  • Two Genealogies of Human Values: Nietzsche Versus Edward O. Wilson on the Consilience of Philosophy, Science and Technology
    Science and Engineering Ethics https://doi.org/10.1007/s11948-019-00095-2 ORIGINAL RESEARCH/SCHOLARSHIP Two Genealogies of Human Values: Nietzsche Versus Edward O. Wilson on the Consilience of Philosophy, Science and Technology Charles C. Verharen1 Received: 18 May 2018 / Accepted: 13 February 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract In the twenty-frst century, Stephen Hawking proclaimed the death of philosophy. Only science can address philosophy’s perennial questions about human values. The essay frst examines Nietzsche’s nineteenth century view to the contrary that philos- ophy alone can create values. A critique of Nietzsche’s contention that philosophy rather than science is competent to judge values follows. The essay then analyzes Edward O. Wilson’s claim that his scientifc research provides empirically-based answers to philosophy’s questions about human values. Wilson’s bold new hypoth- esis about the ‘social conquest of the earth’ challenges Nietzsche’s vision of phi- losophy’s mission. Confronting both Nietzsche and Wilson, the essay then considers three theoretical proposals for a consilience of philosophy, science, engineering and technology. The conclusion presents a working African model of consilience that addresses the existential problem of poverty in the Global South. Keywords Nietzsche · Edward O. Wilson · Philosophy · Science · Technology · Human values Introduction I am still waiting for a philosophical physician, in the exceptional sense of the word—one who has to pursue the problem of the total health of a people, time, race or of humanity—to master the courage to push my suspicion to its limits * Charles C.

  • Intercultural Competence and Skills in the Biology Teachers Training from the Research Procedure of Ethnobiology
    Science Education International 30(4), 310-318 https://doi.org/10.33828/sei.v30.i4.8 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Intercultural Competence and Skills in the Biology Teachers Training from the Research Procedure of Ethnobiology Geilsa Costa Santos Baptista*, Geane Machado Araujo 1Department of Education, State University of Feira de Santana, Feira de Santana City, Bahia State, Brazil, 2Department of Biology, State University of Feira de Santana, Feira de Santana City, Bahia State, Brazil *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT We present and discuss the results of qualitative research based on a case study with biology undergraduate students from a public University of Bahia state, Brazil. The objective was to identify the influence of practical experiences involving ethnobiology applied to science teaching on intercultural dialogue into their initial training. To collect data, undergraduate students were asked to construct narratives revealing the influences of ethnobiology into their training as future teachers. Data were analyzed according to Bardin (1977) and supported by specific literature from the fields of science education and teaching. The thematic categories generated lead us to conclude that the undergraduates of biology teaching made reflections that allowed them to build opinions with meanings that should influence their pedagogical practices with intercultural dialogue. We recommend further studies involving ethnobiology and the training of biology teachers, with a larger sample of participants and the methodological and theoretical procedures of this science. Improvements could be made in biology teacher education curricula that encourage respect and consideration of cultural diversity. We highlight that it is imperative for teacher education courses to generate opportunities for on-site practical experience, in addition to the theory used in the classroom.

  • What Is the Purpose of Ethnobiology in Biology Teacher Training?
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE What is the Purpose of Ethnobiology in Biology Teacher Training? Geilsa Costa Santos Baptista* Department of Education, State University of Feira de Santana, Brazil *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article aims to discuss the purpose of ethnobiology in biology teachers’ training based on conceptions of biology teachers before and after their participation in a training course for science teachers that involved ethnobiology. The research was developed in 2009 and involved semi-structured interviews with nine biology teachers of public schools in the state of Bahia (Northeastern Brazil). Analyzes were conducted inductively, using categories based on the teachers’ answers and carefully studying literature on science teaching. Results indicate that teachers expanded their conceptions about ethnobiology after their participation in the training course. They perceived this science as the study of complex relationships between human beings and other living beings. They also perceived the importance of exploring their students’ cultural knowledge to the intercultural dialog and having ethnobiology as a tool in this process. It is concluded that ethnobiology contributes to the biology teachers’ training guiding his/her practices and giving the opportunity to identify students’ cultural knowledge that can be used in an intercultural dialog with the biology taught in schools; hence, it is imperative to offer training courses for teachers as a starting point. KEY WORDS: ethnobiological research; science teacher training; cultural diversity; intercultural dialog; cultural knowledge INTRODUCTION result from countless relations established between human societies, their cultures, and other living beings. Traditional n science teaching, it is important for teachers to identify knowledge – also cited as ethnobiological knowledge, students’ cultural knowledge.

  • Functionalists Write, Too: Frazer/Malinowski and the Semiotics of the Monograph1
    1 Functionalists Write, Too: Frazer/Malinowski and the Semiotics of the Monograph1 James A. Boon What does the ethnographer do? – he writes (Geertz 1973:19). art of the business of anthropology is to make superficially exotic practices appear familiar and superficially familiar practices exotic. PRegardless of how such practices are experienced by observers, they are interpreted by observers in writing: notes, articles, books. That ethnographic description and ethnological comparison occur as writing suggests the fundamental symbolic remove from whatever immediacy or presence anthropological discourse presumes to embody. All varieties of writing are semiotic systems – shifting signs and symbols that stand for (replace, substitute, differ from) what they are conventionally understood to ‘represent’. Moreover, any writing of ethnographic detail and ethnologi- cal generalization in whatever style or format is constrained by sets of rules and values that at their fullest extent we call cultures. Fieldwork – ‘being there’ – offers no exception to these semiotic facts. Fieldwork is not only a way of doing; it is also a device for writing, a format for organizing description, a conceit around which ethnographic discourse revolves. (It was not always so.) At this level fieldwork, despite the fact that it happens, is a ‘fiction’. Cross-cultural interpretation requires outside help, even when fieldwork works. Cultures cannot be penetrated simply with passports, survey sheets, statistics, genealogies, dictionaries; Source: Semiotica, vol. 46, nos. 2/4, 1983, pp. 131–149. 2 CONTEXTS AND CONTROVErsiES or intuition, benign tolerance, indomitable self-confidence, or studious self-effacement (although each of these may occasionally help!). Rather, cross-cultural interpretation must be made to happen; and it is made to happen by means of semiotic operations derived from sources beyond the conditions of fieldwork proper, as narrowly construed in the functio- nalist school.

  • 1 : Das Europäische Völkerrecht Und Die Ungleichen Verträge Um Die
    1 : Das europäische Völkerrecht und die ungleichen Verträge um die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts Harald Kleinschmidt 1 Einleitung Gut klingt die Forderung nach freiem Handel. Er bringe die Wirtschaft in Schwung, heißt es in den globalen Zentren des Welthandels. Aber wieso gibt es zunehmend mehr Gegner des Freihandels? Die Antwort der Kritiker der internationalen Wirtschaftsordnung lautet: weil auch der Freihandel Regeln zu folgen hat, die die Regierung von Staaten in ihrem eigenen, auch militärischen Interesse manipulieren können. Auch Völkerrecht und internationales öffentliches Recht haben einen guten Namen. Sie gelten als neutral, jedenfalls im Westen. Warum aber ist es seit mehr als einhundertundfünfzig Jahren schwierig, Völkerrecht und internationalem öffentlichen Recht Geltung zu verschaffen? Woher begründet sich der Widerstand gegen sie? Die Antwort der Kritiker der internationalen Politik lautet: weil Völkerrecht und internationales öffentliches Recht zwischenstaatliches Recht sind, das von Staatsinteressen und militärischen Strategien nicht abzutrennen ist. Freihandel und Völkerrecht stehen also seit mehr als einhundertfünfzig Jahren im Zentrum von Debatten um die Gerechtigkeit der internationalen Beziehungen zwischen Staaten. Dieses Büchlein erschließt die Ursprünge der Kritik an Freihandel und Völkerrecht im europäischen Kolonialismus des 19. Jahrhunderts, der das europäische Staatensystem zum Weltstaatensystem aufblies. Kolonialismus, militärische Bedrohung und Krieg waren untrennbar verbunden mit der globalen Expansion des europäischen

  • Anthropology of Food and Nutrition Spring 2017 Syllabus Provisional Update
    Nutrition 330: Anthropology of Food and Nutrition Spring 2017 Syllabus Provisional Update Class Meetings: Wednesday, 3:15-6:15 pm in Jaharis 155 Instructor: Ellen Messer, PhD (http://www.nutrition.tufts.edu/faculty/messer-ellen) Contact: [email protected] Office Hours: TBA Tufts Graduate Credit: 1 cr. Prerequisites: Some social science background Course Description: This course provides an advanced introduction to anthropological theory and methods designed for food and nutrition science and policy graduate students. Section 1 covers anthropology's four-field modes of inquiry, cross-cutting theoretical approaches and thematic interest groups, their respective institutions and intellectual concerns. Section 2 demonstrates applications of these concepts and methods to cutting-edge food and nutrition issues. Assignments and activities incorporate background readings, related discussions, and short writing assignments, plus an anthropological literature review on a focused food and nutrition project, relevant to their particular interests. The course overall encourages critical thinking and scientific assessment of anthropology's evidence base, analytical tools, logic, and meaning-making, in the context of contributions to multi-disciplinary research and policy teams. Weekly 3-hour sessions feature an introductory overview lecture, student-facilitated discussion of readings, and professor-moderated debate or exercise illustrating that week's themes. Throughout the term, participants keep a written reading log (critical response diary), to be handed in week 3 and 6. In lieu of a mid-term exam, there are two 2-page graded written essay assignments, due weeks 4 and 8. The term-long food-and nutrition proposal- writing project will explore anthropological literature on a focused food and nutrition question, with an outline due week 9, and a short literature review and annotated bibliography due week 12.
