Download or read book Toward a New Sensibility written by O. K. Bouwsma and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1982-01-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O. K. Bouwsma, one of America's foremost Wittgensteinians, was also an extraordinarily dedicated and effective teacher. The present collection, assembled posthumously from his papers, includes twelve essays, all but one previously unpublishedøand all characterized by the humor, common sense, and wisdom that marked his classroom lectures. Ranging in subject matter from topics in Wittgenstein to Descartes to aesthetics, the pieces all show the influence of Wittgenstein. Some of the questions they raise deal with the traditional and historical background of twentieth-century philosophy?"Am I dreaming?" "Is what I see real?" "Are there material objects?"?while others relate to considerations peculiar to thinkers today, for example, "What is Wittgenstein doing in his writing?" "What does philosophy have to do with language?" Bouwsma wants first to understand the philosophical questions?to unknit the knit eyebrows it produces. Accordingly, his major concern is how we as thinkers, readers, writers, and speakers, separate what we understand from what we do not understand: hence his consideration, in the opening essay, of "a new sensibility in the matter of our language." Always approaching the subject as a practical problem rather than as an abstract, theoretical issue, these essays demonstrate, with patience and wit, ways to achieve clarity on puzzles long thought intractable.
Download or read book Volume 11 Tome III Kierkegaard s Influence on Philosophy written by Jon Stewart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kierkegaard's relation to the field of philosophy is a particularly complex and disputed one. He rejected the model of philosophical inquiry that was mainstream in his day and was careful to have his pseudonymous authors repeatedly disassociate themselves from philosophy. But although it seems clear that Kierkegaard never regarded himself as a philosopher, there can be no doubt that his writings contain philosophical ideas and insights and have been profoundly influential in a number of different philosophical traditions.The present volume attempts to document these different traditions of the philosophical reception of Kierkegaard's thought. Tome III traces Kierkegaard's influence on Anglophone philosophy. It has long been thought that Kierkegaard played no role in this tradition, which for years was dominated by analytic philosophy. In this environment it was common to dismiss Kierkegaard along with the then current European philosophers who were influenced by him. However, a closer look reveals that in fact there were several thinkers in the US, Canada and Great Britain who were inspired by Kierkegaard even during the heyday of analytic philosophy. Today it can be said that Kierkegaard has made some serious inroads into mainstream Anglophone philosophy, with many authors seeking inspiration in his works for current discussions concerning ethics, personal identity, philosophy of religion, and philosophical anthropology.

Download or read book Who Needs a Liberal Arts College written by Alburey Castell and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alburey Castell forged the concepts agency, activity, and process to stake out the claims of person-hood. Carrying such concepts as tools into the field of education, Castell drove a wedge between the humanities and the sciences. As The College of Wooster continues to celebrate national recognition for its role as an outstanding liberal arts institution, it is fitting that this edition of Alburey Castell's works has been published to remind us of one of the many fine educators who had a hand in building an institution devoted to the process of lifelong learning. President Howard Lowry, who served the college from 1944 until his death in 1967, outlined his vision for Wooster in the 1945 publication Adventure in Education. Lowry mapped out a curriculum plan that would allow students to embrace science, social sciences, as well as the humanities. Lowry also held firm to the belief that students should be introduced to religion and philosophy. He wanted students to receive a substantial grounding in ethics that would prepare them for life beyond the classroom. undergraduates for a lifetime's intellectual adventure, one that will help them meet new situations as they arise, one that will allow them to develop harmoniously and independently (College of Wooster Bulletin Dec. 1, 1945, p. 12). Having faculty who were firmly committed to this vision of liberal arts education was the key to Lowry's success. By the time Lowry sought out Alburey Castell in 1964 to fill the position of Compton Professor of Philosophy the plan outlined in Adventure in Education was well underway. The Independent Study Program had been established in 1948, liberal studies courses were being taught, and faculty were encouraged to take research and study leaves so as to embark on their own adventure (p. 30).

Download or read book The Potential Role of Art in Kierkegaard s Description of the Individual written by Scott Koterbay and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kierkegaard scholarship has generally focused on either existential or religious issues, interpreting Kierkegaard's understanding of the individual's relationship to itself and to the Christian God. As a result of his description of the stages of development of the individual in the process of that relationship, such scholarship has consistently ignored the inherent potential to articulate an aesthetic system which would describe art as a means of facilitating the development in a positive direction. This book offers the first thorough description of a Kierkegaardian aesthetic which does not demote art to a merely sensuous and negative influence; it is an explication of the specific feature of Kierkegaard's description of the individual (such as communication, repetition, and the self) within the context of a positive notion of art, as well as an analysis of art itself, the artist, and the fundamental value of art as a profitable means of influencing the individuals. While this book is unique for placing art into a central role within Kierkegaard scholarship, it also remains critical of such a role, maintaining the importance of recognizing the limitations which art has.

Book excerpt: O. K. Bouwsma taught philosophy for over fifty years in the middle part of this century. The author presents through Bouwsma's published essays and his notebooks a philosophical understanding of this unique teacher of philosophy. Bouwsma, though not a famous philosopher, was, in the author's opinion, one of the most impressive philosophers of this century. His impressiveness did not come from awards and distinctions. It came from the philosophy which he did with his philosophical friends in discussions and in related notebooks. Among his friends were Wittgenstein, Moore, Malcolm, Lazerowitz, Ambrose, Anscombe, and scores of other graduate students. It was through his philosophizing with these friends, in his unique manner, that he became impressive and left his mark. Contents: O. K. Bouwsma: A Personal Recollection; Bouwsma's Paradox; Bouwsma's Twin Arts; Bouwsma and Moore: The Use of Analogy in Method; Without Proof or Evidence: Bouwsma and Kierkegaard; Bouwsma The Reader: A Philosophy of Education.

Book excerpt: "Remarkable how well Bouwsma understood Wittgenstein's approach to philosophical problems and how intelligently he was able to recount Wittgenstein's discussions. The bits about sensation are especially good. And the asides about the other philosophers--e.g. Dewey, Russell, Anscombe--are, while not frivolous, gossipy and titillating." --Riley Wallihan, Western Oregon University
Download or read book Without Proof Or Evidence written by O. K. Bouwsma and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Without Proof or Evidence O. K. Bouwsma weaves through the central topics of Western religion: the rationality of religious belief, the nature of Christianity, the promise of eternal life, the definition of faith, and proofs of the existence of God. When he works with the problems of Descartes or Moore or Wittgenstein, surveying the marketplace of language in which we all have commerce, he has the familiarity of an experienced trader. But in his work with the problems of Anselm or Nietzsche or Kierkegaard, in which the Scriptures move between background and foreground, there is another dimension, a concern with whether the Scriptures have been properly understood, what such an understanding might be, and how it affects someone who so understands them.
