The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

in this issue. . .

AS THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY begins its third year of publication, the editors present an issue containing articles on our customarily wide variety of subjects. In this issue, however, we present our first discussions of American education. In view of the fact that this journal is the successor to The Educational Leader published by this college for over twenty years, it may seem a little strange that it has taken us so long to arrive at this point. The explanation is an easy one: we have made it a rule to use only the best of …

in this issue. . .

WITH this number, THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY rounds out its second volume and thus completes two years of publication. It seems obvious to the editors at least that this milestone has more significance than the mere issuance of the eighth consecutive number of our quarterly. In a very real sense, this publication has reached a kind of maturity, the basic evidence of which is contained in the table of contents in this issue. From its inception, it has been our aim to offer a broad selection of articles on various subjects of contemporary significance. Throughout our …

in this issue. . .

THIS is the political spring of a political year. The "first hundred days" of the Kennedy Administration are about to become history, and there are other activities on the American and the midwestern scenes which are essentially political in nature and/ or origin. The Centennial of Kansas statehood has officially begun, and the Centennial of the American Civil War likewise. More importantly, rank-and-file Americans seem to be taking more interest in political activities and problems than is their usual wont, although this may be only a seasonal thing, what with state legislatures in session as …

The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

in this issue. . .

THIS is a historic month, and the editors of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY have perforce taken this fact into account in selecting the material appearing in this issue. The presidential elections are behind us, and a new national administration will be inaugurated on the twentieth of this month. On the twenty-ninth, Kansans will observe the centennial of statehood and inaugurate a year of celebrations of all sorts for this important midwest milestone. In a sense, this month of January, 1961, is a meeting point for the Old Frontier of the Kansas past and the New Frontiers …

The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

in this issue. . .

WITH this number, THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY begins its second year of publication. Everything considered, the editors face the future with confidence. Subscription renewals have been coming in all summer, and even more important, unsolicited manuscripts from all over have been arriving with increasing frequency.

This first issue of Volume II contains articles on a variety of subjects of rather strong current interest. The editors have taken into account several incontestable facts in selecting these discussions for publication. This issue appears a short month before the American presidential election. This month marks the 125th anniversary of …

The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

in this issue. . .

WITH this number, THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY rounds out Volume I and in effect reaches a kind of maturity. Like the April issue, this fourth number moves our horizons further out by broadening the scope of material published. Once more the editors are able to offer a fairly wide variety of intellectual fare for our discerning readers. While the April issue saw us embark for the first time on the wine-dark sea of verse, this issue carries us further with contributions from two poets who write in the modem mood. And, manuscripts already in hand indicate, …

The Midwest Quarterly; Vol. 1 No. 3, David G. Barry, Jerome Cushman, Stuart Levine, Reed Schmickle, Clay P. Malick, Charles E. Guardia

The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

in this issue. . .

THIS NUMBER of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY moves our horizons out beyond any previous measure. While our first two issues have contained solid material on a variety of subjects from a diversity of minds, the basic criticism of them has been that the Social Science area was somewhat overrepresented. Even a casual check of our contents will bear out this charge. Therefore, it is with considerable satisfaction and even relief that the editors offer this issue-with only one contribution from the Social Sciences. The scope of subject matter is broader in this issue than it has …

FEW AMERICANS who have not visited Canada, our closest friend and ally to the north, have much appreciation for the fact that Canada is a separate and distinct sovereign nation, broad in expanse, magnificent in her natural endowments, and peopled with far more than red-coated members of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. It was the editor's privilege to visit the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta in the summer of 1957 as director of a field trip whose personnel were basically Kansans, many of them school teachers in the Sunflower State. It was little short …

Even before Vice President Richard M. Nixon had announced his mission to Russia, the editors of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY had been fortunate in securing the manuscript of the lead article in this issue. With interest in the U.S. S. R. as high as it currently is, this rather charming autobiographical report of the life and hard times of a Russian peasant seems extremely appropriate for publication. In plain, unvarnished language it gives a painfully detailed picture of the grim problems its author encountered as his country passed from revolution to world war and into the …

Dogen And Bankei And A Study Of The Soto Zen, Kazumitsu W. Kato

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The reason I am writing this dissertation is to introduce another side of Zen, Soto, which is completely unknown in the Western world; and at the same time to bring Dogen's teaching to the attention of Western scholars, since it is famous in Japan as the most profound branch of the philosophy of Zen. Unfortunately, none of Dogen' s teaching has yet been translated into English except Masunaga's private publication given above. Therefore I am taking this opportunity to translate and to add a commentary of my own for the better understanding of Dogen as well as the historical survey …

Xiii. Political Liberalism And Nationalism, 1815-1871, Robert L. Bloom, Basil L. Crapster, Harold A. Dunkelberger, Charles H. Glatfelter, Richard T. Mara, Norman E. Richardson, W. Richard Schubart

Section XIII: Political Liberalism and Nationalism, 1815-1871

The first half of the nineteenth century saw the emergence of two secular faiths which became key features of Western thought: political liberalism and nationalism- Their tenets were not wTiblly ne^ As~early as the lourteenth century when medieval feudalism was giving way to the rising national state, Marsiglio of Padua (c. 1275 - c, 1343) had announced that political authority was properly lodged in the people. The seventeenth century had produced in John Locke (1632-1704) a man whose ideas on government later became a wellspring for political liberalism. The same era also found nationalism accentuated by colonial rivalries and mercantilist …

Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) is the lst Englishman with whom we shall deal in this chapter. His life spanned the years from the Enlightenment almost up to the Victorian Age (1837-1901). His thoughts as well as his dates make him a useful transitional figure. [excerept]

Indigenous Philosophy In The Valley Of Mexico, John F. Newcomer

Philosophy ETDs

This study has been undertaken in the hope of helping to open new avenues of research in both philosophy and anthropology, avenues that have heretofore been largely overlooked. It has used as an example the pre-Conquest culture-complex of the Valley of Mexico. It is not intended to be an exhaustive exposition of every aspect of that complex, for that would take it out of the realm of philosophy and too far into that of anthropology. It is rather an examination of the salient features of Aztec culture in a philosophical light. It begins with a discussion of primitive philosophy in …

Humane Education, Lillian Maude Mathewson

The purpose of this thesis is to present an analysis of the developement and present status of humane education in the United States, its administration, aims, and methods. The field of humane education has this peculiarity, that while it has gained almost universal recognition as an important element in the child’s experience, it has as a general rule been provided not by the school itself but by an outside agency in cooperation with the school authorities. The reference is to the work of numerous state and city humane societies who have carried on as a part of their activities a …

Theodore Roosevelt - Preacher Militant His Political Philosophy As Proclaimed In His Speeches, Evelyn Hanshaw

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The age of chivalry with its color and romance is remembered usually as a story-book existence which is pleasant and exciting to read about. Forgotten too often are the ideals and the splendid code of conduct which actuated the heroic deeds. It cannot be said that all knights wore admirable and incorruptible, but out of their period, embodied in its literature, has come to us a way of life. Sir Galahad, St. George, Arthur--whichever one is called to mind-- each want through life fighting relentlessly, sometimes foolishly, but always gloriously against impossible odds as he pursued his ideal. Courageous and …
