The Jamaica That Dreams: A Normative Application Of Developmental Theory, Tamoy Pitt Jan 2026

The Jamaica That Dreams: A Normative Application Of Developmental Theory, Tamoy Pitt

CMC Senior Theses

This thesis examines Jamaica’s persistent underdevelopment through Martha Nussbaum's normative application of the capabilities approach as per her conception in Creating Capabilities. Through this approach, the paper will argue that Jamaica’s underdevelopment is a result of the failure of its domestic institutions to provide all citizens with the substantive freedoms and capabilities necessary to live lives of dignity. Originally detailed by Amartya Sen in his book Development as Freedom, the capabilities approach posits freedom as both the means and ends to development while rejecting contemporary approaches to development such as GDP, Utilitarianism, or Rawlsian resource-based approaches as insufficient frameworks for …

Drawing And The Pursuit Of Progress In The Late 19th-Century Dominican Republic, Felix V. Rodriguez Suero Jan 2026

Drawing And The Pursuit Of Progress In The Late 19th-Century Dominican Republic, Felix V. Rodriguez Suero

Faculty Publications – Art

Eugenio Maria de Hostos, with the support of late 19th-century Dominican liberals, spearheaded the transition from scholastic education to an education grounded on scientific principles and liberal ideals. Through the discussion of four fundamental principles for drawing instruction in Hostos’s educational project, I examine why teaching young people drawing skills was central to his anticolonial political project. Drawing from decolonial and critical frameworks, I analyze the connection between art classes in schools and the political struggles to democratize and modernize Dominican society. I argue that, despite seemingly good intentions, the influence of Western philosophy and 19th-century scientific rationalism led Hostos …

Schelling & Spinoza, Michael Vater Jan 2026

Schelling & Spinoza, Michael Vater

Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications

Schelling is notorious for having a fluid vision of systematic philosophy and its methods. In an age where philosophy is expected to result in one or two books, not years of discussions with students and colleagues--and certainly not a distillation of one’s way of life--Schelling’s thought has been called protean or restless, or in Hegel’s snarky verdict “an education pursued in public.” The same could be said of Socrates. But there is a truth in these comments; it is difficult to find in fifty-six years of publications, addresses and abandoned manuscripts the single argument that is Schelling’s philosophy. What provokes …
