Cognitive Disabilities, Forms Of Exclusion, And The Ethics Of Social Interactions, Kevin Timpe
Cognitive Disabilities, Forms Of Exclusion, And The Ethics Of Social Interactions, Kevin Timpe
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
Cognitively disabled individuals have been marginalized by our larger culture; they’ve also been marginalized in philosophical discussions. This paper seeks to begin correcting this situation by examining how assumptions which shape our social interactions and expectations disadvantage individuals with a range of cognitive disabilities. After considering Rubella syndrome and autism in detail, I argue that we have a moral obligation to change how we approach social interactions with cognitively disabled individuals.

The Reality Of Our Rebellion With Dr. Rebecca Deyoung, Rebecca Konyndyk Deyoung
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
Rebecca DeYoung has extensively researched the topic of sin, and while sin and rebellion might not seem like the most encouraging topics, we hope you’ll see in this conversation that as we grow in awareness of our brokenness, we only grow in our recognition and awe of God’s grace to us despite our sin! We pray that as you listen to this conversation you come to a deeper understanding of what God has rescued us from.

The Moment Of Study In Learning That Resists Neoliberalism Body Gesture, Time, And Play, Clarence W. Joldersma
The Moment Of Study In Learning That Resists Neoliberalism Body Gesture, Time, And Play, Clarence W. Joldersma
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
The essay develops a case study about a young boy playing with a toy train to address neoliberalism’s problematic discourse that depicts learning as instrumental, as something that can be caused by teaching. This paper’s perspective is enactive, taking the view that central to understanding learning is not the mind or brain working in isolation but involves the interrelationships between mind/brain, body, and world. The analysis revolves around the standing gap between teaching and learning, where navigating the gap involves a dynamic called ‘the moment of study.’ Three of Tyson Lewis’s ideas about study—body gesture, time, and play—are used to …

Moral Education In The Classroom: A Lived Experiment, Rebecca Konyndyk Deyoung
Moral Education In The Classroom: A Lived Experiment, Rebecca Konyndyk Deyoung
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
What would a course on ethics look like if it took into account Alasdair MacIntyre’s concerns about actually teaching students ethical practices? How could professors induct students into practices that prompt both reflection on their cultural formation and self-knowledge of the ways they have been formed by it? According to MacIntyre, such elements are prerequisites for an adequate moral education. His criticism of what he terms “Morality” includes the claim that most courses don’t even try to teach the right things. He charges that academic teaching has little if anything to do with character formation, whereas thick practices can transform …

Moral Ecology, Disabilities, And Human Agency, Kevin Timpe
Moral Ecology, Disabilities, And Human Agency, Kevin Timpe
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
This paper argues that human agency is not simply a function of intrinsic properties about the agent, but that agency instead depends on the ecology that the agent is in. In particular, the paper examines ways that disabilities affect agency and shows how, by paying deliberate attention to structuring the social environment around people with disabilities, we can mitigate some of the agential impact of those disabilities. The paper then argues that the impact of one’s social environment on agency isn’t restricted only to those agents that have disabilities, but also characterizes all human agency. All of our agency is …

Freedom And The Incarnation, Timothy Pawl, Kevin Timpe
Freedom And The Incarnation, Timothy Pawl, Kevin Timpe
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
In this paper, we explore how free will should be understood within the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation, particularly on the assumption of traditional Christology. We focus on two issues: (i) reconciling Christ's free will with the claim that Christ's human will was subjected to the divine will in the Incarnation; and (ii) reconciling the claims that Christ was fully human and free with the belief that Christ, since God, could not sin.
Executive Function, Disability, And Agency, Kevin Timpe
Executive Function, Disability, And Agency, Kevin Timpe
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
This paper considers how a number of particular disabilities can impact agency primarily by affecting what psychologists refer to as ‘executive function.’ Some disabilities, I argue, could decrease agency even without fully undermining it. I see this argument as contributing to the growing literature that sees agency as coming in degrees. The first section gives a broad outline of a fairly standard approach to agency. The second section relates that framework to the existing literature, which suggests that agency comes in degrees. The third section considers the psychological literature on executive function with a particular focus on how aspects of …

Practicing Hope, Rebecca Konyndyk Deyoung
Practicing Hope, Rebecca Konyndyk Deyoung
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
In this essay, I consider how the theological virtue of hope might be practiced. I will first explain Thomas Aquinas's account of this virtue, including its structural relation to the passion of hope, its opposing vices, and its relationship to the friendship of charity. Then, using narrative and character analysis from the film The Shawshank Redemption, I examine a range of hopeful and proto-hopeful practices concerning both the goods one hopes for and the power one relies on to attain those goods. In particular, I show how the film's picture of the role friends and friendship play in catalyzing …
Knowing The Standard American Diet By Its Fruits: Is Unrestrained Omnivorism Spiritually Beneficial?, Matthew C. Halteman
Knowing The Standard American Diet By Its Fruits: Is Unrestrained Omnivorism Spiritually Beneficial?, Matthew C. Halteman
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
This essay aims to challenge the standard [North] American diet's (SAD) default status in church and among North American Christians generally. It attempts to allay some common concerns about the suitability of food ethics as a topic for serious Christian discernment, and argues that SAD is not spiritually beneficial, drawing support from five traditional sources for Christian moral deliberation, including and especially general revelation and discernment of the fruits of the spirit.
Science And Religion Take Practice: Engaging Science As Culture, James K.A. Smith
Science And Religion Take Practice: Engaging Science As Culture, James K.A. Smith
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
This article argues that current paradigms in the theology/science conversation effectively treat “science” as if it were equivalent to “nature”—with detrimental effects for the encounter between Christian theology and the natural sciences. In contrast, I suggest that recognizing science as culture has important implications for reconfiguring the theology/science dialogue.
