Sousa, Ronald de. 2. Perspectives. Oxford University Press, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/actrade/9780199663842.003.0002.
Full textAbstract:
‘Perspectives’ considers Plato’s Symposium—where the members of the party take turns making a speech in praise of love—and what we can learn from it. The dialogue is still fresh today and features several perspectives, some of which anticipate ways that modern thinkers have challenged the monopoly of poetry and literature on love. A reason for elevating some loves over others appeals to certain conceptions of the place of love and sex in human nature. Such conceptions have clustered around three basic models: the puritan, Lawrentian, and pansexual models. The form of love designated as ‘what N

Since the late eighteenth century, writers and thinkers have used the idea of love—often unrequited or impossible love—to comment on the changing cultural, social, and political position of Jews in the German-speaking countries. This book asks what it means for literature (and philosophy) to use love between individuals as a metaphor for group relations. This question is of renewed interest today, when theorists of multiculturalism turn toward love in their search for new models of particularity and universality. The book is structured around two transformative moments in German Jewish culture

Our current geopolitical moment is characterized by shockingly aggressive forms of xenophobia and racism. This alarming, though not new, predicament compels us to seek creative modes for resisting hatred and encouraging care across difference. Love Dances: Loss and Mourning in Intercultural Collaboration explores the possibilities for global interrelationality in the realm of dance. The book contends that performances of interculturalism in dance offer opportunities for practicing intersubjective connection. Body-to-body engagement in the studio and on the stage carries the potential to shape

This chapter shows how three heroic paradigms (Helen, Achilles, and the couple Peleus and Thetis) function in wedding and love poetry. The flexibility of their myths allows for both positive and negative presentations in different contexts. Helen, as the most beautiful woman, serves as a model for both brides and mistresses. Her ability to arouse desire and her willingness to follow her longings make her a complicated ideal. Achilles is equally complex as an archetypal young warrior, albeit one without a stable union who often brings death to his paramours. Peleus and Thetis, the parents of Ac

Love lies at the heart of the religious life, as a principle mode of relationship between the human and the transcendent, as a guiding motivation for the moral life, and, for many, as a defining attribute of the transcendent. Among all the emotions, love is the most transformative. Yet the transformative power of love can be highly disruptive, contravening the careful conceptual apparatus of religion, undermining institutional religious authority, and upsetting social expectations and hierarchies. And if the power of the emotion of love is not harnessed for self-transformation, then rather tha

What does it mean to understand the world religiously? How is such understanding to be distinguished from scientific understanding? And what does it have to do with religious practice, transfiguring love, and spiritual well-being? These are just some of the fascinating questions to be explored in this volume by a selection of the most distinguished and accessible writers in the field. The radical suggestion is that we require a new model of religious understanding—one that poses a challenge to the narrowly theoretical approach which has predominated in recent debate by giving due weight to its

In his famous courtroom definition of ‘the love that dare not speak its name’, Wilde pays tribute to Plato and ‘that deep, spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect’. But how does Wilde translate Platonic love into his works, especially The Picture of Dorian Gray, where erotic purity and perfection seem hard to find? Plato is a crucial influence, but this chapter suggests we should also turn to Roman sexual models, for two pivotal texts that Dorian reads are Petronius’ Satyricon and Suetonius’ Lives of the Caesars. What emerges is an idea of love and sex that destabilizes the catego

Uncovering Indigenous Models of Leadership focuses on Native and Indigenous leadership as an expression of a lived experience––as seen, felt, and heard––from the perspectives provided by Native Pacific Islanders, Polynesians, and, more specifically, Samoans from the Talavou clan.

Full textAbstract:
E. J. Lowe proposed a model of mental causation on which mental events are emergent, thus exerting a novel, downward causal influence on physical events. Yet on Lowe’s model, mental causation is at the same time empirically undetectable, and in this sense is ‘invisible’. Lowe’s model is ingenious, but I don’t think emergentists should welcome it, for it seems to me that a primary virtue of emergentism is its bold empirical prediction about the long-term results of human physiology. Here I’ll try to restore emergentism’s empirical status, but my broader aim is to use Lowe’s model to explore som

This book destabilises the customary disciplinary and epistemological oppositions between medieval studies and modern medievalism. It argues that the twinned concepts of “the medieval” and post-medieval “medievalism” are mutually though unevenly constitutive, not just in the contemporary era, but from the medieval period on. Medieval and medievalist culture share similar concerns about the nature of temporality, and the means by which we approach or “touch” the past, whether through textual or material culture, or the conceptual frames through which we approach those artefacts.

Full textAbstract:
E. J. Lowe’s model of psychophysical causation offers a way of reconciling interactive substance dualism with the causal completeness principle by denying the homogeneity of the causal relata—more specifically, by invoking a distinction between ‘fact causation’ and ‘event causation’. According to Lowe, purely physical causation is event causation, whereas psychophysical causation involves fact causation, allowing the dualist to accept a version of causal completeness which holds that all physical events have only physical causes. But Lowe’s dualist model is only as plausible as the distinction

Temporal lobe epilepsy, as discussed in this chapter, is a focal epilepsy that involves primarily the limbic structures of the medial temporal lobe (amygdala, hippocampus, and entorhinal cortex). In recent years animal models have been developed that mirror the pathology and pathophysiology of this disease. This chapter reviews the human condition, the structural and physiological changes that support the development of seizures. The neural circuitry of seizure initiation will be reviewed with a goal of creating a framework for developing more effective treatments for this disease.

In ‘A New Modal Version of the Ontological Argument,’ E. J. Lowe has presented a version of the ontological argument that does not, like other versions of the modal argument, make use of a ‘possibility’ premise. (e.g. ‘It is possible for a perfect being to exist’.) Three of the premises of this carefully formulated argument are: some necessary abstract beings exist; all abstract beings are dependent beings; all dependent beings depend for their existence on independent beings. This chapter is an examination of the ‘interplay’ between these three premises and a defense of the author’s convictio

Focusing on Spenser’s Shepheardes Calender, this chapter newly shows that one of the texts most marginal in previous readings, Plato’s Phaedrus, is one of the Calender’s foundational references. There Plato defines and coordinates love, beauty, the soul, its prospects, and the modes of revelatory furor, including the lover’s and the poet’s. Whereas the Calender’s Platonic affinities have typically seemed too vague to merit investigation, attention to the poem’s flight motif, to the precedents for its pictures in early modern iconography and emblem books, and especially to the quasi-emblematic

It introduces an innovative framework of values and personhood to strengthen and integrate three main areas of study: narrative identity, the good life, and personal growth. The result is a unique model of humane growth and human flourishing. Each chapter builds on that framework

Leaders of all kinds, in all fields, need to be methodical and logical, but also strategic, innovative, and intuitive.

Those who operate in what she explains as the left brain mode develop strong logical, rational, and analytical abilities, but they may downplay the value of right brain thinking, which spurs intuition, subjectivity, and creativity. And those who operate primarily in the latter mode lose the value of the former. A leade

This chapter foregrounds aspects of Plato’s thinking about virtue that may be useful for contemporary virtue ethicists. First, Plato presents Socrates’ self-knowledge as a kind of ‘moral epistemic humility,’ and this notion may be important for theories that set a high bar for moral knowledge. Second, Plato provides various models—with wisdom at the forefront—for configuring the relationship amongst the virtues. Third, Plato’s view that virtue is sufficient for happiness, though external goods contribute to one’s level of happiness, represents an underexplored option in contemporary work. Four

Emotions ought to be understood as an epistemically indispensable mode of experience, because they involve our living bodies in the recognition of what is meaningful within our world of concern. How it is that we have a “world of concern” in the first place, in which things are felt to be significant? Dispositional affective states serve as grounding conditions for the episodes of emotion that arise in particular contexts. Once we care about something, we are liable to have a variety of discrete emotions about it: and it is only if we have some degree of concern for something that we are liabl

The hippocampus is thought to be a good experimental model for investigating epileptogenesis in and/or antiepileptic therapy for temporal lobe epilepsy. The hippocampus is also a useful target for researching the ketogenic diet. This chapter focuses on electrophysiological recordings using hippocampal slices and introduces their use for studying the anticonvulsant effects underlying ketogenic diets. The major difficulty in using hippocampal slices is the inability to precisely reproduce the in vivo condition of ketogenic diet feeding in this in vitro preparation. Three different approaches are

I dream of a world in which every child can be taught about relationships and sexuality in the caring, honest, dignified, non-judgmental, and truly child-centered manner this book models for parents and teachers. The authors' approach is patient and generous, and their message, while it may still seem revolutionary in countries such as the United States, is sensible, practical, and proven: young people of all ages have the right to comprehensive knowledge about bodies, friendship, and love. When this right is respected, children are empowered to make lifelong good choices allowing them to enjo

Full textAbstract:
An informative but light-hearted look at the popularity of the Renaissance today, this book was written by a Renaissance scholar intrigued with the way his subject continues to resonate outside the scholarly community. His purpose is to uncover and describe the many manifestations of America's love of the Renaissance. Why do millions don costumes to attend Renaissance Faires? Why do novels and films about the period enjoy continued popularity, as do Renaissance icons such as Elizabeth I, Michelangelo, Shakespeare and the Mona Lisa? How is it that American politicians and business leaders still

Full textAbstract:
Collaboration is increasingly popular across academia. Collaborative work raises certain ethical questions, however. How will the fruits of collaboration be divided? How will academics divide collaborative labor? This chapter considers the following question in particular. Are there ways in which these divisions systematically disadvantage certain groups? The chapter uses evolutionary game theoretic models to address this question. First, it discusses results from O'Connor and Bruner (2015) showing that underrepresented groups in academia can be disadvantaged in collaboration and bargaining by

Williams examines the efforts of public agencies to better incorporate citizen participation in the administrative process. He focuses on the effort of the Department of Energy to use citizen advisory boards composed of stakeholders—persons who stand to gain or lose from policy implementation—in its economic transition, waste management, and environmental restoration programs. The Department's efforts to deal with hazardous and toxic wastes stemming from uranium fuel for the U.S. nuclear weapons program are examined in detail. The case study shows that the stakeholder model was effective: the

Islam, Education and Freedom explores six key areas of freedom, identity, pedagogy, diversity, conflict, trust and love, showing their import in Islam. Based on a qualitative case study of a progressive Islamic school in Southern California, North Star Academy, the book illustrates through the voices of the participants how each particular freedom was applied in the school. The authors show how the six freedoms were understood, taught, and practiced with the clear aim to develop proud American Muslims. It explores the ways the school leaders facilitate and impart each freedom and the influence

The Gold Coast is a well-known and loved destination for local and international tourists, a city of surf and sun, pleasure and leisure. However, it is also one of the fastest growing cities in Australia, occupying the largest urban footprint outside the state capitals. How did the Gold Coast come to be what it is today?
 Off the Plan is the first in-depth, multidisciplinary academic study on the urbanisation and development of the Gold Coast. It addresses the historical circumstances, both accidental and intentional, that led to the Gold Coast’s infamous transition from a collection of s

This chapter examines political participation as a unique capacity possessed by humans that “fundamentally shapes a human being.” It argues that without political participation, we would lose much of our identity as “political actors” who seek to influence and change the world they live in. The chapter first explains what political participation is and why some people participate in collective political action while others do not. It then considers a range of individual factors that motivate political participation, such as ideology, identity, emotion, and instrumentality, and the role of soci

In this chapter we assess the buffer and flow dimension of the social investment state for early school leavers and lone parents in the Netherlands. By applying an ‘at-risk household-type model’, we show that the buffer function of the welfare state for the two risk groups out of work has declined in the last decade, particularly for early school leavers. On the other hand, the buffer function, in terms of minimum income protection, for those risk groups that have acquired paid employment has significantly improved. In terms of labour-market flow, we show that capacitation of risk groups is an
