Marcotte, Roxanne D. "Ibn Miskawayh's concept of the intellect (ʻAql)." Thesis, McGill University, 1992. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=56920.

Abstract:

Miskawayh's theory of intellect is the subject of this thesis; in addition, the historical and conceptual sources--Greek and Islamic--that were to shape Miskawayh's noetic are examined. The first part of this thesis examines the Greek tradition and its first most complete work dealing with the intellect, Aristotle's De Anima. Then, Alexander of Aphrodisias' noetic, as it is found in his Risalah fi/ 'Aql, Plotinus' conception of Intelligence, as it occurs in his Theologia Aristotelis and Proclus' conception of Intelligence, as it occurs in his Liber de Causis and finally, Themistius' noetic which is elaborated in his commentary of Aristotle's De Anima will be examined and evaluated in relation to Miskawayh's noetic. The second part of this thesis examines the Islamic tradition. The noetics of al-Kindiand of al-Farabi elaborated in their respective Risalah fi al-'Aql, are examined. In spite of Miskawayh's apparent shunning of his Islamic tradition, he is greatly influenced by it. The last part of this thesis examines Miskawayh's noetic as it can be reconstructed from his works: the Risalah fi al-Nafs wa al-'Aql, the al-Fawz al-Asghar and the Tahdhib al-Akhlaq. However, the use of the Risalah fial- 'Aql wa al-Ma'qul, a text attributed to Miskawayh, for the reconstruction of Miskawayh's noetic is more problematic. At he end of this study, it will appear that Miskawayh's noetic is indebted to both Greek and Islamic traditions. In spite of Miskawayh's explicit emphasis on Aristotelian aspects, he implicitly adheres to cosmological and anthropological speculations belonging to his Islamic tradition, which in turn, are greatly influenced by Neoplatonism. Thus Miskawayh, in an attempt to revive and utilize the Greek heritage, operated a rearticulation of the noeticsphere.

Abstract:

Varumärken värderas högt och är en av företags viktigaste tillgångar. Trots detta finns det företag som misslyckats med att differentiera och kommunicera sitt varumärke. Webbyrån Intellecta Webbs varumärke är idag otydligt och byrån är relativt anonym på marknaden för webbtjänster. Varumärket ger inte en rättvisande bild av verksamheten, vilket utgör ett stort problem för avdelningen. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur Intellecta Webbs varumärke uppfattas både ur internt och externt perspektiv. Uppsatsen syftar också till att undersöka hur Intellecta Webb önskar att varumärket ska uppfattas i framtiden och vad avdelningen bör fokusera på för att bygga upp ett starkt varumärke.

Abstract:

This dissertation offers a new and comprehensive analysis of Abū Naṣr al-Fārābī's (d. 950) cosmology by focusing on various important issues that have been largely neglected by the modern scholarship. It provides an examination of the physical, metaphysical, and astronomical aspects of al-Fārābī's cosmology by adopting a multidisciplinary approach that takes into account the history of philosophy and the history of astronomy. Accordingly, my dissertation explores how al-Fārābī attempted to reconcile features of Ptolemaic astronomy with Aristotelian and Neoplatonic theories, an endeavor which resulted in the formulation of innovative cosmological ideas. Chapters I and II provide background information on al-Fārābī's activity as a commentator and his relation to the Greek commentatorial tradition and assess the relevant primary sources. In addition, they examine al-Fārābī's approach to cosmology and his scientific method in terms of both the Ptolemaic astronomical tradition and the Aristotelian corpus. Chapter III addresses problems related to the structure of al-Fārābī's cosmology, especially the origin of his ennadic cosmological model and his spherology. Particular attention is devoted to the question of how Aristotle's unmoved movers and Ptolemy's astronomical theories are reconciled. Chapters IV, V, and VI analyze the place of celestial matter, intellect, and motion respectively in al-Fārābī's cosmology and attempt to redefine the second teacher's relation to the various trends of Greek philosophy. The study stresses al-Fārābī's connection with the Neoplatonic and Peripatetic currents, particularly with thinkers such as Alexander of Aphrod
Cette thèse présente une analyse novatrice et exhaustive de la cosmologie d'Abū Naṣr al-Fārābī (mort 950) en exposant divers concepts issus de ses ouvrages. Les deux premiers chapitres récapitulent la contribution d'al-Fārābī à la tradition des commentaires grecs et arabes, évaluent les sources premières, et examinent la méthode cosmologique du deuxième maître, autant vis-à-vis de la tradition astronomique ptoléméenne que vis-à-vis du corpus aristotélicien. La place de l'astronomie, de l'astrologie, de la physique et de la métaphysique dans la méthode cosmologique, et l'importance de la démonstration et de l'analogie, sont examinées afin de reconstituer la méthodologie employée par al-Fārābī. La structure de sa cosmologie, et en particulier la question de l'origine de son modèle énnadique, ainsi que la relation entre les moteurs immobiles aristotéliciens et les théories cinétiques ptoléméennes sont soulevées dans le chapitre III. Les chapitres IV, V, et VI, étudient, quant à eux, la matière céleste, l'intellect, et le mouvement des astres, tout en délinéant l'influence que les auteurs grecs eurent sur al-Fārābī. L'analyse montre les liens étroits qui unissent al-Fārābī aux mouvances péripatéticienne et néoplatonicienne de l'antiquité, et particulièrement à Alexandre d'Aphrodise, Themistius, et Proclus. Conséquemment, l'auteur critique la thèse Mahdienne selon laquelle la philosophie d'al-Fārābī serait principalement redevable à la philosophie politique du moyen-platonisme. L'accent est placé non seulement sur les correspondances entre le deuxième maître et ses prédécesseurs grecs, mais aussi sur les$

Stumm, Sophie von. "Intelligence, investment and intellect : re-examining intelligence-personality associations." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2010. http://research.gold.ac.uk/4764/.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation emphasises a developmental perspective on intelligence-personality associations, whereby personality traits are thought to affect when, where and how people apply and invest their intelligence and thus, to shape adult intellect. A first study addressed methodological issues in computing intelligence-personality associations and demonstrated that failure to separate variances of latent traits of ability into specific and common components affects the magnitude of correlation coefficients; these distortion effects, however, were overall small suggesting negligible consequences for the understanding of intelligence-personality associations. Secondly, existing investment trait constructs were identified from the psychological literature, and their associations with indicators of adult intellect were meta-analysed. The results suggested that investment was significantly (positively) associated with intellect, and consistently so across traits and indicators. A third study confirmed that the investmen-tintellect association was not confounded by general intelligence but remained significant after controlling for ability. Subsequently, investment traits were newly conceptualised in terms of a multifaceted curiosity construct, including epistemic, perceptual and social curiosity. These facets were examined in relation to a newly developed knowledge test, which spanned thirteen domains of knowledge to comprehensively assess adult intellect. The results showed that curiosity was related to knowledge, even though associations varied in their strength and direction across curiosity facets, and they also differed in their relationship to general intelligence. Specifically, diverse perceptual curiosity, which refers to exploratory behaviour in response to sensory (e. g. visual, auditory, and tactile) stimulation, had a positive effect on knowledge independently of general intelligence. In conclusion, the investment theory was supported as an underlying mechanism of intelligence-personality associations, even though the nature of investment was found to differ from traditional conceptions. Specifically, intellect may be significantly shaped by a healthy sense of exploration and a general hunger for experience, which are not necessarily ‘intellectual’ per se.

Abstract:

Attraktion avser gillandet och dragningskraften till en annan människa som kan leda till en relationsutveckling, vänskaplig som romantisk. Syftet med den här studien var att visa hur främst romantisk attraktion upplevs i det vardagliga livet. Studien utfördes med en kvalitativ forskningsmetod, med ett blandat urval i åldrarna 22-70 år. Undersökningen avser tio intervjuer som är genomförda i Mellansverige och som kan bidra med en bredare studie inom attraktionsforskning till skillnad från tidigare nischade undersökningar inom ett fåtal variabler. Analysen visade att samtliga fann det attraktivt med; 1) att bjuda på sig själv, 2) intellekt, 3) ömsesidighet och systematik i kontakten, 4) tillit, 5) likhet och komplement, 6) yttre attribut, 7) spänning samt 8) bekräftelse. Generaliserbarheten är begränsad med tanke på antal deltagare i undersökningen.

Bolick, Laura. "Culture, humanism and intellect : Cardinal Bessarion as patron of the arts." Thesis, Open University, 2013. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.602374.

Full text

Abstract:

To date many scholars seem to have agreed that Cardinal Bessarion was a physical and spiritual exile from Constantinople who sought to preserve his national culture in the alien environment of fifteenth-century Rome. In this thesis I am seeking to re-open the debate about Bessarion's role and aspirations in western Europe as expressed through the mechanism of his cultural projects. I argue that, in his guise as a Roman cardinal, he endeavoured to establish a western identity for himself that furthered his political goals. Though he never rejected his Byzantine roots, the messages he seems to have conveyed through artistic and literary patronage suggest that he was working towards some sort of assimilation into his Italian environment. By examining key projects that the cardinal patronised I identify strong western characteristics in terms of style and message. His major fresco commission for his burial chapel in SS Apostoli, Rome was executed by Antoniazzo Romano, a local Roman artist, using stylistic and iconographic H vocabularies that were. current in quattrocento Italy. Bessarion then commissioned an icon from the same artist rather than from a Greek icon painter. In the literary sphere we can also recognise an effort to establish a library in the tradition of his Italian peers. And he even dabbled in the western technological advances in printing, becoming one of the first contemporary authors to have his work printed. This thesis seeks to re-focus a spotlight on Bessarion as an immigrant who was not compelled to leave his native land but who chose to relocate. It is proposed here that the cardinal's cultural projects reflected his efforts to integrate and to succeed in his adopted surroundings.

Full text

Abstract:

In the field of bioethics, the relatively recent phenomenon of cognitive enhancement—the idea that one might improve upon their typical, or "healthy," level of intellect through the use of pharmaceuticals developed to treat medical conditions—has garnered considerable interest from bioethicists and the popular media. The high level of coverage related to this phenomenon has prompted concern that a misrepresentation of the scientific facts related to the safety and efficacy of the drugs involved may encourage public interest, with potentially negative effects on social conformity and loss of diversity.One drug in particular, donepezil, has become known as a "cognitive enhancement agent" based mainly on the findings of one small-scale study. Its genesis from contested Alzheimer's drug to revolutionary "smart-pill" has provoked questions related to the level of evidence driving this reconceptualization. Recent reviews have determined that the findings of the primary study were limited, and additional analysis of a possible link between donepezil and a cognitive enhancement effect have also found the study to be lacking. This thesis characterizes how media and bioethics literature has shaped the discourse of donepezil as a cognitive enhancement agent in the absence of solid scientific evidence. A systematic content analysis was conducted to determine how media and bioethics articles portray donepezil and present the results of the landmark study. We found much hype of the possibility that donepezil could produce cognitive enhancement effects in typical individuals. Additionally, we identified a complex interaction between high expectations for a cognitive enhancement effect and ambiguous conclusions at the level of the primary paper. Together, these factors contribute to the portrayal of donepezil as a cognitive enhancement agent in secondary literature and point to important consequences for individual decision making, clinical care, and policy development. Further, hype of the phenomenon of cognitive enhancement implies that there is general interest in the goal of increasing intelligence and inspires interest in further examining why we are so involved in this end. Propagating the ideology driving those captivated by cognitive enhancement may negatively affect people with intellectual disabilities. To explore the connection between the desire to enhance cognition in typical individuals and a potential negative effect on people with intellectual disabilities, we introduce a distinct example of media hype related to drugs that target intelligence in this population. Failure to question the underlying assumptions that are driving the cognitive enhancement debate amongst individuals with typical intelligence risks further devaluing the lives of people with intellectual disability and subverting current social movements to empower these individuals and build a truly accepting and diverse society.
L'utilisation, par des individus sains, de médicaments pour améliorer leurs fonctions cognitives suscite l'attention autant des bioéthiciens que des médias. L'importante couverture médiatique de ce récent phénomène soulève la préoccupation qu'une fausse représentation des données scientifiques, relativement à la sécurité et à l'efficacité de ces médicaments, pourrait, par conséquent, éveiller l'intérêt du public. Potentiellement, cela pourrait causer des effets négatifs au plan social, par exemple, en encourageant la conformité et donc une perte de la diversité.Un médicament en particulier, le donépézil, s'est vu reconnu comme étant un « produit d'amélioration des fonctions cognitives ». Cette affirmation est basée essentiellement sur les résultats d'une seule étude, marquante dans le débat entourant le donépézil. L'évolution de ce médicament, passant d'un traitement contesté pour la maladie d'Alzheimer à une « pilule d'intelligence » (ou smart-pill), a soulevé des questions relativement aux données probantes justifiant ce nouvel étiquette de « produit d'amélioration des fonctions cognitives ». Par ailleurs, des articles de revue de littérature ont récemment conclu que les résultats de l'étude en question sont limités, et le lien entre le donépézil et l'amélioration des fonctions cognitives n'est pas clair.Le présent mémoire a pour objectif d'examiner comment la couverture médiatique et le débat bioéthique a influencé le discours sur le donépézil en tant que produit d'amélioration des performances cognitives, et cela, malgré l'absence de données probantes. Pour ce faire, nous avons procédé à une analyse systématique du contenu des médias et d'articles spécialisés en bioéthique afin d'examiner comment le donépézil et les résultats de l'étude y sont présentés. Nous avons identifié un enthousiasme débordant concernant la possibilité que le donépézil puisse améliorer les fonctions cognitives d'individus sains ainsi qu'une interaction complexe entre les attentes élevées et des conclusions ambigües au niveau de l'étude principale. Ensemble, ces facteurs ont contribué à la représentation du donépézil en tant qu'agent d'amélioration des fonctions cognitives dans la littérature et laissent supposer des conséquences importantes pour la prise de décision, les soins de santé et le développement de politiques.L'engouement entourant l'effet du donépézil au niveau de l'amélioration des performances cognitives démontre un intérêt général par rapport à la possibilité d'accroître l'intelligence et confirme ainsi la nécessité d'un examen plus approfondi à savoir pourquoi un tel but est recherché. L'augmentation, au sein de la population, du désir d'accroître l'intelligence pourrait avoir comme conséquence de nuire aux personnes atteintes d'une déficience intellectuelle. Afin d'établir le lien entre le phénomène de l'amélioration des fonctions cognitives d'individus sains et l'effet négatif potentiel sur les personnes atteintes d'une déficience intellectuelle, nous présentons dans ce mémoire un exemple d'engouement des médias autour de médicaments qui cible l'intelligence chez cette population. Ne pas s'interroger sur les présomptions sous-jacentes qui motivent le phénomène de l'amélioration des fonctions cognitives chez des individus sains risque de causer plus de tort dans le débat du « traitement » de la déficience intellectuelle et de rendre impuissants les mouvements sociaux qui visent à améliorer l'acceptabilité sociale et à promouvoir la diversité au sein de la société.

Lounsbury, Mary Laird. "Crafting the Mythos-Sphere| Toward the Practical Integration of Intuition and Intellect." Thesis, Pacifica Graduate Institute, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10812368.

Full text

Abstract:

This production dissertation examines the role of the creative process in balancing intellect and intuition in the individual; and the potential of collaborative creativity to support the integration of intuition and intellect on a social level. The mythos-sphere is given as a metaphor to conceptualize the human experience, which extends from the physical, but always includes much more than one knows: inner and outer, conscious and unconscious, physical and imaginal altogether comprise this sphere of influence.

The mythic imagination aids social cohesion when there is sufficient shared experience. This research addresses a disconnect between inner experience and collective experience. This gap might be bridged by a social context that encourages awareness of our immersion in a mythic environment, built upon common ground.

The third is considered as the space between inner-outer and self-other, that allows negotiation without loss of self, and from which creative solutions emerge. A discussion of the third examines Winnicott’s transitional space and Jung’s archetypal theory. The space of the third is “expanded” by admitting the unknown and the ambiguous as real and meaningful, but “collapsed” by reductionist thinking. Participation, or being present and phenomenologically engaged, relaxes the tension wrought by protracted rational focus. Metaphor is proposed as the essential bridge that mediates the “in-between” area of the third.

Giving physical form to images emerging from the unconscious is considered as “applied metaphor.” Connecting inner with outer, known with unknown, and rational with non-rational, the creative process generates meaning for the individual. A collaborative creative process is therefore suggested as a way to develop shared meaning.

Concluding that creative collaboration encourages communication and group cohesion, a method is proposed. The production presents the application of this method via a three-day collaborative art-and-story making event, documented as an interactive digital magazine.

Keywords: expressive arts, collaboration, creativity, metaphor, participation, narrative, myth, imaginal, archetypal.

Abstract:

Aim: This thesis sets out to cover the matter of leadership as it is informed by science, art, and philosophy. The research involved entails a corresponding consideration of the sensibility and intelligibility, morality and ethics of leadership along with accounts of their relationship to the notion of the mature human intellect as well as to that of the idea of a university. Scope: The work proposes that the transcendental intellect is the ground for notions and principles of leadership. Opting for a schema of the universe of the intellect over a Kantian model of the faculties of the intellect, the notion of leadership can be clearly seen to belong not in the general intellect of science, made up of understanding and reason, but in a transcendental intellect comprised of comprehension and judgement. A science of leadership is a contested idea because it does not and cannot take into account values and ends, regardless of whether or not those values are based on formal universal principles or on particular substantive judgments. The human understanding is the only intellectual grounds for a science of leadership and a critique of those grounds could be reinforced by a similar treatment of human reason being the grounds for the art of leadership.

Tableau d’honneur de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales, 2012-2013.
Ce mémoire de maîtrise se divise en deux parties : la première est constituée d'une traduction du traité De rhetorica, un traité du IVe siècle ap. J.-C. attribué au Pseudo-Augustin, et la seconde propose une étude de certaines notions présentées dans ce traité. L'étude a deux objectifs, le premier est de faire la lumière sur la question très débattue de l'authenticité ; le second est d'approfondir certaines notions et de faire le lien avec la pensée d'Augustin contenue dans son De doctrina christiana. L'analyse des notions centrales au De rhetorica, c'est-à-dire les quaestiones ciuiles, les états de cause, la controuersia et finalement Yintellectio, vise à montrer comment la rhétorique du IVe siècle, fortement influencée par le milieu intellectuel et culturel, particulièrement philosophique, a transformé la façon de concevoir la parole. Augustin, lui-même très influencé par ce courant philosophique, a également inclus ces notions dans son De doctrina christiana.

La dialectique entre l'intellect et la volonté que l'on peut initier à partir du débat entre Aristote et Zénon d’Elee décide d'effets de sens et de vues qui font époque. Sur ce fond aristotelicien, nous lisons transversalement cette dialectique au cours de trois débats : 1) le débat entre Thomas d’Aquin, Duns Scot et Guillaume d'Ockham inverse la primauté de l'intellect pour celle de la volonté et affecte l'image de dieu. Luther figure ce qui arrive. 2) le débat entre Descartes, Kant et Hegel finit par écraser l'un dans l'autre l'intellect et la volonté et signe la mort philosophique de dieu. Il suscite une démaîtrise. Nietzsche figure ce qui se fragmente. 3) le débat entre Heidegger et Lacan décentre l'intellect et la volonté et pose un espace du sacre ou figures et D/dieu/x peuvent ou ne peuvent pas venir. Le sens se donne finalement entre l'originaire et l'ailleurs. Vues et figures ont encore un avenir
The dialectic between intellect and will that one can begin from the debate between Aristotle and Zeno of Elee decides on epoch-making effects of sense and views. On this aristotelian background, we read this dialectic crosswise in the course of three debates : 1) the debate between Thomas d'Aquin, Duns Scot and William of Ockham reverses the primacy of intellect for the one of will and affects god's image. Luther figures what happens. 2) the debate between Descartes, Kant and Hegel ends by crushing intellect and will the one into the other and signs the philosophical death of god. It arouses a discommand. Nietzsche figures what fragments itself. 3) the debate between Heidegger and Lacan decentres intellect and will and states a space of the sacred where figures and G/god/s can or can not come. Finally sense gives itself between original and somewhere else. Views and figures have still a future

There is little Australian research on children's breakfast habits or its relationship with academic performance and vigilance. Hence there is a need for research on this issue in the Australian context. The study involved 72 children of 5th, 6th and 7th grades from two schools in Western Australia. Data were obtained in three ways (a) the children completed a questionnaire which explored their breakfast habits, (b) the class teachers recorded the classroom performance/grades based on their classroom evaluations, and behaviour of the children based on the observations, and (c) the children were then given three vigilance tasks approximately one and a half hours into the school day. The children were divided into breakfast and no-breakfast groups based on the self-report of breakfast consumption on that day. The study found that more than half of the children at least sometimes skip their breakfast, with no differences attributed to gender. A number of children reported eating breakfast on the way to school but the proportion of those having a nutritious breakfast on the way to school was almost negligible. Even those having breakfast regularly (55%) might not be consuming a nutritious breakfast. Children reported feeling sleepy, inactive and forgetful as a consequence of skipping breakfast on the day. Reasons offered for skipping mainly had to do with personal choice and convenience, rather than with dieting and concern about body shape. There was no relationship found between breakfast skipping and academic performance and vigilance. Evidence that breakfast skipping affects concentration span of children was found for year 6 and 7 students in the study. Potential strategies based on the findings of this study are discussed. Providing a nutritious breakfast for children or supplementing their daily diets with fruit are interventions which have the potential to make a significant impact on children's health and well-being. In order to have a nutritious breakfast, children should be encouraged to have breakfast at home before leaving for school as they usually tend to eat a less nutritious breakfast on the way to school or at school. Organizing a breakfast day at school will also promote the importance of having breakfast. Further emphasis on nutrition and healthy eating in schools could make a difference.

Abstract:

Over the past two decades, American poet Jorie Graham has composed six books of poems. Graham struggles to understand how we make sense of the world through thinking grounded in the logical operations of reason and through thinking that operates as more of a detached wandering that enables direct experiential participation in the present moment-modes of thought occasionally differentiated as "intellect" and "intuition." Throughout her work, Graham repeatedly experiments with ways to "frustrate" the intellect in order for intuition to wander over an idea while at the same time she relies on the intellect to rescue the mind from directionless wandering. In her early poetry Graham explores ways of defining and describing what it feels like to think. Later, she enacts thinking within the lines of her poems, sometimes allegorizing the operation of the intellect and intuition and sometimes provoking readers into an experience of one particular way of thinking through the act of reading. This study examines Graham's various successes and failures as she struggles to discover "blossoming" moments of balance between the controlling intellect and the wandering intuition. Beginning with the origins of this line of thinking in Graham's early work, this study traces the poet's path of development through each book of poems in order to demonstrate the back and forth momentum shifts of intellect giving way to intuition and intuition being organized by rational thought. Through her epistemological errancies, her wanderings within and without ways of knowing, Graham discovers "blossoming" moments of wholeness where both modes of thought meet "in solution, unsolved."

Abstract:

Humans have long sought to use technology to augment human abilities and intellect. However, technology is traditionally employed only to create speedier solutions or more-rapid comprehension. A more challenging endeavor is to enable humans with technology to gain additional or enhanced comprehension that may not be possible to acquire otherwise. One such application is the use of technology to augment human abilities in detecting deception using nonverbal cues. Detecting deception is often critical, whether an individual is communicating with a close friend, negotiating a business deal, or screening individuals at a security checkpoint.The detection of deception is a challenging endeavor. A variety of studies have shown that humans have a hard time accurately discriminating deception from truth, and only do so slightly better than chance. Several deception detection methods exist; however, most of these are invasive and require a controlled environment.This dissertation presents a technological approach to detecting deception based on kinesic (i.e., movement-based) and vocalic (i.e., sounds associated with the voice) cues that is firmly grounded in deception theory and past empirical studies. This noninvasive approach overcomes some of the weaknesses of other deception detection methods as it can be used in a natural environment without cooperation from the individual of interest.The automatable approach demonstrates potential for increasing humans' ability to correctly identify those who display behaviors indicative of deception. The approach was evaluated using experimental and field data. The results of repeated measures analysis of variance, linear regression and discriminant function analysis suggest that the use of such a system could augment human abilities in detecting deception by as much as 15-25%. While there are a number of technical challenges that need to be addressed before such a system could be deployed in the field, there are numerous environments where it would be potentially useful.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis traces how, in the decades following the Second World War, dissatisfaction with prevailing ethical philosophies led several novelists to turn towards mystical concepts in order to recover an understanding of goodness as a property that exists separately from individual acts of will and rational reasoning. In Iris Murdoch’s 1970 essay ‘Existentialists and Mystics’ she argued that the major writers of the early twentieth century – Camus, Sartre, Lawrence, Hemingway, Amis – subscribed to a philosophical system that considered human agency and will to be the sole source of morality. She suggested that, by the mid-1950s, this dominant belief was challenged by the novels of writers – she names, among others, William Golding, Patrick White and Saul Bellow – who were possessed by ‘genuine intuitions of an authoritative good,’ and who suffered from ‘the uneasy suspicion that after all man is not God.’ Each of these novelists believes in the existence of a transcendent God or Good, which cannot be approached through rational means; instead, goodness is encountered by attempting to move beyond selfhood through acts of attention that suppress intellectual or egoistic forms of thought. This thesis analyses this mystical-ethical concept within the novels of Murdoch, Golding, Bellow and White. The central concern is how this moral philosophy affects the novel form: how a writer attempts to approach an ineffable reality through language, and how this endeavour contributes to the moral dimension of literature.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to analyse how the Hebrew word heart, לב, is used in the Old Testament: as an expression of the intellect, emotions, actions – all of those or only the intellect. The study also aims to see if the author, or groups of authors of the different texts where לב appears affect the use of the word. I work inductively with a lexical invention of the texts and I do an analysis on some different text to see if there are any differences.

Abstract:

The paper investigates Gyula Klima’s reconstruction of Aquinas argument for the immateriality of the intellect by the concept of human thought and its success to avoid the Content Fallacy. This fallacy, which is coined by Robert Pasnau, describes an illicit inference from a description of the nature of a thought, to what a thought represents, its content. The focus will be on a debate between Klima and Pasnau in Proceedings of the Society for Medieval Logic and Metaphysics, but also on Adam Wood’s critique of Klima. The paper concludes that if Klima is interpreted correctly, the argument is valid and Klima’s reconstruction of Aquinas argument does not fall victim to the Content Fallacy.

Abstract:

Past research has revealed that both people’s beliefs and situational factors affected people’s goal orientation. This study investigated the interactive effects of competition and theories of intelligence on people’s goal orientation. A 2x2 between-subject factorial design was adopted. Seventh graders (N = 132) were primed with either incremental or entity theory of memory. The students were randomly assigned to either competitive or non-competitive condition. Motivational outcomes were measured after all the four groups received failure feedback. Findings showed that the effect of competition marginally overrode the effect of theories of intelligence in the entity condition. There were no statistical significant changes in self-efficacy and interest on the task before and after the setback in the groups.

Full text

Abstract:

La présente étude s’emploie à reconstruire et à analyser la conception eckhartienne de l’auto-intellection de Dieu, afin de mettre en évidence les divers enjeux de cette question, et par suite de mesurer l’importance exacte qu’elle revêt dans l'œuvre et la pensée du Maître rhénan – surtout quant à son effort spéculatif pour accuser la réalité métaphysique de l’Intellect divin et rendre compte de son opérativité. L’ensemble de cette recherche se fonde sur un extrait du Sermon allemand 80, qui expose avec force et concision la richesse de l’intellectualité de Dieu à travers l’étendue de son acte d’auto-intellection, et propose ainsi une vue synoptique d’un traitement systématique de la question. Dans cette perspective, il s’agit en outre de montrer la cohérence systématique de la métaphysique eckhartienne du flux – caractéristique de l’école albertinienne –, qui correspond à une logique de l’actualité et de la productivité de l’Intellect divin, en établissant alors le lien causal et progressif entre : 1. la définition de Dieu comme intellectus per essentiam (un leitmotiv de la pensée spéculative d’Eckhart), 2. l’acte pur d’auto-intellection qui traduit son intelligere, 3. la procession des Personnes in divinis comme déploiement formel de cet acte (bullitio), et 4. l’émanation des créatures comme mouvement proversif de l’Intellect divin s’intelligeant lui-même, et exerçant de la sorte sa causalité créatrice (ebullitio). Cette étude permet dès lors de dégager une triple considération de l’acte d’auto-intellection de Dieu comme Pensée substantielle et subsistante, comme Pensée trinitaire et bouillonnante, et enfin comme Pensée créatrice et débordante
The present study is devoted to the reconstruction and the analysis of the Eckhartian conception of God’s self-knowledge, so as to emphasize the diverse stakes of this question, and to measure the exact importance which it hold in the work and the thought of Rhenish Master – especially concerning his speculative effort to describe the metaphysical reality of the divine Intellect and to report its operativity. The whole of this research bases on an extract of the German Sermon 80, which explains with strength and conciseness the wealth of God’s intellectuality trough the area of his act of self-knowledge, and so propose a synoptic view of a systematic treatment about this topic. Furthermore, the question is whether to show the systematic coherence of the Eckhartian metaphysics of flow – characteristic of the Albertian school –, which corresponds to one logic of the actuality and the productivity of the divine Intellect, establishing then the causal and progressive link between: 1. The definition of God as intellectus per essentiam (a leitmotiv of Eckhart’s speculative thought, 2. The pure act of self-knowledge, which translates God’s intelligere, 3. The procession of the Persons in divinis as formal deployment of this act (bullitio), and 4. The emanation of creatures as exteriorized movement of the divine Intellect knowing itself, and so exercising its creative causality (ebullitio). This study allows consequently to draw a triple consideration of the act of God's self-knowledge as substantial and subsisting Thought, as Trinitarian and boiling, and finally as creative and overboiling

Full text

Abstract:

My doctoral thesis addresses the spiritual and intellectual activity of women during the scholastic period. I have focused on Herrad of Hohenbourg (d. after 1196) and on the Hortus deliciarum, the encyclopaedia manuscript that was produced at the Alsatian monastery of which she was abbess. This volume was designed as a didactic work for use within a small community of Augustinian nuns. Although similar in concept to contemporary sentence collections, the Hortus is singular in that it was intended for the edification of women, rather than men. The existence of this text belies the traditional belief that women remained uneducated for much of the medieval period. My study of Herrad has forced a re-examination of women's intellectual achievements during the medieval period. Of the three major female religious writers of the twelfth century - Hildegard of Bingen (d. 1179), Elisabeth of Schönau (d. 1164) and Herrad - only the first two have been subjects of recent scholarship. The writings of these two women grew out of a particular form of spirituality: they are deeply personal and visionary. Their works stand in sharp contrast to that of Herrad. Hildegard and Elisabeth experienced God personally and recorded their experiences, while Herrad approached theology as an academic subject. She aligned herself with the intellectual environment of the emerging universities. In her spirituality as in her writing, Herrad differed from her contemporaries. She exhibited none of the affective traits that have come to be associated with medieval women. Unlike Hildegard and Elisabeth, who experienced the divine through frailty and ill-health, Herrad refused to view herself as the weaker vessel, claiming authority, like men, on the basis of her extensive learning. Herrad's significance in the debate over medieval women's religious and intellectual experiences is two-fold. In the first place, she presents a corrective to the traditional view which has held the interest and participation of women in scholarly endeavours to be a development of the modern period. The Hortus, as it was a text which was written by a woman for the education of women, stands as a monument to the role of women in intellectual discourse as early as the twelfth century. In the second place, Herrad stands as a check to the current enthusiasm for the model of 'female' spirituality which was presented in biographies of women which were written by medieval men.
