2020-2021 Academic Catalogue Ave Maria University Catalogue 2020-2021 5050 Ave Maria Blvd. Ave Maria, FL 34142 Telephone: (239) 280-2500 www.avemaria.edu July 2020 Ave Maria University All Rights Reserved Volume XVIII, Number I 2020-2021 AMU Academic Catalogue / 2 2020-2021 AMU Academic Catalogue / 3 WELCOME TO AVE MARIA UNIVERSITY I am excited to begin the 2020-21 Academic Year in my first full year, as the third president of Ave Maria University. I welcome you to the most dynamic, faithful and authentically Catholic university in America. Ave Maria University was launched in 2003 by Domino’s Pizza magnate and philanthropist Thomas S. Monaghan, and offers a first-rate liberal arts curriculum and over 30 challenging undergraduate majors, as well as graduate degrees in theology. In addition to vibrant programs in the humanities, sciences, and music, the University features pre-professional and professional specializations in disciplines as diverse as nursing, accounting, and biochemistry. The University’s Core Curriculum numbers among the strongest in America and provides graduates with the tools they need to become critical thinkers, competent writers, and lovers of learning. Beginning in the Fall of 2018, the University also began to offer degrees, including a Master in Business Administration, through online learning. At Ave Maria University, you will not only receive an education that prepares you for your career but also one that prepares you for life as a faithful follower of Christ. As our motto of Veritatis Splendor suggests, we will help you develop the critical thinking and reasoning skills necessary for distinguishing truth from falsehoods, especially in a culture that blurs the lines of truth. Our dedicated faculty will challenge you academically and prepare you for the rigors of life after college. You will have opportunities to enrich your spiritual life by participating in daily Mass, perpetual Eucharistic Adoration, rosary walks, household faith life, the Mother Teresa Service Projects, virtue-based athletic programs, Marian devotions, and more. Prayer is front and center on campus. At Ave Maria University, we don’t run away from our Catholic faith, we run to it. Many people say that our Catholic faith is irrelevant and no longer alive in the youth. The people that say this have never visited our campus. Every person is treated with dignity and respect, and we encourage students to form deep, healthy, and genuine friendships. We are committed to the formation of the body, mind, and spirit. You have made a great decision to join the Ave Maria University family, as we will prepare you for life. We will help you find your God-given vocation that will ultimately lead you to heaven. We are a University devoted to Mary, the Mother of God and inspired by St. John Paul the Great and St. Teresa of Calcutta. Let’s have a great 20-21! God Bless you, Christopher P.

Introduction and General Information The University is a place of concourse, whither students come from every quarter for every kind of knowledge. [...] It is a place where inquiry is pushed forward, and discoveries verified and perfected, and rashness rendered innocuous, and error exposed, by the collision of mind with mind, and knowledge with knowledge. —John Henry Cardinal Newman, The Idea of a University Ave Maria University Mission Statement Founded in fidelity to Christ and His Church in response to the call of Vatican II for greater lay witness in contemporary society, Ave Maria University exists to further teaching, research, and learning at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the abiding tradition of Catholic thought in both national and international settings. The University takes as its mission the sponsorship of a liberal arts education curriculum dedicated, as articulated in the apostolic constitution Ex Corde Ecclesiae, to the advancement of human culture, the promotion of dialogue between faith and reason, the formation of men and women in the intellectual and moral virtues of the Catholic faith, and to the development of professional and pre-professional programs in response to local and societal needs. As an institution committed to Catholic principles, the University recognizes the importance of creating and maintaining an environment in which faith informs the life of the community and takes expression in all its programs. The University recognizes the central and indispensable role of the Ordinary of the Diocese of Venice in promoting and assisting in the preservation and strengthening of the University’s Catholic identity. Ave Maria University Catholic Identity Statement Ave Maria University is a Catholic, liberal arts institution of higher learning devoted to Mary the Mother of God, inspired by St. John Paul II and St. Teresa of Calcutta, and dedicated to the formation of joyful, intentional followers of Jesus Christ through Word and Sacrament, scholarship and service.

  • Some Strands of Wittgenstein's Normative Pragmatism
    Some Strands of Wittgenstein’s Normative Pragmatism, and Some Strains of his Semantic Nihilism ROBERT B. BRANDOM ABSTRACT WORK TYPE In this reflection I address one of the critical questions this monograph is Article about: How to justify proposing yet another semantic theory in the light of Wittgenstein’s strong warnings against it. I see two clear motives for ARTICLE HISTORY Wittgenstein’s semantic nihilism. The first one is the view that philosophical Received: problems arise from postulating hypothetical entities such as ‘meanings’. To 27–January–2018 dissolve the philosophical problems rather than create new ones, Wittgenstein Accepted: suggests substituting ‘meaning’ with ‘use’ and avoiding scientism in philosophy 3–March–2018 together with the urge to penetrate in one's investigation to unobservable depths. I believe this first motive constitutes only a weak motive for ARTICLE LANGUAGE Wittgenstein’s quietism, because there are substantial differences between English empirical theories in natural sciences and semantic theories in philosophy that KEYWORDS leave Wittgenstein’s assimilation of both open to criticism. But Wittgenstein is Meaning and Use right, on the second motive, that given the dynamic character of linguistic Hypothetical Entities practice, the classical project of semantic theory is a disease that can be Antiscientism removed or ameliorated only by heeding the advice to replace concern with Semantic Nihilism meaning by concern with use. On my view, this does not preclude, however, a Linguistic Dynamism different kind of theoretical approach to meaning that avoids the pitfalls of the Procrustean enterprise Wittgenstein complained about. © Studia Humanitatis – Universidad de Salamanca 2019 R.

  • A Priori Rules: Wittgenstein on the Normativity of Logic
    A Priori Rules: Wittgenstein on the Normativity of Logic Peter Railton The University of Michigan Introduction Like many, I have long been uneasy with the category of the a priori. Perhaps I have simply misunderstood it. It has seemed to me, at any rate, that asserting a claim or principle as a priori is tantamount to claiming that we would be justified in ruling out alternatives in advance, no matter what the future course of experience might hold. Yet in my own case, I have felt it would be mere bluffing were I to lodge such a claim. I certainly could not discover in myself any sense of the requisite authority, nor even any clear idea of where to look for guidance in forming it. Contemplating widely-used examples of "propositions true a priori" did not remove my worry. For a start, there was the shadow of history. A claim like "logical truth is a priori" or "the attribution of rationality is a priori in intentional explanation" kept sounding, to my ears, as if they echoed "the Euclidean geometry of space is a priori" or "the principle of sufficient reason is a priori in physical explanation". And these echoes awakened just sort of the worry that had initially unsettled me: I would pronouce myself satisfied that certain claims, at least, were safe from the threat of contrary experience, just on the eve of developments in our on-going view of the world that would lead a sensible person to want to reopen the question. So I would emerge looking like the (perhaps apocryphal) fellow who claimed, in the wake of the great inventions of the nineteenth century, that the US Patent Office could now be closed, since all the really new ideas had been used up.

  • Raff's Arragement for Piano of Bach's Cello Suites
    Six Sonatas for Cello by J.S.Bach arranged for the Pianoforte by JOACHIM RAFF WoO.30 Sonata No.1 in G major Sonate No.2 in D minor Sonate No.3 in C major Sonate No.4 in E flat major Sonate No.5 in C minor Sonate No.6 in D major Joachim Raff’s interest in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and the inspiration he drew from them is unmatched by any of the other major composers in the second half of the 19th century. One could speculate that Raff’s partiality for polyphonic writing originates from his studies of Bach’s works - the identification of “influenced by Bach” with “Polyphony” is a popular idea but is often questionable in terms of scientific correctness. Raff wrote numerous original compositions in polyphonic style and used musical forms of the baroque period. However, he also created a relatively large number of arrangements and transcriptions of works by Bach. Obviously, Bach’s music exerted a strong attraction on Raff that went further than plain admiration. Looking at Raff’s arrangements one can easily detect his particular interest in those works by Bach that could be supplemented by another composer. Upon these models Raff could fit his reverence for the musical past as well as exploit his never tiring interest in the technical aspects of the art of composition. One of the few statements we have by Raff about the basics of his art reveal his concept of how to attach supplements to works by Bach. Raff wrote about his orchestral arrangement of Bach’s Ciaconna in d minor for solo violin: "Everybody who has studied J.S.
