Abstract:

The recent invention of Google Glass has prompted me to contemplate how future technologies will affect the way we interact with one another. In this paper, I argue that Google Glass technology is the first sort of technology that will facilitate us to violate our genuine interactions with one another in a face-to-face setting. Once we diminish these types of interactions, we fail to respect one another on a fundamental level and as a result, we fail to genuinely pursue one of the most important classes of meaningful projects in our lives: developing and maintaining relationships.

Abstract:

The Arab Middle East began indigenous nation building relatively late in the twentieth century. Issues of legitimacy, identity, and conflicts with the West have plagued Arab nations. Arab states have espoused universal ideologies as solutions to the problems of Arab nation building. The two ideologies of Pan-Arabism and Islamic modernism provided universal solutions to the Arab states. Both Pan-Arabism and Islamic modernism gained validity in political polemics aimed against colonialism, imperialism, Zionism, and the West. Both ideologies promised simple solutions to complex questions of build

Abstract:

The importance of the act of reading is one of Miguel de Cervantes's central concerns in Don Quijote de la Mancha. The Spanish author recognizes the importance of the reader and the role that he or she plays in the creation of the literary text. The departure point of the novel is based upon the imaginative encounters between chivalric texts and the mind of an obsessed reader--Don Quijote, himself. Don Quijote, however, is not only a book about an aged madman, it is also a book in which a legion of readers and aspiring writers dwell, and whose background knowledge at times clashes and at other

Abstract:

In this thesis I scavenge the history of philosophy for answers to the question ‘How are claims to knowledge justified?’. I argue that Plato’s psychological doctrine of knowledge marks the starting point of a philosophical inquiry motivated by the possibility to discover foundations of knowledge through investigating the nature of mind. At the core of this inquiry lies the hypothesis that if the psychological mechanisms that govern the capacity for knowledge acquisition is fully understood, then answers will follow about why judgements are true or false. The prospective result of the inquiry i

Abstract:

Tillich frames the question of truth, meaning, and certainty within the spiritual and social crises of the 20th century. Specifically, be addresses the fragmentation of religion, culture, faith, reason, emotion, and the displacement of religion to the periphery of human consciousness. These demonstrate how this compartmentalization and marginalization is due to a misunderstanding of the nature of reason and its relation to being, religious consciousness, language and symbol and reveal religion as the inescapable center of human experience. Tillich reunites these fragments of the psyche

Abstract:

The Maynard-McKeown site is an early 16th-century St. Lawrence Iroquoian village situated near present-day Prescott, Ontario. During the summer of 1987 approximately a quarter of the 1.6 hectare settlement was excavated, including all or portions of twenty-three longhouses, multiple palisades, a defensive ditch, two sweatlodges, and numerous other features of social significance. To date, this site constitutes the largest excavation of a St. Lawrence Iroquoian site in either Canada or the United States and the only such site that has produced evidence of trade with Europeans.

In World of Warcraft, blind spots take the forms of anonymity of players, uncertainty of meaning, venturing through the unknown space, and the hidden. Blind spots form types of knowledge that cannot be ascertained easily or at all while playing. However by identifying them, one can study how meaning is created.

Abstract:

<p> An older generation of historians argued that the translation of Aristotle's political works into Latin in the second half of the thirteenth century caused a secularizing revolution in political thought that severely weakened the authority of the Latin Church over secular kings, overthrowing what is often termed the "papal monarchy." However, this thesis has recently undergone severe criticism, to which I offer a contribution, but also a corrective. Aristotle's political thought had nothing to do with the decline of papal power, for his claim that political institutions were natural to man

Abstract:

After the decline of Latin, philosophers and linguists started developing the idea of creating a new universal language for international communication. Many languages were developed, some of them were designed to be exclusively written, some others were created a priori, meaning that they tried not to draw upon already existing languages, and others a posteriori. These languages were either combinations of already existing word roots and language systems (e.g. Esperanto) or simplifications of languages. One example of the latter is Basic English, created by linguists Charles K. Ogden and Arms

This thesis explores the history of botany as a global collection-based science by tracing parallels between utopian traditions and botanical collecting, from their sixteenth-century beginnings to the present. A range of botanical collections, such as gardens, herbaria and classification systems, have played a central role in the struggle to discover a global or universal scientific order for the chaotic, diverse and locally shaped kingdom of plants. These collections and utopia intersect historically, and are characterised by the same epistemology of collecting: the creation of order through

Abstract:

This thesis investigates ‘subsidiarity’, a principle commonly understood as a preference for authority to be exercised as close as possible to the people. Specifically, the research challenges criticisms that subsidiarity has no real meaning, both in the sense that it is difficult to conceptualise or define (i.e., what does ‘subsidiarity’ mean?), and because some argue it has little benefit or importance for society (i.e. it is meaningless). Against these accusations, the thesis presents a new, clearer way of conceptualising subsidiarity, and evidence from a survey of public attitudes conducte

The aim of this thesis is to build a paradigm to unravel the human mind’s fundamental kinship with the cosmos and its role as the vehicle of the universe’s unfolded meaning. The concept of ‘boundary’ is presented as a primary ontological force that drives, provokes and defines our thinking, consciously and subconsciously, in our attempt to achieve an understanding of self within the cosmos. It provides the hidden thread, the ‘limited concept’ that acts as a guide towards the building of this paradigm.

With this in mind, the basis of this research was the role of street art in protests and the relationship between street art and society.
