Josiah Royce: Partial Bibliography 1 Josiah Royce: Partial Bibliography 1 Josiah Royce: Partial Bibliography Compiled by André De Tienne © 2013–2016 The principal focus of the present bibliography is the secondary literature on Royce. For the most part, listed articles and books have some aspect of Royce’s life, thought, and writings on any subject as their main topic, not as a tangential one. The compilation provided here remains permanently a work in progress. One of its shortcomings is that it does not list reviews of books on Royce, with rare incidental exceptions. Users of this collection of references are encouraged to bring any error to the compiler’s attention, as well as to share relevant references that are missing, or to provide the exact references to their own recent Royce-related publications.

  • Giving up the Enkratic Principle
    Giving Up the Enkratic Principle (forthcoming in Logos and Episteme) The Enkratic Principle enjoys something of a protected status as a requirement of rationality. I argue that this status is undeserved, at least in the epistemic domain. Compliance with the principle should not be thought of as a requirement of epistemic rationality, but rather as defeasible indication of epistemic blamelessness. To show this, I present the Puzzle of Inconsistent Requirements, and argue that the best way to solve this puzzle is to distinguish two kinds of epistemic evaluation – requirement and appraisal. This allows us to solve the puzzle while accommodating traditional motivations for thinking of the Enkratic Principle as a requirement of rationality. Keywords: Enkratic Principle; coherence; evidence; rationality 1. The Enkratic Principle The Enkratic Principle demands coherence. In the epistemic domain, it demands coherence between the agent’s beliefs about which epistemic attitudes she ought to have, and her first- order1 epistemic attitudes2. According to the orthodox view, the Enkratic Principle is a 1 ‘First-order’ is not the ideal term. By ‘first-order’ I mean epistemic attitudes whose content does not concern what we ought, rationally, to believe. 2 These could include believing, disbelieving, refraining from believing, suspending, or having a particular credence in a proposition. 1 requirement of epistemic rationality3. Reading O as “rationally required”, Φ as representing a doxastic attitude, and B as representing belief, the principle can be stated as follows: Enkratic Principle: O (BOΦ → Φ) The Enkratic Principle says that rationality requires either having the attitudes you believe you ought to have, or giving up the belief that you ought to have those attitudes.

  • Bibliotheca Sacra
    Critical Noles. [Jan. ARTICLE X. CRITICAL NOTES. ROYCE'S "CONCEPTION OF GOD.") THIS work is a report of a discussion held before the Philosophical Union of the University of California in 1895. It coittains the leading address of the symposium by Professor Royce; remarks, critical and con­ structive, by the other participants in the discussion; and finally a sup­ plemental essay by Professor Royce in which he develops more thor­ oughly his central doctrine, and replies to his critics. It is apparent, from Professor Royce's introductory remarks, that the Philosophical Union of the University has beeu studying his work, "The Religious Aspect of Philosophy." .. Were there time, I should be glad indeed if I were able to throw any light 011 that little book. But my time is short. The great problems of philosophy are pressing. It is the death of your philosophizing if you come to believe anything merely be­ cause you have once maintained it. Let us lay aside, then, both text and tradition, and come face to face with ollr philosophical problem it­ self" (pp. 5, 6). This seems to breathe a spirit of admirable candor; but if, as we shall find later, the conclusions of Royce's present discussion are utterly irreconcilable with his results in .. The Religious Aspect," it would seem more candid, and also a saving of time, at least for the stu­ dents of the Philosophical Union, to recognize and deal thoroughly with this fact at the outset. In seeking a philosophical conception of God, Royce begins with the idea of an Omniscient Being.

  • Nationhood in Citizenship Tests and Loyalty Oaths
    Nationhood in Citizenship Tests and Loyalty Oaths: Evidence from Austria, Denmark, and the Netherlands. by Benjamin Tjaden Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Nationalism Advisor: Dr. Anton Pelinka Budapest, Hungary 2014 CEU eTD Collection Abstract In the last decade, several European states added citizenship tests and loyalty oaths to the naturalization procedure. One current in the literature asks why states adopt citizenship tests and loyalty oaths. To evaluate the purpose of tests and oaths I analyze conceptions of nationhood in Austria, Denmark, and the Netherlands. I focus on legal definitions of ‘the nation’ as an object of loyalty and an object of knowledge. I find three distinct patterns. The Austrian ‘nation’ is defined by an 18th-20th century historical narrative, the Danish ‘nation’ is defined by people-oriented nationalist ideals, and the Dutch ‘nation’ is defined by banal lifestyle norms. I argue in each case the adoption of citizenship tests and loyalty oaths is largely symbolic, however, in certain cases they may be a form of immigration control. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgements I acknowledge a debt to Kerry Hunter and Jasper LiCalzi who without words provided reminders and direction. I am thankful for the late-night help of my parents, Jane Zink and Kevin Tjaden, the support of my brother and sisters, and the opportunity to study at Central European University. Last, I am grateful to have shared this year with Sayyokhat Dushanbieva whose kindness made an excellent foil for a stressful year.

The Loyal Republic: Traitors, Slaves, and the Remaking of Citizenship in Civil War America. University of North Carolina Press, $34.95 ISBN 9781469636320 In a contemporary moment rife with accusations of collusion and treason, the blithe use of the pardon power, and near daily reminders that the U.S. government teeters on the verge of a constitutional crisis, Erik Mathisen’s The Loyal Republic: Traitors, Slaves, and the Remaking of Citizenship in Civil War America is lamentably opportune. A research associate at Queen Mary University of London, Mathisen examines how ideas of loyalty informed understandings of citizenship before, during, and after the Civil War. He argues that though it would eventually lose its political luster in the post-war period, allegiance became the “animating principle of wartime citizenship,” a development which he suggests redefined how Americans conceived of their relationship to the American state (4-5). With Mississippi as his narrative home-base, Mathisen thus introduces the reader to a Civil War landscape in which oaths of allegiance and acts of fealty delineated membership in a body politic re-made by war.

  • The Case for Political Loyalty Is Unknown, but One Thing Allison M

Dowell ·itories to make drastic ABSTRACT This paper proposes the idea of loyalty being a force that must be chosen and given freely, as well as the demand for political loyalty to be selfless concept. The first part of the paper uses examples from the HBO series Rome to illustrate how loyalty works within society, as well as the works· of modem political scientists Jean Hampton, mat of Palestine Christopher W. Morris, and W.L. Newman to explain the faults within these examples of loyalty. The essay than moves on to Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Politics to explain tine." Google better where the concept of political loyalty comes from, and the importance of this loyalty to a just state. Through the use of these various authors, the thesis that political loyalty is necessary is explored and confirmed. Movement. New When civil war threatens in the HBO series Rome, the character Lucius Vorenus is presented with a unique dilemma: Stay loyal to his legion (Caesar's famous 13th) or stay loyal to Pompey and the 1flict: a Beginner's Republic. Vorenus, in the end, was forced into loyalty of the 13th because he had been injured and cared for by the 13th and therefore was assumed to be on the side of the 13th when he recovered. Some might argue that because he is on the side of the 13th due to the inability to choose, the War, and the loyalty involved is not true, just loyalty.

  • The Hiring of James Mark Baldwin and James Gibson Hume at Toronto in 1889
    History of Psychology Copyright 2004 by the Educational Publishing Foundation 2004, Vol. 7, No. 2, 130–153 1093-4510/04/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/1093-4510.7.2.130 THE HIRING OF JAMES MARK BALDWIN AND JAMES GIBSON HUME AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO IN 1889 Christopher D. Green York University In 1889, George Paxton Young, the University of Toronto’s philosophy professor, passed away suddenly while in the midst of a public debate over the merits of hiring Canadians in preference to American and British applicants for faculty positions. As a result, the process of replacing Young turned into a continuation of that argument, becoming quite vociferous and involving the popular press and the Ontario gov- ernment. This article examines the intellectual, political, and personal dynamics at work in the battle over Young’s replacement and its eventual resolution. The outcome would have an impact on both the Canadian intellectual scene and the development of experimental psychology in North America. In 1889 the University of Toronto was looking to hire a new professor of philosophy. The normally straightforward process of making a university appoint- ment, however, rapidly descended into an unseemly public battle involving not just university administrators, but also the highest levels of the Ontario govern- ment, the popular press, and the population of the city at large. The debate was not pitched solely, or even primarily, at the level of intellectual issues, but became intertwined with contentious popular questions of nationalism, religion, and the proper place of science in public education. The impact of the choice ultimately made would reverberate not only through the university and through Canada’s broader educational establishment for decades to come but, because it involved James Mark Baldwin—a man in the process of becoming one of the most prominent figures in the study of the mind—it also rippled through the nascent discipline of experimental psychology, just then gathering steam in the United States of America.

  • The Philosophy of Loyalty
    29 The Philosophy of Loyalty I. The Nature and the Need of Loyalty One of the most familiar traits of our time is the tendency to revise tradition, to reconsider the foundations of old beliefs, and some­ times mercilessly to destroy what once seemed indispensable. This disposition, as we all know, is especially prominent in the realms of social theory and of religious belief. But even the exact sciences do not escape from the influence of those who are fond of the reexamination of dogmas. And the modern tendency in question has, of late years, been very notable in the field of Ethics. Conven­ tional morality has been required, in company with religion, and also in company with exact science, to endure the fire of criticism. And although, in all ages, the moral law has indeed been exposed to the assaults of the wayward, the peculiar moral situation of our time is this, that it is no longer either the flippant or the vicious who are the most pronounced or the most dangerous opponents of our moral traditions. Devoted reformers, earnest public servants, ardent prophets of a coming spiritual order,-all these types of lovers of humanity are represented amongst those who to-day demand great and deep changes in the moral standards by which our lives are [The complete text of The P!Jilosopby of Loyalty is reprinted here from PL.] 8 )6 MORAL AND RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE to be governed. We have become accustomed, during the past few generations,-during the period of Socialism and of Individualism, of Karl Marx, of Henry George, of Ibsen, of Nietzsche, of Tolstoi, -to hear unquestionably sincere lovers of humanity sometimes de­ claring our traditions regarding the rights of property to be im­ moral, and sometimes assailing, in the name of virtue, our present family ties as essentially unworthy of the highest ideals.

  • Gender and Modernity in Transnational Perspective: Hugo Munsterberg and the American Woman
    Gender and Modernity in Transnational Perspective: Hugo Munsterberg and the American Woman RENA SANDERSON INTRODUCTION TN ONE OF THE FIRST and best-known collections of cultural criticism in .LAmerica, Civilization in the United States (1922), Harold Stearns begins his chapter on "The Intellectual Life" with this widely quoted passage: When Professor Einstein roused the ire of the women's clubs by stating that "women dominate the entire life of Amer- ica," and that "there are cities with a million population, but cities suffering from terrible poverty - the poverty of intellec- tual things," he was but repeating a criticism of our life now old enough to be almost a clichi. Hardly any intelligent foreigner has failed to observe and comment upon the extraordinary femi- nization of American social life, and oftenest he has coupled this observation with a few biting remarks concerning the intel- lectual anaemia or torpor that seems to accompany it. Stearns goes on to argue that, in the case of America's feminization, "the spontaneous judgment of the perceptive foreigner is to a remarkable de- gree correct."1 By invoking the foreigner's perspective, Stearns was try- ing to impart a certain freshness to what would otherwise have been old news. Although Stearns was speaking of Einstein, his description of the "perceptive foreigner" applies even more fittingly to another German- Jewish intellectual, Hugo Munsterberg (1863-1916).2 Starting some two decades prior to the publication of Civilization in the United States, Mun- sterberg surveyed many of the same phenomena treated in that anthol- ogy and anticipated many of its criticisms of American culture.

  • 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.
