  • The History and Philosophy of Social Science
    The history and philosophy of social science A landmark in its field, this book attains the most exacting scholarly standards whilst making the history of the social sciences enjoyable to read. Scott Gordon provides a magisterial review of the historical development of the social sciences. He examines the problems which confronted the great thinkers in their attempts to construct systematic theories of social phenomena. At the same time, he presents an authoritative survey of the major writers in the fields of economics, sociology and political science. Separate chapters are devoted to particular topics of special significance such as the nature of sociality, the idea of harmonious order, the conflict between progress and perfection, the methodology of history and the relation between biology and the social sciences. In the concluding chapter, the author examines the main lines of thought that have developed in the philosophy of science since the breakdown of logical empiricism, and he shows how the scientific investigation of social phenomena differs from the methodologies of the physical and biological sciences. This bold new synthesis of the different traditions in the social sciences is at once a major contribution and a superb overview. Scott Gordon is a Distinguished Professor at the Department of Economics and a Professor at the History and Philosophy of Science Department, Indiana University. He is also Professor of Economics at Queens University, Canada. He is the author of Welfare, Justice and Freedom (1980) and of numerous journal articles and has spent a lifetime researching questions in the history and methodology of the social sciences.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

Dean of the Graduate College PREFACE This work, as is often the case, is not the dissertation I intended to write when I first began graduate school. In 1974 I visited Jack London's Beauty Ranch in Glen Ellen, California; I saw the remnants of a fief. As I immersed myself in London's literature, I began to see that much of it is science fiction: political and social extrapolations. To understand London's fiction in its largest sense, one has to go beyond the traditional interpretations of London as a realist or naturalist. In the process of expanding my approach to London I concurrently began to redefine my ideas of science fiction, shifting my emphasis from the "hard core" sciences to the social sciences. From this perspective, the scientific and pseudoscientific temper on the American scene at the beginning of the twentieth century posed a challenge to existing social and political institutions, and to elu­ cidate London's story of the challenge and his fictional extrapolations is the primary purpose of this work.

  • THE CITYSCAPE and the MODERN GAZE in BOGOTÁ, 1930-1950 by CESAR AUGUSTO PEÑA IGUAVITA DISSERTATION Submitted in Partial Fulfi
    THE CITYSCAPE AND THE MODERN GAZE IN BOGOTÁ, 1930-1950 BY CESAR AUGUSTO PEÑA IGUAVITA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art Education in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Paul Duncum, Chair Professor Dianne Harris, Co-Chair Professor Michael Parsons Professor Oscar Vázquez ii Abstract In recent years Colombia has attracted worldwide attention for its promising economy, for its flourishing cities, and more recently because of the peace talks with rebel groups. In spite of its thriving economy, Colombia is among the Latin American countries with the highest levels of inequality. Scholars from different fields have addressed this problem and it has also become part of the national agenda to find strategies to reduce the gap between rich and poor. Through the analysis of cityscapes and representations of the built environment produced during the 1930s and 1940s in Bogotá, this research presents an approach from the perspective of aesthetics to the problem of inequality. Through discourse analysis this dissertation shows how the images produced during the early capitalist period of Bogotá reflect the social tensions and configured a scenario of symbolic violence that would lead to the actual violence that erupted by the end of the 1940s. The results show the correlation between one type of violence and the other and how they would settle the basis to silently perpetuate a system of classes and inequality reflected in the cityscape.

Claims in modern criticism for the social value of aesthetics, like the claim that aesthetics is an ideology enabling exploitation, tend to rely on terms that have evolved from 1890s aestheticism. This dissertation joins other recent attempts to recover a more textured account of Romanticism’s many and competing ideals of the beautiful in nature and art. It tracks the development of eighteenth-century moral philosophy into early physiology, and reveals surprising motivations behind certain “extreme” or “immature” Romantic experiments with the resources of verse history. Arthur Hallam coined the phrase “sensation poetry” in his famous 1831 Tennyson review to describe poems by Hunt, Keats, Shelley, and the young Tennyson that use novel formal design to emphasize the sensorial effects of reading.
