Schlitt, Dale M. "Hegel on Determinate Religion". Owl of Minerva 52, n. 1 (2021): 27–50. http://dx.doi.org/10.5840/owl202152834.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
With his important, history-contextualizing study, Jon Stewart has drawn renewed attention to Hegel’s often neglected philosophical interpretation of determinate religion. He focuses on Hegel’s philosophical reading of distinct historical religions, in which Hegel brings them together in serial fashion. In so doing, Hegel proposes a unique philosophy of determinate religion which constitutes an essential element in his philosophical argument in favor of the consummate religion, historically instantiated in Christianity. Stewart’s study is, in effect, an invitation to look again at Hegel’s monumental effort to comprehend religion in its varied historical realizations. The present article proposes to respond to this invitation in a preliminary and modest way. We note various claims Hegel makes regarding his philosophy of determinate religion and then identify a number of challenges arising from these claims. Against this background of claims and challenges, we conclude with an appreciation of Stewart’s work. The appreciation proceeds in four steps: first, a recall of what Stewart intends to do, the focus he adopts, and the theses he argues; second, a review of his emphasis on Hegel’s contexts and sources; third, several remarks on his reading of Hegel on determinate religion; fourth, a reflection on important contributions Stewart makes to the present and future study of Hegel on determinate religion.

In 1964, the United States Supreme Court affirmed by its decision in Jacobellis vs. Ohio that the French art film, Les Amants, was not, as the State of Ohio had previously defined it, “hardcore pornography.” In his concurrent opinion, Justice Potter Stewart wrote that, though he couldn’t properly define what might constitute “hardcore pornography,” it was something that would be obvious to most of us, especially when compared to a bawdy, yet otherwise harmless, foreign film. His exact words were: “but I know it when I see it.” And while Justice Stewart’s simple acknowledgment that we might “know” what something means merely based on our personal perceptions helped justify the Court’s stance on how it approached similar obscenity laws (as well as made him famous) from that point on, it also serves us well in our own search for definitions of words like “religion” or “Atheism.” This article will use Justice Stewart’s argument as a base of discussion for the latter, providing in the process examples of Atheists across three historical periods, that will in turn support a practical description of the term itself, while simultaneously challenging the need for a “definition of Atheism” in the first place.

The known biography of the early african american writer and lecturer Maria W. Stewart (1803–79) is as brief as it is fascinating. After the childhood loss of her parents, she married James W. Stewart, a Boston shipping agent, in 1826. The Stewarts had close ties with the black radical David Walker, whose fiery 1829 Appeal kindled fears of slave rebellion and was in its third edition when Walker died under suspicious circumstances in August 1830. After James Stewart's own untimely death, in December 1829, his executors swindled Maria Stewart out of her inheritance, and she turned to the church and to writing and lecturing. Revising Walker's combination of jeremiad and Enlightenment-influenced political argument to reflect her own sense of faith, racism and racial uplift, and gender politics, Stewart became one of the first American women to address “promiscuous” audiences. She published a series of probing meditations as well as a set of her lectures—texts still startling for their power and bluntness—in pamphlets and, later, as Productions of Mrs, Maria Stewart (1835).

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Two recent works by Carden & Stewart (1988) and Arends (1989) have tried to prove a gradual rather than a single-generational origin for Haitian and Sranan respectively. Both arguments, however, are severely flawed. The Carden-Stewart argument from Haitian reflexivization is shown to depend on misinterpretations of both bioprogram theory and generative principles. Further, their claim that early Haitian was not a full language would entail that Middle English (among others) was also not a full language. Arends' claims of radical diachronic change in Sranan involve treating as an early creole sample a fragmentary text which, given the social and historical context of seventeenth-century Suriname, was most probably produced by a second-language learner of the creole. Reanalysis of Arends' data shows that he exaggerates the significance of marginal forms and mistakenly treats the inherent variability characteristic of all languages as evidence for ongoing change. In fact, none of the data reviewed in these works is inconsistent with the emergence of Haitian and Sranan as full languages in a single generation.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
At 10:00 A.M. on May 21, 1845, ‘the tall, straight figure and pale, grave face of the slave's friend, Alvan Stewart’, turned toward the justices of the New Jersey Supreme Court as he commenced his opening argument in the companion cases, State v. Post and State v. Van Beuren. In the ensuing hours, Stewart argued for the immediate abolition of slavery and black apprenticeship in New Jersey. Although Stewart relied upon many authorities, the justices and the attorneys for the defendants believed that his most promising argument was based upon the state constitution of 1844, the first of the state's fundamental laws to declare that ‘all men are by nature free and independent’. On the following day, the defense counsel—A.O. Zabriskie, a Hackensack attorney, and Joseph P. Bradley, the future U.S. Supreme Court Justice—spoke with ‘much energy and ingenuity’ until five o'clock. The reply of the ‘Abolition Ajax’ lasted until 10:30 and closed with an impassioned appeal to the justices. ‘Such was the impressiveness with which the closing appeal of the advocate for freedom was delivered’, a newspaperman reported, that none of the large audience wished to ‘break the spell his eloquence had cast upon the assembly’. At length, the bench arose, and Chief Justice Joseph Hornblower adjourned the court.

ABSTRACTIn “Reasons to Believe and Reasons to Act,” Stewart Cohen argues that balance of reasons accounts of rational action get the wrong results when applied to doxastic attitudes, and that there are therefore important differences between reasons to believe and reasons to act. In this paper, I argue that balance of reasons accounts of rational action get the right results when applied to the cases that Cohen considers, and that these results highlight interesting similarities between reasons to believe and reasons to act. I also consider an argument for Cohen's conclusion based on the principle that Adler, Moran, Shah, Velleman and others call “transparency.” I resist this argument by explaining why transparency is itself doubtful.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
According to Thomas Reid, the development of natural sciences following the model of Newton's Principia and Optics would provide further evidence for the belief in a provident God. This project was still supported by his student, Dugald Stewart, in the early nineteenth century. John Fearn (1768–1837), an early critic of the Scottish common sense school, thought that the rise of ‘infidelity’ in the wake of scientific progress had shown that the apologetic project of Reid and Stewart had failed. In reaction to Reid and Stewart, he proposed an idealist philosophy that would dispense with the existence of matter, and would thus cut at the root what he thought was the main source of modern atheism. In this paper, I consider Fearn's critique of Reid and Stewart in his main works: First Lines of the Human Mind (1820) and Manual of the Physiology of Mind (1829). I also consider Fearn's arguments against Hume and in favour of a renewed apologetics in An Essay on the Philosophy of Faith and the Economy of Revelation (1815).

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
There are few wildlife populations existing today that can be supported without some form of management. Wildlife fertility control, as one option, has moved from the research stage to actual application with a number of species, including wild horses, urban deer, captive exotic species and even African elephants, but this approach remains controversial in many quarters. Strident debate has arisen over the possible effects of contraception on behaviour, genetics, stress and even management economics, among other parameters. Part of the debate arises from the fact that critics often fail to recognise that some form of alternative management will be applied, and a second problem arises when critics fail to identify and demand the same concern for the consequences of the alternative management approaches. Thus, any rational debate on the merits or possible effects of contraceptive management of wildlife must also recognise all alternative management approaches and apply the same concern and questions to these alternative approaches – including ‘no management’ – as are currently being applied to fertility control. Only then will the stewards of wildlife be in a position to make wise and informed decisions about management options.

Jackson, Alexander. "HOW TO FORMULATE ARGUMENTS FROM EASY KNOWLEDGE, AND MAYBE HOW TO RESIST THEM". American Philosophical Quarterly 55, n. 4 (1 ottobre 2018): 341–55. http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/45128629.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Abstract Arguments from "easy knowledge" are meant to refute a class of epistemological views, including foundationalism about perceptual knowledge. I present arguments from easy knowledge in their strongest form, and explain why other formulations in the literature are inferior. I criticize two features of Stewart Cohen’s presentation (2002, 2005), namely his focus on knowing that one’s faculties are reliable, and his use of a Williamson-style closure principle. Rather, the issue around easy knowledge must be understood using a notion of epistemic priority. Roger White’s presentation (2006) is contaminated by the so-called lottery puzzle, which is best kept separate. Distinguishing basic from non-basic visual contents limits the force of the examples discussed by Cohen, White, and Crispin Wright (2007). Finally, I present a new strategy for resisting even the best-formulated arguments from easy knowledge.

Hong, Haojie. "Grands diviseurs premiers de suites récurrentes linéaires". Electronic Thesis or Diss., Bordeaux, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024BORD0107.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Cette thèse porte sur les minorations des plus grands diviseurs premiers de suites récurrentes linéaires. Tout d’abord, nous obtenons une version uniforme et explicite du résultat séminal de Stewart sur les diviseurs premiers des suites de Lucas. Nous montrons que les constantes du théorème de Stewart ne dépendent que du corps quadratique correspondant à la suite de Lucas, mais pas d’autres paramètres. Nous étudions ensuite les diviseurs premiers des ordres de courbes elliptiques sur des corps finis. En fixant une courbe elliptique sur un corps fini Fq avec q puissance d’un nombre premier, la suite #E(Fqn) s’avère être une suite récurrente linéaire d’ordre 4. Soit P(x) le plus grand nombre premier divisant x. Une minoration de P(#E(Fqn)) est donnée en utilisant l’argument de Stewart et quelques discussions plus délicates. Ensuite, motivés par nos deux projets précédents, nous pouvons montrer que lorsque γ est un nombre algébrique de degré 2 et non une racine d’unité, il existe un idéal premier p de Q(γ) vérifiant νp(γn − 1) ≥ 1, tel que le nombre premier rationnel p sous-jacent à p croît plus rapidement que n. Enfin, nous considérons une application de la méthode de Stewart aux nombres de Fibonacci Fn. Nous obtenons des bornes relativement plus nettes pour P(Fn). Tous les sujets ci-dessus s’appuient essentiellement sur l’estimation de Yu pour des formes linéaires de logarithmique p-adiquesThis thesis is about lower bounds for the biggest prime divisors of linear recurrent sequences. First, we obtain a uniform and explicit version of Stewart’s seminal result about prime divisors of Lucas sequences. We show that constants in Stewart’s theorem depend only on the quadratic field corresponding to a Lucas sequence. Then we study the prime divisors of orders of elliptic curves over finite fields. Fixing an elliptic curve over Fq with q power of a prime number, the sequence #E(Fqn) happens to be a linear recurrent sequence of order 4. Let P(x) be the biggest prime dividing x. A lower bound of P(#E(Fqn)) is given by using Stewart’s argument and some more delicate discussions. Next, motivated by our previous two projects, we can show that when γ is an algebraic number of degree 2 and not a root of unity, there exists a prime ideal p of Q(γ) satisfying νp(γn − 1) ≥ 1, such that the rational prime p underlying p grows quicker than n. Finally, we consider a numerical application of Stewart’s method to Fibonacci numbers Fn. Relatively sharp bounds for P(Fn) are obtained. All of the above work relies heavily on Yu’s estimate for p-adic logarithmic forms

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart uses humor to explore, analyze, and criticize current media and political trends, politicians, and campaigns. Reappropriation uses video as an argument against the original producers of that content, one of the tools used to highlight the problems with the political and current media coverage. The effectiveness of using reappropriated video is analyzed through a rhetorical analysis, combining argumentative analysis and functional analysis. Through this analysis a structure is developed for three types of arguments used by The Daily Show: highlighting absurdity, the political fact check and highlighting contradictions, and exposing social and media patterns. The analysis explores the strengths and weaknesses of each type of reappropriation, and the structural form of the argument.

This chapter lays out the basic argument of the book: the ascent of private ownership in China is largely due to the inability of the public sector to address two fundamental concerns for regime survival—employment and revenue. The chapter includes three sections. First, based on a review and synthesis of existing theories, it develops an eclectic perspective on institutional change. Second, it offers a critique of three views on the driving forces of privatization in the post-Mao era: the entrepreneurship thesis, the budget constraint thesis, and the FDI thesis. Third, it outlines a new explanation for the causal mechanisms at work. The focus of analysis centers on the behavior of political actors, with an emphasis on the importance of demographics and the state’s evolving fiscal system for understanding how and why political actors have turned from the stewards of public enterprises into a major contributing force to their destruction.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This book tells the lively story of common sense realism’s rise and fall in Scotland. Chapter 1 explores the work of the Scottish common sense school of philosophy, whose representatives included Thomas Reid (1710–96), James Oswald (1703–93), James Beattie (1735–1803), and George Campbell (1719–96). Chapter 2 examines the earlier but little-known defence of perceptual realism mounted by Lord Kames (1696–1782), David Hume’s cousin and critic. Chapter 3 examines Reid’s defence of common sense realism and scrutinizes his campaign against the Cartesian assumptions on which the problem of the external world depends. Chapter 4 describes how Reidian common sense realism was propagated by two influential nineteenth-century philosophers: Dugald Stewart (1753–1828), who was content for the most part to expound Reid’s views eloquently, and the more ambitious Sir William Hamilton (1788–1856), who tried in vain to synthesize Reid and Kant. Chapters 5 and 6 highlight the two main contributions to the realism debate made by James Frederick Ferrier (1808–64): his no-holds-barred critique of Reid’s realism, and his novel argument for a form of idealism which is both neo-Berkeleyan and post-Kantian. Chapter 7 offers some reflections about the surprising direction Scottish philosophy took in the years following Ferrier’s death in 1864.

Abstract Grimké’s Appeal is a landmark address in the history of American abolitionism. She calls on fellow southern Christian white women to commit themselves to ending the institution of chattel slavery. Central to that effort, she says, is persuading their fathers, husbands, and brothers that slaveholding is immoral. Christian ethics and the language of gender-based virtues organize her arguments.

This essay by Susan Seizer and Aviva Orenstein presents and analyzes the stand-up comedy of Stewart Huff, a regional road comic whose work is a stellar example of truth-telling through humor. His show God Hates Ann (2017) exposes and critiques sloppy and narrow-minded anti-science arguments and bigoted attitudes. Through a hilarious, if sometimes horrifying, march through the history of intolerance to new scientific ideas, Huff demonstrates the folly of resisting change, and challenges uncritical devotion to tradition. The contributors focus on both the subversive content of Huff’s act and his engaging form of delivery to explore how he expertly embodies the duality of being a “P.I.” —simultaneously Private Investigator and Public Intellectual.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Abstract This chapter begins by exploring Schelling’s concept of “un-pre-thinkable being” (das unvordenkliche Seyn), which inaugurates his positive philosophy, through an extended comparison with Jean-Paul Sartre’s notion of “being-in-itself” (l’être-en-soi) in Being and Nothingness (1943). Both thinkers develop what they describe as a “hypothesis” concerning what Sartre calls the “decompression” of being-in-itself, or the original emergence of the “for-itself” (le pour-soi) from the in-itself. For Schelling, in a comparable process, “necessarily necessary existing-ness” (i.e., the necessary being of the ontological argument) arises through the transformation of “contingently necessary existing-ness”—or “blind existing-ness”—into primordial possibility or potentiality (Urmöglichkeit). This distinctive twist on the ontological argument is compared to Hegel’s reworking of the argument. The chapter then explores the two philosophers’ respective concepts of Creation. It concludes by comparing Schelling’s account of the emergence of freedom within the natural world with Helen Steward’s defense of “agency incompatibilism” in her A Metaphysics for Freedom.

Abstract This chapter is an argument for the classification of the Atlantic English-based creoles (henceforth AECs) as the direct descendants of a stabilized progenitor of West African origin. I am by no means the first author to suggest this thesis. Its earliest attestation is Stewart (1971), followed by Alleyne (1971: 179-80), Carter (1987), and Smith (1987a). Hancock (1969, 1986, 1987) has been the most comprehensive advocate (also arguing that the parent pidgin was transported from the West African coast, an argument that I agree with, despite having attempted a revision of its particulars in McWhorter [2000a], to which I refer interested readers [that argument will not be presented in this chapter]).

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Abstract A number of articles have questioned approaches taken to the study of management (Carroll and Gillen 1987; Reed 1984; Stewart 1989; Whitley 1984, 1989; Willmott 1984, 1987). They echo Reed’s (1984 : 279) argument that there is a need for ‘a substantial reconsideration of the conceptual equipment through which management on a theoretical, methodological and empirical level is to be understood’. Studies of management are criticized for treating it as a technical, politically neutral activity, decontextualized and depoliticized (Willmott 1987). Stewart (1989) notes that management is all too often depicted as a static entity, a universally similar activity, prone to the development of lists.

This chapter argues that the change in attitude to art from Reformation times to today was undergirded by theological argument: first among Enlightenment philosophers such as Alison, Hutcheson, Reid, Turnbull, and Stewart; then by the more practically orientated reflections of artists such as Sir David Wilkie. The aim of art should be more than simply representational: it should elicit some sense of the divine, a view endorsed by the most important Scottish theologian to discuss the issue, P. T. Forsyth. Two of the most interesting artists in this respect are identified as Robert Scott Lauder and William Dyce. The discussion ends with an exploration of the possibilities for creative engagement today, particularly with apparently hostile initiatives.

This chapter talks about how children are often responsibilised in environmental policy and media discourses in both India and the UK. Abstract evocations of future generations materialise in many areas of climate change policy, based on the ethical argument that, as those imagined to outlive current generations of adults, children have the most to gain from activities and policies seeking to sustain the environments of which they are a part. Yet the centring of children in discourses of climate change impact and response is not without practical and ethical problems. Positioning children as ‘undercover agents of change’ for the environmental movement is as much an abrogation of responsibility for what are essentially the damaging environmental practices of adults, as is offshoring environmental responsibility to the next generation of stewards of the earth.

Abstract This chapter offers a critical review of the environmental authoritarianism (EA) literature. The history of this contested concept is first reviewed before a turn to ongoing debate over whether autocrats are better environmental stewards than leaders in democracies. The argument is made that the study of EA lacks firm theoretical foundations and could benefit from closer engagement with the growing literature on authoritarian survival. Using case study analysis, the chapter then highlights the potential that a focus on authoritarian survival strategies—co-optation, legitimization, and repression—has for better understanding the varieties of environmental authoritarianism. The chapter concludes with a discussion of key variables such as state capacity, level of corruption, leadership, and national wealth that shape autocrats’ ability to make use of these strategies in the environmental domain.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Abstract In this work, a closed form solution for the direct position kinematics problem of a special class of Stewart Platform is presented. This class of mechanisms has a general feature that the top platform is connected to the six limbs at four locations. Three limbs connect at one location and the remaining limbs connect to the top platform singly at three separate locations. The base platform is connected at six different locations as is the case in the general platform. This particular class of mechanism is termed as 3-1-1-1 mechanism in this paper. It has been shown that there are a maximum of sixteen real assembly configurations for the direct position kinematics problem. This has been verified using a geometric argument also. The numerical example solved in this paper demonstrates that it is possible to obtain a set of solutions which are all real.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Effectively acting upon our most urgent crises requires a profound understanding of how to mentally inhabit the timescales at which they operate. This paper discusses the Deep Time Project on Climate Change, a new pedagogical experiment that aims to radically expand architecture’s time sensibilities under the premise that, as the geological actors that we have become, we must develop the deep time literacy demanded by the great challenge of becoming true planetary stewards. The argument is that the unprecedented global challenges we are facing today demand a paradigmatic shift in time perception by which deep (global) and shallow(planetary) timescales are acknowledged as entangled and as equally integral to the human condition. This shift, which starts with the recognition of deep time as part of human nature, will inevitably bring about new—and urgently needed—levels of consciousness to our ways of being in this planet. The DTPoCC aims to develop a new vantage point to rethink architecture’s agency in the current constellation of human and environmental crises and within the larger context of the deeper history of this planet. The narrower perspectives of mainstream architectural pedagogies have encapsulated the discipline within the boundaries of the global, limiting its agency to only what humans are capable of doing. The DTPoCC aims to incorporate the dimension of the planetary by which the agent of architecture expands, becoming a complex formation that involves humans and more-than-humans—from the technologies involved in the production of a building, for instance, to the geological substrate that supports it. By acknowledging the dimension of the planetary, the DTPoCC aims to unearth new conceptions of architecture in a world of entanglements between geological, technological, human, animal, and viral bodies co-producing the “web of life.”
