Francis Bacon´S Philosophy Under Educational Perspective
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. -

Cultural Shifts...Etc. [Macrohistory]
Feminist Critiques and Visions of the Future by Ivana Milojevic and Sohail Inayatullah “Feminist visions and Critiques of the future,” Futures Research Quarterly (Vol. 14, No. 1, Spring, 1998), 35-46 (with Ivana Milojevic). Rewritten and translated into Finnish in Futura (March, 2010), 19-31. Current trends One does not need to be an expert to realize that wherever we look, either into our past or into our present, either within our local community or around the world, one fact remains almost universal: society always treats its women worse than it treats its men. If current trends continue, women will continue to suffer from violence, poverty, malnutrition, legal and economical disadvantages well into the 21st century. Women will continue to face more difficulties than men in many areas of life, mostly because our societies are still controlled by men and male values. The crucial spheres for "controlling" the future, politics, as well as most institutional and personal decision making processes, will remain out of women's reach. According to the United Nations' future projections, women's position will improve a bit, but even in the year 2200, women will be far from reaching gender equality.1 According to these projections, the percentage of world income received by women will increase from current 10% to 20% in the year 2025, and then further to 40% in the year 2200. The 1 percentage of world property owned by women will increase from the "huge" 1% as it is today, to 3% in year 2025, and 20% in year 2200. In the year 2025, women will still outnumber men as poor (60%), illiterate (55%), refugees (70%), and sick (57%).2 Women can hope to still outlive men, as female life expectancy continue to be higher than male's, although this is not because of our social and "human" efforts to help the disadvantaged, but inspite of them. -

This thesis aims to bring unconventional perspectives to the global governance debates by developing multiple images of futures from contesting worldviews. Informed by futures research and the perspectives and stories of nations and peoples currently unrepresented in global decision-making forums such as the United Nations General Assembly, the thesis maps global governance philosophies, systems and structures, agencies, and their underlying worldviews and myths to produce possible futures for each of six actor groups contesting the current global governance system. The criteria used to construct these possible futures are then used to construct a model and story for the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation (U.N.P.O.) using their materials, collected at their 2010 General Assembly, as content. The model and story represent the preferred global governance future for U.N.P.O. evoking an image of ‘One World’. The thesis in its entirety provides U.N.P.O. -
Authority, Marriage, and Politics in Late-Medieval France

Edwards Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English and Comparative Literature * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School Kinne ii Abstract Persuading the polity: Authority, marriage, and politics in late-medieval France In the later Middle Ages, texts on marriage proliferated, either works of conduct meant to make women good wives or more general reflections addressed to a wide spectrum of medieval society. These multiple and contradictory discourses regarding matrimony performed a variety of functions beyond attempting to regulate a household or persuade the audience of the worthiness, or lack thereof, of the institution. They are displays of power that seek to impose an idealized vision of society and one’s authority over others. An exploration of this subtext brings to light the difficulties of exerting individual agency in the face of myriad constraints, whether social, economic, or political. -

UNIT 1 – History of English Literature – SHS1105
SCHOOL OF SCIENCE & HUMANITIES DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH UNIT 1 – History of English Literature – SHS1105 1 ELIZABETHAN PERIOD & SHAKESPEARE PERIOD Edmund Spenser: Edmund Spenser (ca. 1552-1599) ranks as the fore most English poet of the 16th century. Famous as the author of the unfinished epic poem The Faerie Queene, he is the poet of an ordered yet passionate Elizabethan world. He was deeply affected by Irish faerie mythology, which he knew from his home at Kilcolman and possibly from his Irish wife Elizabeth Boyle. His genocidal tracts against Gaelic culture were war propaganda. His house (ruins remain) was burned to the ground during the war, causing him to flee Ireland. Edmund Spenser was born in East Smithfield, London, around the year 1552, though there is some ambiguity as to the exact date of his birth. As a young boy, he was educated in London at the Merchant Taylors' School and matriculated as a sizar at Pembroke College, Cambridge. Spenser‘s main poetical works are: The Shepher d‘s Calendar (1579) Amoretti (1595), a collection of eighty eight Petrarchan sonnets Epithalamion (1959), a magnificent ode written on the occasion of his marriage with Elizabeth Boyle Prothalamion (1596), an ode on marriage Astrophel (1596), an elegy on the death of Sir Philip Sidney Four Hymns (1576) written to glorify love and homour The Faerie Queen (1589 –90). Spenser matriculated at the University of Cambridge on May 20, 1569. Ten years later he published his first publicly-released poetic work, The Sheapheards' Calendar, to positive reviews. He then began work on his magnum opus, The Faerie Queene, publishing the first three of the projected twelve books in 1590. -
Towards a Critical Bisexual Theology
UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER Faculty of Arts Department of Religious Studies Towards A Critical Bisexual Theology by Karin Elizabeth Smith Submitted for a degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2010 UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FACULTY OF ARTS, DEPARTMENT OF THEOLOGY AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES Doctor of Philosophy TOWARDS A CRITICAL BISEXUAL THEOLOGY By Karin Elizabeth Smith My thesis is an investigation into the phenomenon of bisexuality and the problems, challenges and opportunities it presents towards traditional Christian theology. I examine the deconstructive challenge that bisexuality and queer theory presents to what Althaus-Reid calls ‘Totalitarian Theology’. My methodology is literature based, comes from a feminist liberationist perspective and my own personal experiences as a bisexual woman, adopting the analytical tools of philosophy, psychology and sociology. Through the utilization of this method, I hope to give a better understanding of this difficult and complex subject. During the course of my investigation, I have discovered that much of the research undertaken by theologians so far within the area of human sexuality has largely centred on the phenomenon of homosexuality and heterosexuality. Other than the work of Debra R. Kalodny and Queer Theologian Marcella Althaus-Reid, very little has been written about bisexuality. In contrast to their work mine is an autobiographical self - reflective account of the difficulties faced living in a culture based on monogamous heterosexuality. The points in which Althaus-Reid’s work and my own diverge is in both cultural style and context. My bi- interpretation goes beyond hers because I provide a critical analysis of heterosexuality. My work is therefore unique, as I am using bisexual identity in a sustained and self-critical way with a view toward the creation of a ‘critical bisexual theology’ in my particular culture. -

Gyn/Ecology the Metaethics of Radical Feminism
GYN/ECOLOGY THE METAETHICS OF RADICAL FEMINISM MARY DALY Beacon Press : Boston : 1978 N.B. Transcript omits footnotes and citations. PREFACE This book voyages beyond Beyond God the Father. It is not that I basically disagree with the ideas expressed there. I am still its author, and thus the situation is not comparable to that of The Church and the Second Sex, whose (1968) author I regard as a reformist foresister, and whose work I respectfully refute in the New Feminist Postchristian Introduction to the 1975 edition. Going beyond Beyond God the Father involves two things. First, there is the fact that be-ing continues. Be-ing at home on the road means continuing to Journey. This book continues to Spin on, in other directions/dimensions. It focuses beyond christianity in Other ways. Second, there is some old semantic baggage to be discarded so that Journeyers will be unencumbered by malfunctioning (male-functioning) equipment. There are some words which appeared to be adequate in the early seventies, which feminists later discovered to be false words. Three such words in BGTF which I cannot use again are God, androgyny, and homosexuality. There is no way to remove male/masculine imagery from God. Thus, when writing/speaking “anthropomorphically” of ultimate reality, of the divine spark of be-ing, I now choose to write/speak gynomorphically. I do so because God represents the necrophilia of patriarchy, whereas Goddess affirms the life-loving be-ing of women and nature. The second semantic abomination, androgyny, is a confusing term which I sometimes used in attempting to describe integrity of be-ing. -
Journal of Research on Women and Gender March 1, 2010
Journal of Research on Women and Gender March 1, 2010 Deontology and Female Eudaimonia in the World Polity: A Grotian Perspective Erik W. Kuiler, Independent Researcher and IT Consultant in the Washington DC Area Issues of gender inequality are embedded in many cultures, transcending both history and geography. In many such cultures, prescriptive ontologies of woman as the Other usually constrain the autonomy of women so that they frequently have limited identities separate from men. Consequently, women are often perceived as trapped in physiology, language, time not measured by historical events, and by institutions not of their own making (De Beauvoir 1989/1949). The late 20th century human rights tradition, exemplified by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UNDHR) and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), formulates a concept of human rights to include rights essential to human development, such as rights to economic development (e.g., employment at a fair wage), adequate housing, health care, and education that applies to all humanity, regardless of gender (UN 2002). UNDHR illuminates, from a deontological perspective, a framework of eudaimonia – of human “flourishing” based on the individual’s application of his or her own capabilities to effect choice and agency and the exogenous means to pursue action within a civic, political, social, cultural, and economic institutional framework, sustained by community, nation-state, and world polity (Sen 1982, 1984, and 1993; Nussbaum 2000; UN 2002). This tradition of human rights promulgated in UN human rights regimes has its provenance, to a great extent, in the political theories of Hugo Grotius (1583-1645).
