Book excerpt: Personal Being: Polanyi, Ontology, and Christian Theology contributes to Michael Polanyi studies, to the conversation between philosophy and theology, and to the contemporary renaissance in trinitarian theology. The author begins by elaborating the ontology implied by Polanyi's theory of personal knowledge and argues that personhood is a fundamental category for understanding reality. He then explores the reception of Polanyi's philosophy in theological studies and outlines a method responsive to interdisciplinary dialogue. Finally, he employs a Polanyian model of personhood to examine the doctrine of the Trinity and suggests that this effort anticipates the development of a personalistic Christian cosmology.

Download or read book On Being a Department Head a Personal View written by John B. Conway and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `For years, higher education prospered. It loudly proclaimed that college graduates command far greater lifetime incomes. Ample funding followed. We produced. But that argument has begun to sour. A college degree has long since stopped being a guarantee of prosperity or even job security. Society has begun to question its support for universities. In this environment, mathematicians and all academics must begin to change, compete, and seek resources that will be used with greater care. It is the only solution if we hope to maintain the integrity of the enterprise.... I want to offer advice to department heads out there. I want to try to educate the rank and file about a variety of aspects of the job of being a department head. I also want to tell you my opinion about this job and perhaps also a little about love, death, and the vagaries of the human condition.' --- from the Preface This unique book presents a witty, well-written personal view about the experience of being a department head. Those in academia will profit from the author's inside view, and other department heads and chairs -- new and old -- will benefit from the experiences of this keenly observant colleague.

Download or read book On Being Me written by J. David Velleman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A moral philosopher’s meditations on some of life’s most important questions We’ve all had to puzzle over such profound matters as birth, death, regret, free will, agency, and love. How might philosophy help us think through these vital concerns? In On Being Me, renowned moral philosopher J. David Velleman presents a concise, accessible, and intimate exploration into subjects that we care deeply about, offering compelling insights into what it means to be human. Each of Velleman’s short, personal chapters begins with a theme: “Being Glad I Was Born,” “Wanting to Go On,” “Fearing the End,” “Regretting What Might Have Been,” “Aspiring to Authorship,” “Making Things Happen,” and “Wanting to Be Loved.” Reflecting on how daily life presents us with thorny riddles that need working out, Velleman arrives at unexpected conclusions about survival and personal identity, the self and its future, time and morality, the rationality of regret, free will and personal efficacy, and goodness and love. He shows that we can rely on our own powers of thought to arrive at a better understanding of the most fundamental parts of ourselves—and that the methods of philosophy can help get us there. Beautifully illustrated by New Yorker contributing artist Emily Bernstein, On Being Me invites us to approach life philosophically.
