ADAM SMITH'S OPTIMISTIC TELEOLOGICAL VIEW OF HISTORY
No full textAdam Smith's four-stage theory provides the framework for his writings on history. The fourth stage is the commercial epoch; the culmination of history in this stage is a key component in the conventional interpretation of Adam Smith as a prophet of commercialism. In two historical case studies Smith shows the capacity of commercial society to regenerate itself. This potent capacity suggests that commercial society is inevitable. At a certain point in time it also overcomes the major obstacles to its permanence. Smith's philosophy of history anticipates the end of history views of Kant and Hegel.Political Economy,
How Might Adam Smith Pay Professors Today?
No full textAdam Smith’s proposal for paying professors was intended to induce increased faculty knowledge. If students have imperfect information about what they learn, and universities can only imperfectly measure the input of faculty time in student learning, publications may be used to measure faculty knowledge. If professors’ ability to publish is positively related to their ability to produce student learning, which universities can imperfectly measure, publications may be necessary to attract more able professors. Since research signals faculty knowledge, schools that do not value publications per se could require higher publication standards and pay higher wages than schools that value only publications.
ADAM SMITH'S VIEW OF HISTORY: CONSISTENT OR PARADOXICAL?
No full textThe conventional interpretation of Adam Smith is that he is a prophet of commercialism. The liberal capitalist reading of Smith is consistent with the view that history culminates in commercial society. The first part of the article develops this optimistic interpretation of Smith's view of history. Smith implies that commercial society is the end of history because 1) it supplies the ends of nature that he identifies; 2) it is inevitable; and 3) it is permanent. The second part of the article shows that Smith has some dark moments in his writings where he seems to reject completely such teleological notions. In this more civic humanist mood he confesses that commercial society does not supply the ends of nature, nor is it inevitable, nor is it permanent. Both views exist in Smith and the commentator is forced to choose between passages in Smith's work in order to support a particular interpretation of the former's view of history.Political Economy,

THE THEOLOGICAL FOUNDATION OF ADAM SMITH'S WORK
No full textThe paper will discuss the theological foundation to Smith's writings. Teleology, final causes and divine design were initially seen as central to understanding Smith's writings. Over time, this view fell out of fashion. In the period after World War II, with the rise of positivism, commentators tended to overlook or downplay this interpretation. In the last decade, or so, teleology has started to be restored to its former position as an essential element in understanding Smith. After spelling out Smith's teleology and his view of final causes, divine design and the ends of nature, we try to explain the Panglossian nature of the 'new theistic view' of Smith. While our view differs somewhat, we agree with the essence of the 'new view' claim: a theological view exists in Smith which underpins his moral and economic theories.Political Economy,

Oral history of Andrew Moreira
No full textAndrew Santos Moreira is a proud First Generation of Brazilian descent and New Jersey native. As an undergrad at Rutgers-Newark, Andrew served as Co-President to his campus' only LGBTQIA+ student organization, RU Pride. During his tenure, Andrew and his team spearheaded events and collaborations that fostered meaningful dialogue around diversity, equity and inclusion. These collaborative events included supporting the Muslim Student Organization's protests against the Trump administration's ban against predominantly Muslim countries, as well as inviting an international speaker and founder of IraQueer to speak on and advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights in Iraq.
Following the end of his tenure leading RU Pride, Andrew worked closely with the Director of the LGBTQ & Intercultural Resource Center to bring the 2018 Northeast LGBT Conference to Newark. This conference included partnerships with the Mayor's Office of Newark, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Essex County College. During the 3-day weekend, Newark welcomed hundreds of students, staff, and community members from all around the northeast to a peer-led conference offering dialogues focused on intersectionality, body positivity, community-empowered collective activism, and more. Upon graduation with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing, Andrew was honored with the 2018 Dean James Credle Award, the 2018 Legacy Leader Award, and the 2018 Outstanding Leadership Award.
Andrew's first job out of college was as a Public Health Representative within the Infectious Diseases Practice (IDP) providing HIV testing and counseling services for patients at University Hospital. In his role, Andrew coordinated events that expanded testing opportunities across Newark, within college communities and the Ironbound. In addition to testing, Andrew used his marketing expertise to develop a branding logo for University Hospital's newly founded LGBTQIA+ PRIDE organization and curated a new website for the IDP with a modernized user interface to boost community outreach.
As Andrew grew in this position, he moved laterally to Research With A Heart (RWAH) continuing his work around public health advocacy. In this position, he focused on building and fostering dialogue around, and recruiting participants for, culturally competent research study opportunities about HIV and COVID-19. In this role, Andrew continued his partnerships with community-based organizations and academic institutions and sought collaborations for events around sexual health advocacy and awareness. While leading a department-wide brand refresh, Andrew also managed the social media for the department, and developed a new website to spotlight all of the wonderful initiatives and opportunities at RWAH. Throughout this process, Andrew worked closely with colleagues throughout the department, community, and University Hospital to pursue a brand identity that best serves the needs of the greater Newark community.
In his quest to focus on addressing and improving mental health outcomes in the workplace, Andrew is currently pursuing his Master of Public Administration (MPA) with an expected graduation date of Spring 2023. Through this work and his existing community connections and relationships, Andrew is looking to build a supportive and inclusive future for all. Andrew couldn't do this alone and is working during this process with his sidekick, and most handsome tuxedo cat, Chip, who Andrew rescued from a local shelter in Newark. In time, Andrew aims to inspire change and collective activism through innovative ideas and initiatives.Photo caption: (3) Chip - the handsome tuxedo cat and sidekick
Książę Adam Jerzy Czartoryski i jego stronnicy w świetle historiografii ukraińskiej
No full textIn 1937, the Warsaw historian Marceli Handelsman published a work entitled Ukraińska polityka
ks. Adama Czartoryskiego przed wojną krymską [Ukrainian politics of Prince Adam Czartoryski
before the Crimean War]. So far, this book has been used by historians as the primary source of
information on the Ukrainian issue in the views of the Hotel Lambert’s leader. The author of this
text has decided to collect Ukrainian works referring to the topic inaugurated by Handelsman. Unfortunately, no larger study has been prepared on the Ukrainian side. However, a number of articles
and encyclopaedic notes showing Prince Adam and his Eastern policy (especially during his stay
at the court of Tsar Alexander I Romanov) has been published. Ukrainian authors paid much more
attention to Czartoryski’s associates, who tried to put his ideas into practice. Ukrainian researchers
wrote mainly about Michał Czaykowski (Sadyk Pasha) organizing the Cossack troops in the Ottoman Empire, about Hipolit Terlecki striving for the union of the Orthodox and Roman Catholic
Churches, and finally about the ethnographer and writer Franciszek Duchiński clearly separating
Ukraine from Russia in his writings
