International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 17; September 2013 Francis Bacon´S Philosophy under Educational Perspective Gustavo Araújo Batista – PhD Docent at Master Degree Program University of Uberaba - Brazil Abeuntstudia in mores. Francis Bacon Abstract This article has as main objective to make a concise approach about Francis Bacon’s (1561-1626) philosophy, dimensioning it inside educational area. It will be done a summary explanation of his historical context (Renaissance), of some of his works and of some of the main topics of his philosophy, demonstrating its applicability to pedagogy. By developing a conceptual and contextual approach, this study has adopted as its theoretical-methodological reference the historical-dialectical materialism, according to Lucien Goldmann (1913-1970), appointing as main result the alert done by Bacon in relation to knowledge usefulness in order to improve human being´s lifetime, this knowledge that, identifying itself to power, it allows to mankind to dominate natural world and, equally, to itself, wining, so, its own weakness and limitations, because its own ignorance is the root of the evils of which suffer, as well as the material and spiritual difficulties in the presence of which it founds itself, reason for which education, by adopting that conception as one of its foundation, there will be thought and practiced in a way to be aware to the responsibility that knowledge brings with itself. Keywords: Education. Francis Bacon. Philosophy. Science. Introduction This text has as its objective to deal with, summarily, the thought of the English philosopher Francis Bacon (1561-1626), appointing, simultaneously, its convergences to educational field. -
Annotated Bibliography, Footwear and Tire Tread Analysis
November 16, 2011 SWGTREAD response to questions submitted from the NSTC Subcommittee on Forensic Science Research Testing Development and Evaluation Interagency Working Group. QUESTION 1 What literature exist that addresses the number of characteristics/identifying marks required to render a conclusion? No literature/studies could be found which specifically addresses the number of characteristics and/or identifying marks necessary to render a conclusion relating to footwear and/or tire track evidence. Impressions evidence practitioners agree that rendering opinions relative to footwear and/or tire track examinations must be based upon a combination of both class and individual characteristics. “Class characteristics of footwear and tires result from repetitive, controlled processes that are typically mechanical, such as those used to manufacture items in quantity”.1 Although defined similarly by various authors, Bodziak describes footwear class characteristics as “an intentional or unavoidable characteristic that repeats during the manufacturing process and is shared by one or more other shoes.”2 Individual characteristics are defined by Bodziak as “individual identifying characteristics that result when something is randomly added to or taken away from a shoe outsole that either causes or contributes to making that shoe outsole unique.”3 Often referred to as accidental characteristics, they can include cuts, scratches, gouges, holes, cracks, tears caused by extreme wear, or random inclusions that may result from manufacturing, such as bubbles, and other items or substances subsequently introduced to the outsole or tread, such as rocks, chewing gum, nails, tacks or small twigs. Footwear and tire tread examination practitioners agree that a specific number of individual or random characteristics are not necessarily needed to render an opinion. -
Proem Shakespeare S 'Plaies and Poems"
Proem Shakespeare s 'Plaies and Poems" In 1640, the publisher John Benson presents to his English reading public a Shakespeare who is now largely lost to us: the national author of poems and plays. By printing his modest octavo edition of the Poems: Written By Wil. Shake-speare. Gent., Benson curiously aims to complement the 1623 printing venture of Shakespeare's theatre colleagues, John Heminge and Henry Condell , who had presented Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies in their monumental First Folio. Thus, in his own Dedicatory Epistle "To the Reader," Benson remarks that he presents "some excellent and sweetly composed Poems," which "had nor the fortune by reason of their lnfancie in his death, to have the due accommodation of proportionable glory, with the rest of his everliving Workes" (*2r). Indeed, as recent scholarship demonstrates, Benson boldly prints his octavo Poems on the model ofHeminge and Condell 's Folio Plays. ' Nor simply does Benson's volume share its primer, Thomas Cores, wirh rhe 1632 Folio, bur both editions begin with an identical format: an engraved portrait of the author; a dedicatory epistle "To the Reader"; and a set of commendatory verses, with Leonard Digges contributing an impor tant celebratory poem to both volumes. Benson's engraving by William Marshall even derives from the famous Martin Droeshout engraving in the First Folio, and six of the eight lines beneath Benson's engraving are borrowed from Ben Jonson's famed memorial poem to Shakespeare in char volume. Accordingly, Benson rakes his publishing goal from Heminge and Conde!!. They aim to "keepe the memory of such worthy a Friend, & Fellow alive" (Dedicatory Epistle to the earls ofPembroke and Montgomery, reprinted in Riverside, 94), while he aims "to be serviceable for the con tinuance of glory to the deserved Author" ("To the Reader," *2v). -
Spenser, Donne, and the Trouble of Periodization Yulia Ryzhik
Introduction: Spenser, Donne, and the trouble of periodization Yulia Ryzhik The names Edmund Spenser and John Donne are rarely seen together in a scholarly context, and even more rarely seen together as an isolated pairing. When the two are brought together, it is usually for contrast rather than for comparison, and even the comparisons tend to be static rather than dynamic or relational. Spenser and Donne find themselves on two sides of a rift in English Renaissance studies that separates the sixteenth century from the seventeenth and Elizabethan literature from Jacobean.1 In the simplest terms, Spenser is typically associated with the Elizabethan Golden Age, Donne with the ‘metaphysical’ poets of the early seventeenth century. Critical discourse overlooks, or else takes for granted, that Spenser’s and Donne’s poetic careers and chronologies of publication overlapped considerably. Hailed as the Virgil of England, and later as its Homer, Spenser was the reigning ‘Prince of Poets’, and was at the height of his career when Donne began writing in the early 1590s. Both poets, at one point, hoped to secure the patronage of the Earl of Essex, Donne by following him on expeditions to Cadiz and the Azores, Spenser by hailing his victorious return in Prothalamion (1596). The second instalment of Spenser’s The Faerie Queene (also 1596) gives a blistering account in Book V of the European wars of religion in which Ireland, where he lived, was a major conflict zone, but it is Donne who travelled extensively on the Continent, including places where ‘mis-devotion’ reigned.2 Spenser died in 1599 and was buried with much pomp at Westminster Abbey as if poetry itself had died with him. -
The Epilogue of Tennyson's in Memoriam
THE EPILOGUE OF TENNYSON'S IN MEMORIAM: MARRIAGE AS A FORCE OF TRANSFORMATION By LIBBY STOTT YOUNG Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1980 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1984 Thes,;s ,q 8 l,1 '/1:')~ C.e:ir, ;i THE EPILOGUE OF TENNYSON'S MARRIAGE AS A FORCE OF TRANSFORi\fATION Thesis Approved ( 17dAh~ ~. J? eJ_J, Dean of the Graduate College PREFACE This study examines the imagery, scientific metaphor, and literary conventions that Alfred Tennyson uses in the Epilogue of In Memoriam, particularly those concern ing the power of marital love. The study discusses the aspects of disorder and order, death and life, and degen eracy and progress. It explores the connection of love with the force that transforms negative images into posi tive ones. The findings of the study are that Tennyson incor porates several literary conventions to convey that love can indeed transform disorder, death, and degeneracy into order, life, and progress. Tennyson draws upon pagan, Judea-Christian, and Renaissance literature. Scientific metaphor supports the power of love, and the images of the Epilogue incorporate and transform the images of the elegy. The members of my thesis committee have been splendid ly supportive and enlightening. I thank Dr. John Milstead, my advisor, for his example of intellectual vitality. I have been influenced by his example since my freshman year in college; during graduate school I have gained an increas ing appreciation of Dr. -

Edmund Spenser, George Turberville, and Isabella Whitney Read Ovid's
Edmund Spenser, George Turberville, and Isabella Whitney Read Ovid’s Heroides by M. L. Stapleton N the Heroides, perhaps the ancient world’s most prominent ex- ample of literary transvestism, Ovid adopts the personae of legend- Iary women who lament the amatory crimes of the men they love. It may have been some of the first poetry in Latin that Spenser encoun- tered, as it was for many schoolboys from the twelfth century onward, in accordance with its traditional pedagogical status, admirably docu- mented by Ralph Hexter. Since it was part of Eton’s Erasmian curricu- lum as early as 1528, its familiarity and centrality to Spenser, whom Richard Mulcaster inculcated with a similar humanism at the Merchant Taylors’ School, should not surprise. It served as a primary text for beginning Latin students in England through the nineteenth century. For early modern readers, it also served as a celebrated exemplum of the potential for inventive excellence by an ancient author in his juve- nile endeavors, another reason why the burgeoning New Poet would probably have read it. To Spenser and his innumerable poetical prede- cessors who sought to work meaningful improvisations on the tradi- tions they wished to embody in their work, Ovid’s cadre of mythical heroines (Lat. herois, - ides) exemplified doubly literate women—those See Hexter, Ovid and Medieval Schooling: Studies in Medieval School Commentaries on Ovid’s “Ars amatoria,” “Epistulae ex Ponto,” and “Epistulum heroidum” (Munich: Arbeo Ge- sellschaft, 1986), 137–204.

Saddam, Phone Your Mom!

If we could just get Saddam to phone his Mom, she'd yell "You getthehellouta Kuwait RIGHT NOW!" & (so goes the myth) he'd do it! A more nuanced, sophisticated version is that though she wouldn't do it, that would only be because her natural anti-war psyche had been corrupted by the androcentrism prevailing in her culture &, indeed, in all cultures for the past 5,000 - year "detour" of natural human evolution.... This Thinksheet is a bibliocritical review of Riane [Tennenhaus] Eisler's THE CHALICE & THE BLADE: OUR HISTORY, OUR FUTURE (H&R187188), a radical feminist antibiblical rewrite of history. Most radical feminist literature I only glance at / read reviews of, but I try to give a thorough read to any piece that is overtly antibiblical: that's why I call this review "bibliocritical." 1 A refugee from Hitler's spectacularly-disastrously androcentric Europe, perhaps she can be forgiven her spectacularly-disastrously gynecocentricity, which she labors to defend against the charge of gynarchy (usu. -

Spenserian Satire Spenserian
Spenserian satire Spenserian Spenser Sp enser Spenser Spenser Spenserian satire examines the satirical poetry of Edmund Spenser and argues for his importance as a model and influence for younger poets writing satires in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The book focuses on reading satirical texts of the period in relation to one another, with specific attention to the role that Edmund Spenser plays in that literary subsystem, in order to address several distinct audiences. For Spenser scholars, who recognize Spenser’s supremacy in “serious poetry” of the period and have carefully studied his influence on epic, pastoral and lyric poetry, the analysis of Spenser’s reputation as a satirical Spenserian satire poet will contribute to a fuller understanding of Spenser as “the poet’s Spenser poet.” For scholars of satire, the book offers a more detailed discussion and theorization of the type of satire that Spenser wrote, “indirect satire,” A tradition of indirection than has been provided elsewhere. Spenser’s satire does not fit well into the categories that have been used to taxonomize satirical writing from HILE the classical era up to the eighteenth century, but including him with the Sp complaint tradition is also imprecise. A theory of indirect satire benefits ense not just Spenser studies, but satire studies as well. For scholars of English Renaissance satire in particular, who have tended to focus on the formal verse satires of the 1590s to the exclusion of more r indirect forms such as Spenser’s, this book is a corrective, an invitation to recognize the influence of a style of satire that has received little attention.
