    Philosophical Disputations at the University of Tartu Õäìó–ÕßÕþ: Boundaries of a Discipline Meelis Friedenthala,c , Pärtel Piirimäe b,c aUniversity of Tartu Library bInstitute of History and Archaeology, University of Tartu c Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study e article focuses on the denitions and divisions of philosophical disciplines in the disputations presented at the University of Tartu during the rst two periods of its existence: Academia Gustaviana (Õäìó–Õä¢ä) and Academia Gustavo-Carolina (ÕäÉþ–ÕßÕþ). e classications of philosophy in Tartu are studied in the context of competing traditions of classifying knowledge and the spread of novel pedagogical methods in early modern Europe. ese trends were also reected in the univer- sity statutes that were directly borrowed from the University of Uppsala, the par- ent institution of the academy in Tartu. e article shows that a strong emphasis on Ramist methods of teaching in the Õäìó constitution and a similar prominence given to Aristotelianism in the ÕäÉ constitution aected, to some extent, the pri- orities given to certain disciplines in the faculties but did not always determine the division of responsibilities between professors nor the conceptual tools and con- tents of instruction. Keywords: history of philosophy, history of universities, classication of knowledge, Ramism, Aristotelianism, University of Tartu, early modern period Õ. Introduction: Systems of knowledge in early modern Europe In early modern European academia, new dialectical or logical methods were introduced with the aim of constructing philosophical systems to fa- cilitate the introduction of a given subject to students. Classication and denition were viewed as two of the three central purposes of logic, or as in- struments of human knowledge (next to inductio or demonstration) (Freed- man ÕÉÉÉ, ó).

(average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. New! Under the Midnight Sun: Sami Lapland, Norway & the Arctic Circle itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: There was something intangibly magical about Lapland. Maybe it was the midnight sun, the endless rugged tundra, or the welcoming nature of the Sami people. All I know is that there was a true sense of Arctic magic everywhere I went, especially when I met an indigenous Sami family on their reindeer farm. As we explored the farm, they introduced me to their way of life and traditions dating back thousands of years. I was saddened to hear that their ancient culture is under threat from two forces: the construction of an Arctic Railway through Sami territory and Sami youth deviating from their traditional lifestyle. You’ll hear about these challenges as well when you meet with a Sami family on their reindeer farm. In the regions I travel to around the world, the stories of the people who live and work there are the most distinct and poignant experiences. You’ll meet with a local educator in Oslo to hear about July 22, 2011—the harrowing terrorist attack on this city—and their personal account of this day.

  • Russia –​ Art Resistance and the Conservative-​Authoritarian Zeitgeist
    i Russia – Art Resistance and the Conservative- Authoritarian Zeitgeist This book explores how artistic strategies of resistance have survived under the conservative- authoritarian regime which has been in place in Russia since 2012. It discusses the conditions under which artists work as aesthetics change and the state attempts to define what constitutes good taste. It examines the approaches artists are adopting to resist state oppression and to question the present system and attitudes to art. The book addresses a wide range of issues related to these themes, considers the work of individual artists and includes some discussion of contemporary theatre as well as the visual arts. Lena Jonson is Associate Professor and a Senior Associate Research Fellow at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs. Andrei Erofeev is a widely published art historian, curator, and former head of the contemporary art section of the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia. ii Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series Series url: www.routledge.com/ Routledge- Contemporary- Russia- and- Eastern- Europe- Series/ book- series/ SE0766 71 EU- Russia Relations, 1999– 2015 From Courtship to Confrontation Anna- Sophie Maass 72 Migrant Workers in Russia Global Challenges of the Shadow Economy in Societal Transformation Edited by Anna- Liisa Heusala and Kaarina Aitamurto 73 Gender Inequality in the Eastern European Labour Market Twenty- five Years of Transition since the Fall of Communism Edited by Giovanni Razzu 74 Reforming the Russian Industrial Workplace
