Louis A. lozzi Peter J. Bastard° 6 iv PREFACE We live in an exciting, rapidly changing, and challenging world a world highly dependent upon science and technology. Because our world is changing so rapidly we sometimes' fail to recognize that much of what we today take for granted as common, everyday occurrences existed only in the imaginations of people just a few short years ago. Advances in science and technology have brought many dreams to fruition. Long before you become a senior citizen, much of today's "science-fiction" will, in fact, become reality. Recall just a few accom- plishments which not too long ago were viewed as idle dreams: New biomedical advances have made it possible to replace defective hearts, kidneys and other organs. The first air flight at Kitty Hawk lasted only few seconds. Now, a little over half a century later, space crafts travel thousands of miles and hour to explore distant planets. Nuclear technology - of interest a few short years ago because of its destructive potential- could provide humankind with almost limitless supplies of energy for peace-time needs. Computertechnology has made it possible to solve in second problems which only a decade ago would require human lifetimes. Science and technology have brought us to the brink of controlling weather - even earth- quakes - and other natural phenomena. Moreover, the changes which we have been experiencing and to which we have beome accus- tomed are occurring at an increasingly rapid rate. Changes, most futurists forecast, will con- tinue and, in fact, even accelerate as we move into the 21 st Century and beyond. But, as Barry Commoner has stated, "There is no such thing as a flee lunch." These great advances will not be achieved without a high price. We are now beginning to experience the adverse effects of our great achievements: Our world's natural resources are being rapidly depleted. Our planet's water and air are no longer pure and clean. Thousands of plants and animal species are threatened with extinction. Nearly half the world's population suffers from malnutrition. Because science and technology have given us tremendous power, we are now confronted with awesome responsibilities to use that power and ability wisely, to make equitable decisions and tradeoffs, and to make valid and just choices when there are no absolute "right" alter- natives. You will soon become one of society's decision-makers. Will you be able to improve upon the decision-making of the past? Will you have acquired the skills and abilities to deal with com- plex problems and to make effective and equitable long range decisions to create a better world? This book has been prepared to help you function more effectively in a rapidly changing world. It is our hope that the contents and activities in this volume will help to prepare you to live life to the fullest, in balance with Earth's resources and environmental limits, and to meet the chal- lenges of tomorrow's world.

    A Hermeneutic Historical Study of Kazimierz Dabrowski and his Theory of Positive Disintegration Marjorie M. Kaminski Battaglia Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Human Development Dr. Marcie Boucouvalas, Chair Dr. M. Gerald Cline, Research Chair Dr. Clare Klunk Dr. Linda Morris Dr. Karen Rosen March 20, 2002 Falls Church, Virginia Keywords: Positive Disintegration, Human Development, Hermeneutic, transpersonal, TPD, Dabrowski Copyright 2002, Marjorie M. Kaminski Battaglia Abstract A Hermeneutic Historical Study of Kazimierz Dabrowski and his Theory of Positive Disintegration Marjorie M. Kaminski Battaglia The inquiry is a hermeneutic historical study of the historical factors in the life of Kazimierz Dabrowski which contributed to the shaping of his Theory of Positive Disintegration. Relatively little information has been written on the life and theory of Kazimierz Dabrowski. The researcher contends that knowledge of Dabrowski, the man, will aid in an understanding of his theory. The journey in which an individual “develops” to the level at which “the other” becomes a higher concern than the self, is the “stuff” of Kazimierz Dabrowski’s Theory of Positive Disintegration. It is a paradoxical theory of human development, based on the premise that “good can follow from bad.” Crisis and suffering act as the propellents into an internal as well as external battle with self and environment to move out of the “what is” and travel to the “what ought to be.” Illuminated within this study, is how the life of Dabrowski demonstrates this moral and psychic struggle.

Rewak, S.J. Professor of Philosophy, Santa Clara University 1. What do we mean when we talk about ‘ethics’? Ethics in the broadest sense refers to the concern that humans have always had for figuring out how best to live. The philosopher Socrates is quoted as saying in 399 B.C. that “the most important thing is not life, but the good life.”1 We would all like to avoid a bad life, one that is shameful and sad, fundamentally lacking in worthy achievements, unredeemed by love, kindness, beauty, friendship, courage, honor, joy, or grace. Yet what is the best way to obtain the opposite of this – a life that is not only acceptable, but even excellent and worthy of admiration? How do we identify a good life, one worth choosing from among all the different ways of living that lay open to us? This is the question that the study of ethics attempts to answer.

    GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS, SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS SPECULATIVE MATTER: GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS AND SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS By LAURA M. WIEBE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Laura Wiebe, October 2012 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2012) Hamilton, Ontario (English and Cultural Studies) TITLE: Speculative Matter: Generic Affinities, Posthumanisms and Science-Fictional Imaginings AUTHOR: Laura Wiebe, B.A. (University of Waterloo), M.A. (Brock University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Anne Savage NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 277 ii ABSTRACT Amidst the technoscientific ubiquity of the contemporary West (or global North), science fiction has come to seem the most current of genres, the narrative form best equipped to comment on and work through the social, political and ethical quandaries of rapid technoscientific development and the ways in which this development challenges conventional understandings of human identity and rationality. By this framing, the continuing popularity of stories about paranormal phenomena and supernatural entities – on mainstream television, or in print genres such as urban fantasy and paranormal romance – may seem to be a regressive reaction against the authority of and experience of living in technoscientific modernity. Nevertheless, the boundaries of science fiction, as with any genre, are relational rather than fixed, and critical engagements with Western/Northern technoscientific knowledge and practice and modern human identity and being may be found not just in science fiction “proper,” or in the scholarly field of science and technology studies, but also in the related genres of fantasy and paranormal romance.

Biddinger A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Susan J. Douglas, Chair Professor Gerald P. Scannell Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Megan E. Biddinger 2012 To My Family, With Love and Gratitude ii Acknowledgments Of all of the many things I have to be grateful for right now, the opportunity to take this space to thank the many, many people who have helped me through this process is at the top of the list. For years, I have kept a running list of people who have made me a better scholar and a better human being. At times when this process has been difficult, that list and the act of adding to it have served as powerful reminders of my good fortune. Looking at that list now I see an embarrassment of human riches. I am so grateful for the vast amounts and many kinds of support, encouragement, intellectual stimulation, camaraderie, and love I have received. I want to first thank my advisor and my committee without whom this project would have been impossible. First, I was incredibly fortunate to have Susan Douglas as an advisor and chair. She has been patient but persistent with me from the very beginning and my work is so much the better for learning from her. Her work inspired me to pursue my own investigations into gender, media, and culture and it has been an honor to be her student.

  • A Beautiful Anarchy When the Life Creative Becomes the Life Created David Duchemin
    A BEAUTIFUL ANARCHY WHEN THE LIFE CREATIVE BECOMES THE LIFE CREATED DAVID DUCHEMIN First Edition, June 2014 ISBN# 978-0-9917557-1-4 Copyright © 2014 David duChemin All Rights Reserved Published by Craft & Vision Press A division of Pixelated Image Communications, Inc. ABeautifulAnarchy.com CraftAndVision.com For Cynthia, My Beautiful Anarchist. A BEAUTIFUL ANARCHY he word “anarchy” literally means, “without a Truler.” In popular use, it’s a political word with heavy baggage, a bloody history, and occasional car bombs. This book is not about that: it’s about freedom. This is a book about the freedom to create—to live a life of unapologetic, passionate, daring creation—in whatever arena resonates best for you. Parents create when they raise a child, entrepreneurs create when they begin a business, and teachers create when they design a lesson plan. Some people identify with the urge to create more than others, and it’s to them I speak in this book, not because others can’t benefit, but because anyone who persists in the idea that “I’m just not really creative” is unlikely to read this book, believing instead that the die has been cast and they’ve been excluded. They, of all people, need most to read it, and I hope they do. This book is for people who have a sense of their own urge to create, or those who don’t, but long to look under the hood and find it waiting there. But to its bones, this is a book about art and the process of making it, because what is our life but a chance to make the greatest art of all? Whether you ever set your paintbrush on actual canvas isn’t remote- A BEAUTIFUL ANARCHY ly the point, though I hope you will.
