The Norm Of Morality, Francis J. Laczniak
The Norm Of Morality, Francis J. Laczniak
Bachelors’ Theses
Acts are termed human when they are proper to man as man,when on the contrary they are elicited by man but not proper to him as a rational agent, they are called acts of man. Human act is one that is accompanied with freedom and deliberation of the will. Some acts in the abstract are neither good nor bad for they are neither conformable nor contrary to a moral norm, and these are said to be indifferent. It is universally admitted that there are actions that are morally good and actions that are morally evil. We can bring that out …
Epicureanism In The Georgics, Ruth Agnes Crawford
Epicureanism In The Georgics, Ruth Agnes Crawford
Bachelors’ Theses
Vergil, the Latin poet who has had more influence on literature throughout the ages than any other Latin writer, was born in 70 B.C . He lived during the reign of Augustus Caesar, which was a time of peace and great prosperity. Augustus, in furtherance of his country's prosperity, encouraged literature and raised it to a standard previously unknown in Roman history. Vergil, then, wrote under very favorable circumstances. This era which produced so much culture fostered three philosophies which naturally influenced all the writers of the time. It is only reasonable to suppose that Vergil was affected by one …
The Use Of The Chemico-Pathology Laboratory In The Dental Clinic, Matilda Mary Steinbrecher
The Use Of The Chemico-Pathology Laboratory In The Dental Clinic, Matilda Mary Steinbrecher
Bachelors’ Theses
The reason why the practice of dentistry is sometimes criticized to-day is because it was separated from the practice of medicine at a time when mouth disorder as a cause of systemic disease was not recognized, and mechanical restoration of teeth was made the foundation of dentistry. The keynote in judging a man's ability was by the expertness of his mechanical skill. This attitude toward dentistry, not only by the medical men but by the laity as well, has been a regrettable weakness in the dental profession. The dentist's work was regarded as entirely mechanical and for the purpose of …
The Dramas Of Claudel: A Study Of Mysticism., Margaret Frances Ryan
The Dramas Of Claudel: A Study Of Mysticism., Margaret Frances Ryan
Bachelors’ Theses
Do to the fact that Paul c·1audel is still living, and is still in the prime of life, there has been no extensive work done by critics and biographers on this author and his works. There have been, as yet, no entire books written on the subject. It has been said that no man is ever acknowledged to be really great until after his death. Perhaps this holds true in the case of Paul Claudel, man of a affairs and -writer of miracle plays. In France, hie native country, he is known as a great poet by many, but due …
On The Beautiful And Its Relation To The Good, John Joseph Jermain
On The Beautiful And Its Relation To The Good, John Joseph Jermain
Bachelors’ Theses
When one essays a dissertation on some profound subject, such as The Beautiful and its relation to the Good, he may well begin with an analysis or exposition of the Beautiful. The first question to be answered is, "What do men mean when, viewing some object or event, they say, 'That is beautiful?'" They express themselves in these words when there is present to them some landscape tinted with the sun is fair rays or affording the mellow moonbeams an object upon which to shower their splendor. The fine arts, painting, sculpture, architecture and music evoke such an expression of …
Valuable An Permanent Home Circulation For Daily Newspapers Is Best Acquired And Retained By The Exercise Of The Best Business Methods And Ethics And Application Of The Principle That The Newspaper Should Be Wanted For Itself Or For Something Which Is An Integral Part Of It, Thomas Riddell Sankey
Bachelors’ Theses
Wholesome tradition is an asset to an institution, a. nation or a business. Edmund Burke's famous epitome of the journalistic world and the oft used and much abused quotation, "The pen is mightier than the sword," in addition to -all the Col. Henry Wattereone, Daniel DeFoes and other purse-poor but quixotic knights of the copy pencil have cast over the newspaper calling a glamour of romance and wonder. To the layman the newspaper reporter is either a courageous knight-errant protected by a shining buckler of righteous courage, or a devil-may-care picaro with a taste for bright lights and late hours.
History And Development Of The Platoon School, Marquerite G. Lentzner
History And Development Of The Platoon School, Marquerite G. Lentzner
Bachelors’ Theses
At every change in its evolution, education has been made to fit the needs of society. The oldest organized system of education is found in China. From earliest times education in some form has existed there, and for 3,000 years it has been a matter of national importance. It is now maintained on legitimate grounds that schools and colleges existed in China 4,000 years ago. These were not state institutions, for China never had a system of national schools, or more strictly speaking, schools supported by the state. For seven years in the schools of the old regime in China, …
A Comparison Of Cicero’S And St. Thomas’S Treatises On The Immortality Of The Human Soul, Clare Carmelita Quirk
A Comparison Of Cicero’S And St. Thomas’S Treatises On The Immortality Of The Human Soul, Clare Carmelita Quirk
Bachelors’ Theses
Among the countless lessons which man perforce must learn in life's school, none is more impressive, none in a sense, more easily learned than the lesson of death. For look where he may, turn where he will, the fact of death confronts him everywhere. Death, too, speaks in the language of pain, in the keen anguish of partings, in the tongueless sorrow of bruised and lonely hearts. And the language of pain man cannot but hear, for it sears its message on his. soul, and though he should close his ears, he cannot shut his heart. Death, man cannot disregard.
How A Course Of Study In Spelling Should Be Made, Carrie E. Schwartz
How A Course Of Study In Spelling Should Be Made, Carrie E. Schwartz
Bachelors’ Theses
The primary object of the teaching of spelling is to supply the present and adult needs of the child. The present needs are the words most frequently used in the writing done in school, either in the children's themes or in their examinations. Their adult needs are the words most frequently written in life outside the school; in writing personal or business letters.
The Morality Of Nationalism, John Ambrose Walsh
The Morality Of Nationalism, John Ambrose Walsh
Bachelors’ Theses
A few short years ago the world was suffering from the most brutal and destructive war it had ever known. We had boasted of our civilization; we had attempted to establish a tribunal for world peace; we had talked of settling differences by means of arbitration. Meanwhile every European nation (and some non-European nations) were girding themselves for war and increasing their armament. School books were lauding national heroes to the skies and painting patriots of other nations in blackest hue. Germans were singing "Deutschland Uber Alles", and English were singing "Rule Brittania". Germany, Austria, and Italy had one secret …
Mysticism In The Metaphysical School Of Poets, Jessie Donaldson Corrigan
Mysticism In The Metaphysical School Of Poets, Jessie Donaldson Corrigan
Bachelors’ Theses
In the desire to transcend the physical world, men of every age have set foot upon the "Mystic Way". This desire, which is a thing internal and intuitive, has been called the "instinct for transcendence." Once upon the mystic way, "the wistful eyes of Life are set towards a vision that is also a Home - a Home from which news can reach us now and again."
Shakespeare And The Aristotelian Katharsis Specifically Studied In The Plays Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, And Macbeth, Meta Charlotte Kortebein
Shakespeare And The Aristotelian Katharsis Specifically Studied In The Plays Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, And Macbeth, Meta Charlotte Kortebein
Bachelors’ Theses
In studying Shakespeare with a view to his complying with Aristotle’s idea of the Tragic Katharsis it is primarily necessary to have a clear conception of the meaning of Katharsis and Aristotle's valuation of its function in the tragedy. After such knowledge has been firmly acquired it will facilitate a reading of Shakespeare from the standpoint of Katharsis.
Influences That Went To The Making Of Edmund Burke In His Career As An Orator, James Crowley
Influences That Went To The Making Of Edmund Burke In His Career As An Orator, James Crowley
Bachelors’ Theses
Edmund Burke looms before us through the mist of years as a prodigy of eloquence and knowledge; devoted to the good or his country; an unselfish and disinterested patriot; a sage whose moral wisdom shines far beyond his own generation and century. He was the most remarkable man who has taken part in public affairs, from the thrilling days of our Revolution down to the present time. The life and principles of so great, a man are a fascinating study to all admirers of the work he accomplished. If history has any interest or value, it is to show the …
The Beautiful, Richard Frederick Kegel
The Beautiful, Richard Frederick Kegel
Bachelors’ Theses
"I don't know much about Art,but I know what I like'! is the hedonistic philosophy,the cause of the degradation of the fine arts whose end is the creation of beauty. The logical conclusions of this view are astonishing; Beauty is made a servile thing to be used for our pleasure;its value is made purely utilitarian. Beauty suffers the same fate dealt to truth and goodness. To say "I know, what I like", implies, I see a thing not because it is beautiful but because I love it,which is the next step to not seeing a thing that is beautiful because …
The Technique Of Cervants’S “Novelas Ejemplares”, Charles Henry Siegmund
The Technique Of Cervants’S “Novelas Ejemplares”, Charles Henry Siegmund
Bachelors’ Theses
This story starts out in the first paragraph with a striking description of what constitutes a gypsy. According to Cervantes’s conception, a member of this tribe is simply surrounded by all the possible circumstances, from birth to death, that will directly contribute to his thievish make-up for which he is universally known. No better definition of a gypsy could be given by any lexicographer. Putting such a descriptive definition into the mind of the reader at once, before going into the real story, is a clever literary procedure, or technique; for, in this manner, the mind is thoroughly impressed with …
Philosophical Aspects Of Divorce, Irvin L. Kahellek
Philosophical Aspects Of Divorce, Irvin L. Kahellek
Bachelors’ Theses
The question of divorce is one that is becoming more and more weighty each day. A great number of sound thinking people have realized an evil therein, but have based their conclusions on religious belief, accepting theology as a reason for its illiceity without further question. If they fall from their religion they can see no reason why divorce is not licit, and because of a great modern exodus from the guiding principle of religious code, one is met on all sides by the cry that divorce is licit. It is our purpose to show from a purely reasoned standpoint …
There Exists A Natural Law, Cornelius Merten
There Exists A Natural Law, Cornelius Merten
Bachelors’ Theses
A 1 aw la primarily a rule of action, according to which a being acts; it is a summation of observed uniform phenomena; a record of uniform unvarying occurrences; sort of habits in nature. Thus, investigators of the natural sciences, hold it to be an established truth, that all nature is ruled by universal and constant laws, and that the object of natural sciences is to search out these laws, and to make plain, their reciprocal relations in all directions. Newton, the greatest natural philosopher, discovered the law of gravitation, by which, all bodies attract in direct proportion to their …
Evolution And Philosophy, Arlo A. Mckinnon
Evolution And Philosophy, Arlo A. Mckinnon
Bachelors’ Theses
In the discussion of any major topic, much feeling and little logic make for inevitable confusion. And so it was that when in 1925 John T. Scopes, an obscure teacher of secondary school natural sciences in Tennessee, took it upon himself to instruct his pupils in certain theories of so-called Evolution, he precipitated an argument of national scope. For on March 23d of that same year Governor Austin Peay of Tennessee had signed an Anti-Evolution bill which forbade any public school of the state ”to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine creation of man as taught …
The Ethical Principles Underlying Abortion, Lewis Dominic Thill
The Ethical Principles Underlying Abortion, Lewis Dominic Thill
Bachelors’ Theses
At the present day one quite often hears a discussion of birth-control. And it is interesting to note how varied and shallow are the ethical opinions put forth by those in favor of it. The advocates of abortion seem to have but the vaguest notion of the Natural Law, forgetting that morality is not made in its fundamental principles by personal whim or religious creed, but by the requirements of Divine Order, which must forever prevail. Abortion is practiced in some degree by the laity without the intervention of a physician. Very often, however, it is prescribed by medical men …
Attacks On The Idea Of Substance, Alex Wilmer
Attacks On The Idea Of Substance, Alex Wilmer
Bachelors’ Theses
The attacks on the validity of the Scholastic idea of substance have their origin in the false theory of knowledge of Descartes and its step-child the Idealism of Locke, Berkeley and Hume. The attack on the validity is to some extent due to a failure to understand the idea of substance, but to a greater extent to the false theory of knowledge that logically developed from Descartes philosophy.
The Tendencies Of American Philosophy During The Nineteenth Century., Lawrence Anthony Sadlek
The Tendencies Of American Philosophy During The Nineteenth Century., Lawrence Anthony Sadlek
Bachelors’ Theses
Before giving a detailed description of the tendencies of American thought during the nineteenth century, I shall give a brief outline of the philosophic tendencies before this time. Puritanism was the dominant school of thought in America during the first century of our existence, and did not die out till the time of the American Revolution. It's chief principles were the passivity of man, determinism and pessimism. They considered man a dull--instrument in the hands of God and his acts predestined; his life was a vain show and this world a vale of tears. They_ believed in a deity separate …
The Will Of Man, Harris George Aschenbrener
The Will Of Man, Harris George Aschenbrener
Bachelors’ Theses
In the popular philosophy of today, namely Materalistic Evolution, attempts have been made to explain everything as the result of the forces of "matter and motion". In rejecting all that the sages of old have offered towards the explanation of phenomena, there are certain problems which are stumbling blocks to this form of philosophy. Many and various theories have been offered but none has been found that will satisfy. Realizing their inability to explain these problems, one of their number has summed them up and termed them seven riddles for which science has no answer, and which will always remain …
A Comparative Study Of The Stoicism Of Seneca And Marcus Aurelius, Helen Caroline Boemer
A Comparative Study Of The Stoicism Of Seneca And Marcus Aurelius, Helen Caroline Boemer
Bachelors’ Theses
Socrates it was who taught men to think aright, to love knowledge and goodness, to realize the worth of friendship, courage and wisdom. To him as a consequence many subsequent philosophers went for their ideas. Hence after his death we find that many schools of philosophy came into existence. Besides the schools of Plato, Aristotle and Epicurus, there arose also the Cynic School of Antisthenes and the Megaric School of Euclid, all of which incorporated some of the fundamental doctrines of Socrates or contained elements of pre-Socratic systems, modified by the influence of their common master.
Criteria Of Morality, Thomas Francis Flynn
Criteria Of Morality, Thomas Francis Flynn
Bachelors’ Theses
Here is a paradox. The child is father to the man, and philosophically considered, this is doubly true. During that short journey between the advent of that immaculate 'tabula rasa' and the age of reason, the 'homo sapiens' accepts great truths and rests satisfied, seeming to grasp intuitively the profound logic and recondite study behind them. For example, the child of four or five years is apprehended in the replete pantry busily consuming a jar of jam; mother reprimands it severely,saying that it should not do such a thing. "Why?", is the spontaneous and wholly innocent question. "Because jam is …
Is The Criminal Morally Responsible?, Donald Ryan
Is The Criminal Morally Responsible?, Donald Ryan
Bachelors’ Theses
Re live today, but tomorrow shall judge us by the criterion of yesterday, by that norm which is universal, eternally and abidingly true, the end of man completely and objectively considered. We say that we have progressed. We gaze in derision at primitive man, at the barbarians, at our ancestors, and at the natives of out-of-the-way places today. Yet well may they pity us, for if we have advanced so much farther than they, our responsibility for our talents is proportionately greater. Whether we have progressed or not, I shall not discuss; but assuming such a fact on the basis …

The Influence Of Montaigne On English Essay Writers, Howard E. Graham
The Influence Of Montaigne On English Essay Writers, Howard E. Graham
Bachelors’ Theses
It is usually the case that men, who have lived in the past, are remembered down to the present day for one particular reason, and if it were not for this, their names would have long since been forgotten. It is unusual to find a person who is accomplished and excels in several lines of work. It is true that Michael Angelo was a great painter and sculptor, and wrote beautiful sonnets.
Platonic And Aristotelian Universal Concepts, George E. Toner
Platonic And Aristotelian Universal Concepts, George E. Toner
Bachelors’ Theses
Presenting a subject as abstract as that of Universal Concepts would indeed be tiresome, were it not for the direct almost personal contact with two of the greatest sages that found their problems and solved them while Philosophy was still in its infancy. Plato and his brilliant scholar Aristotle stand out as radiant figures on a somber background, for they did not think for their own age only. Even today in what is called this modern day and age, frequent reference is made to one or another of their theories. It seems strange that pupil and master should have been …
There Is A Natural Law, Ambrose H. Sullivan Jr.
There Is A Natural Law, Ambrose H. Sullivan Jr.
Bachelors’ Theses
Is this great cosmos in which we live controlled by blind unintelligent forces? Is it possible to concede that the unity of action of the forces of nature is the result of chance? Can the effect so produced be the result of mere accidental causes? There seems to be a lack of consistency between cause and effect, if such is the case. We cannot dismiss this by saying that it just happened! That is just evading the issue. Let us get down to bed rock principles and face this problem with an unprejudiced and unbiased mind. We have immediate and …
The Scholastic Concept Of The Human Soul, Harold Vincenz Shoenecker
The Scholastic Concept Of The Human Soul, Harold Vincenz Shoenecker
Bachelors’ Theses
"If not here, then elsewhere," (Stoddard). Judging from a purely physical and material basis, death seems to be the end of all; but if we fix our thoughts upon that bit of consciousness within us, that something which recognizes the Moral Law within our breasts, that, which at some time or other has asked in many ways, "whence have I come, and whither will I go?", that something, does it exist? The mere fact that our consciousness prompts us along these lines, ought to encourage us to continue the thinking process, and look a little deeper into the questions, and …
