Proclus‘ Multi-Level Ontology: The Meaning Of Monads Vs. A Tale Told By Thomists, Eric Perl Feb 2020

Proclus‘ Multi-Level Ontology: The Meaning Of Monads Vs. A Tale Told By Thomists, Eric Perl

Philosophy Faculty Works

Thomists regularly claim that Aquinas 'corrects' Proclus and the Platonists by eliminating intermediary terms between the first principle and sensible particulars, regarding such distinct terms as illegitimately hypostatized universals and instead locating them without distinction in God as 'ipsum esse'. But Platonic ideas and Procline monads are not hypostatized universals, but rather the ontological conditions for universal predication, not univocal with the attributes of particulars. They must be really distinct in order to ground the differences between kinds of things in the world. As such they are prior to particulars and posterior to the first principle, hence, 'intermediate.' They are …

The Many Kinds Of Objects That Technoscientific Objects Are, Hugh Lacey Jan 2020

The Many Kinds Of Objects That Technoscientific Objects Are, Hugh Lacey

Philosophy Faculty Works

Technoscientific objects are penetrating ever more profoundly into the socio-ecological systems that shape the contemporary lifeworld in ways that have brought about widely celebrated benefits, and also many kinds of risks for human health, the environment and society. There are many kinds of technoscientific objects, such as physical, chemical or biological objects that are outcomes of technical/experimental/instrumental interventions made in the course of research conducted in such areas as computer science, biotechnology, nanotechnology, neurosciences, geo-engineering, synthetic biology and artificial intelligence. Moreover, every technoscientific object is itself an object of many kinds, not only an object whose genesis, functioning and effective …

Philosophy And Theology: Gamete Donation, Christopher Kaczor Jan 2020

Philosophy And Theology: Gamete Donation, Christopher Kaczor

Philosophy Faculty Works

Moschella's thesis is that "gamete donation is inherently wrong insofar as it involves acting in a way that is highly likely to result in the acquisition of a non-transferable obligation to another person, without being willing to fulfill that obligation should it arise" (423). © 2021 The National Catholic Bioethics Center 829 Philosophy and Theology Some people think of gamete donation as a morally neutral act or even a praiseworthy act, like blood donation. In examining the ethics of gamete donation, Moschella looks to the nature of the relationship between children and parents, as compared with the relationship between biological …

Faith And Reason And The Consistent Ethic Of Life, Christopher Kaczor Jan 2020

Faith And Reason And The Consistent Ethic Of Life, Christopher Kaczor

Philosophy Faculty Works

The rich text of Evangelium vitae raises numerous themes of great importance, perhaps even greater importance now than at the time of its publication in 1995. This reflection looks at the relationship of faith and reason in Pope St. John Paul II’s Encyclical, and how both faith and reason help us to understand better the relationship among various issues important to the life and flourishing of the human person.

Encountering Cavell, Richard Thomas Eldridge Jun 2019

Encountering Cavell, Richard Thomas Eldridge

Philosophy Faculty Works

I first came across Stanley Cavell’s writing in the fall of 1974 in a senior seminar in the philosophy of mind at Middlebury College, co-taught by Stanley Bates and Timothy Gould. We spent most of the term reading Gilbert Ryle’s The Concept of Mind and P. F. Strawson’s Individuals—books that at that time, before the widespread reception of Kripke’s Naming and Necessity, Putnam-style functionalism, and central state identity theory, still counted as contemporary philosophy of mind. It was then felt by Bates and Gould, I conjecture, that something more lively and something having to do with subjectivity might be order. …


Brains In Vats? Don't Bother!, Peter Baumann Jun 2019

Brains In Vats? Don't Bother!, Peter Baumann

Philosophy Faculty Works

Contemporary discussions of epistemological skepticism – the view that we do not and cannot know anything about the world around us – focus very much on a certain kind of skeptical argument involving a skeptical scenario (a situation familiar from Descartes' First Meditation). According to the argument, knowing some ordinary proposition about the world (one we usually take ourselves to know) requires knowing we are not in some such skeptical scenario SK; however, since we cannot know that we are not in SK we also cannot know any ordinary proposition. One of the most prominent skeptical scenarios is the brain-in-the-vat-scenario: …


Science, Values, Traditional/Indigenous Knowledge And Dialogue Of Saberes, Hugh Lacey Apr 2019

Science, Values, Traditional/Indigenous Knowledge And Dialogue Of Saberes, Hugh Lacey

Philosophy Faculty Works

This article discusses the possibility of a constructive dialogue between modern science and traditional/indigenous saberes, including the saberes of the Traditional peoples of Latin America. The argument developed here depends on interpreting science in terms of multi-strategic research [P-MS]: it makes use of the distinction between decontextualizing strategies (SDs) and contest-sensitive strategies (SCs) and the theses: the methodological strategies adopted in research projects can vary with the characteristics of the objects being investigated; there are relations of mutual reinforcement between the adoption of a strategy and adherence to particular ethical and social values; there are limits on the types of …


Adoção De Medidas De Precaução Diante Dos Riscos No Uso Das Inovações Tecnocientíficas, Hugh Lacey Jan 2019

Adoção De Medidas De Precaução Diante Dos Riscos No Uso Das Inovações Tecnocientíficas, Hugh Lacey

Philosophy Faculty Works

Identifico medidas de precaução que devem ser adotadas para prevenir ou reduzir o risco dos efeitos danosos possivelmente ocasionados pelos usos das inovações científicas. Meu argumento se vale em especial de situações em que há incerteza a respeito dos riscos envolvidos. Sustenta que medidas eticamente adequadas precisam ser informadas pelos resultados das pesquisas científicas empreendidas (sob as estratégias metodológicas apropriadas) com o fim de identificar, tanto quanto possível, os efeitos danosos possíveis e a variedade dos mecanismos que levem à sua efetiva ocorrência, bem como as condições em que eles atualmente ocorreriam, e com qual magnitude e probabilidade, bem como …
