OROPEZA Department of Philosophy APPROVED: Jules Simon, Ph.D., Chair Luciana Garbayo, Ph.D. Ann B. Horak, Ph.D. Bess Sirmon-Taylor, Ph.D. Interim Dean of the Graduate School Copyright © by Robert L. Oropeza 2014 Dedication I’d like to dedicate this to my family. Without their love and support I would not have made it this far. I’d also like to extend a special dedication to my nieces; although I am the first of our family to make it through graduate school, I certainly hope I will not be the last. I would like to dedicate this to the chair of my committee Dr. Jules Simon, without whom, many of us in the program would not have come this far.
