Peirce’s writings on Plato. Peirce’s lifelong reading of Plato, and especially of Plato’s late dialogues in the 1890s, was influential in the development of Peirce’s Pragmatism. Peirce claimed that Plato misunderstood himself and was, late in his career, developing an evolutionary, three-level metaphysics and logic that anticipated Peirce’s Pragmaticism. The first half of the dissertation deals with Peirce and the history of philosophy. Chapters address the case for this study, Peirce’s method of studying the history of philosophy and his use of intellectual autobiography, and Peirce’s encounter with Platonism in America. A running theme throughout the dissertation is Peirce’s engagement with mysticism and American Transcendentalism, and especially with Emerson, Thoreau, and Henry James, Sr. Also discussed here is Peirce’s reception of stylometric analyses of the Platonic dialogues through Wincenty Lutoslawski’s Origin and Growth of Plato’s Logic. The section on stylometrics also briefly discusses Lewis Campbell and contemporary views on stylometrics in Brandwood, Thesleff, and Nails. The second half of the dissertation examines Peirce’s writings on particular Platonic dialogues and the consequences of those writings for Peirce’s Pragmaticism. Chapters cover the development of Peirce’s metaphysics, his ethics of inquiry, etymology and the ethics of terminology, and miracles and their relation to scientific and historical research. The chapter on miracles also examines the role Plato played in Peirce’s response to Hume on miracles. Individual chapters address Peirce’s writings on Plato’s Cratylus and Theaetetus. The Apology, Parmenides, and Sophist are also discussed. Especial attention is paid to Peirce’s unpublished manuscripts, as well as to his entries on “Platonic” and “Socratic” in the Century Dictionary, his own account of his debt to Aristotle, his intellectual autobiographies, and his manuscripts entitled “Metaphysical Axioms and Syllogisms,” “A Neglected Argument for the Reality of God,” “Philosophy and the Conduct of Life,” “On the Logic of Drawing History from Ancient Documents,” and “The Law of Mind.” Appendices include transcripts of Peirce’s unpublished partial translations of Plato’s Cratylus; a transcript of an unpublished letter from Peirce to Lady Welby on the Theaetetus; and a catalog of references to Plato in Peirce’s manuscripts. iii Table of Contents A Note on References

  • The Well-Trained Theologian
    THE WELL-TRAINED THEOLOGIAN essential texts for retrieving classical Christian theology part 1, patristic and medieval Matthew Barrett Credo 2020 Over the last several decades, evangelicalism’s lack of roots has become conspicuous. Many years ago, I experienced this firsthand as a university student and eventually as a seminary student. Books from the past were segregated to classes in church history, while classes on hermeneutics and biblical exegesis carried on as if no one had exegeted scripture prior to the Enlightenment. Sometimes systematics suffered from the same literary amnesia. When I first entered the PhD system, eager to continue my theological quest, I was given a long list of books to read just like every other student. Looking back, I now see what I could not see at the time: out of eight pages of bibliography, you could count on one hand the books that predated the modern era. I have taught at Christian colleges and seminaries on both sides of the Atlantic for a decade now and I can say, in all honesty, not much has changed. As students begin courses and prepare for seminars, as pastors are trained for the pulpit, they are not required to engage the wisdom of the ancient past firsthand or what many have labelled classical Christianity. Such chronological snobbery, as C. S. Lewis called it, is pervasive. The consequences of such a lopsided diet are now starting to unveil themselves. Recent controversy over the Trinity, for example, has manifested our ignorance of doctrines like eternal generation, a doctrine not only basic to biblical interpretation and Christian orthodoxy for almost two centuries, but a doctrine fundamental to the church’s Christian identity.

  • “Theology” from the Presocratics to Peter Abelard: Philosophy and Science
    Section Four PHILOSOPHY AND COSMOLOGY IN PERSONS ФилосоФия и Космология в лицах The word “Theology” from the Presocratics to Peter Abelard: Philosophy and Science. Some Remarks Mauro Ferrante1 — PhD Università degli Studi “Niccolò Cusano” — Telematica Roma (Rome, Italy) E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] The purpose of this paper is to reconstruct, through the analysis of some key moments, the evolution of the term “theology” within the Western philosophical thought. Starting with the first formulation by the Presocratics, the study takes into consideration both the first attestation of the term by Plato (in the second book of the Republic) and the role it plays in Aristotle’s works (Metaphysics). In its second part, the paper considers the importance of the term “theology” in the Latin world, through the study of the Augustine’s critic against the greek thinkers, which will lead to a further development in the Middle Ages. The point of arrival is Peter Abelard, who formulated a concept of “theology” conceived as a science. At first, the term was tied to a pagan conception of society and was devoid of any scientific connotation. With the advent of Christianity, it begins to take on an universalistic character connected with the concept of an absolute truth. It is here pointed out, through all of these antecedents, how, in the Middle Ages, when the “theology” became an autonomous science and responds to its own laws, how it is assumed and used as an instrument to manage both science and truth. Thanks to the contributions of the ancient philosophers, developed by medieval thinkers, it was possible to subsequently use the term “theology” also in a political sense.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • A Prologue to Charles Sanders Peirce's Theory of Signs
    In Lieu of Saussure: A Prologue to Charles Sanders Peirce’s Theory of Signs E. San Juan, Jr. Language is as old as consciousness, language is practical consciousness that exists also for other men, and for that reason alone it really exists for me personally as well; language, like consciousness, only arises from the need, the necessity, of intercourse with other men. – Karl Marx, The German Ideology (1845-46) General principles are really operative in nature. Words [such as Patrick Henry’s on liberty] then do produce physical effects. It is madness to deny it. The very denial of it involves a belief in it. – C.S. Peirce, Harvard Lectures on Pragmatism (1903) The era of Saussure is dying, the epoch of Peirce is just struggling to be born. Although pragmatism has been experiencing a renaissance in philosophy in general in the last few decades, Charles Sanders Peirce, the “inventor” of this anti-Cartesian, scientific- realist method of clarifying meaning, still remains unacknowledged as a seminal genius, a polymath master-thinker. William James’s vulgarized version has overshadowed Peirce’s highly original theory of “pragmaticism” grounded on a singular conception of semiotics. Now recognized as more comprehensive and heuristically fertile than Saussure’s binary semiology (the foundation of post-structuralist textualisms) which Cold War politics endorsed and popularized, Peirce’s “semeiotics” (his preferred rubric) is bound to exert a profound revolutionary influence. Peirce’s triadic sign-theory operates within a critical- realist framework opposed to nominalism and relativist nihilism (Liszka 1996). I endeavor to outline here a general schema of Peirce’s semeiotics and initiate a hypothetical frame for interpreting Michael Ondaatje’s Anil’s’ Ghost, an exploratory or Copyright © 2012 by E.

  • Axial Arguments Over God from Hellenistic Through Medieval Christianity
    Axial Arguments over God from Hellenistic through Medieval Christianity 1. Welcome to this next video lecture tracking the co-evolution of religion and technology. In this video we shall survey axial arguments over the existence of God in early and medieval Christian thought. In contrast to bronze age scribes whose calling was to preserve traditional oral myth and ritual, Christian scribes, still working within the church, but outside court and temple in the new axial scribal institution of the university, engaged in a metalevel, theoretical systematization and critique of Christian belief and practice. 2. As we saw in the first millennium translation of Christian belief into the axial categories of Hellenistic philosophy, Origen had offered a spiritual hermeneutics for the creation account in the book of Genesis. While his commentary on Genesis has not survived, we do have his commentary on the Prologue of John’s Gospel. We can also draw upon his own systematic work on Christian ontology, On First Principles (Peri Archōn). a. Origen argued for a theoretically informed narrative of creation. To summarize the cosmogenesis presented in the last lecture, Orgin argued that creation occurred in two stages. (1) The first creation was a purely spiritual cosmos, (2) a plērōma of pure spirits, as perfect an image of the divine as a created image could be. However as finite yet living forever, eventually these spirits would turn away from God. But how could pure spirits ever turn away from God? Because, as made in the divine image, they were also made in the image of God’s creative freedom, with the ability to make their own choices.

The entire dissertation is devoted to an extensive and in-depth analysis of this single paper in the form of commentary. All ¯fteen sections of the New List are examined. Rather than considering the textual genesis of the New List, or situating the work narrowly in the early philosophy of Peirce, as previous scholarship has done, this work pursues the genuine philosophical content of the New List, while paying attention to the later philosophy of Peirce as well. Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason is also taken into serious account, to which Peirce contrasted his new theory of categories. iii Table of Contents List of Figures . ix Acknowledgements . xi General Introduction 1 The Subject of the Dissertation . 1 Features of the Dissertation .

  • Sociosemiotics and Metalanguage: the Case of Translanguaging Linguistic Frontiers
    Linguistic Frontiers • 3(2) • 57—65 • 2020 DOI: 10.2478/lf-2020-0015 Linguistic Frontiers Sociosemiotics and Metalanguage: The Case of Translanguaging Original Study Anti Randviir Department of Semiotics, University of Tartu, Estonia. Received: July 2020 ; Accepted: September 2020 Abstract: The age of transdiscipinarity has brought along the fading of boundaries between disciplines. This has engaged both the fusion of metalanguages that are used for the description of cultures and sign-proce- sses, and the launch of novel proposals for metalinguistic vocabularies. In the case of the study of culture, communication and sign-processes, it is natural that all such developments are connected with the paradigm of semiotics. At times the relevant metalinguistic and methodological proposals challenge traditional semiotic vocabulary, methods and methodological truths. This has brought along the need to recall the semiotic roots of the study of semiosis and communication, and to review transdisciplinary metalanguage in order to avoid possible misinterpretations or unnecessary repetitions of the established agreements in the paradigm of se- miotics as a possible ground for transdisciplinary study of human interaction and cultural processes. Howe- ver, besides occasional theoretical confusion, the spread of the semiotic methodology and vocabulary across applied scholarship has enriched semiotics in its faculties of field studies. Keywords : sociosemiotics, metalanguage, transdisciplinarity, modality, multimodality, mediality, coding, semiosis, modelling, translanguaging. Contemporary scholarship has, both in the domain of studies were founded. Secondly, it is useful to recall the humanities and social sciences, as also in the so-called proximity of interdisciplinary studies and interdisciplinary hard sciences, passed a fairly clear transition from mono- education as proposed by American pragmatism.

Overview 1.1 Introduction The goal of this paper is to identify a viable analysis of the for use in semantic theories in ∗ the tradition of Montague (1974a,b). I shall argue that the sentiment expressed by Lewis (1983), and developed in more formal detail by von Heusinger (1997), is essentially correct, and that, when an analysis is placed in a suitable formal context, it is capable of accounting for a much greater range of phenomena than Lewis and von Heusinger consider. The basic claim is that the expression “the N” denotes the uniquely most salient N, when such an entity exists. I shall begin by enumerating every credible semantic effect attributed to “the” when used in connection with count nouns that I have encountered in the literature or noticed in the course of personal reflection on the subject. Sometimes several conflicting views on the same basic phenomenon will be condensed into one entry in the interests of compactness, and sometimes well known effects will be omitted altogether on the grounds that they seem not to be semantic at all, but to be of an entirely pragmatic, psychological, or metaphysical nature1. The decision to restrict my attention to count nouns is motivated by a desire to pick out a problem of reasonable size, and to avoid discussion of the difficult but tangential subject of the semantics of mass nouns. ∗ I would like to thank Rebecca Kuipers and David January for giving earlier drafts of this paper far more attentive readings than they were entitled to, J.

  • Peirce for Whitehead Handbook
    For M. Weber (ed.): Handbook of Whiteheadian Process Thought Ontos Verlag, Frankfurt, 2008, vol. 2, 481-487 Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914) By Jaime Nubiola1 1. Brief Vita Charles Sanders Peirce [pronounced "purse"], was born on 10 September 1839 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Sarah and Benjamin Peirce. His family was already academically distinguished, his father being a professor of astronomy and mathematics at Harvard. Though Charles himself received a graduate degree in chemistry from Harvard University, he never succeeded in obtaining a tenured academic position. Peirce's academic ambitions were frustrated in part by his difficult —perhaps manic-depressive— personality, combined with the scandal surrounding his second marriage, which he contracted soon after his divorce from Harriet Melusina Fay. He undertook a career as a scientist for the United States Coast Survey (1859- 1891), working especially in geodesy and in pendulum determinations. From 1879 through 1884, he was a part-time lecturer in Logic at Johns Hopkins University. In 1887, Peirce moved with his second wife, Juliette Froissy, to Milford, Pennsylvania, where in 1914, after 26 years of prolific and intense writing, he died of cancer. He had no children. Peirce published two books, Photometric Researches (1878) and Studies in Logic (1883), and a large number of papers in journals in widely differing areas. His manuscripts, a great many of which remain unpublished, run to some 100,000 pages. In 1931-58, a selection of his writings was arranged thematically and published in eight volumes as the Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce. Beginning in 1982, a number of volumes have been published in the series A Chronological Edition, which will ultimately consist of thirty volumes.

  • Two Books on the Victorian Interest in Hellenism
    Journal of The Faculty of Environmental Science and Technology, Okayama University Vo1.2, No.1, pp.169-174, January 1997 Two Books on the Victorian Interest in Hellenism Masaru OGINO* (Received October 29, 1996) In the 1980s there appeared two books about the Victorian attitude toward the ancient Greeks, or about how the Victorians felt about and incorporated the ancient Greek culture. The two books are Richard Jenkyn, The Victorians and Ancient Greece (Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 1980) and Frank M Turner, The Greek Herita.ge in Victorian Britain (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1984). Although they deal with the same subject, their approaches toward the subject are quite different from each other. In this paper, I will pick up two themes from each book- - "Greek Gods and Mythology" and .. Plato and his Philosophy" -- and see the difference in their approaches. 1. INTRODUCTION The Victorians and Ancient Greece by Richard Jenkyns and The Greek Herimge in Victorian Brimm by Frank M Turner- - these two books seem to be like each other; judging from their titles, they seem to give us the same kind of stories about the Victorian attitude toward the ancient Greece. But as it turns out, these two books are totally unlike each other. Of course, no two books are not, or should not, be the same, even if they treat the same subject matter. But in the case of the two books mentioned above, despite the identity of the subject matter- - the Victorians' approaches to the ancient Greeks- - they are almost diametrically different from each other. That is, although they deal with the same subject, their approaches to the subject are completely different Jenkyns' book gives us a general view of how the Victorians accepted the various heritages of the ancient Greek culture, while Turner's book, limiting itself to the main famous figures, gives an academic account of how the Victorians tried to understand the ancient Greeks and to incorporate them into their own age.
