Greek terms in quotations are presented as they are in the source material. The major exceptions are the three translations (the essays of Cassin, Aubenque, and Deleuze). In these Greek terms are rendered the same way as in the original essays. For Deleuze, this is barely an issue (he mentions physis once); Aubenque mostly keeps the Greek terms in Greek, although he speaks of the aporetic and autarchic; Cassin keeps the Greek script for any quotation over a certain length, but her essay is fi lled with shorter Greek pas- sages that she transliterates. Each essay is followed by its own bibliography. Again, the exceptions are the translations, in which citations are limited to the notes and mostly follow the original texts. 55287_Greenstine287_Greenstine & JJohnson.inddohnson.indd iixx 110/02/170/02/17 110:430:43 AAMM 55287_Greenstine287_Greenstine & JJohnson.inddohnson.indd x 110/02/170/02/17 110:430:43 AAMM Notes on Contributors Pierre Aubenque is Professor Emeritus at the University of Paris-Sorbonne and Secretary General for L’Institut international de Philosophie.

  • The Behavioral Sciences: Essays in Honor of GEORGE A. LUNDBERG
    The Behavioral Sciences: Essays in Honor of George A. Lundberg The Behavioral Sciences: Essays in Honor of GEORGE A. LUNDBERG edited by ALFRED DE GRAZIA RoLLoHANDY E. C. HARWOOD PAUL KURTZ published by The Behavioral Research Council Great Barrington, Massachusetts Copyright © 1968 by Behavioral Research Council Preface This volume of collected essays is dedicated to the memory of George A. Lundberg. It is fitting that this volume is published under the auspices of the Behavioral Research Council. George Lundberg, as its first President, and one of its founding members, was dedicated to the goals of the Behavioral Research Council: namely, the encouragement and development of behavioral science research and its application to the problems of men in society. He has been a constant inspiration to behavioral research not only in sociology, where he was considered to be a classic figure and a major influence but in the behavioral sciences in general. Part One of this volume includes papers on George Lundberg and his scientific work, particularly in the field of sociology. Orig­ inally read at a special conference of the Pacific Sociological Association (March 30-April 1, 1967), the papers are here pub­ lished by permission of the Society. Part Two contains papers not directly on George Lundberg but on themes and topics close to his interest. They are written by members of the Behavioral Research Council. We hope that this volume is a token, however small, of the pro­ found contribution that George Lundberg has made to the de­ velopment of the behavioral sciences. We especially wish to thank the contributors of the George A.

  • WAS SUMAROKOV a LOCKEAN SENSUALIST? on Locke's Reception in Eighteenth-Century Russia
    Part One. Sumarokov and the Literary Process of His Time 8 WAS SUMAROKOV A LOCKEAN SENSUALIST? On Locke’s Reception in Eighteenth-Century Russia Despite the fact that Locke occupied a central place in European En- lightenment thought, his works were little known in Russia. Locke is often listed among those important seventeenth-century figures including Ba- con, Spinoza, Gassendi, and Hobbes, whose ideas formed the intellectual background for the Petrine reforms; Prokopovich, Kantemir, Tatishchev and perhaps Peter himself were acquainted with Locke’s ideas, but for most Russians in the eighteenth century Locke was little more than an illustrious name. Locke’s one book that did have a palpable impact was his Some Thoughts Concerning Education, translated by Nikolai Popovskii from a French version, published in 1759 and reprinted in 1788.1 His draft of a textbook on natural science was also translated, in 1774.2 Yet though Locke as pedagogue was popular, his reception in Russia, as Marc Raeff has noted, was overshadowed by the then current “infatuation with Rousseau’s pedagogical ideas.”3 To- ward the end of the century some of Locke’s philosophical ideas also held an attraction for Russian Sentimentalists, with their new interest in subjective 1 The edition of 1760 was merely the 1759 printing with a new title page (a so- called “titul’noe izdanie”).

  • The Impact of Academic Freedom Policies on Critical Thinking Instruction
    The Impact of Academic Freedom Policies on Critical Thinking Instruction Shirley Fessel, MA, MEd Instructor of English Park University Critical thinking enjoys almost universal support, except when applied to controversial topics. Yet it is these topics that are often the most effective initiators of critical thinking exercises that improve students’ rational approaches to challenging problems. The use of controversial issues to promote critical thinking requires an institutional commitment to academic freedom in order to survive. In some institutional contexts, the most crucial need for critical thinking is the very condition under which it is least likely to be applied. Instead, avoidance of controversy seems to be the predominant policy of institutions fearful of expensive lawsuits or damaging public relations. Several trends are decreasing the likelihood that critical thinking is applied in the classroom to challenging topics: demands for increased accountability from legislatures; scrutiny of adopted content standards; oversight of Internet and other intellectual work of professors affiliated with the universities; student challenges to faculty instruction; and attempts to curtail ideological diversity. This paper describes these current dynamics which erode academic freedom and thus the ability to apply critical thinking to controversial topics. The paper also recommends that institutions and faculty adopt clearly delineated policies related to academic freedom in order to ensure faculty freedom to promote critical thinking. Awareness of how these trends impact the instructional climate enables teachers to design instruction and be more proactive in guaranteeing that critical thinking about controversial topics is able to flourish under academic freedom. Critical thinking is defined as making judgments about the truthfulness and worth of the statement.

  • Hegel and Aristotle
    This page intentionally left blank HEGEL AND ARISTOTLE Hegel is, arguably, the most difficult of all philosophers. To find a way through his thought, interpreters have usually approached him as though he were developing Kantian and Fichtean themes. This book is the first to demonstrate in a systematic way that it makes much more sense to view Hegel’s idealism in relation to the metaphysical and epis- temological tradition stemming from Aristotle. This book offers an account of Hegel’s idealism and in particular his notions of reason, subjectivity, and teleology, in light of Hegel’s inter- pretation, discussion, assimilation, and critique of Aristotle’s philoso- phy. It is the first systematic analysis comparing Hegelian and Aris- totelian views of system and history; being, metaphysics, logic, and truth; nature and subjectivity; spirit, knowledge, and self-knowledge; ethics and politics. In addition, Hegel’s conception of Aristotle’s phi- losophy is contrasted with alternative conceptions typical of his time and ours. No serious student of Hegel can afford to ignore this major new in- terpretation. Moreover, because it investigates with enormous erudi- tion the relation between two giants of the Western philosophical tra- dition, this book will speak to a wider community of readers in such fields as history of philosophy and history of Aristotelianism, meta- physics and logic, philosophy of nature, psychology, ethics, and politi- cal science.

This is a result of the volatile infusion and mixing of the logic of calculative rationality at work in consumer capitalism with the logic of scientific instrumental rationality already hegemonic in academia. This adds to the demands of the academic world of production the demands of the world of consumption. Now the academic (and also the student) is interpellated not only as a producer of knowledge but also as an object of consumption (to be consumed by others).

TT^NGLISHMEN and Americans frequently use the ^ word "sensualist" to describe one in whom the animal appetites are predominant. We shall see that it is a just charge against the Sensualistic philosophy, that it not seldom inclines its advocates to this dominion of beastly lusts. But it is not from this fact that we draw the phrase by which we name it. The Sensualistic philosophy is that theory, which resolves all the powers of the human spirit into the functions of the five senses, and modifications thereof. It is the philosophy which finds all its rudiments in sensation. It not only denies to the spirit of man all innate ideas, but all innate powers of originating ideas, save those given us from our senses.

  • Some Major Issues and Developments in the Philosophy Ofscience Oflogical Empiricism
    -----HERBERT FEIGL----- Some Major Issues and Developments in the Philosophy ofScience ofLogical Empiricism AsouT twenty-five years ago a small group of philosophically minded scientists and scientifically trained philosophers in Vienna formulated their declaration of independence from traditional philosophy. The pamphlet Wissenschaftliche Weltauffassung: Der Wiener Kreis (1929) contained the first succinct statement of the outlook which soon after became known as "logical positivism." In the first flush of enthusiasm we Viennese felt we had attained a philosophy to end all philosophies. Schlick spoke of a "Wende der Philosophie" (a decisive turning point of philosophy). Neurath and Frank declared "school philosophy" as obsolete and even suggested that our outlook drop the word "philoso­ phy" altogether, and replace it by "Einheitswissenschaft" or by "scien· tific empiricism." The notable impact of Alfred Ayer's first book in England, and my own efforts ~oward a propagation of Logical Positiv­ ism in the United States during the early thirties, and then the immi· gration of Carnap, Frank, von Mises, Reichenbach, Hempel and Berg­ mann created a powerful movement, but it elicited also sharp opposition nncl criticism. Through the discussions within the movement and its own production and progressive work, as well as in response to the NO'l'F.: This essay is a revised and considerably expanded .version of a lecture given in plenary session at the International Congress for Philosophy of Science, Zurich, /\ngust 25, 1954. It was first- published in Proceedi11gs of the Secono International Congress of the International Union for tl1e Philosophy ot Science (Neuchatel, Switzerland, 19 55). In the cordial letter of invitation I received from Professor Ferdinand Gonseth, president of the Congress, he asked me to discuss "I'empirisme logi<\ue,-ce qu'il fut, et ce qu'il est clevenu." Much as I appreciated the honor of t 1is ambitious assignment, I realized of course that the limitations of time would permit me to deal onJy with some selected topics within this larger frame.
