  • One Good Prophet
    Jeremiah 23:21-31 One Good Prophet One of the favorite stories of native Texans is the legend of the Ranger sent to quell a big disturbance in a small South Texas town. When he rides into town, the mayor looks him over, dismayed, and says, “Where are the others? Are you the only one they sent?” And the Ranger calmly replies, “Well, you’ve only got one riot.” I think we like to consider ourselves, as Texans, heirs to that same tough self-sufficiency. “One riot, one Ranger,” if true, is an amazing tale. But it’s more generally the case that one person is helpless against the many- or if not helpless, at least stands little chance of winning the fight. Perhaps the better example of one man against the mob, or against lawlessness or evil, is the movie “High Noon,” in which Marshal Will Kane, played by Gary Cooper, all alone must face Frank Miller and his gang. For several reasons the townspeople refuse to help, his deputy deserts him, his bride of only a couple of hours rides away: out of fear certainly, or religious vows of non-violence, or a sense of accommodation to the evil, or belief in the lie that if the Marshal will just go, and they remain quiet, everything will sort itself out. It’s said that the movie was a metaphor for the nation’s response to McCarthyism in the 1950s- or the lack of response- as so many people of the time were able to justify their own silence, their own inaction against the abuse of power by those political bullies.

  • An Overview of Thermodynamics (Pdf)
    1-1 AN OVERVIEW OF THERMODYNAMICS In this chapter thermodynamics will be examined from a broad philosophical perspective after a brief discussion of philosophy, mathematics, and the nature and methods of science. The object will be to understand the rationale of thermodynamics and to show how it fits into the scientific scheme of things. 1.1 PHILOSOPHY Today, philosophy is generally regarded as one among many intellectual disciplines. Any respectable university will have a curriculum identified as philosophy which will contain subareas such as ethics, aesthetics, logic, and perhaps metaphysics. In the long history of philosophy, this compartmentalization is a fairly recent development, for since the Greeks first began to philosophize, philosophy was not a formal subject but rather an intellectual attitude. Along these lines, one of today's better known philosophers, Richard Rorty, defines the task of philosophy not as discovering absolute truth, but "keeping the conversation going". Yet, as the story of Socrates reminds us, sometimes the conversation can be quite unsettling especially when cherished customs and beliefs are the topic. The Athenians undeniably overreacted, but their resentment is understandable for it seemed that Socrates reminded them that the truth on which they had built their stately institutions and cherished beliefs was not bedrock but swampy ground. Moreover, he seemed to revel in exposing this flaw and showed no interest in the arduous task of draining the swamp. Taking him seriously, the Athenians regarded Socrates as subversive and punished him accordingly. In any event, after centuries of serious philosophical thought, it does appear that the swamp can not be drained; we can never reach the bedrock of absolute truth on which to erect our structure of knowledge.
