Abstract:

The form of the Emerson has often been dismissed as too complex to characterize, yet it can easily be understood as an unconventional sonata-allegro form on seven themes, interrupted by eight developmental episodes. As the piece originated in an “Emerson Concerto,” the Beethoven’s Fifth motive (G-G-G-Eb) and “Emerson” theme act as ritornellos, framing devices for the originally conceived piano solos. The fact that opening material is recapitulated a helf-step higher leaves the movement open-ended, as a question the other movements will attempt to answer.

Abstract:

This essay explains Kant’s general duty of beneficence and addresses the objections that as interpreted here the principle is too anemic (Cummiskey), that it requires us devalue our own happiness (Slote), and that it fails to acknowledge that some acts are good to do but not required (Urmson). The general duty leaves a wide area of free choice, but other moral considerations may affect the application of Kant’s principles to particular cases of philanthropic giving: justice, respect, the kind of help needed, and the motives of the giver.

Abstract:

What kind of world should current generations bequeath to those who come after them? One appealing principle holds that those alive at any one time should leave future people with a standard of living that is at least as good as the one that they claim for themselves. Versions of this principle have been put forward by economists, philosophers, and legal scholars. However, while the principle is an attractive one, its meaning is also elusive. This chapter therefore explores how best to spell out the underlying principle. It then seeks to motivate support for this principle and to outline its implications for development, global inequalities, and addressing climate change.

Abstract:

The bulk of this chapter addresses the question: what is the proper semantics for deontic modal expressions in English? We consider a representative sample of recent challenges to a Kratzer-style formal semantics for modal expressions, as well as the rival views—Fabrizio Cariani’s contrastivism, John MacFarlane’s relativism, and Mark Schroeder’s ambiguity theory—those challenges are thought to motivate. We argue that the challenges can be met and that the rival views face challenges of their own. Our overall conclusion is that a Kratzer-style semantics remains the one to beat. With this assumption in place, we turn to the question: what is the connection between true deontic modal statements and normative reasons? We argue that acceptance of Kratzer’s semantics for deontic modals can, in many cases, leave open for substantive normative theorizing the question of whether an agent has a normative reason to comply with what she ought to do.

Abstract:

Movement, immigration, and pilgrimage have long been keynotes of American experience. Following the opening chapter’s attention on the spiritual inscape of home dwellings, this chapter concerns itself with the spirituality of motion, re-placement, and pilgrimage as reflected in American works of literary imagination. Lead characters in this story include travelers, explorers, and would-be pilgrims as well as resettlers—that is, those who leave their place of birth to adopt another as their own. The religious implications of these peregrinations and adoptions are considered in relation to prose texts by Carolyn Servid, Barry Lopez, John Muir, N. Scott Momaday, Gary Snyder, and others. These texts often associate their spirituality of place with reverence for what’s found in the going there rather than in the getting there. Developing the theme of localism versus globalism, this chapter concludes by assessing two versions of globally engaged localism as represented in works by Wendell Berry and David Haskell.

Full text

Abstract:

The chapter considers the presence of nominalist motives in the development of Leibniz’s logical and ontological thought. The discussion begins with Leibniz’s Preface to his reedition of the work of the Renaissance nominalist Nizolius, and emphasizes Leibniz’s acceptance of antirealistic assumptions, his balancing of them with Platonic elements, and his rejection of Hobbes’s conventionalist implications. There is also a consideration of the deflationary treatment of abstract terms that Leibniz offers as part of his program of providing ontological clarification by way of semantic analysis. Leibniz applies an analysis of abstract talk stemming from Hobbes, with the aim of availing himself of the resources of certain expressive devices in logical and scientific language, while avoiding realistic commitments. Leibniz’s final profession of a “precautionary nominalism” confirms his preference for ontological economy, but also leaves unresolved some problems in his “austere” account of the ontology of predication and change.

Abstract:

This article appears in theOxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aestheticsedited by John Richardson, Claudia Gorbman, and Carol Vernallis. Soundscape concepts have been employed for more than 20 years to enrich audiovisual studies. They have also been debated extensively. This chapter addresses soundscape as shifting, processual, historical, and produced in contingent situations. It focuses on a specific aspect of methodology that is useful for considering how to advance research on the audiovisual: methods in motion. Soundscape studies have stressed that researchers sometimes need to leave the “laboratory” and venture into fieldwork. Some of the recent developments in the “marriage” of soundscape and audiovisual studies are described, with three goals: (1) to direct attention to soundscape studies as the art and scholarly study of listening, (2) to introduce the sensory memory walk, and (3) to introduce the listening walk. Sound studies are increasingly employed as a basis for developing multisensory methodologies of studying times, spaces, and materialities to relocate sensate users of space at the center of the researcher’s attention.

Abstract:

Sempre acreditei no poder das palavras: palavras cantadas, faladas, pensadas, enfim, acredito na potência com que elas podem tocar os corações, acolher, emocionar, motivar, incentivar e materializar os sentimentos mais íntimos de cada ser humano. Às vezes, as palavras mais fascinantes aparecerão em uma boa conversa, em uma música ou em um livro como este que reúne as reflexões de um pensador que ousa dar asas à imaginação e colocar em versos, de uma forma leve e cativante, os seus sentimentos em relação ao amor, à vida, à amizade e à existência humana. Em relação ao fazer poético, o próprio autor menciona: “Poeta? Talvez. Ou apenas alguém que permite ao universo se manifestar por meio das palavras”. E que boas palavras! As palavras aqui contidas propiciam momentos de deleite e de reflexão que emocionam e acariciam o coração daqueles que permitem se levar pelo toque invisível e inebriante das palavras poéticas! Boa leitura! Wilma Maria Pereira
