Overall, it worked very well and it is recommended that it should be kept in future. Setting and marking All of the papers were prepared in time for the deadline set by the Exam Schools. The Secure Weblearn site worked smoothly. There were no issues with marking deadlines this year and the new timetable made it possible for the Chair, Convenors and administrative staff to check that all paperwork (marksheets, etc.) was available for consultation upon the arrival of the external examiners. Most third readings could be arranged and completed before the start of 11th week. Illegal combinations of options Seven candidates entered for the examination with an illegal combination of subjects. Some of these candidates were able to change their options in time; in the remaining cases the candidate’s college successfully appealed to Education Committee. It is hoped that the new algorithm for students and tutors to check Greats option choices, which has kindly been produced by , will help eliminate illegal combinations of options in future.

I show that a letter from MacDonald to Ryle found at Linacre College, Oxford, was part of an extensive correspondence, and that the two were intimate friends and philosophical interlocutors, and I explore the relationship between their respective philosophies. MacDonald, who studied with Wittgenstein before coming to Oxford in 1937, deployed and developed Wittgensteinian themes in her own subsequent work. I show that this work was an important source of ideas in Ryle’s philosophy. I examine two episodes: (1) a 1937 symposium in which MacDonald gave the lead paper, and Ryle was a respondent – I argue that Ryle derived his famous distinction between knowledge-how and knowledge-that from her paper; and (2) Ryle’s rejection in Dilemmas (1953/4) of the central importance of the idea of a ‘category mistake’–I argue that this may have been in response to MacDonald’scriticalreviewof The Concept of Mind.

  • An Evaluation of Elizabeth Anscombe Thoughts On
    International Journal of Public Administration and Management Research (IJPAMR), Vol. 4, No 3, April, 2018. Available online at http://www.rcmss.com/index.php/ijpamr; www.academix.ng ISSN: 2350 - 2231(E) ISSN: 2 346 - 7215 (P) Tamunosiki V. Ogan , 2018, 4(3) :86 - 90 AN EVALUATION OF ELIZABETH ANSCOMBE THOUGHTS O N CONSEQUENTIALISM Tamunosiki V. Ogan , PhD Depart ment of Philosophy, University o f Port Harcourt , Nigeria ABSTRACT All human actions revolve around being right or wrong, good or bad. Humans are therefore sadd led with the responsibility of carrying out right actions. Value statements as well as value in terms of good or bad are given to human actions, and it is the responsibility of ethics to give value judgement. The giving of this judgement is formed against various paradigm s for judgment. The consequences of action become important for those who consider themselves as consequentialist s . For them, the moral rightness of an action is determined by the level of good that emerges from a given action. Could this b e generally acceptable? Should the consequences of actions be the background on which value judgements are to be made or human actions? The emergence of Anscombe’s critique on utilitarianism is formed against this backdrop. For her virtue ethics should tak e the driver’s seat hence actions ought not to be evaluated using the “morally ought” because it gives room for any possible action provided the consequences is good. In up - holding this, she postulates moral psychology as a way forward which she also consi ders to be problematic because the content needs to be properly understood and explained.

  • “Why We Must Teach Western Civilization”
    WHY WE MUST TEACH WESTERN CIVILIZATION By Andrew Roberts National Review, April 30, 2020 (MAY 18, 2020, Issue) On Tuesday, December 3, 1940, Winston Churchill read a memorandum by the military strategist Basil Liddell Hart that advocated making peace with Nazi Germany. It argued, in a summary written by Churchill’s private secretary, Jock Colville, that otherwise Britain would soon see “Western Europe racked by warfare and economic hardship; the legacy of centuries, in art and culture, swept away; the health of the nation dangerously impaired by malnutrition, nervous strains and epidemics; Russia . profiting from our exhaustion.” Colville admitted it was “a terrible glimpse of the future,” but nonetheless courageously concluded that “we should be wrong to hesitate” in rejecting any negotiation with Adolf Hitler. It is illuminating — especially in our own time of “nervous strains and epidemics” — that in that list of horrors, the fear of losing the “legacy of centuries” of Western European art and culture rated above almost everything else. For Churchill and Colville, the prospect of losing the legacy of Western civilization was worse even than that of succumbing to the hegemony of the Soviet Union. Yet today, only eight decades later, we have somehow reached a situation in which Sonalee Rashatwar, who is described by the Philadelphia Inquirer as a “fat-positivity activist and Instagram therapist,” can tell that newspaper, “I love to talk about undoing Western civilization because it’s just so romantic to me.” Whilst their methods are obviously not so appallingly extreme, Ms. Rashatwar and the cohorts who genuinely want to “undo” Western civilization are now succeeding where Adolf Hitler and the Nazis failed.

  • New Directions in Gender and Sexuality in Classical Antiquity This
    AALAC Workshop: New Directions in Gender and Sexuality in Classical Antiquity This workshop examines the study of gender and sexuality in the ancient Mediterranean, with a particular focus on the contributions of AALAC scholars. Classics has long stood at the forefront of inquiry into gender and sexuality, and recent years have seen marked developments in the institutional place of these subjects. In addition, landmark studies, such as Marilyn Skinner’s Sexuality in Greek and Roman Culture (2nd ed.), provide new impetus to reflect on the study of gender and sexuality in Classics. A vibrant community of scholars with interests in this field exists among AALAC institutions. This workshop will bring that diverse community together to explore new directions in scholarship and teaching. We seek to explain and communicate our research more broadly to colleagues at home institutions and within the profession. We will share our research and push ahead in a collective endeavor to enrich our perspectives, to broaden our audiences, and to forge new alliances. We seek to create a productive network among faculty at Liberal Arts Colleges. The workshop will focus es on a range of questions: 1) What are the newest directions in the research and teaching of gender and sexuality, and how will Classics continue to shape and participate in the discussion? 2) What advances have been made in neighboring disciplines, and how can Classicists continue interdisciplinary and collaborative work? 3) Which pedagogical approaches are most effective in terms of sources, course structures, and syllabi? 4) How can SLAC scholars better incorporate gender and sexuality into their academic pursuits? The proposed workshop will take place over two days in spring 2015 at Amherst College.
