12. Ліля (Lilya: Ukrainian Translation Of Elfie Novel), Matthew Lipman

Early Elementary School Curriculum

Ліля йде в перший клас і така сором'язлива, що не може говорити на уроці і навіть не може сформулювати запитання. Але мало що вислизає від неї, і її розум ламає голову над усім, що відбувається в класі та вдома. Коли директор пропонує конкурс, спрямований на вдосконалення міркувань, увесь її клас займається з’ясуванням того, як працюють речення та як створюються відмінності та зв’язки. У той же час Елфі та її однокласники виявляють багато відмінностей, фундаментальних для дослідження: видимість і реальність, одне і багато, частини і ціле, подібність і відмінність, постійність і зміна.

21. Руся (Rusya: Ukrainian Translation Of Pixie Novel), Matthew Lipman

Early Elementary School Curriculum

Руся — учениця початкової школи, яку спантеличили та захопили багато аспектів її досвіду. У цьому романі наголошується на взаємозв’язках (логічних, соціальних, сімейних, естетичних, причинно-наслідкових, частково-цілих, математичних тощо), а також на компетентності у вирішенні таких зв’язків. Етичні концепції включають суперництво між братом і сестрою, особистість, повагу до інших, дружбу, таємниці, дотримання обіцянок, стосунки між батьками та дітьми, слухняність, дражниння та автономію. Читачі знайдуть сторінки Руся, усипані філософськими ідеями та головоломками, які спонукають до жвавих роздумів у класі. У тексті є кілька порожніх сторінок, на яких маленькі читачі можуть спробувати свої сили в ілюструванні книжок.

13. Поміркуймо Разом: Посібник Для Викладачів. Додаток До “Ліля” Частина І [Let’S Think Together: A Guide For Teachers. Supplement To “Lila” Part I], Matthew Lipman, Ann Gazzard

Early Elementary School Curriculum

Когнітивні навички, які наголошуються в Ліля – розрізнення та встановлення зв’язків – це ті навички, на яких ґрунтується подальше міркування. Вони супроводжуються відповідними їм критеріями: однаковість і відмінність. Інші операції, такі як проведення порівнянь, виявлення одноманітності, ідентифікація класів, формування понять і формулювання визначення, все залежить від логічної інфраструктури цих двох наборів навичок і критеріїв. Тому Ліля слід розглядати як основу програми «Філософія для дітей».

The Cyborgian Self: Toward A Critical Social Theory Of Cyberspace, Michael Ian Borer

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[First paragraph]

Contemporary social theory currently remains at a virtual standstill, quivering over the decision to radically leave the past behind or to continue within the historical narrative of the Enlightenment. Postmodern social theorists, advocating the position that we have, in fact, entered a new historical epoch, pose serious challenges to our perception of modernity and cultural identity. As an influential strategy that has infiltrated both the humanities and the social sciences for more than thirty years, postmodernism can no longer be dismissed as merely a fad or trend. In a world where the use of complex, and often mobile, …

Rorty's Complicit American Neo-Pragmatism, Haidar Eid

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[First paragraph]

Despite the obvious French origin of poststructuralism, its paradigmatic resonance can be found in the American philosophical scene, an essential part of which is Richard Rorty's neo-pragmatism -- the theoretical basis of American (post)modernism. However, different from poststructuralism's apparent antagonism to the authoritarian establishments, Rorty adopts the Derridean poststructuralist motifs of the decentering of the subject, and the disappearance of meaning and truth in order to defend the establishment -- or rather, the status quo.

Live To Tell, Brad Kallenberg

Theology and Religious Studies Faculty Publications

In recent years, countless Christians have found evangelism a difficult and even baffling scriptural mandate. Those we encounter, particularly young people, are often entirely unfamiliar with the basics of the Gospel. Traditional means of communicating the faith, from cold-calling to mass-mailings, simply no longer speak the language of the culture.

Brad Kallenberg recognizes that evangelism, even in our own backyard, has become a cross-cultural task. Like missionaries serving in foreign countries, we must become "students of the host culture." Much more than a "sinner's prayer," conversion requires a change of social identity.

Indeed, becoming a follower of Christ involves gaining …

Review: 'Immovable Laws, Irresistible Rights: Natural Law, Moral Rights, And Feminist Ethics', Rebecca Whisnant

Philosophy Faculty Publications

This collection of Pierce's essays traces the evolution of her thinking about natural law theory--and, more broadly, about talk of "natures" as normatively significant--over a period of 30 years. We see her move from a wholesale rejection of such talk, in her influential 1971 piece "Natural Law Language and Women," to a qualified admission that it can have its liberatory uses. Yet she maintains throughout that, progressive potential or no, natural law is far inferior to Kantian notions of rights and autonomy as a foundation for ethical thought.

Dante's Thomistic Vision: The Commedia, Frank Muller

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

Dante's Commedia derives its form and content from the philosophy of St.Thomas Aquinas. It is a philosophical poemthat allegorically examines medieval moral theory, articulated in Aquinas' Summa Theologiae, in order to morally instruct the medieval layperson. This paper focuses mostly around the capital sin of pride due to its important place throughout the work and its efficacy in illustrating the link between Aquinas and Alighieri. The discussion of the sin involves providing Thomas' definition of pride and its opposite virtue, humility, in comparison with Dante's artistic representations. The overall goal is to present Dante's Commedia as an intricately philosophical work …

A Critical Examination Of The Philosophy Of Charles S. Peirce: A Defence Of The Claim That His Pragmatism Is Founded On His Theory Of Categories, Siosifa Ika

Theses

This thesis explores the relation in Peirce’s philosophy between his theory of categories and his pragmatism. My most central claim is that the possibility and validity of metaphysics as a philosophical science depend on the appropriateness of its method. I argue that an appropriate method for metaphysics is possible, and that in Peirce’s pragmatism as founded on his theory of categories we find such a method. In developing this thesis I seek to demonstrate four key propositions: 1. Peirce’s ‘pragmatism’ is fundamentally a form of metaphysical and epistemological realism and in this respect differs from logical positivism and other types …

Analisis Pemikiran Islam Dalam Karya Joesoef Sou'yb, Tirmizi

Student Works (2000-2009)

Islamic thought in the works of Joesoef Sou'yb is a continuation of Islamic thought which have ever developed since the Mu'tazilite, Syeikh Muhammad bin 'Abdul Wahhab and Syeih Jamaluddin al- Afghan,, Syeikh Muhammad 'Abduh with his disciple Muhammad Rasyld Rida. His thought is a combination of Mu'tazilite rationalism, Syeikh 'Abdul Wahaib's spirit of reformism one of the signal thought salaif Muhammad 'Abduh's Islamic reformism-modernism. All ideas have taken place in Joesoefs thought completely. The main reason for such difficult identification is mainly due to the fact that Joesoef has inadequate relevant knowledge to the issues discussed by him. His interest …

[Introduction To] On The Epistemology Of The Senses In Early Chinese Thought, Jane Geaney

Bookshelf

Sense perception, which is of enormous importance in Western philosophical traditions, has scarcely attracted the notice of scholars of early China. As a result of little direct comment on the senses in the Chinese philosophical classics, sinologists have generally interpreted their occasional references to sense functions in familiar Western philosophical terms. This original work challenges this tradition, arguing that despite the scarcity of direct comment on the senses in these sources, it is possible to discern early Chinese views of sensory functions from a close reading of the texts. Working with metaphorical and structural analysis, the author reconstructs an understanding …

Dreams Of Interpretation: Psychoanalysis And The Literature Of Vienna, Thomas Paul Bonfiglio

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

The first edition of Die Traumdeutung (translated as The Interpretation of Dreams, 1913) bears a publication date of 1900, although it actually appeared in Vienna in November 1899. This is consistent with the pivotal temporality of a work that looks retrospectively into the nineteenth century and prospectively into the twentieth. In 1931, Freud said of his first and arguably most important book, "It contains, even according to my present-day judgement, the most valuable of all the discoveries it has been my good fortune to make. " In terms of the influence not only on his later publications, but also …

(2002) Philosophy For Children In China: A Late Preliminary Anti-Report, David K. Kennedy, Walter Omar Kohan

Collected Papers of David Kennedy

We were part of a group of five academics visiting China in July 2000, in order to conduct two workshops in Philosophy for Children in two widely disparate cities - Kunming, in the ethnically diverse, far-from-Beijing southeastern province of Yunnan; and Shanghai, long known as the city where East meets West. Although we could not even read street signs, much less speak at all except through the kindness of interpreters, yet we sensed that Kunming and Shanghai were two different realities of contemporary China. The workshop in Kunming was conducted at the Southern Railway School, where P4C is being spearheaded …

Holism, Hermeneutics, And Heterophenomenology: A Critique Of Daniel Dennett's Intentional Stance, George Fletcher

All Volumes (2001-2008)

Heterophenomenology downplays the reality of the internal experiential aspects of consciousness in deference to an intentional, language-based model of consciousness that places emphasis on the neutral acceptance of the speech reports of subjects as the basis for understanding consciousness – thus placing the foundations of consciousness in a physical, monistic (physical sans soul), computational device (the brain). I shall argue that this methodology can be seen as a form of empathic extrapolation of self-understanding onto the other in dialogue, akin to the work of early hermeneutics. 11 This methodology is closely tied in with a contemporary connectionist conception of computability …

There's Got To Be A Better Way: Retribution Vs. Restoration, Jenna Lopes

All Volumes (2001-2008)

By examining the historical treatment of punishment and the results of those practices, we can more accurately diagnose the problems and prescribe the proper remedies. It is time that we focus on healing instead of simply treating the symptoms with catastrophic intervention. As with medicine, if a problem is detected and treated early the probability of recovery and a healthy life are much higher than beginning treatment after the body has become critically ill. I propose a holistic approach to the problem of crime and punishment and here, specifically, focus on the alternative to current correctional practices. The practice of …

Framing Intelligibility, Identity And Selfhood: A Reconsideration Of Spatio-Temporal Models, Sally Munt

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[First paragraph]

The relationship between intelligibility and identity over the past thirty years has largely been approached through the linguistic construct of the subject. Proposing that our subjectivities be theoretically comprehended (made intelligible) as discursive effects is now common sense. Poststructuralism, following particularly Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida and Jacques Lacan, has ensured that the subject is a cardinal category of contemporary thought; in any number of disciplines, it is one of the first concepts we teach to our undergraduates. But are we best served by continuing to insist on the intellectual primacy of the subject, formulated as it has been …
