However, special thanks are owed to my Committee. Dr. Leonard H. Ehrlich introduced me to the work of Karl Jaspers and inspired me to continue to study hermeneutics. After saying it could not be done, Dr. Jack L. Hruska helped me to do it; without his support, this dissertation could never have been completed. Dr. Jeffrey W. Eiseman stepped into the breach and agreed to chair the committee. He provided on-going thoughtful assistance and encouragement throughout the long process of preparing this dissertation. However, any and all shortcomings in the study are solely my responsibility. Thanks are due also to Dr. Janice Eldridge, who made it possible for me to carry a reduced teaching assignment in order to finish the dissertation, and to my colleagues at Springfield College, who increased their work in order to lighten mine. A special acknowledgement is owed to Tom 0 Connor and to my sons, Frank and Scott Heston. They withstood my absent-mindedness, limited time and attention, and general distractedness — and they did it with love. v ABSTRACT STRENGTHENING CONFLUENT EDUCATION THROUGH A PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS OF THE CONCEPT OF DIALOGUE: AN EXAMINATION OF THE WRITINGS OF MARTIN BUBER, HANS-GEORG GADAMER AND KARL JASPERS February, 1986 Roberta B. Heston, A.B., Smith College Ed.M., Smith College, Ed.D., University of Massachusetts Directed by: Professor Jeffrey W. Eiseman This dissertation is a study of the implications for education of the concept of dialogue as it is analyzed in the philosophical writings of Martin Buber, Hans-Georg Gadamer and Karl Jaspers. In Part I of the study, the philosophical writings on the concept of dialogue are analyzed to provide a set of guidelines for thinking about dialogue. The premise on which this work is based is that philosophical analysis of the concept of dialogue can enhance the effectiveness of confluent education, which attempts to integrate affect and cognition in the educative process. Part II of the dissertation attempts to demonstrate that an understanding of dialogue can provide both a general philosophical grounding for confluent education vi and specific implications pertaining to pedagogical obligations, teacher-student relationships, content selection, and teaching methodology. The premise on which this work is based is that education is most effective if it is ontologically rooted. From the philosophical perspective used in this study, human beings self-actualize through and in dialogical relation¬ ships. To be ontologically rooted, education must include dialogue as a central dynamic. Three pedagogical obligations that follow from this perspective are: first, education should heighten students" awareness of themselves as unique, emergent, self-actualizing persons; second, education should enhance students" understanding of the human tradition; third, education should enhance students" ability to participate in dialogical relation¬ ships . The teacher-student relationship described models a dialogical relationship in an education setting. Content selection is discussed from the perspective that content is a tool for self-actualization and, as such, should help the student understand the human tradition in a personally meaningful way. The possibility of implement¬ ing a variety of teaching methods from a dialogical orientation is discussed. A specifically dialectical- dialogical teaching approach predicated on Gadamer s philosophical hermeneutics is described. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgement v Chapter I.

This linkage of educational reform with improving society is a pattern that persists, often amid scathing criticisms of whatever type of education prevails. Yet, what all visions, however diverse, have in common is the hope that educa¬ tional reform can serve as a corrective for social ills, produce more able individuals and lead to a better society. The hope persists even in recognition that schools reflect as well as influence the society of which they are a part and that schools have dual and potentially conflicting mandates of socializing for cultural reproduc¬ tion and of enhancing the actualization of individual potential for cultural production. Generally, the conservative and socialization dimensions predominate, especially in elementary and secondary schools, and educational change tends overall to be incremental. This is probably just as well in view of the potential 1 2 destruction and trauma which can accompany radical change. while the cumulative effects of incremental change can also be stressful and perhaps even traumatic, its incremental nature may permit adjustments and corrections that render change more humanly manageable. Given the extent and rapidity of change in the twentieth century, however, educational change cannot proceed at a snail s pace" and cannot be limited to minor "tinkerings." Charles A. Tesconi, Jr. describes the plight of our society: [0]urs is a bewildered society . the first mass society wherein a variety of socially convulsing, indeed revolutionary, forces have converged simultaneously . The industrial revolution has changed the world of work and relationships among workers. The urban revolution has jammed us together, exposing our social sores and making them perennially visible; has challeng¬ ed parochial and tribal views and relationships; and has bestowed upon us an almost impossible confusion and variety.

    Marxistische Und Socialistische Rechtstheorie UND DER KAMPF ums recht (HOMENAJE A RudoLF von Jhering y Karl Marx) (2ª PArte) Presentación MANUEL J. PELÁEZ, MIRIAM SEGHIRI Y CLARA LÓPEZ SÁNCHEZ [Pág. 1]. Tal y como se indicó en el número anterior de la presente publicación periódica, en 2018 se conmemora el bicentenario del nacimiento de dos juristas en extremo relevantes, por un lado, Rudolf von Jhering (1818-1892) y, por otro, Karl Marx (1818-1883). Podríamos haber vinculado igualmente el homenaje a Rosa Luxemburgo, la gran revolucionaria nacida en Zamość, una luchadora antimonárquica, antiimperialista y defensora de los derechos de los más desprotegidos que fue asesinada en la calle el 15 de enero de 1919, teniendo en cuenta que nacida el 5 de marzo, falleció a principios de enero de 1919 y su cercanía al pensamiento marxista la vincula a él como una mujer muy reivindicativa. Junto a ellos aparecen como nacidos en 1818 otros juristas algo menos importantes, como puede ser el caso de Manuel Colmeiro (1818-1894), mientras que, en 1817, un año antes, también vinieron al mundo Otto Bähr (1817- 1895), Bernhard Windscheid, nacido el 26 de junio de ese mismo año y fallecido el 26 de octubre de 1896, y Theodor Mommsen, que evidentemente como romanista resulta difícilmente comparable con ningún otro que haya sido capaz de superarle en los siglos XIX y XX. Curiosamente, Mommsen no mantuvo mucha relación con romanistas españoles apalancados en sus cátedras universitarias, sino con un jurista local malagueño, de condición nobiliaria con el que intercambió notable correspondencia y le solicitó una transcripción de la Lex Flavia Malacitana.

  • Emilio Betti : a Humanist Between Law and Philosophy Editors: Gaspare Mura, Angelo Antonio Cervati and Vinicio Busacchi
    Call for papers CRITICAL HERMENEUTICS: BIANNUAL INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHILOSOPHY Vol. 5, n.1, June 2021 http://ojs.unica.it/index.php/ecch Emilio Betti : A Humanist between Law and Philosophy Editors: Gaspare Mura, Angelo Antonio Cervati and Vinicio Busacchi Emilio Betti was not only one of the greatest Romanists and jurists of the contemporary era, but a historian and philosopher. As a law scholar, his writings on the great themes of legal history and on the philosophers who have dealt with them certainly deserve a reconsideration and critical evaluation. Among other things, Betti’s analysis of the role of jurists and their prudential deserves attention. These are analyses and reflections on the different eras of Roman history, both during the Republic and in subsequent eras, which are still of absolute relevance today. In particular, it is the debate on pandectics and the importance of critique of European pandectics that marks an epochal shift in the study of law. Betti is an eminent scholar of law, who has studied it in all its forms, always studying law from a historical and dynamic perspective, and has been a teacher not only of Roman law, but of various legal disciplines, and above all of subjects that had the current law as an object, in particular contemporary law. From a philosophical point of view, Betti’s hermeneutics aims to be an alternative to Rudolf Bultmann and Hans-Georg Gadamer’s approaches whom he considered as subjectivists, although it is necessary to underline the strong relationship between Betti and Dilthey’s thought, and also Gadamer’s, who are continuously cited in the Teoria generale dell’interpretazione (General Theory of Interpretation).

    Rel. Stud. 21, pp. 5I7-529 RANDY L. MADDOX Assistant Professor of Religion and Philosophy, Sioux Falls College CONTEMPORARY HERMENEUTIC PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGICAL STUDIES I. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this essay is to summarize the contemporary discussion of hermeneutic philosophy and to suggest some possible applications of this discussion to theological studies. To facilitate this summary, we will first clarify the general nature of hermeneutic philosophy and provide the historical background to its theological evaluation. (a) The natureof hermeneuticphilosophy The term 'hermeneutics' was originally used to designate a classical discipline that formulated rules for correctly interpreting texts. Early forms of this discipline can be found in biblical studies, philology and jurisprudence. The philosophical discussion of hermeneutics, which began in the nineteenth century, likewise initially engaged in the development of rules for proper interpretation. As the discussion developed, however, its attention shifted to themore basic question of the conditions of the very possibility of understand ing. The distinctive characteristic that emerged in this 'hermeneutic' discussion of understanding was a rejection of classical Cartesian and Kantian epistemology.' Indeed, hermeneutics has more or less taken the place of epistemology for these philosophers. To be sure, they usually refuse to identify hermeneutics with epistemology, but this is due to the empiricist and reductionist connotations which they sense in the latter term. There are essentially
