maurice Merleau-Ponty's insights into subtle visual perceptions, and his notion of perceptual indeterminacy, I avoid an account of musical subtlety suggested by Daniel Dennett that is too coarse-grained, as well as …

The Aesthetics Of Resistance, Giuseppe Patella
The Aesthetics Of Resistance, Giuseppe Patella
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
Talking about resistance means raising the question of opposition, of denying all attempts at neutralizing opposites, which would be typical of ideological construction, either political or aesthetic. This essay investigates the meaning and the reasons of resistance according to a theoretical, aesthetic, and cultural point of view. The thesis is that resistance has to be considered as an articulation of difference, and that means following a different logic of thought, no longer rigid or monolithic but plural, like a new grammar, syntax, and practice of creativity, challenge, provocation, multiplicity, and pluralism. In this sense the aesthetics of resistance is an …
Hegel's Symbolic Stage: An Old Perspective On Contemporary Art, Laura T. Disumma-Koop
Hegel's Symbolic Stage: An Old Perspective On Contemporary Art, Laura T. Disumma-Koop
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
This paper proposes an evaluation of contemporary art works in light of some of the concepts embedded in Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel’s symbolic stage. My belief is that an analysis of Hegel’s conditions for the affirmation of art opens the door to a discussion of contemporary artistic trends, a discussion that also takes distance from the (perhaps) abused question of what defines art. Art does more than question itself; art questions, and challenges, the nature of our perception.
The World Achieved: Film And The Enacted Mind, John M. Carvalho
The World Achieved: Film And The Enacted Mind, John M. Carvalho
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
Stanley Cavell taught us that films give us a view of a world that differs from the world in which we view films only by not being that world. Films, that is, screen a world for us and screen us from a world that is not our own. Cavell’s view is based on a photographic conception of film images. A film is composed of photographic images collected on reels and put in motion at twenty-four frames per second. In “More of the World Viewed,” Cavell dares us to come up with a theory of perception that challenges the assumption that …
“May You Live In Interesting Times”: Moral Philosophy And Empirical Psychology [Review Of The Moral Psychology Handbook], Nancy E. Snow
“May You Live In Interesting Times”: Moral Philosophy And Empirical Psychology [Review Of The Moral Psychology Handbook], Nancy E. Snow
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
The Moral Psychology Handbook is a contribution to a relatively new genre of philosophical writing, the “handbook.” In the first section, I comment on an expectation about handbooks, namely that handbooks contain works representative of a field, and raise concerns about The Moral Psychology Handbook in this regard. In the rest of the article I comment in detail on two Handbook articles, “Moral Motivation” by Timothy Schroeder, Adina Roskies, and Shaun Nichols, and “Character” by Maria W. Merritt, John M. Doris, and Gilbert Harman. Both articles illustrate the perils as well as the promise of reliance on empirical studies for …
Circular Justification And Explanation In Aristotle, Owen Goldin
Circular Justification And Explanation In Aristotle, Owen Goldin
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
Abstract Aristotle’s account of epistēmē is foundationalist. In contrast, the web of dialectical argumentation that constitutes justification for scientific principles is coherentist. Aristotle’s account of explanation is structurally parallel to the argument for a foundationalist account of justification. He accepts the first argument but his coherentist accounts of justification indicate that he would not accept the second. Where is the disanalogy? For Aristotle, the intelligibility of a demonstrative premise is the cause of the intelligibility of a demonstrated conclusion and causation is asymmetric. Within the Posterior Analytics itself, Aristotle does not account for this, but elsewhere he develops the resources …
