John William Miller and the Ontology of the Midworld by Robert S
John William Miller and the Ontology of the Midworld by Robert S. Corrington (Posted with the permission of the Charles S. Peirce Society and Robert S. Corrington. The essay originally appeared, in a slightly different form, in the Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society 22 [1986]: 165- 188. The pagination of this version does not conform to the pagination of the original document.) One curious feature of the American philosophical tradition is its ability to sustain and nurture fundamental reflection in an age in which such thinking is held to be antediluvian. The flood waters of scepticism and deconstruction seem to have rendered general categorical reflection powerless. Any talk about nature or world strikes contemporary fashion as a throwback to a pre-critical era in which philosophers naively trusted in their ability to overcome the imperial projections of a self which was unable, because of its fragmented state, to justify such projections. To attempt to reflect outside of the paradigm of the text is to evidence a serious insensitivity to the hermeneutic turn which has supposedly swept all historical debris from its path. The felony is compounded when it is asserted that the tradition of metaphysics has deposited recognizable and vigorous outcroppings of truth in its movement toward validation. What for some appears as a geological formation of great strength and beauty appears to the contemporary gaze as an obstruction to its open movement and hermeneutic free play. Were we to join in the chorus of doubting Thomases we would have little time for a perspective which affirms the ability of human probing to make sense of our history and our world. -

Now in its sixth year, the Clough Center has established itself as an interdisciplinary, innovative institution that seeks to reinvigorate and transform the study of the many facets of constitutional democracy. Our approach to the study of constitutionalism is holistic in nature and global in reach, as we foster original research and welcome thoughtful reflection on the promise and challenges of constitutional government in the United States and around the world. In this process, and in keeping with the vision of our benefactors and friends, Gloria and Chuck Clough, the Center offers life-changing educational opportunities to students at Boston College, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We aim to create a nurturing and vibrant intellectual environment for the entire academic community, and the public generally. At a time when public debate is too often distorted by the spin-room mentality, the fate of political communities committed to the ideals of freedom, dignity, and equality depends in large measure on learning the skills of civic engagement and thoughtful dialogue. -
A Field-Based Inquiry of Innovation Through Making and Craft
Handmade Future: A Field-based Inquiry of Innovation through Making and Craft Samantha Shorey A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Daniela K. Rosner, Chair Gina Neff, Chair Matthew Powers Christine Harold Megan Finn Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Communication © Copyright 2019 Samantha Shorey University of Washington Abstract Handmade Future: A Field-based Inquiry of Innovation through Making and Craft Samantha Shorey Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Gina Neff Department of Communication Daniela K. Rosner Department of Human Centered Design and Engineering This project analyzes the impact of mediated discourse on the skills, materials, and tools of innovation through a multi-method, three-part study of “making” practices— a growing method of Do-It-Yourself technology design that engages students, hobbyists, and experienced engineers in the building of technological artifacts outside of corporate hierarchies. Making integrates material skills (e.g. sewing, woodworking) and digital fabrication tools (e.g. 3D printing, laser cutting) to produce physical prototypes. These hybrid forms of construction hold significant promise as an inclusive method of innovation, acting as a pathway for women’s participation in technology design. However, if public conceptions of making neglect the contribution of craft and handwork, the potential for innovation will be reduced. This project contributes to existing scholarship in communication and science & technology (STS) studies by elucidating the mechanisms through which media produce symbolic value for technology industries and technology practices. Across this three-part project, I argue that when we expand popular narratives about the tools and practices of technology production, opportunities are also expanded to recognize the diverse contributions—both presently and historically—of people on the peripheries of STEM communities. -
Miller: the Man and His Philosophy by Joseph P
Miller: The Man and his Philosophy by Joseph P. Fell (Posted with the permission of Bucknell University Press and Associated University Presses, as well as Joseph P. Fell. The essay originally appeared in The Philosophy of John William Miller , 21-31. Ed. Joseph P. Fell. Lewisburg PA: Bucknell University Press, 1990. The pagination of this version does not conform to the pagination of the original document.) The American philosopher John William Miller was born in Rochester, New York on January 8, 1895. After attending public schools in Rochester, he studied at Harvard College in 1912-13. For financial reasons he transferred to the University of Rochester for the years 1913 to 1915, then returned to Harvard for his senior year, receiving his A. B. degree in 1916. After working for a year in a Rochester electric company he volunteered for ambulance corps duty in France with Base Hospital 44. In 1919, motivated to enter the field of philosophy by his experience of the First World War, he returned to Harvard as a graduate student in philosophy, receiving his master's degree in 1921 and his doctorate in 1922. Among his teachers were R. B. Perry and E. B. Holt, both of the realist persuasion, and W. E. Hocking and C. I. Lewis on the more idealist side; it was in the tension between these philosophical camps that Miller worked out his own stand.(1) From 1922 to 1924 Miller taught at Connecticut College, during which time he married Katherine S. Gisel. In 1924 he moved to Williams College where, apart from interludes of summer teaching at the University of Rochester and Boston University and serving as acting professor of philosophy at the University of Minnesota in 1938-39, he spent the balance of his teaching career. -

Heidegger suggests that Kant’s analysis of experience mistakenly universalizes a fraction of our experience: the experience of mechanical objects. I defend the merits of this suggestion by offering a careful reconstruction of Heidegger’s controversial interpretation of the imagination and applying this interpretation in detail to one of the most debated segments of the Critique of Pure Reason: the Second Analogy. In this chapter, Kant suggests that we must employ the concept of cause in order to be aware that an event (i.e. a change in states) has occurred. While Kant’s mechanical account of events captures our experience of mechanical objects, I argue that his analysis does not capture our experience of events initiated by humans. I suggest that we experience human events rather as components of an overarching project oriented toward some goal. 2009-2011 University of California at Riverside, Doctoral Program in Philosophy M.A. -
John William Miller and Josiah Royce
Idealist Affinities: John William Miller and Josiah Royce By Mark D. Moorman [Posted with permission of Mark D. Moorman. Presented at the 39th annual meeting of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy, New York City, March 15-17, 2012.] This paper will compare the philosophies of John William Miller and Josiah Royce with regard to philosophical idealism. We hope to highlight the idealist strain in Miller’s thought by showing some affinities with similar themes in Royce. The relaxed term “affinity” suits the vagaries of the term “idealism” itself.(1) Royce was well aware of this malleable breadth. Post-Kantian idealism, viewed in its whole range of manifestation, is not any one theory so much as a tendency, a spirit, a disposition to interpret life and human nature and the world in a certain general way—a tendency, meanwhile, so plastic, so manifold, so lively, as to be capable of appealing to extremely different minds, and of expressing itself in numerous hostile teachings.(2) The equivocity of the term idealism renders our comparison more a matter of loose ‘family resemblances’ than of clear cut categories. There is second difficulty with idealism as a point of comparison, its reputation. Discussing certain impediments to the reception of Miller’s work, Vincent Colapietro points out that Miller’s idealism is “likely to make him seem outdated and even quaint.”(3) Much of the revolt against idealism in the Twentieth century took the form of hasty ab extra dismissals which left caricatures and low regard in their wake.(4) Association with German idealism came to imply, not depth, but a lack of rigor. -
