  • The Philosophy of War and Peace
    THE PHILOSOPHY OF WAR AND PEACE Oleg Bazaluk1 — Doctor of Philosophy, Professor, Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi State Pedagogical University (Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine) E-mail: [email protected] Tamara Blazhevych2 — Senior lecturer, Kyiv University of Tourism, Economy, and Law (Kyiv, Ukraine) E-mail: [email protected] In the paper the author comprehends ontology of the war and peace. Using the results of empiri- cal and theoretical research in the field of geophilosophy, as well as neuroscience, psychology, social philosophy and military history, the author comprehends the philosophy of war and peace. The author proves that the problem of war and peace originates in the features of forming men- tality. War and peace are the ways to achieve a regulatory compromise between manifestations of the active principle, which was initially laid in the foundation of the human mentality, and the influence of the external environment through natural selection; between the complicating needs of mental space as a totality of mentalities at the scale of the Earth and the possibilities of satisfying them; between the proclaimed idea that unites mental space, and the possibility of its implementa- tion. War and Peace regulate high-quality structure and manifestations of mental space: reduce the number of mentalities, whose structures predispose to aggression, and increase the number of men- talities, whose manifestations are directed at integration and cooperation. Through the proposed theory of war and peace, I have come to realize that, the state of peace for the evolving mental space includes the philosophy of war; the transition from peace to war depends mainly on the effective- ness of educational technology.

  • Spring 2012 CAS Department of Philosophy Undergraduate Courses
    01/20/2012 Spring 2012 CAS Department of Philosophy Undergraduate Courses http://www.philosophy.buffalo.edu/courses PHI 101 BEE Intro. to Philosophy Beebe, J M 6:00pm - 8:40pm Cooke 121 13444 This course will introduce students to some of the basic questions and methods of philosophy. We will begin by looking at the birth of Western philosophy in ancient Greece. We will read three of Plato's dialogues and will learn about the life of Socrates, the first great Western philosopher. We will then wrestle with philosophical questions such as the following: What must one do to be truly happy? Are there absolute truths? Is truth relative? Is it ethically permissible to clone human beings? Is euthanasia morally permissible? How is the mind related to the brain? Is it anything more than the brain? Can computers think? Do humans have free will? If so, what is the nature of that freedom? Is it rational to believe in God? Is the existence of evil incompatible with the existence of a wholly good God? PHI 101 CHO Intro. to Philosophy Cho, K MWF 9:00am-9:50am O’Brian 109 15620 In addition to discussing the standardized introductory topics such as Reality, Knowledge, Ethics, Religion, Art, Mind and Body, based on the works of classical Western philosophers, the course is designed to make ourselves to be more critically inquisitive about what we normally take (in the Western world) for granted. For this purpose, a second textbook with sources from John Dewey and Confucius, is selected. Required texts: 1. R. Solomon, Introducing Philosophy, 10th edition, Oxford University Press.

  • The Philosophy of Loyalty
    29 The Philosophy of Loyalty I. The Nature and the Need of Loyalty One of the most familiar traits of our time is the tendency to revise tradition, to reconsider the foundations of old beliefs, and some­ times mercilessly to destroy what once seemed indispensable. This disposition, as we all know, is especially prominent in the realms of social theory and of religious belief. But even the exact sciences do not escape from the influence of those who are fond of the reexamination of dogmas. And the modern tendency in question has, of late years, been very notable in the field of Ethics. Conven­ tional morality has been required, in company with religion, and also in company with exact science, to endure the fire of criticism. And although, in all ages, the moral law has indeed been exposed to the assaults of the wayward, the peculiar moral situation of our time is this, that it is no longer either the flippant or the vicious who are the most pronounced or the most dangerous opponents of our moral traditions. Devoted reformers, earnest public servants, ardent prophets of a coming spiritual order,-all these types of lovers of humanity are represented amongst those who to-day demand great and deep changes in the moral standards by which our lives are [The complete text of The P!Jilosopby of Loyalty is reprinted here from PL.] 8 )6 MORAL AND RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE to be governed. We have become accustomed, during the past few generations,-during the period of Socialism and of Individualism, of Karl Marx, of Henry George, of Ibsen, of Nietzsche, of Tolstoi, -to hear unquestionably sincere lovers of humanity sometimes de­ claring our traditions regarding the rights of property to be im­ moral, and sometimes assailing, in the name of virtue, our present family ties as essentially unworthy of the highest ideals.

  • Press Release
    Sheriff J. Al Cannon, Jr., County of Charleston, South Carolina Charleston County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Center 3691 Leeds Avenue North Charleston, South Carolina 29405 Captain Roger Antonio Public Information Officer Office: (843) 554-2444 [email protected] PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release: March 12, 2018 Sheriff’s Office to Display Newest Helicopter (Charleston County, SC) On March 13, 2018 the Sheriff’s Office will unveil the newest addition to the Air Support Unit. Charleston County has recently purchased a 2012 Bell 407GX to replace the outdated 1970s Bell helicopter acquired through the 1033 military surplus program. This newer helicopter has increased passenger capacity, with the ability to accommodate seven occupants as opposed to the previous four-person capacity. The newer model utilizes a single- engine, four-blade rotor, which is more efficient than the previous two-blade model. It was purchased from the Bell Helicopter Company, and had previously been in use by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office in Florida. The final cost of the outfitted aircraft will be approximately 3.4 million dollars. This helicopter will be furnished with a newer model FLIR infrared imaging system, and a microwave down link system that allows real-time video streaming to ground personnel. This technology can be utilized by either the pilots or by rear passengers operating a rear control panel. In addition, pilots will employ a Churchill navigation system that provides street overlays of the surrounding area. The landing skids are equipped with flotation devices in the event of a water- based emergency landing. On March 13, 2018 at 5:15 p.m., the helicopter will land for County Council and media viewing at the parking lot of the Lonnie Hamilton III (Charleston County Public Services) building at 4045 Bridgeview Drive in North Charleston.
