  • Demonizing Unions: Religious Rhetoric in the Early 20Th
    DEMONIZING UNIONS: RELIGIOUS RHETORIC IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN STRIKE NOVEL A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by David Michael Cosca August 2019 © David Michael Cosca DEMONIZING UNIONS: RELIGIOUS RHETORIC IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN STRIKE NOVEL David Michael Cosca, Ph. D. Cornell University 2019 Demonizing Unions uncovers the significance of a Biblical idiom in American novels portraying violent labor conflicts from the 1910s to the 1930s. I reveal the different ways that Upton Sinclair’s King Coal and The Coal War, Mary Heaton Vorse’s Strike!, and Ruth McKenney’s Industrial Valley employ a Biblical motif both to emphasize the God-like power of Capital over society, and to critique an emergent socio-political faith in business power. The texts I examine demonstrate how it was clear to industrialists in the early 20th century that physical violence was losing its efficacy. Therefore, much of the brunt of the physical conflict in labor struggles could be eased by waging a war of ideas to turn public opinion into an additional, ultimately more powerful, weapon against the potential of organized labor. I argue that in these texts, the besmearing of the discontented workers as violent dupes of “outside agitators,” rather than regular folks with economic grievances, takes on Biblical proportions. In turn, these authors utilize Biblical stories oriented around conceptions of power and hierarchy to illuminate the potential of ordinary humans to effect their own liberation.

  • The Types and Functions of Samizdat Publications in Czechoslovakia, 1948–1989
    The Types and Functions of Samizdat Publications in Czechoslovakia, 1948–1989 Martin Machovec Czech Literature, Charles University, Prague Abstract The term samizdat, now widespread, denotes the unofficial dissemination of any variety of text (book, magazine, leaflet, etc.) within “totalitarian” political sys- tems, especially those after World War II. Such publishing, though often not explic- itly forbidden by law, was always punishable through the misuse of a variety of laws under various pretexts. It occurred first in the Soviet Union as early as the 1920s, before the term was used, and then, labeled as such, from the 1950s onward. While samizdat publication occurred in Czechoslovakia after 1948, the word itself was used there only from the 1970s on. This article seeks to clarify the term and the phenome- non of samizdat with regard to the Czech literary scene to trace its historical limits and the justification for it. I will first describe the functions of Czech samizdat during the four decades of the totalitarian regime (1948–89), that is, examine it as a non- static, developing phenomenon, and then I will offer criteria by which to classify it. Such texts are classifiable by motivations for publishing and distributing samizdat; the originator; traditionally recognized types of printed material; date of production and of issuance, if different; textual content; occurrence in the chronology of politi- cal and cultural events under the totalitarian regime; and type of technology used in production. The applicability of such criteria is tested against the varied samizdat activities of the Czech poet and philosopher Egon Bondy. Both in Czech literary history and, as far as we know, in the literary his- tories of other countries as well there is a tendency to claim what is more or less obvious: that samizdat books, periodicals, leaflets, and recordings 1.

  • 1966 Lecture
    THE 1966 JAMES BACKHOUSE LECTURE SEEKING IN AN AGE OF IMBALANCE RUDOLF LEMBERG ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. M. Rudolph Lemberg, who died in 1975, was Head of Biochemical Research and Assistant Director of the Institute of Medical Research at the Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society, London, a Foundation Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science (whose Vice President he was in 1957 and 1958), and Professor Emeritus of Heidelberg University. He was a member of the Sydney Regional Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends. He gained his early experience at the Universities of Breslau and Heidelberg and worked as a Fellow of the Rockefeller Foundation at Cambridge. He received many honours, among them the Coronation Medal in 1953, the H.G. Smith Medal of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and the James Cook Medal of the Royal Society of New South Wales "for outstanding contributions to human welfare and science in the southern hemisphere." In Rudi's Britannica Australia award for Science it is stated: "Soon after his arrival in Australia in 1935, Dr. Lemberg turned his attention to the study of haematin compounds that are found in practically all living things. Few men have added more to our knowledge of these vitally important substances. The results of the first twenty years of his scientific work are embodied in his book, Haematin Compounds and Bile Pigments, of which he is the senior author. This and his later works have placed him among the world's greatest biochemists. The International Conference on Haematin Enzymes held in Canberra in 1959 was a tribute to Australia's status in this field and this was largely due to Dr.

ISSN 1084-8770 Downloaded from: https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/620917/ Publisher: Taylor & Francis (Routledge) DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/10848770.2016.1272768 Please cite the published version https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk 1 Hegel: Analytic Philosophy’s Pharmakon In this paper, I argue that Hegel is the ‘pharmakon’ of analytic philosophy. By this, I mean that Hegel can be treated as both analytic philosophy’s ‘poison’ and its ‘cure’. In Section I, I argue that Hegel has been vilified for two main reasons – stylistic and cultural – and that these forms of critique have developed into the respective charges of charlatanism and irrelevance. I then offer a criticism of the charges of charlatanism and irrelevance. In Section II, I argue (using the second meaning of ‘pharmakon’) that the revival of interest in Hegel’s philosophical work in the Anglophone world since the 1970s is mainly due to (a) the revival of interest in Aristotelianism since Saul Kripke’s/Hilary Putnam’s work on natural kinds and Elizabeth Anscombe’s/Philippa Foot’s/Putnam’s opposition to the fact/value distinction; (b) the scholarly rehabilitation of Hegel’s theories by philosophers such as Robert Pippin, Terry Pinkard, Fred Beiser, Robert Stern, and Stephen Houlgate; and (c) the Sellars- inspired epistemology and philosophy of mind of John McDowell and Robert Brandom. (a) and (c), I believe, has led some contemporary analytic theorists to view Hegel in very positive ways, as arguably the ‘cure’ for analytic philosophy.

  • The Demon Haunted World
    THE DEMON- HAUNTED WORLD Science as a Candle in the Dark CARL SAGAN BALLANTINE BOOKS • NEW YORK Preface MY TEACHERS It was a blustery fall day in 1939. In the streets outside the apartment building, fallen leaves were swirling in little whirlwinds, each with a life of its own. It was good to be inside and warm and safe, with my mother preparing dinner in the next room. In our apartment there were no older kids who picked on you for no reason. Just the week be- fore, I had been in a fight—I can't remember, after all these years, who it was with; maybe it was Snoony Agata from the third floor— and, after a wild swing, I found I had put my fist through the plate glass window of Schechter's drug store. Mr. Schechter was solicitous: "It's all right, I'm insured," he said as he put some unbelievably painful antiseptic on my wrist. My mother took me to the doctor whose office was on the ground floor of our building. With a pair of tweezers, he pulled out a fragment of glass. Using needle and thread, he sewed two stitches. "Two stitches!" my father had repeated later that night. He knew about stitches, because he was a cutter in the garment industry; his job was to use a very scary power saw to cut out patterns—backs, say, or sleeves for ladies' coats and suits—from an enormous stack of cloth. Then the patterns were conveyed to endless rows of women sitting at sewing machines.

  • The Big Questions: Introduction to Philosophy
    The Big Questions: Introduction to Philosophy Philosophy 110 – CRN 15942 Fall Term 2021 – Purdue University Instructor: Daniel Kelly Teaching Assistants: Jashiel Resto-Quinones, Zoe Stein, and Alex Vrabely Syllabus 1. Course Description There are two main goals of this course. The first is to introduce students to the Western philosophical tradition, its defining themes, and the way those have been developed by major historical and contemporary figures. Such themes include religion (does God exist? is belief in God rational?); perception and its relations to knowledge, reality, and the external world (could we tell if we were living in a computer simulation? what is reality made of?); the nature of personal identity and the self (what makes me, me, now and throughout the course of my life? is there an afterlife, and will I be there?); free will (do the laws of physics determine everything that happens, or do I choose my own pathway through life?); morality (are right and wrong objective, or relative, or what?); and the connection between minds and bodies (does the brain produce consciousness? could a computer become self-aware?) The second goal is to provide students with the tools to refine their thinking, evaluate evidence, articulate their own views, and assess the arguments of others. In a world increasingly beset by fake news, algorithm-driven polarization, and general misinformation, these critical reasoning skills are more crucial than ever. This course will give students many opportunities to hone them on Big Picture topics, too, sharpening their wits on Great Ideas and thinking systematically about Meaning of Life type questions.

  • Psychologism: a Case Study in the Sociology of Philosophical Knowledge/Martin Kusch
    PSYCHOLOGISM For most of this century, Western philosophy has been resolutely antinaturalist, and until recently the sharp distinction between the empirical sciences and philosophy seemed almost self-evident: the questions of why they should be separate, and of how they came to be separate, were never asked. These questions are at the heart of Martin Kusch’s groundbreaking study. Antinaturalism rose to dominance in the debate on psychologism among German academic philosophers at the turn of the century. Psychologism, according to received opinion, was decisively refuted by Frege and Husserl. Kusch therefore examines their arguments and, crucially, relates them to the context that shaped that debate and gave those arguments their persuasive force. Drawing on perspectives pioneered by the sociology of scientific knowledge, he reconstructs the dynamics of the psychologism debate; he uncovers its causes and weighs the factors that determined its outcome. What emerges is the fascinating picture of a struggle, between ‘pure’ philosophy and the newly emerging experimental psychology, for academic status, social influence and institutional power. The triumph of antinaturalism, far from being the only logical conclusion, was dependent on historical contingency. Introducing forms of analysis new to the history of philosophy, Psychologism will make fascinating reading for lecturers and students of philosophy, psychology, sociology and cognitive science; it will also stimulate renewed debate on the prospects of antinaturalism at the close of this century. Martin Kusch is Lecturer at the Science Studies Unit of the University of Edinburgh. He is the author of Language as Calculus vs. Language as Universal Medium (1989), and Foucault’s Strata and Fields (1991).

  • The Unreasonable Destructiveness of Political Correctness in Philosophy
    philosophies Article The Unreasonable Destructiveness of Political Correctness in Philosophy Manuel Doria Advanced Studies Research Group and Fuzzy Sets Laboratory PIT, Production Engineering Program, COPPE, UFRJ P.O. Box 68507, 21945 972, Rio de Janeiro RJ, Brazil; [email protected] Received: 14 March 2017; Accepted: 26 June 2017; Published: 3 August 2017 Abstract: I submit that epistemic progress in key areas of contemporary academic philosophy has been compromised by politically correct (“PC”) ideology. First, guided by an evolutionary account of ideology, results from social and cognitive psychology and formal philosophical methods, I expose evidence for political bias in contemporary Western academia and sketch a formalization for the contents of beliefs from the PC worldview taken to be of core importance, the theory of social oppression and the thesis of anthropological mental egalitarianism. Then, aided by discussions from contemporary epistemology on epistemic values, I model the problem of epistemic appraisal using the frameworks of multi-objective optimization theory and multi-criteria decision analysis and apply it to politically correct philosophy. I conclude that philosophy guided by politically correct values is bound to produce constructs that are less truth-conducive and that spurious values which are ideologically motivated should be abandoned. Objections to my framework stemming from contextual empiricism, the feminine voice in ethics and political philosophy are considered. I conclude by prescribing the epistemic value of empirical adequacy, the contextual value of political diversity and the moral virtue of moral courage to reverse unwarranted trends in academic philosophy due to PC ideology. Keywords: cognitive biases; multi-criteria decision analysis; epistemic appraisal; epistemic values; ideology; metaphilosophy; multi-objective optimization; political correctness; social constructionism; social oppression 1.
