  • I Was Among Those Who Wanted to Become Richard Sylvan (Né
    The Bulletin of Symbolic Logic Volume 4, Number 3, Sept. 1998 IN MEMORIAM: RICHARD (ROUTLEY) SYLVAN 1935-1996 I was among those who wanted to become Richard Sylvan (ne´ Routley). Logician, metaphysician, social and environmental philosopher, builder of systems and houses, colleague and adviser, lover of Nature–Richard had many personae. But the ambition to be Sylvan was (and is) too large. And anyway it must be withdrawn, after his sudden death on 16 June, 1996 of a massive heart attack while visiting the island of Bali, Indonesia, with his second wife Louise. Sylvan was a great credit to our ANU Institute of Advanced Studies. Sadly, he did not always receive optimal support, for reasons that reflect badly both on him and on us. On him, because he was a difficult (though not unpleasant) man. In response we his colleagues sometimes had difficulty in suffering him, often on grounds that shame our pretensions to be a great university. Nonetheless Sylvan’s academic record was outstanding. He bore individ- ual or joint responsibility for some 27 books and booklets, together with scores and scores of highly innovative professional articles. In philosophy Richard “covered the waterfront,” tackling topics in (among others) logic, epistemology, metaphysics, ethics and environmental philosophy. For his contributions he was elected to the Australian Academy of the Humanities in 1977, but he resigned from that body in 1980. Richard Routleywas born in New Zealand in December, 1935. He received his bachelor’s degree from Victoria University of Wellington, going on to graduate study in philosophy at Princeton in 1959-61.

  • Corporate Impersonation: the Possibilities of Personhood in American Literature, 1886-1917
    Corporate Impersonation: The Possibilities of Personhood in American Literature, 1886-1917 by Nicolette Isabel Bruner A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee Professor Gregg D. Crane, Chair Professor Susanna L. Blumenthal, University of Minnesota Professor Jonathan L. Freedman Associate Professor Scott R. Lyons “Everything…that the community chooses to regard as such can become a subject—a potential center—of rights, whether a plant or an animal, a human being or an imagined spirit; and nothing, if the community does not choose to regard it so, will become a subject of rights, whether human being or anything else.” -Alexander Nékám, 1938 © Nicolette Isabel Bruner Olson 2015 For my family – past, present, and future. ii Acknowledgements This dissertation could not have been completed without the support of my committee: Gregg Crane, Jonathan Freedman, Scott Lyons, and Susanna Blumenthal. Gregg Crane has been a constant source of advice and encouragement whose intimate knowledge of law and literature scholarship has been invaluable to my own development as a scholar. Jonathan Freedman’s class on “Fictions of Finance” inspired much of the work in this dissertation, as did Susanna Blumenthal’s seminar on “The Concept of the Person” during my time at the University of Michigan Law School. Jonathan’s good humor, grace, and sympathetic yet critical eye have profoundly shaped my work. As I have expanded my research into animal studies, Scott Lyons guided me to new intellectual domains. Finally, ever since I began working with her during my first year of law school, Susanna has been a source of wisdom, encouragement, and generosity.

  • The History and Philosophy of the Postwar American Counterculture
    The History and Philosophy of the Postwar American Counterculture: Anarchy, the Beats and the Psychedelic Transformation of Consciousness By Ed D’Angelo Copyright © Ed D’Angelo 2019 A much shortened version of this paper appeared as “Anarchism and the Beats” in The Philosophy of the Beats, edited by Sharin Elkholy and published by University Press of Kentucky in 2012. 1 The postwar American counterculture was established by a small circle of so- called “beat” poets located primarily in New York and San Francisco in the late 1940s and 1950s. Were it not for the beats of the early postwar years there would have been no “hippies” in the 1960s. And in spite of the apparent differences between the hippies and the “punks,” were it not for the hippies and the beats, there would have been no punks in the 1970s or 80s, either. The beats not only anticipated nearly every aspect of hippy culture in the late 1940s and 1950s, but many of those who led the hippy movement in the 1960s such as Gary Snyder and Allen Ginsberg were themselves beat poets. By the 1970s Allen Ginsberg could be found with such icons of the early punk movement as Patty Smith and the Clash. The beat poet William Burroughs was a punk before there were “punks,” and was much loved by punks when there were. The beat poets, therefore, helped shape the culture of generations of Americans who grew up in the postwar years. But rarely if ever has the philosophy of the postwar American counterculture been seriously studied by philosophers.

Black Seed no. 5: With frenemies like these… . 16 E. Fascism ....................................... 20 Conclusion .......................................... 25 2 Eco-extremists and aligned theorists writing in the English language have contributed little regarding recent polemics against our Tendency. This is a wise decision since, for those whohate us, our words only inflame their hatred all the more and, while we don’t mind being hated,we would rather focus our energies elsewhere. Our enemies seem to thrive on finding opponents they are unable to defeat (Nazis, the Republican Party, civilization, etc.) so accumulating a few more enemies can make it seem like they are getting somewhere., We neither need nor desire their parasitic attention. Unfortunately for us, aligned parties have asked us to respond, and to that end we have pro- duced this essay. Herein we seek to inform on certain controversial topics that Anglophone read- ers may have missed in an environment of social media and twenty-four hour distraction. We do this both for those interested in what we write, but also for those who hate us. If that much emo- tional investment is going to be placed in events that occur outside of one’s immediate sphere, it might as well be for the right reasons. We will primarily address the essay, “Of Indiscriminate Attacks & Wild Reactions,” from the Olympia-based “edelweiss pirates.” We will also touch on criticisms expressed in Black Seed 5, as well as in other communiqués and call-outs issued in the last six months or so as needed.

  • Richard Sylvan (Born Richard Routley) on Nonexistent Objects
    Richard Sylvan (born Richard Routley) on Nonexistent Objects https://www.ontology.co/sylvanr.htm Theory and History of Ontology by Raul Corazzon | e-mail: [email protected] Richard Sylvan [born Richard Routley] on Nonexistent Objects INTRODUCTION "On the June 16th, 1996, Richard Sylvan died of a sudden and unexpected heart attack. His death, at the relatively young age of 60, robbed Australasia of one of its greatest philosophers, arguably the most original that it has ever produced. Richard was born Francis Richard Routley at Levin, New Zealand, on 13 December, 1935. He changed his name to Sylvan -- much to the confusion of a number of people -- when he remarried in 1983. After studying at the Victoria University of Wellington, he took a job at the University of Sydney, in Australia, where he lived for the rest of his life. He had several other jobs in Australia, including one at the University of New England, where, with Len Goddard, he trained a generation of Australian logicians. In 1971, he took up a position at the Australian National University, in Canberra, where he worked until his untimely death. Richard was a most unusual person -- by any standards. He would rise at dawn, write philosophy till lunch, then pursue his hobbies, like building houses or tending the forests that he owned, till the sun went down, when he would open a bottle of wine and relax. To those who did not know him well, he could appear blunt, aggressive, and he could certainly be a difficult person for university administrators to get on with.

  • 2019 Company of Ideas Forum on Art and Moral Conscience 24-26 June 2019 the Company of Ideas Forum
    2019 Company of Ideas Forum on Art and Moral Conscience 24-26 June 2019 THE COMPANY OF IDEAS FORUM The Company of Ideas was established by Jeffrey Rubinoff in 2008 to discuss major issues relating to art and society. Of Rubinoff’s many concerns, the most fundamental related to morality and conscience. Rubinoff believed that a ‘mature individual conscience’ was not only the basis for original art but also for sustained social engagement. He was convinced that serious artists were obliged to address the biggest issues of their time, which in his view were the ‘existential threats’ of nuclear weapons and human genetic engi- neering. In doing so, they could influence their audience’s thinking and contribute to historical change. J. Rubinoff Series 6 – Andromeda 9 | Photo by J. Rubinoff J.

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: FOR THE END IS A LIMIT: THE QUESTION CONCERNING THE ENVIRONMENT Ozguc Orhan, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Dissertation Directed By: Professor Charles E. Butterworth Department of Government and Politics Professor Ken Conca Department of Government and Politics This dissertation argues that Aristotle’s philosophy of praxis (i.e., ethics and politics) can contribute to our understanding of the contemporary question concerning the environment. Thinking seriously about the environment today calls for resisting the temptation to jump to conclusions about Aristotle’s irrelevance to the environment on historicist grounds of incommensurability or the fact that Aristotle did not write specifically on environmental issues as we know them. It is true that environmental problems are basically twentieth-century phenomena, but the larger normative discourses in which the terms “environmental” and “ecological” and their cognates are situated should be approached philosophically, namely, as cross-cultural and trans-historical phenomena that touch human experience at a deeper level. The philosophical perspective exploring the discursive meaning behind contemporary environmental praxis can reveal to us that certain aspects of Aristotle’s thought are relevant, or can be adapted, to the ends of environmentalists concerned with developmental problems. I argue that Aristotle’s views are already accepted and adopted in political theory and the praxis of the environment in many respects. In the first half of the dissertation, I

  • Anarchism and the British Warfare State: the Prosecution of the War Commentary Anarchists, 1945*
    IRSH 60 (2015), pp. 257–284 doi:10.1017/S0020859015000188 © 2015 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Anarchism and the British Warfare State: The Prosecution of the War Commentary Anarchists, 1945* C ARISSA H ONEYWELL Department of Psychology, Sociology and Politics, Sheffield Hallam University Heart of the Campus Building, Collegiate Crescent, Collegiate Campus, Sheffield S10 2BQ, UK E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The arrest and prosecution in 1945 of a small group of London anarchists associated with the radical anti-militarist and anti-war publication War Commentary at first appears to be a surprising and anomalous set of events, given that this group was hitherto considered to be too marginal and lacking in influence to raise official concern. This article argues that in the closing months of World War II the British government decided to suppress War Commentary because officials feared that its polemic might foment political turmoil and thwart postwar policy agendas as military personnel began to demobilize and reassert their civilian identities. For a short period of time, in an international context of “demobilization crisis”, anarchist anti-militarist polemic became a focus of both state fears of unrest and a public sphere fearing ongoing military regulation of public affairs. Analysing the positions taken by the anarchists and government in the course of the events leading to the prosecution of the editors of War Commentary, the article will draw on “warfare- state” revisions to the traditional “welfare-state” historiography of the period for a more comprehensive view of the context of these events. At the beginning of 1945, shortly before the war ended, a small group of London anarchists associated with the radical anti-militarist and anti-war publication War Commentary1 were arrested and prosecuted.
