  • Philosophical Pragmatism and the Pursuit of Perfection: an Intellectual History of Barack Obama’S Foreign Policy
    Philosophical Pragmatism and the Pursuit of Perfection: An Intellectual History of Barack Obama’s Foreign Policy Jonathan Middleton A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History September 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived therefrom must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract This thesis explores the role played by philosophical pragmatism in shaping Barack Obama’s approach to foreign policy. Extending the efforts of James Kloppenberg’s Reading Obama into the foreign policy sphere, the thesis posits that such an approach is more fruitful for understanding Obama’s foreign policy presidency than previous efforts which have tended to employ conventional IR categories to situate Obama. This is a work of intellectual history, taking seriously the notion that we can draw understanding of actors in the past through the ideas and contexts which shaped their modes of thinking. This effort will thus place key Obama-era foreign policy issues in their proper intellectual context. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars, crises in Libya and Syria, the “Pivot to Asia,” and the controversial use of drone technology in a continued counterterrorism effort will each be examined. Obama’s engagement with philosophical pragmatism will not be argued as being a Deus ex machina - that which explains all - but instead forms an explication for a mode of thought that is complex and varied, but crucially, also best captures the essence of the central Obamian effort at reconciling those same contradictions.

  • A Focused Comparison of Suetonius's Life of Augustus and the Gospel
    religions Article Are the Gospels “Historically Reliable”? A Focused Comparison of Suetonius’s Life of Augustus and the Gospel of Mark Michael R. Licona Department of Theology, Houston Baptist University, Houston, TX 77074, USA; [email protected] Received: 2 February 2019; Accepted: 22 February 2019; Published: 28 February 2019 Abstract: Are the Gospels historically reliable? Authors of ancient historical literature had objectives for writing that differed somewhat from those of modern historians. Consequently, the literary conventions that were in play also differed. Therefore, it is difficult to speak of the historical reliability of ancient texts without certain qualifications. In this essay, a definition for the historical reliability of ancient texts is proposed, whereby such a text provides an accurate gist, or an essentially faithful representation of what occurred. Four criteria that must be met are then proposed. Suetonius’s Life of the Divine Augustus and the Gospel of Mark, are then assessed by using the criteria. Suetonius was chosen because he wrote more closely than his peers to how modern biographers write, and the Augustus was chosen because it is the finest of Suetonius’s Lives. The Gospel of Mark from the Bible was chosen because it is probably the earliest extant account of the “Life of Jesus.” The result of this focused comparison suggests that the Life of Augustus and the Gospel of Mark can be said to be historically reliable in the qualified sense proposed. However, an additional factor challenging this conclusion is described, and further discussion is needed and encouraged. Keywords: Gospels; Gospel of Mark; Suetonius; Life of Augustus; historical reliability 1.

AUTHENTICITY CERTIFIED: Text version below transcribed directly from audio They said this day would never come. 1,2 Here is something none of my predecessors ever got a chance to say: Welcome to the White House the World Series Champion Chicago Cubs! Now, I know you guys would prefer to stand the whole time, but sit down. I will say to the Cubs: It took you long enough. I mean, I’ve only got four days left. You’re just making it under the wire. Now, listen, I -- I made a lot of promises in 2008. We’ve managed to fulfill a large number of them, but even I was not crazy enough to suggest that during these eight years we would see the Cubs win the World Series. But I did say that there’s never been anything false about hope. Hope. The audacity of hope. Audience Member: Yes, we can!

Johnson © 2016 Matthew M. Johnson Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2016 ii The dissertation of Matthew M. Johnson was reviewed and approved* by the following: William S. Carlsen Professor of Science Education Director of Graduate and Undergraduate Education, C&I Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Gregory J.

McDonald Associate Professor of Science Education Director, Krause Innovation Studio Dan Sykes Senior Lecturer Director of Analytical Laboratory Instruction Christine M. Cunningham Special Member Founder and Director, Engineering is Elementary Vice President, Museum of Science, Boston, MA *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Recent reform documents in science education have called for teachers to use epistemic practices of science and engineering researchers to teach disciplinary content (NRC, 2007; NRC, 2012; NGSS Lead States, 2013). Although this creates challenges for classroom teachers unfamiliar with engineering, it has created a need for high quality research about how students and teachers engage in engineering activities to improve curriculum development and teaching pedagogy. While framers of the Next Generation Science Standards (NRC, 2012; NGSS Lead States 2013) focused on the similarities of the practices of science researchers and engineering designers, some have proposed that engineering has a unique set of epistemic practices, including improving from failure (Cunningham & Carlsen, 2014; Cunningham & Kelly, in review).
