Hegel's influence on American political thought : an analysis of the American Progressive movement
No full textJames Harvey Robinson, Charles Austin Beard, John Dewey, and Herbert Croly are all founding members of the American Progressive Movement. However, a thorough understanding of their philosophy remains incomplete. Thus, this thesis attempts to investigate the intellectual foundations of these scholars by comparing their philosophy to Hegel's. Therefore, the object of this thesis is to demonstrate that Hegel's philosophy plays a major role in the formation of American Progressive thought---an understanding of Hegel's political thought helps one to better grasp the philosophy of the American Progressive movement. While Robinson, Beard, Dewey, and Croly have many intellectual influences, a close reading of Hegel's works and the writings of the Progressives teases out similarities between the two. However, Hegel's influence on the Progressives is not self-evident or unattenuated---in most cases Hegel's influence comes to the Progressives through sources other than his texts (e.g., instructors and mentors, readings, and personal relations). Thus, this thesis argues that American Progressive thought represents some variation on Hegelianism

Insight into Emerging Opportunities for Sustainable-Led Strategies in Textiles
No full textSustainability is an important, but ever-changing area of development. The potential benefits to society and the planet are limitless. However, many profit seeking companies struggle with sustainability and how to incorporate sustainable-led strategies without compromising the bottom- line. It is particularly true in textiles, where it can be a significant challenge to deliver impactful products, while utilizing sustainable-led strategies. This paper provides insight into the opportunities for sustainable-led strategies in textiles. After a brief review of sustainable-led strategies, the paper explores the impact of technology on sustainability and how this interaction has led to market opportunities in a variety of industries, including textiles. The discussion indicates that sustainable-led strategies can be an effective approach in textiles. As sustainability becomes more important to the planet and consumer demand for sustainable products grow, companies in textiles can utilize technology to implement effective sustainable-led strategies to maximize the growing demand for sustainable products and drive the bottom-line
